As a result of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of Texas as the surviving corporation (in such capacity, the Company is referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall own all of the stock and other equity, if any, in Merger Sub and shall be the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, and Merger Sub shall be treated as a direct corporate subsidiary of the Parent for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

2.2 Closing.

(a) The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Central time, on a date that is three Business Days following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver in accordance with this Agreement of all of the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than any such conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which shall be required to be so satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived in accordance with this Agreement on the Closing Date) at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P. in Houston, Texas, or such other place as the Parent and the Company may agree in writing. For purposes of this Agreement “Closing Date” shall mean the date on which the Closing occurs.

(b) As soon as practicable on the Closing Date but after the Closing, (i) a certificate of merger prepared and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the TBOC (the “Texas Certificate of Merger”) shall be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and (ii) a certificate of merger prepared and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Delaware Certificate of Merger”) shall be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective upon the acceptance of the filing of the Texas Certificate of Merger with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and the acceptance of the filing of the Delaware Certificate of Merger with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as shall be agreed upon in writing by the Parent and the Company and specified in each of the Texas Certificate of Merger and the Delaware Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

2.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the TBOC and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities,

obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. Immediately after the Effective Time, the Parent shall own all of the stock and other equity, if any, in the Surviving Corporation and shall be the sole stockholder of the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall be treated as a direct corporate subsidiary of the Parent for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

2.4 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to be in the form of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement until such certificate of incorporation and bylaws are thereafter amended and restated, subject to Section 8.12(a), in accordance with their respective terms and applicable Law.

2.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The Parties shall take all necessary action such that from and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, and such directors and officers shall serve until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation.

2.6 Post-Closing Merger. Immediately following the Effective Time, the Parent shall cause the LLC Sub Merger, with LLC Sub continuing as the surviving entity in such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, pursuant to a merger agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “LLC Sub Merger Agreement”). At the time of and immediately after the LLC Sub Merger, the Parent shall own all of the membership interests and other equity, if any, in LLC Sub and shall be the sole member of LLC Sub, and LLC Sub shall be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Parent for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

2.7 R&W Policy. On the Execution Date, the Parent has procured the R&W Policy, and each of the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) have paid to (a) the R&W Insurance Provider the underwriting diligence fee and (b) the R&W Insurance Broker 10% of the premium charged for the R&W Policy (the “Premium Deposit”) and all surplus lines taxes necessary to bind the R&W Policy (with each of the Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders), on the other hand, paying one-half of such underwriting diligence fee, Premium Deposit and surplus lines taxes). The R&W Policy is in full force and effect as of the Execution Date, subject to receipt by the R&W Insurance Provider of any subjectivities noticed in the R&W Policy binder. Immediately prior to Closing, the Parent shall remit payment to the R&W Insurance Broker for the balance of the premium owed on the R&W Policy (the “Premium Balance”), in accordance with the terms applicable to the R&W Policy, and take whatever other action is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the R&W Policy at the Closing. An amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Premium Balance shall be deducted from the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration, in lieu of the payment of such amount to the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) and the further payment by the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) of the Stockholders’ proportionate share of such Premium Balance.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY AND MERGER SUB

3.1 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party:

(a) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that, after the Effective Time, the Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation’s common stock.

(b) Each holder (including, if applicable, any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent (other than Merger Sub) or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company) of outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (excluding any Cancelled Shares) (the “Company Common Stock”), Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (excluding any Cancelled Shares) (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (excluding any Cancelled Shares) (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Company Preferred Stock”) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have its shares converted into the right to receive (without interest) the number of shares of Specified Parent Common Stock set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. All such shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock shall thereafter cease to be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled, extinguished and retired and shall cease to exist. Each such Stockholder shall also be entitled to receive a portion of the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration payable to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the account of and on behalf of the Stockholders) under this Agreement, which portion shall be determined in accordance with that certain Direction Letter, dated as of the Execution Date, among the Stockholders’ Representative and the Stockholders (the “Direction Letter”). The Stockholders and the Stockholders’ Representative acknowledge and agree that Parent shall not be obligated to pay aggregate consideration in connection with the Merger in excess of the Final Cash Merger Consideration (as finally determined pursuant to Section 4.3), the Specified Parent Common Stock, the Escrow Amount, the Closing Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses, any consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and (c) and any indemnification obligations of Parent pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Each Company Share held in the treasury of the Company or by the Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cancelled Shares”) shall automatically be canceled and retired without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

3.2 Cancellation of Company Options. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide notice to the extent required under the terms of the Company Stock Incentive Plan, obtain any necessary consents, adopt applicable resolutions, amend the terms of the Company Stock Incentive Plan and any awards outstanding thereunder, and take all other actions necessary to: (i) cause all Company Options that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, to be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) terminate the Company Stock Incentive Plan as of the Effective Time; and (iii) ensure that after the Effective Time, no holder of any award granted under the Company Stock Incentive Plan or any beneficiary thereof, nor any other participant in the Company Stock Incentive Plan, shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the Company or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Stock Incentive Plan. Executed consents of holders of Company Options canceled pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be delivered to the Parent on or prior to the Closing Date. As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Incentive Plan shall be terminated and no further awards or other rights shall be granted thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2, on or before the Closing Date, the Company shall cause all Company Options that are held by the Employees listed on Section 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule to be cancelled, which cancellation shall become effective at the Effective Time.

3.3 No Dissenters Rights. Pursuant to Section 10.351 of the TBOC and Section 262 of the DGCL, no dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal will apply in connection with the Merger.

3.4 Closing of Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares shall thereafter be made. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of Company Shares (“Certificates”) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable Law.

(a) Closing Payments. At the Closing, the Parent shall pay or cause to be paid, or shall deposit or cause to be deposited, as the case may be, the following amounts by wire transfers of immediately available funds, pursuant to wire transfer instructions confirmed by the applicable payment recipient in writing, or other applicable payment methods as may be authorized by any particular Stockholder pursuant to such Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal:

(i) The Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent, the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Indemnification Escrow Amount for the Escrow Agent to hold in an account (the “Escrow Account”) and disburse solely in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the Escrow Agreement;

(ii) The Parent shall issue or pay or cause to be issued or paid, as applicable, to each holder of Company Shares that delivers a completed and duly executed letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”), all applicable Certificates for cancellation (or an affidavit of lost Certificate as contemplated by the Letter of Transmittal) and a duly executed Lock-Up Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”) with respect to such shares of Specified Parent Common Stock, to the Parent on or prior to the Closing Date, the number of shares of Specified Parent Common Stock set forth opposite such holder’s name on Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule;

(iii) The Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the account of and on behalf of the Stockholders), the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration;

(iv) The Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable lenders identified in Section 4.1(a)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and any other holder of Closing Indebtedness, the applicable amounts in respect of the Estimated Closing Indebtedness pursuant to the delivery instructions provided in the applicable Payoff Letters; and

(v) The Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable payees set forth on Section 4.1(a)(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and any other Person to whom Transaction Expenses are owed, the Estimated Transaction Expenses pursuant to the delivery instructions provided in the applicable Invoices.

(b) Post-Closing Payments. From and after the Closing, the Parent shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days after receipt) pay or cause to be paid to the Stockholders’ Representative for the account of and on behalf of each Stockholder that delivers to the Parent at any time after the Closing Date a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and all applicable Certificates for cancellation (or an affidavit of lost Certificate as contemplated by the Letter of Transmittal) with respect to all Company Shares held by such Stockholder, the consideration (without interest) that would have been payable to such Stockholder pursuant to Sections 4.1(a)(ii) and (iii) if such Stockholder had delivered such documents on or prior to the Closing Date. Any other payments (including distributions by the Escrow Agent) to be made to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the account of and on behalf of the Stockholders) following the Closing shall be made by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation, LLC Sub or the Escrow Agent, as applicable.

(c) Unexchanged Company Shares. The Parent will, promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver to the Surviving Corporation or LLC Sub, as applicable, surrendered Letters of Transmittal received by it, and, within five Business Days after the 18th month following the Closing Date, return to the Surviving Corporation or LLC Sub, as applicable, any portion of the consideration remaining to be paid to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the account of and on

behalf of the Stockholders) pursuant to this Article IV who have not yet delivered their Letters of Transmittal and any other funds that are to be paid to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the account of and on behalf of the Stockholders). Any Stockholders shall thereafter be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation or LLC Sub, as applicable, for payment of their claims for the consideration set forth in Section 3.1 without interest thereon.

(d) No Fractional Shares of Parent Common Stock. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the delivery of a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a holder of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder), such Stockholder shall receive, in lieu of such fraction of a share, a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by (ii) $29.98.

(e) No Liability for Abandoned Property. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, none of the Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or LLC Sub shall be liable to any Stockholder for any amounts paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Payments to Persons Other than Registered Holders. If any consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange shall deliver such Certificate accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and LLC Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, including from any shares of Specified Parent Common Stock payable pursuant hereto, any amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Laws. If the applicable withholding agent determines that deduction or withholding is required pursuant to this Section 4.1(g), it shall give reasonable prior notice of any amount to be deducted or withheld to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding would be made. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, to minimize or eliminate to the extent permissible under applicable Laws the amount of any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be paid to the applicable Governmental Body on behalf of the Person from whom deducted or withheld and, to the extent so paid, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(h) No Liability after Issuance of Specified Parent Common Stock and Payments to Stockholders’ Representative and Certain Other Payments. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, following the issuance of the Specified Parent Common Stock to the Stockholders, the payment by the Parent to the Stockholders’ Representative of the Final Cash Merger Consideration and any other amount payable to the Stockholders’ Representative by the Parent for the account of and on behalf of the Stockholders, and the payment by the Parent of the Escrow Amount, the Closing Indebtedness, the Transaction Expenses, any consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and (c) and any indemnification obligations of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement, none of the Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or LLC Sub shall be liable to any Stockholder for the portion of such amount (if any) payable by the Stockholders’ Representative to such Stockholder hereunder, whether payable to such Stockholder pursuant to the Direction Letter or otherwise, and each Stockholder shall thereafter only be entitled to seek payment of such amount from the Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver, or shall cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Parent a statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”); (ii) the Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”); (iii) the Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), calculated in accordance with GAAP, except as otherwise set forth in the Working Capital Calculation, including a calculation of the Estimated Working Capital Deficit or the Estimated Working Capital Excess, as the case may be; (iv) the Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”); and (v) the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration resulting therefrom; provided that, if the Parent indicates in writing to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the Closing that it does not agree with Company’s calculation of the Estimated Working Capital or the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration, then the Parent and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually reconcile such dispute and if any adjustments are made thereto, then the adjusted calculation of the Estimated Working Capital and/or the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration, as so mutually reconciled, shall be the Estimated Working Capital and/or the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration; provided, however, that if the Parties cannot agree on the calculation of the Estimated Working Capital or the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration on or prior to the Business Day prior to the Closing, then the Company’s calculation of the Estimated Working Capital and the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration delivered pursuant to this Section 4.3(a) shall be deemed the Estimated Working Capital and the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration for purposes of the Closing, except that the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be increased by the aggregate amount in dispute (the “Disputed Estimated Closing Date Amount”); provided, however, that the Disputed Estimated Closing Date Amount shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

(b) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, the Parent shall prepare, or cause the LLC Sub to prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) a statement (the “Closing Statement”), which shall include (i) a calculation of the Closing Indebtedness; (ii) a calculation of the Closing Transaction Expenses; (iii) a calculation

of Working Capital, including a calculation of the Working Capital Deficit or the Working Capital Excess, as the case may be; (iv) a calculation of the Closing Cash; and (v) the Parent’s determination of the Final Cash Merger Consideration resulting therefrom. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have a period of 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Statement to review such documents and make any objections in writing to the Parent (the “Stockholders’ Representative Objection Notice”); provided that the Stockholders’ Representative Objection Notice shall specify the amount of each such objection along with a reasonable basis and supporting documentation to substantiate each such objection. Any items not specifically objected to in the Stockholders’ Representative Objection Notice will be deemed agreed upon as set forth in the Closing Statement. For purposes of the Stockholders’ Representative’s evaluation of the Closing Statement, the Parent shall, and shall cause the LLC Sub to make available or provide, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, reasonable access to such information, books and records and data as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative to analyze the Closing Statement. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Stockholders’ Representative Objection Notice to the Parent within such 30-day period, then the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute. If no Stockholders’ Representative Objection Notice is delivered by the Stockholders’ Representative within such 30-day period, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If disputes with respect to the Closing Statement cannot be resolved by the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative within 30 calendar days after timely delivery of a Stockholders’ Representative Objection Notice, then, at the request of the Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative, the specific items remaining in dispute (but no others) shall be submitted to such independent accounting or consulting firm as shall be mutually agreed to by the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent (the “Auditors”), which firm shall render its determination as to such specific items remaining in dispute. If the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative cannot agree on the selection of independent accounting or consulting firm, the Parties shall request the American Arbitration Association to appoint such independent accounting or consulting firm, and such appointment shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The matters to be resolved by the Auditors shall be limited to the unresolved items remaining in dispute between the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, and the Auditors shall make such determination based solely on written submissions by the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, and not by independent review. The Auditors shall promptly deliver to the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative a written report setting forth its resolution of the disputes and the reasonable basis for each of its determinations, along with its determination of the Final Cash Merger Consideration, which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. Prior to and until the delivery of the Auditors’ written report, there shall be no ex parte communications between the Parties and the Auditors. In resolving any disputed item, the Auditors (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.3(b) and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either the Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either the Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative. The fees and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Auditors that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Stockholders’

Representative, on the one hand, and the Parent, on the other hand, as finally determined by the Auditors, bears to the total dollar amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted. By way of example only, if closing accounts receivable is the only disputed item submitted to the Auditors, and the Stockholders’ Representative claims that closing accounts receivable is $1,000, and the Parent contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Stockholders’ Representative and if the Auditors ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Stockholders’ Representative $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Auditors will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 / 500) to the Parent and 40% (i.e., 200 / 500) to the Stockholders’ Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration as adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) shall be the “Final Cash Merger Consideration” for the purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If the Final Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration, then (i) within two Business Days following the final determination thereof, the Parent shall pay the amount of the excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Stockholders’ Representative for the account of and on behalf of the Stockholders, which amount shall be disbursed to the Stockholders in accordance with the Direction Letter; provided, that such disbursements to the Stockholders shall be (x) made only to each Stockholder that has delivered a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Parent, and all applicable Certificates for cancellation (or an affidavit of lost Certificate as contemplated by the Letter of Transmittal) with respect to all Company Shares held by such Stockholder; and (y) subject to Section 4.1(b); and (ii) the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release all of the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount (and all interest earned thereon) to the Stockholders’ Representative for the account of and on behalf of the Stockholders, which amount shall be disbursed to the Stockholders in accordance with the Direction Letter; provided, that such disbursements to the Stockholders shall be (x) made only to each Stockholder that has delivered a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Parent, and all applicable Certificates for cancellation (or an affidavit of lost Certificate as contemplated by the Letter of Transmittal) with respect to all Company Shares held by such Stockholder; and (y) subject to Section 4.1(b).

(d) If the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration is greater than the Final Cash Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Parent Merger Consideration Disbursement”) and the Parent Merger Consideration Disbursement (i) is less than the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release (A) an amount equal to the Parent Merger Consideration Disbursement from the Escrow Account to the Parent and (B) the remainder of the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount (and any interest thereon) to the Stockholders’ Representative for the benefit of the Stockholders, which remainder shall be disbursed to the Stockholders in accordance with the Direction Letter; provided, that such disbursements to the Stockholders shall be (x) made only to each Stockholder that has delivered a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Parent, and all applicable Certificates for cancellation (or an affidavit of lost Certificate as contemplated by the Letter of Transmittal) with respect to all Company Shares held by such Stockholder; and (y) subject to Section 4.1(b);

or (ii) (A) is equal to or (B) exceeds the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount (such excess, the “Parent Escrow Disbursement), the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release all of the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount (and any interest thereon) to the Parent, and in the case of clause (ii)(B), but subject to the Parent’s right set forth in the proviso below, the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Parent an amount equal to the Parent Escrow Disbursement (and any interest thereon) from the Escrow Account, provided, however, that the Parent (in its sole discretion) may instead require the Stockholders to pay the Parent Escrow Disbursement (in accordance with their respective percentages set forth on Section 4.3(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) in immediately available funds to the Parent, and the Parent shall have no obligation to cause the release of funds from the Escrow Account (other than the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount) in respect thereof.

(b) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions;

Following the Execution Date, the Company shall promptly notify the Parent of any new, changes to, or updates regarding Company Environmental Information that have not been previously provided to or made available to the Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be entitled to perform any subsurface, invasive or field or laboratory investigations or testing without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, but which consent may be conditioned upon the Parent’s execution of an access agreement substantially identical to the Access Agreement executed by Parent and the Company, dated July 24, 2017). To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Stockholders, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives and Affiliates shall (A) not be responsible or liable to the Parent for personal injuries or property damage sustained by the Parent’s counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other representatives in connection with the access provided pursuant to this Section 8.4 and (B) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Parent for any losses suffered by any such Persons in connection with any such personal injuries and property damage, EXCEPTING LOSSES ACTUALLY RESULTING ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE COMPANY OR THE STOCKHOLDERS.

8.5 Governmental Approvals.

(a) As soon as practicable following the Execution Date, but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Execution Date, the Parties shall make such filings as may be required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions. Thereafter, the Parties shall file as promptly as practicable all reports, documents, data or materials required or requested by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or the U.S. Department of Justice (each, an “Antitrust Authority”) pursuant to the HSR Act or otherwise, including requests for additional information concerning such Transactions, and shall take such actions as reasonably required (including

requesting early termination) so that the waiting period specified in the HSR Act will expire or be terminated as soon as reasonably possible after the Execution Date. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order preventing, restricting, restraining, enjoining, prohibiting or delaying the consummation of the Transactions and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) subject to applicable Laws, provide each other with advance copies and a reasonable opportunity to review, comment on and discuss in advance, and shall consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any submission or other proposed written communication to any Antitrust Authority and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to persuade any Antitrust Authority that no Remedial Action is necessary in connection with the Transactions.

(b) For purposes of this Section 8.5, a “Remedial Action” shall consist of any request or requirement of an Antitrust Authority to (i) pay any amounts (other than the payment of filing fees and expenses and fees of counsel), (ii) commence litigation, (iii) hold separate (including by trust or otherwise) or divest any businesses, product lines or assets of the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (iv) agree to anything referred to in clause (iii) or to any alteration of or limitation on the operation or conduct of the business of the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or (v) waive any of the conditions to this Agreement set forth in Article IX, in each case in order to obtain the expiration of the applicable waiting period or to avoid litigation.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parent or any Affiliate of the Parent, or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, shall be required to (i) take any Remedial Action or (ii) take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations in connection with Proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law.

(d) The Parent and the Company shall furnish, and shall cause their respective counsel to furnish, the other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions under the provisions of the HSR Act and in connection with any review or investigation of this Agreement or the Transactions by any Antitrust Authority. The Parent and the Company shall cause their respective counsel to supply to the other Party copies of all correspondence, filings or written communications between such Party or its Affiliates with any Antitrust Authority or staff members thereof, with respect to the Transactions and the other Transaction Documents, except for the pre-merger notification and report forms (and any attachments thereto) prepared and submitted pursuant to the HSR Act or written communications regarding the same, or documents or information submitted in response to any request for additional information or documents pursuant to the HSR Act which reveal any Party’s negotiating objectives, strategies or consideration expectations. The Parties may provide such communications in a manner that protects any legally applicable privilege. The Parent and the Company (i) will promptly notify each other of the content and status of any communication with any Antitrust Authority pertaining to this Agreement or the Transactions, and (ii) agree not

to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with, or enter into any agreements with, any such Antitrust Authority in respect of any filing, investigation, or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Transactions unless it consults with the other in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Antitrust Authority, gives the other the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. The Parent and the Company shall consult with each other prior to taking any material substantive position with respect to the filings under the HSR Act, in any written submission to, or, to the extent practicable, in any discussions with, any Antitrust Authority. Subject to the foregoing, the Parent shall be principally responsible for and in control of the process of dealing with any Antitrust Authority concerning the effect of applicable Antitrust Laws on the Transactions. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Antitrust Authority or by any Law, in connection with any Proceeding under or relating to the HSR Act, the Company will permit authorized Representatives of the Parent to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion, or proposal made or submitted to any Antitrust Authority in connection with any such Proceeding.

8.6 Expenses. Other than the costs and expenses relating to (a) the filing by each of the Parent and the Ultimate Parent Entity (as defined in the HSR Act) of the Company of their respective pre-merger notification and report forms relating to the Transactions under the HSR Act as set forth in Section 8.5 (including all filing fees applicable thereto), (b) the underwriting diligence fee, Premium Deposit, surplus lines taxes and the Premium Balance for the R&W Policy as set forth in Section 2.7, (c) the premium for the D&O Tail Policy, and (d) any Transfer Taxes, each of which shall be shared 50/50 by the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders), all costs and expenses incurred by the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries and the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) in connection with the Transaction Documents and the Transactions shall be included as Transaction Expenses hereunder, and all costs and expenses incurred by the Parent in connection with the Transaction Documents and the Transactions shall be paid by the Parent.

8.7 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Transactions.

8.8 Public Statements. The Parties shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press release, public announcement or other public disclosure with respect to the Transaction Documents or the Transactions and none of the Company, the Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates, on one hand, nor the Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall issue any press release or make any public announcement or disclosure regarding the Transaction Documents or the Transactions without the prior approval of the other Party; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, such other Party for purposes of this Section 8.8 is the (a) Parent, in the case of the Company, the Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates and (b) Stockholders’ Representative, in the case of the Parent or any of its Affiliates (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or

by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in which case the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public statement or disclosure shall first, to the extent practicable, consult with the other Party about, and allow the other Party reasonable time to comment in advance on, such press release, public announcement, or disclosure; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.8 shall (i) limit or restrict the Parent or any of its Affiliates from making any public statements or presentations in connection with industry conferences, investor meetings, analyst meetings, analyst or investor conference calls, or in response to questions from investors, analysts, press or other media and in each case, that does not involve the disclosure of competitively sensitive information; (ii) limit or prohibit any private equity fund associated with the Company from disclosing the financial terms and conditions, or any other terms and conditions, of this Agreement and the Transactions to its limited partners and Affiliates; or (iii) limit or prohibit any Party from making any press release, public announcement or other public disclosure concerning the Transaction Documents or Transactions following a disclosure that is otherwise permitted in accordance with this Section 8.8, except that any such disclosure under this clause (iii) shall not contain information that was not previously publicly disclosed pursuant to this Section 8.8.

8.9 Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.

(a) Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, each of the Stockholders hereby agrees that it will not, and that it will cause its Affiliates, stockholders, partners, managers, members, directors, officers, agents and representatives not to, at any time after the Execution Date, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Parent, disclose or use any confidential or proprietary information of, involving or relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”), other than in the performance of such Person’s duties as an employee or agent of, or otherwise on behalf of, the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that the information subject to the foregoing provision of this sentence will not include any information generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation hereof) or that was independently developed by such Stockholder or such Stockholder’s Affiliates, stockholders, partners, managers, members, directors, officers, agents and representatives without use or reference to Confidential Information or was in its rightful possession before the disclosure of the applicable Confidential Information to it; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 8.9 will not prohibit any retention of copies of records or disclosure (i) required by applicable Law so long as, to the extent practicable, reasonable prior notice is given to the Parent of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity is afforded to contest the same or (ii) reasonably necessary and made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement.

(b) As a material inducement for the Parent to enter into this Agreement, and in order to protect the Confidential Information and the goodwill that is conveyed by the Stockholders hereunder, each Stockholder agrees to the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.9. Subject to the limitations set forth in the last two sentences of this Section 8.9(b), each Stockholder agrees that, during the Restricted Period (and, for Xxxxxxx, for the period that begins

on the Closing Date and ends on the date that is five years after the Closing Date), such Stockholder shall not, and such Stockholder shall cause such Stockholder’s Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly: (i) within the Restricted Area, solicit, approach or entice away or cause to be solicited, approached or enticed away from the Parent or any of its Affiliates any Person who or which is a customer with respect to the Business conducted by (or that was conducted prior to the Closing Date by) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) engage or employ, or solicit or contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any Employee or any other Person who is an officer, director, employee or contractor of the Parent or any of its Affiliates and who performs services with respect to the Business conducted by (or that was conducted prior to the Closing Date by) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.9(b) shall not prevent (A) portfolio companies of White Deer Energy L.P., White Deer Energy X.X. XX, SCIP Limited Partnership OTH, L.P. or Sierra Nevada (Bermuda) L.P. (such named entities, collectively, the “White Deer and Silverfern Funds”), or any of the respective Affiliates of the White Deer and Silverfern Funds, from engaging in solicitation of customers or employees of the Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) in the ordinary course of business, so long as such solicitation was not directly or indirectly initiated or encouraged by any Stockholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the White Deer and Silverfern Funds); or (B) Xxxxxxx from (1) engaging in solicitation of customers of the Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) in connection with any business other than the Business, or (2) employing or otherwise engaging, in connection with any business other than the Business, any Employee or other Person who is an officer, employee or contractor of the Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), whom Xxxxxxx has not, directly or indirectly, initiated or encouraged the solicitation, employment or engagement of such Person or whose employment or engagement by Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company or its Subsidiaries) has terminated, so long as such termination was not directly or indirectly encouraged by Xxxxxxx. In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Xxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx III and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx may serve as shareholders, members, partners, officers, directors and/or managers of White Deer Energy L.P., White Deer Energy X.X. XX and/or their respective portfolio companies, and such Stockholders shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section 8.9(b) by virtue of such roles alone, so long as no such Stockholder directly or indirectly initiates or encourages the solicitation of any customers or employees of the Parent or its Affiliates.

(c) Xxxxxxx covenants and agrees that, until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Xxxxxxx shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Business within the Restricted Area or (ii) have a direct or indirect interest in any Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in the Business in the Restricted Area in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, advisor, trustee or consultant; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit Xxxxxxx from (A) engaging in the Business on behalf of Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) or (B) owning, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Xxxxxxx is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own five percent (5%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(d) Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, neither such Stockholder nor any of its representatives or agents, shall make any public statement, or cause any public statement to be made or attributed to such Stockholder or any of its representatives or agents, that disparages, calls into disrepute, defames or slanders the Parent, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of the foregoing entities’ respective successors, predecessors, officers, directors, managers, members, employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, businesses, products or services.

(e) Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the geographic scope, scope of activity restrictions, and duration of the covenants contained in this Section 8.9 are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (i) such Stockholder’s level of control over and contact with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, and association with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ goodwill in all jurisdictions in which the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct business; and (ii) the consideration that such Stockholder is receiving in connection with the Transactions, and the goodwill that such Stockholder is conveying and for which the Parent is paying. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Section 8.9 (and portions thereof) be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Stockholders acknowledge that this Section 8.9 is reasonable and enforceable in all respects; nonetheless, if any of the restrictions of this Section 8.9 (or portions thereof) are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, overly broad, or otherwise unenforceable, the Parties intend that such restrictions (and portions thereof) shall not be thereby terminated but shall be modified by such court so as to be valid and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced.

(f) Each Party further acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 8.9 would cause irreparable harm to the Parent for which it would have no adequate remedy at Law, that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to determine the Parent’s and its Affiliates’ damages in the event of a breach or threatened breach, and that the Parent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and specific performance as remedies for any such breach. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach or threatened breach of this Section 8.9 but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law and equity, including the recovery of damages.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will prevent any individual from: (i) lawfully initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Governmental Body regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to an individual from any Governmental Body; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any Governmental Body relating to a possible violation of law, including providing documents or other confidential information to Governmental Bodies; or (iv) receiving an award for information provided to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or another Governmental Body. No individual will be required to obtain prior authorization from the Parent or any of its Affiliates before engaging in any of the conduct described in the previous

sentence, or to notify the Parent or any of its Affiliates of having engaged in any such conduct. Further, (A) no individual shall be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; and (B) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided such filing is made under seal.

8.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date, the Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Employee compensation and employee benefits that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to either (i) the material compensation and employee benefits provided to such Employee by the Company on the date of this Agreement, or (ii) the material compensation and employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the Parent or its Affiliate that then employs such Employee during such period; provided, however, that the Parent shall have no obligation to provide equity grants to the Employees. As of the Closing Date, the Company shall have made or caused to be made any and all arrangements necessary to continue in full force and effect the payroll and health and welfare plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to allow continued participation of the Employees therein, until such time as the Employees commence participation in the health and welfare benefit plans of the Parent (the “Parent Benefit Plans”) and are transferred to the Parent’s payroll, in accordance with this Section 8.10(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an industry downturn or other economic circumstances negatively impact the Company and its Subsidiaries, the compensation and employee benefits provided under clause (i) or (ii) above may be reduced as part of a generally applicable reduction in salary or other compensation or benefits that applies in the same manner to other similarly situated employees of the Parent or its Subsidiaries or its Affiliate that then employs such Employee during such period.

(b) With respect to any Parent Benefit Plans in which any Employee will participate following the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to, or to cause any third party insurance carriers to, (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing condition exclusions, active employment requirements, requirements to show evidence of good health and waiting periods with respect to Employees and their spouses and dependents, if applicable, to the same extent waived under a similar or comparable Benefit Program in which such Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date and (ii) cause each Parent Benefit Plan to provide each Employee with credit for any co-payments or deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any deductible requirements or out of pocket limits under the Parent Benefit Plans for the plan year in which participation in such Parent Benefit Plan occurs.

(c) The Parent shall cause to be provided to each Employee credit for prior service with the Company or its Affiliates to the extent such service would be recognized if it had been performed as an employee of the Parent or its Affiliates for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting in each vacation, severance, retirement, welfare benefit and paid-time off plan or program of the Parent, if any, in which such Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing Date to the same extent as such Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under the corresponding Benefit Program, if any; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(d) The Company shall continue in full force and effect, until the Effective Time, (i) the fidelity bond, if any, issued to the Company as described in ERISA Section 412; and (ii) the ERISA fiduciary liability insurance policy currently in effect, if any, for the benefit of the covered fiduciaries of the O-Tex Pumping 401(k) Plan.

(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to: (i) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (ii) create any right to any compensation or benefits whatsoever on the part of any Employee or other future, present or former employee of the Company, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates, the Parent, or its Affiliates; (iii) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of the Parent to terminate any employee, independent contractor or Employee for any reason at any time; (iv) require the Parent to continue any Parent Benefit Plan or Benefit Program, or other employee compensation or benefit plans or arrangements, or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date; or (v) constitute an amendment to any Benefit Program, Parent Benefit Plan, or other employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement.

8.11 Non-Solicitation.

(a) Prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Stockholders and the Company shall not, and shall not permit their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, representatives or agents (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) discuss, encourage, negotiate, undertake, initiate, authorize, recommend, propose or enter into, either as the proposed surviving, merged, acquiring or acquired corporation, any business combination transaction, whether by way of merger, consolidation, business combination, purchase or disposition of any amount of the assets or equity interests of the Company or otherwise, other than the Transactions (an “Acquisition Transaction”), (ii) facilitate, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions, negotiations or submissions of written offers, inquiries, proposals or indications of interest (other than an offer, inquiry, proposal or indication of interest by the Parent) contemplating or relating to any Acquisition Transaction (each an “Acquisition Proposal”), (iii) furnish or cause to be furnished, to any Person, any information concerning the business, operations, properties or assets of the Company in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) approve, endorse, or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction or (vi) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

(b) Commencing on the Execution Date, each Stockholder shall, and shall cause the Company and their Affiliates and Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than the Parent) conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) notify the Parent orally and in writing promptly (but in no event later than one Business Day) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company by any Person other than the Parent (such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal, or intending to make an Acquisition Proposal or offer or requesting non-public information relating to the Company or access to the properties, books or records of the Company, the material terms of any Acquisition Proposal, or modification or amendment to such Acquisition Proposal and shall include copies of any written Acquisition Proposal or amendments or supplements thereto, and the Company shall keep the Parent informed, on a current basis, of any material changes in the status and any material changes or modifications in the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal), (iii) to the extent not previously requested, request the return or destruction of any confidential written or electronic materials provided to any Person in connection with a contemplated or potential Acquisition Proposal and (iv) and immediately prohibit any access by any Person (other than the Parent and its representatives) to any physical or electronic data room relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal.

(c) The Company agrees not to release or permit the release of any Person from, or to waive or permit the waiver of any provision of, any confidentiality, “standstill,” or similar agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, and will enforce or cause to be enforced each such agreement at the request of the Parent.

8.12 Charter Provisions Regarding Indemnification.

(a) The Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date now existing in favor of the current or former managers, directors, officers, members, employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Company (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) as provided as of the Execution Date in the Organizational Documents of the Company shall survive the Transactions and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six years from the Closing Date. The Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) not to, repeal such arrangements in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Company Indemnitees thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.12 in connection with (i) any matter as to which any Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article XI or (ii) any action, claim or dispute between or among the Stockholders or the holders of Company Options.

(b) In the event the Parent or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Parent or the Company or such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or such transferee, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 8.12.

(c) The obligations of the Parent under this Section 8.12 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnitee to whom this Section 8.12 applies without the consent of such Company Indemnitee so adversely affected.

8.13 D&O Tail Policy. Prior to or at the Closing, the Company or the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) will cause to be put in place, and shall fully prepay immediately prior to, and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time, an extended reporting period endorsement under their existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for their directors and officers, which will provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Closing Date of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company or the Stockholders (the “D&O Tail Policy”). An amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the premium for the D&O Policy shall be added to the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration.

8.14 Tax Matters.

(a) The Stockholders’ Representative will prepare or cause to be prepared each Tax Return of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period that is required to be filed after the Closing Date. Each such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. As provided in Section 8.14(h), the Parent shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries in the Parent’s U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return for the period beginning the day after the Closing Date, which will effectively require the Company and its Subsidiaries to file a separate U.S. federal income Tax Return for the short stub period from January 1, 2017 through the Closing Date. Reasonably in advance of the due date, including extensions, for filing any Tax Return under this Section 8.14(a) (other than Tax Returns relating to sales, use, payroll or other taxes that are required to be filed contemporaneously with, or promptly after, the close of a taxable period, in each case a copy of which shall be provided to the Parent by the Stockholders’ Representative upon the Parent’s written request), the Stockholders’ Representative will deliver a copy of each Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to the Parent for its review and reasonable comment. The Parent will provide any reasonable comments to the Stockholders’ Representative within 15 days after the receipt of such Tax Return. The Stockholders’ Representative shall incorporate or cause to be incorporated any such comments subject to the Stockholders’ Representative’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). The Stag Leap Representative shall provide

such final Tax Returns to Parent for execution and filing and Parent shall cause each such Tax Return to be filed timely and payment of Taxes to be timely paid with the appropriate Governmental Body and will provide a copy thereof to the Stockholders’ Representative. Not later than five days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes with respect to each Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period, the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay to (or at the direction of) the Parent the amount of any Company Taxes with respect to such Tax Return.

(b) The Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Straddle Periods. Each such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. Reasonably in advance of the due date, including extensions, for filing any such Tax Return (other than Tax Returns relating to sales, use, payroll or other taxes that are required to be filed contemporaneously with, or promptly after, the close of a taxable period, in each case a copy of which shall be provided to the Stockholders’ Representative by the Parent upon the Stockholders’ Representative’s written request), the Parent will deliver a copy of each Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to the Stockholders’ Representative for its review and reasonable comment. The Stockholders’ Representative will provide any reasonable comments to the Parent within 15 days after the receipt of such Tax Return. The Parent shall incorporate or cause to be incorporated any such comments subject to the Parent’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). The Parent shall cause each such Tax Return to be filed timely and payment of Taxes to be timely paid with the appropriate Governmental Body and will provide a copy thereof to the Parent. Not later than five days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes with respect to each Tax Return for a Straddle Period, the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay to (or at the direction of) the Parent the amount of any Company Taxes with respect to such Tax Return.

(c) For any U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. Tax purposes, Taxes that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period shall be allocated between the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date in the following manner. For allocations of income or deductions required to determine any income Taxes, sales and use Taxes, payroll Taxes or other transactional Taxes for a Straddle Period, such allocation shall be made by means of a closing of the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The amount of all Taxes other than income Taxes, sales and use Taxes, payroll Taxes or other transactional Taxes in respect of the Straddle Period shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date based on the number of days for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, on the one hand, and the number of days for the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, on the other hand. For purposes of this paragraph, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned on a daily basis. Any franchise Tax or other Tax providing the right to do business for a specified period shall be allocated to the taxable period during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another period is obtained by the payment of such Tax.

(d) The Stockholders, the Parent, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in contesting or defending against any audit, litigation or other claim for Taxes (each, a “Tax Proceeding”) imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of the Company or any Subsidiary relating to any Pre-Closing Taxable Period or any Straddle Period. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon the request of the Party or Parties preparing the Tax Return or controlling the Tax Proceeding, the provision to such Party or Parties of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder. All out-of-pocket expenses related to such cooperation shall be borne by the Party requesting such cooperation. Notwithstanding the above, the control and conduct of any Tax Proceeding that is a third-party Indemnification Claim shall be governed by Article XI. Any information obtained by a Party or its Affiliates from another Party or its Affiliates in connection with any Tax matters to which this Agreement applies shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding, or as may otherwise be necessary to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) Each of Parent and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Integrated Mergers, taken together, to qualify, and will not take or knowingly fail to take (and will cause its Subsidiaries not to take or knowingly fail to take and use its reasonable best efforts to prevent any other Affiliate of such Party from taking or knowingly failing to take) any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Integrated Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(f) Any refunds of Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any refund resulting from the carryback of a net operating loss or other Tax attribute from a period beginning after the Closing Date to a period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, which refund shall be for the account of the Parent) (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or offset actually realized against Taxes otherwise payable) (“Tax Refunds”) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Stockholders. Any Tax Refunds for any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Parent. Any Tax Refunds for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between the Stockholders and the Parent in accordance with the principles provided for in Section 8.14(c). To the extent that the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries receives a Tax Refund that is for the account of the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 8.14(f), the Parent shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of such Tax Refund (and any interest received from the Governmental Body), net any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Parent or its Affiliates in procuring such refund, to the Stockholders. To the extent that any Stockholder receives a Tax Refund that is for the account of the Parent pursuant to this Section 8.14(f), such Stockholder shall pay the amount of such Tax Refund (and any interest received from the Governmental Body), net any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or

expenses incurred by such Stockholder or its Affiliates in procuring such refund, to the Parent. The amount due to the Stockholders or the Parent, as applicable, under this Section 8.14(f) shall be paid to the Stockholders or the Parent, as applicable, within 30 days of the receipt of the Tax Refund from the applicable Governmental Body (or, if the Tax Refund is in the form of a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable, within 30 days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset).

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, any Tax deductions attributable to or arising from the Transaction Expenses, including payments in cancellation of Company Options, shall, with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, be deducted in the Pre-Closing Taxable Period or, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, no election shall be made under Sections 338 or 336(e) with respect to the acquisition of the Company Shares. Furthermore, neither the Parent nor its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) will make any other election after the Closing Date (including any elective entity classification election under Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3) with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries that would have effect prior to the Closing Date and that would materially increase the amount of Company Taxes. Notwithstanding the above, the Parent and its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) may make an election described in the previous sentence provided that any additional Taxes resulting therefrom will not be deemed to constitute Company Taxes. Consistent with Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-76, the Parent has agreed to and shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries in the Parent’s U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return for the period beginning the day after the Closing Date.

8.15 Interim Financial Statements.

(a) From the Execution Date to the Closing, the Company will make available to the Parent, within 25 days of the end of the applicable monthly accounting period for the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding Raptor), monthly unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income of the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding Raptor), on a consolidated basis, for each such monthly accounting period and, within 45 days after the end of the quarterly accounting period for any fiscal quarter of the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding Raptor) occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, quarterly unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income of the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding Raptor), on a consolidated basis, for such quarterly accounting periods. Such financial statements will fairly present in all material respects the financial position and operating results, equity and income of the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding Raptor) as of, and for the periods ended on, the respective dates thereof.

(b) Commencing on the Execution Date, the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their officers and employees, to use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to prepare (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its

Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017 and (ii) unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (collectively, the “Interim Financial Statements”), and to cause such Interim Financial Statements to be delivered to the Company as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the 40th calendar day following the Closing Date.

(c) From the Execution Date until the Closing, upon written request by the Parent, the Company shall request Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, after discussing specifications with the Parent, to (i) provide a review of the Interim Financial Statements in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards 100 (Interim Financial Information), (ii) provide its written consent for the use of its audit reports with respect to the Audited Financial Statements in any registration statement filed with the SEC under the Securities Act or current or periodic report filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (an “SEC Filing”), in each case to the extent the foregoing are to be filed with the SEC by the Parent, its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) conduct such other procedures as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx to provide the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their officers and employees to, reasonably cooperate with Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx in the completion of a review and the Interim Financial Statements, including, if requested by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the execution and delivery to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx of representation letters, in form and substance customary for representation letters provided to external audit firms by management of the company whose financial statements are the subject of a review pursuant to Statement of Auditing Standards 100 (Interim Financial Information), as may be reasonably requested by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, with respect to the Interim Financial Statements. To the extent required by the Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their officers and employees to, provide such reasonable further cooperation, including by providing such additional management letters of representation, as may be reasonably requested by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, in order for Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx to provide any further written consents to the inclusion or incorporation by reference of the Audited Financial Statements in any future SEC Filings of Parent, its Affiliates, or their respective successors and assigns or provide auditor comfort letters to underwriters and initial purchasers customarily furnished in connection with the offering of any equity or debt securities by Parent, its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

(d) All reasonable and documented costs and expenses of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and any other third parties (including, without limitation, Penlight Consulting, LLC, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Tax Group Partners) incurred in connection with clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 8.15 shall be borne by Parent.

8.16 Registration Statement.

(a) Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file a resale registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act with the SEC registering the resale of the Specified Parent Common Stock (the “Resale Shelf”) within 30 days of the Closing Date, (ii) have the Resale Shelf declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing and (iii) maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf for a period of three years following the date such Resale Shelf was declared effective by the SEC (the “Required Effective Period”).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.16(a):

(i) The Parent shall not be required to file the Resale Shelf (or any amendment thereto) or, if the Resale Shelf has been filed but not declared effective by the SEC, request effectiveness of such Resale Shelf, or, if such Resale Shelf has been declared effective by the SEC, may suspend the use of any prospectus that is part of the Resale Shelf, for up to 90 calendar days from the date of the Suspension Notice (as defined below), by providing written notice to the Holders if the Parent shall have furnished to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer (or other authorized officer) of the Parent stating that the Parent’s Board of Directors has determined in its reasonable good faith judgment that the filing of the Resale Shelf (or any amendment thereto) or the request for effectiveness of such Resale Shelf should be delayed or the offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf should be suspended (as applicable); provided that the Parent may not invoke a delay or suspension pursuant to this Section 8.16(b)(i) for more than 90 calendar days in the aggregate in any 12 month period. The Parent may invoke this Section 8.16(b)(i) only if the Parent’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its advisors or legal counsel, that the filing of the Resale Shelf (or any amendment thereto), the request for effectiveness of such Resale Shelf or offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf (as applicable) would reasonably be expected to: (i) have a Material Adverse Effect on any proposal or plan by the Parent or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving the Parent or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) require premature disclosure of material non-public information (“MNPI”) that the Parent has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; provided that a Suspension Event (as defined below) shall automatically expire upon the public disclosure of the information to which the MNPI relates.

(ii) In the case of an event that causes the Parent to delay the filing or effectiveness of the Resale Shelf, or suspend the use of any prospectus that is part of the Resale Shelf, as set forth in Section 8.16(b)(i) (a “Suspension Event”), the Parent shall give a notice to the Holders (a “Suspension Notice”) of such delay or suspension and such notice shall state that such delay or suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. The Parent shall not include any MNPI in the Suspension Notice or otherwise provide such information to Holders unless specifically requested in writing. No Holder shall sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Parent and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Holders may recommence sales pursuant to the Resale Shelf following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Parent, and such End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Parent to the Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Parent gives a Suspension Notice with respect to the Resale Shelf, the Parent agrees that it shall:

(A) extend the Required Effective Period, which such Resale Shelf shall be maintained effective pursuant to Section 8.16(a) by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the selling Holders named in the Resale Shelf of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the selling Holders of the End of Suspension Notice;

(B) as promptly as practicable after selling Holders’ receipt of an End of Suspension Notice, prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the registration statement or the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(C) provide copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event;

provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

(i) “Holder” means any party that beneficially owns Registrable Securities.

(ii) “Registrable Securities” means at any time Specified Parent Common Stock held or beneficially owned by any Holder; provided, however, that as to any Registrable Securities, such securities shall irrevocably cease to constitute Registrable Securities upon the earliest to occur of:

(A) the date on which such securities have been disposed of pursuant to the Resale Shelf;

(B) the date on which such securities have been disposed of pursuant to Rule 144;

(D) the end of the Required Effective Period, as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 8.16(b)(iii).

8.17 Listing. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the listing (subject to official notice of issuance) of the Specified Parent Common Stock on the NYSE.

8.18 Stockholder Waiver of Notice. All Stockholders who hold Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock (as such terms are defined in the Restated Certificate of Formation with New Amendments of the Company, which was filed with the Texas Secretary of State on June 2, 2016 (the “Restated Certificate”)) hereby waive, with respect to the Transactions, (a) their right under Section 4(d) of the Restated Certificate to receive (i) written notice of any Liquidation (as such term is defined in the Restated Certificate) in accordance with the notice provisions in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement of the Company, dated effective as of September 7, 2012, and (ii) a certificate prepared by an officer of the Company describing the facts of such Liquidation and the aggregate Series A Liquidation Value or Series B Liquidation Value (as such terms are defined in the Restated Certificate), as applicable, in each case at least 10 days prior to such Liquidation, and (b) any similar or other notice rights, if any, set forth in the TBOC or the DGCL.

TERMINATION RIGHTS

(a) By mutual written consent of the Parent and the Company;

(c) By either the Parent or the Company in the event that the Closing has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2017 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has not terminated or expired prior to such date because an Antitrust Authority has made a request for additional information or documentary material relevant to the Transactions after the initial filing, the Termination Date shall be

automatically extended until February 28, 2018; provided, further, however, that (i) the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) if such failure of the Closing to occur is due to the failure of the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative or any Stockholder to perform and comply in all material respects with the covenants and agreements to be performed or complied with by the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative or such Stockholder, as applicable, and (ii) the Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) if such failure of the Closing to occur is due to the failure of the Parent to perform and comply in all material respects with the covenants and agreements to be performed or complied with by the Parent; or

(d) By either the Parent or the Company if there shall have been a breach or inaccuracy of the other Party’s representations and warranties in this Agreement or a failure to perform its covenants and agreements in this Agreement (which, in the case of the right of termination (i) by the Company, shall also include any breach by Merger Sub and (ii) by the Parent, shall also include any breach by the Stockholders’ Representative or any Stockholder), in any such case in a manner that would result in, if occurring and continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 9.2(a), 9.2(c) or 9.3(a), as applicable, unless such failure is reasonably capable of being cured by the Termination Date, in which case, so long as the breaching Party is using commercially reasonable efforts to cure such failure, the breaching Party shall have 30 days (but in no event beyond the Termination Date) after receipt of notice from the terminating party of its intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) to cure such failure before the terminating Party may so terminate this Agreement; provided, however, no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) if (i) any of such Party’s representations and warranties shall have become and continue to be untrue in a manner that would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(c) (with respect to a termination by the Company) or Section 9.3(a), as applicable, not to be satisfied or (ii) there has been, and continues to be, a failure by such Party to perform its covenants and agreements in such a manner as would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.3(b), as applicable, not to be satisfied.

Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties to this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any of the Indemnified Parties be permitted to make any Claim under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 unless such Claim is first made on or prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that such 18-month survival period shall not apply to (A) any Claim under Section 11.1(a)(i) or Section 11.2(a) relating to the breach of any representation or warranty contained in the Company Fundamental Representations or the Parent Fundamental Representations, (B) any Claim under Section 11.1(a)(i) relating to the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.13, (C) any Claim under Section 11.1(a)(ii), (D) any Claim under Section 11.1(a)(iii), (E) any Claim under Section 11.1(b)(i), (F) any Claim

under Section 11.1(b)(ii) or (G) any Claim under 11.2(b). Any such Claims described in (w) subsections (A) or (D) in the sentence above shall be asserted on or before the date which is 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (x) subsection (B) and (E) in the sentence above shall be asserted on or before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (y) subsections (C), (F) and (G) in the sentence above shall be governed by Section 11.3(d)(ii) (the date, if any, on which a Claim contained herein so expires, the “Expiration Date”).

(ii) Any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (whether in respect of pre-Closing or post-Closing period), including under Section 11.1(a)(ii) or 11.1(b)(ii) and under Section 11.2(b), shall survive until fully discharged in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) No indemnifying Party shall have any liability for indemnification claims made under this Article XI with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty unless a Claim Notice in respect of such claim is timely given in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date. If a Claim Notice has been timely given in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive as to such Indemnification Claim until such Indemnification Claim has been finally resolved.

(e) Calculation of Losses. In calculating amounts payable to any Stockholder Indemnitee or Parent Indemnitee (each such person, an “Indemnified Party”) for a claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made and shall be computed net of (i) payments actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy (other than the R&W Policy) with respect to such Losses (provided, however, that (A) the amount of any such payments shall be adjusted to account for the cost incurred by an Indemnified Party for increased insurance premiums (other than in connection with the R&W Policy) and (B) nothing contained herein or otherwise shall create any obligation on the part of any Indemnified Party to pursue any insurance recovery with respect to any Losses other than under the R&W Policy; (ii) any prior or subsequent actual recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses (provided, however, that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall create any obligation on the part of any Indemnified Party to pursue any such recovery with respect to any Losses other than under the R&W Policy); and (iii) the amount of any net Tax benefit, which shall be measured by actual cash Tax savings, that is attributable to any deduction or loss resulting from or arising out of the relevant Loss and that is actually realized by the Indemnified Party during or prior to the taxable year in which the Indemnified Party receives the relevant indemnification payment. In addition, each Indemnified Party shall make commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate any Losses that an Indemnified Party asserts under this Article X within a reasonable period of time following the discovery by such Indemnified Party of the fact, event or circumstances giving rise to such Losses (and, for an indemnified Person that is not a natural person, the bringing to the attention of a responsible officer thereof of such fact, event or circumstance). In the event that an Indemnified Party shall

fail to make such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any such Losses, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for such portion of any Loss that could reasonably have been avoided if the Indemnified Party had made such efforts.

(f) Recovery. In the event that any Losses are suffered by any one or more Indemnified Parties for which any such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article XI and any such Indemnified Party is indemnified by an indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, then such Losses shall be deemed to have been fully satisfied and shall no longer exist and, therefore, any further recovery by such Indemnified Party or any other indemnified Party from any indemnifying Party for such same Losses would constitute an unintended “double” recovery and shall be prohibited under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.3(f) is intended solely to preclude “double”‘ recovery for such same Losses, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude recovery for different Losses caused or deemed to be caused by the same event or similar Losses incurred by multiple Indemnitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Indemnitees shall not be required to pay over to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the benefit of the Stockholders) any amounts recovered pursuant to the R&W Policy, unless such amounts are duplicative of amounts paid by the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) with respect to any Indemnification Claims by the Parent or Merger Sub under Section 11.1(a)(i).

(g) Sole and Exclusive Remedy; Escrow.

(i) From and after the Closing, the remedies provided in this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive legal remedies of the Parties with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and any of their respective current or former businesses, operations, facilities or properties, except in the case of Fraud and except for claims by the Parent Indemnitees for recovery under the R&W Policy.

(ii) Any indemnity amounts payable to a Parent Indemnitee in accordance with this Article XI shall be paid, if and to the extent there are any funds remaining in the Escrow Account, first from the Indemnification Escrow Amount (and any interest thereon) in the Escrow Account by delivery of joint written instructions from the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent to the Escrow Agent to pay to such Parent Indemnitee an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Indemnification Escrow Amount (and any interest thereon) remaining in the Escrow Account (without taking into account such release) and (B) the amount of such Indemnification Claim submitted by the Parent Indemnitees in accordance with this Article XI. Any amounts payable to a Parent Indemnitee in accordance with this Article XI in excess of the Indemnification Escrow Amount (and any interest thereon) remaining in the Escrow Account (without taking into account such release) or following the date when there are no funds remaining in the Escrow Account shall, at the election of the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders), be satisfied in cash or Specified Parent Common Stock, which shall have a market value measured as of the market close on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of final and conclusive settlement of the applicable Indemnification Claim.

(iii) On the First Escrow Release Date, the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall prepare and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release one-half of the Indemnification Escrow Amount (and any interest thereon), remaining in the Escrow Account held by the Escrow Agent less the aggregated amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved good faith claims for indemnification made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the benefit of the Stockholders).

(iv) On the Second Escrow Release Date, the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall prepare and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release all of the remaining Indemnification Escrow Amount (and any interest thereon), if any, held in the Escrow Account held by the Escrow Agent less the aggregated amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved good faith claims for indemnification made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to the Stockholders’ Representative (for the benefit of the Stockholders).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that recovery for Indemnification Claims by the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) shall be subject to the following requirements:

(i) Until the Second Escrow Release Date and while funds remain in the Escrow Account, the Parent Indemnitees shall first seek recovery from the Escrow Account for Indemnification Claims pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i). After the Second Escrow Release Date, or at the point when no funds remain in the Escrow Account, the Stockholders shall not have any liability for any Losses arising pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), other than in the case of Fraud and except with respect to any breach relating to a Company Fundamental Representation.

(ii) With respect to any breach relating to any representation or warranty contained in the Company Fundamental Representations or any representation or warranty contained in the first two sentences of Section 5.9(b), at the point (A) when no funds remain in the Escrow Account and (B) no recovery is allowed under the R&W Policy, the Parent Indemnitees may seek recovery from the Stockholders subject, in each case, to the applicable limitations contained in this Article XI; provided, however, that after the point when no funds remain in the Escrow Account and prior to seeking recovery under the R&W Policy with respect to any such breaches, the Parent Indemnitees may seek recovery directly from the Stockholders in an amount up to, but not exceeding, $1,325,000 in the aggregate (which together with the Indemnification Escrow Amount is equal to the required retention amount under the R&W Policy).

11.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Each Indemnitee agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI or circumstances which, with the lapse of time, such Indemnitee reasonably believes is likely to give rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, such Indemnitee must assert its claim

for indemnification under this Article XI (each, an “Indemnification Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying Party allegedly required to provide indemnification protection under this Article XI specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis for such Indemnification Claim or potential Indemnification Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty, covenant or agreement alleged to have been breached). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee’s failure to send or delay in sending a Claim Notice will not relieve the indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Indemnification Claim, except to the extent the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay and except as is otherwise provided herein, including in Section 11.3(d).

(b) In the event of the assertion of any third party Indemnification Claim for which, by the terms hereof, an indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee, the indemnifying Party will have the right, at such indemnifying Party’s expense, to assume the defense of same (so long as prior to assuming the defense of same, such indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party in writing) including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnitee so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, to the extent that the object of such third party Indemnification Claim is to obtain an injunction, restraining order, declaratory relief or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnitee which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnitee, (ii) if the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitees and the indemnifying Party and the former shall have been advised in writing by counsel (with a copy to the indemnifying Party) that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to them that are different from or additional to those available to indemnifying Party, (iii) if the indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend the claim and provide indemnification with respect to such claim, (iv) if the Indemnitee demonstrates there is a reasonable probability that the claim would adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (including potentially establishing a precedent or custom adverse to the Indemnitee, whether or not monetary damages are also asserted in connection with such claim) the indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of same, but rather Indemnitee shall control the defense (although the indemnifying Party will have reasonable information and consultation rights in connection therewith and the Indemnitee not shall settle such Indemnification Claim without the other indemnifying Party’s prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such third party Indemnification Claim, it shall within 30 days notify the Indemnitee in writing of its intent to do so. The indemnifying Party will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remediation action with respect to any such Indemnification Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such third-party Indemnification Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Indemnification Claim, or if the indemnifying Party

does not assume the defense of any such Indemnification Claim, the Indemnitee may assume control of such defense and in the event it is finally determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article XII that the Indemnification Claim was a matter for which the indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article XI, the indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). The Party in charge of the defense shall keep the other party reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If any Indemnitee desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement it may do so at its sole cost and expense.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnifying Party will not be permitted to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree, in each case, (i) that does not unconditionally release the Indemnitees from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Indemnification Claim, (ii) that imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against Indemnitee, or (iii) under which the Indemnitee would be required to pay any portion of any monetary damages arising as a result of the claim, in each case without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

(d) Any indemnity payments made under this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Cash Merger Consideration unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

11.5 Materiality. For purposes of this Article XI, any failure of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement to be true and correct and any Losses arising out of or resulting from such failure shall be determined without giving effect to any qualifications regarding materiality, the use of the word “material” in the definitions of “Company Material Adverse Effect,” “Parent Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifications contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

11.6 No Reliance; Waiver of Certain Damages.

(a) THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY CONTAINED IN ARTICLE V AND IN ANY CERTIFICATION OF A RESPONSIBLE OFFICER OF THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.2(d) CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY TO THE PARENT AND MERGER SUB IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE VII CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS TO THE PARENT AND MERGER SUB IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE REPRESENTATIONS OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB CONTAINED IN ARTICLE VI AND IN ANY CERTIFICATION OF A RESPONSIBLE OFFICER OF PARENT OR MERGER SUB PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.3(C) CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB TO THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, NO PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER MADE BY SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF, OR ANY PERSON’S RELIANCE ON, ANY INFORMATION, DISCLOSURE OR OTHER DOCUMENT OR OTHER MATERIAL MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PARENT OR TO THE COMPANY IN ANY DATA ROOM, ELECTRONIC DATA ROOM, MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION OR IN ANY OTHER FORM IN EXPECTATION OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT). EXCEPT FOR SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, PROJECTION, FORECAST, STATEMENT, OR INFORMATION MADE, COMMUNICATED, OR FURNISHED (ORALLY OR IN WRITING) TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING OPINIONS, INFORMATION, PROJECTIONS, OR ADVICE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE PROVIDED TO ANY PARTY OR ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES).

(b) No Party nor any Affiliate of a Party shall assert or threaten, and each Party hereby waives and shall cause such Affiliates to waive, any claim or other method of recovery, in contract, in tort or under applicable Law, against any Person that is not a Party (or a successor to a Party) relating to the Transactions.

(c) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE FOR (I) PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR (II) INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL DAMAGES, DAMAGE TO REPUTATION OR LOSS OF GOODWILL (CLAUSES (I) AND (II) COLLECTIVELY, “EXCLUDED DAMAGES”), WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 11.6(c) SHALL NOT LIMIT A PARTY’S RIGHT TO RECOVERY UNDER THIS ARTICLE XI FOR ANY EXCLUDED DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT SUCH PARTY IS REQUIRED TO PAY SUCH DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A MATTER FOR WHICH SUCH PARTY WOULD OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE XI.

ARTICLE XII

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

12.1 Sole and Exclusive Method for Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Article XII, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such disputes.

12.2 Negotiation Between Executives. The Parties involved in the dispute shall attempt to resolve the dispute between them promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a comparable or higher level of management than the persons who have been involved in the negotiation of this Agreement. Any Party may give the other Parties written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business; provided, however, that the requirements under this Section 12.2 shall fall away if there has been no resolution within 60 days after the delivery of the initial notice. Within seven days after delivery of such notice, the receiving Party or Parties shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and response shall include (a) a statement of that Party’s position and a summary of the arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within 15 days after delivery of the initial notice, the executives of the Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter continue to meet as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to use their good faith and reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute. All negotiations pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and any documents or information exchanged pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be returned immediately following the earlier of the conclusion of negotiations or the institution of litigation.

12.3 Consent to Jurisdiction. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Texas in Xxxxxx County or the federal courts located in the Southern District of the State of Texas, for the purposes of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions (and each agrees that no such Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought by it except in such courts). The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive (and agree not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions in the courts of Texas in Xxxxxx County or the federal courts located in the Southern District of the State of Texas or that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and agree that service of process upon such Party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 13.3 of this Agreement. Each of the Parties also agrees that any final and non-appealable judgment against a Party in connection with any Proceeding shall be conclusive and binding on such Party and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment.

12.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR TO DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

12.5 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or were threatened to be not performed, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages, each of the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in the jurisdiction provided in Section 12.3 and all such rights and remedies at law or in equity may be cumulative, except as may be limited by Article XI and the following sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Parent’s obligation to consummate the Transactions only in the event that (a) all conditions in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 (other than those not satisfied primarily due to the Parent’s failure to have performed its obligations under this Agreement) have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived (or, with respect to certificates to be delivered at the Closing, are capable of being satisfied upon the Closing) at the time when the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.2; and (b) the Stockholders’ Representative has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted, then the Closing pursuant to Article II will occur. The Parties further agree that no Party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 12.5 and each Party waives any objection that there is an adequate remedy at law or that the award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason of law or equity or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

ARTICLE XIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time prior to the Closing only by written agreement of the Parties hereto.

13.2 Waiver of Compliance; Consents. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (b) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

13.3 Notices. Any notice, demand or communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered personally, by reputable overnight delivery service or other courier or by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) as of the date of delivery

if delivered personally or by overnight delivery service or other courier; (b) on the date receipt is acknowledged if delivered by certified mail, addressed as follows; or (c) as of the date of facsimile transmission if sent by facsimile transmission; provided that a notice of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof:

13.4 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that the Parent may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than its obligation to issue the Specified Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement) without the prior written consent of the other Parties to any Subsidiary (including the Surviving Corporation or LLC Sub from and after the Closing). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Parent and, from and after the Closing, the Surviving

Corporation or LLC Sub may assign any of their respective rights under the Transaction Documents by way of security to any banks or holders of debt securities or financial institutions or hedge counterparties or any other Person lending money, providing credit or otherwise providing financing to any of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation, LLC Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, including in connection with any and all subsequent re-financings. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be null, void and ineffective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no assignment pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall release the assigning Party of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

13.5 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of (a) the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, (b) the Parent Indemnitees (solely with respect to such Persons’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Article XI) (c) the Stockholder Indemnitees (solely with respect to rights to indemnification pursuant to Article XI), (d) the Company Indemnitees (solely with respect to rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.12) and (e) the Stockholders (solely with respect to Article IV, Article XI, this Article XIII and Article XIV). Except as provided by the foregoing sentence, (i) none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party, including any creditor of any Party or any of their Affiliates, and (ii) no such third party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reasons of any such provision make any claim in respect of any liability (or otherwise) against any other Party.

13.6 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS OR PRINCIPLES THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

13.7 Entire Agreement. Except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive the execution of this Agreement, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the Parties or between any of them with respect to such subject matter.

13.8 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law in any jurisdiction, (a) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction; and (b) the Parties shall promptly amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any such provision contained herein that is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law to the intent of the Parties.

13.9 Representation by Counsel. Each of the Parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and that it has executed the same upon the advice of such independent counsel. Each Party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto shall be deemed the work product of the Parties and may not be construed against any Party by reason of its preparation. Therefore, the Parties waive the application of any Law providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

13.10 Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The Company Disclosure Schedule is arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent from such item, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Company Disclosure Schedule with respect to such other representations or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto.

(b) The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Company Disclosure Schedule that such information is required to be listed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or that such items are material to the Company. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement.

(c) The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or otherwise in this Agreement or in the Company Disclosure is not intended and shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment of the materiality of such amounts or items, nor shall the same be used in any dispute or controversy between the Parties to determine whether any obligation, item or matter (whether or not described herein or included in any schedule) is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

13.11 PDF; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by PDF signatures by any Party and such signature shall be deemed binding for all purposes hereof, without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

ARTICLE XIV

THE STOCKHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

14.1 Authorization of the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative hereby is appointed, authorized and empowered to act as the agent of the Stockholders in connection with, and to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions and the other Transaction Documents, and in connection with the activities to be performed on behalf of the Stockholders under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, for the purposes and with the powers and authority hereinafter set forth in this Section 14.1 and in the Escrow Agreement, which shall include the full power and authority:
