(ii)  The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”).  If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers' Accounts in the Ownership Percentages an aggregate amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment but in any event the total increase in the Purchase Price pursuant to the Closing Adjustment and the Post-Closing Adjustment shall not exceed in the aggregate $200,000.  If

11

the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment without any limit.

(c) Examination and Review.

(i) Examination.  After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Seller Representative shall have 30 days (the “Working Capital Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement.  During the Working Capital Review Period, the Seller Representative and Sellers’ Accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer's Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer's possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as the Seller Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(ii) Objection.  On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth the Seller Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”).  If the Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Working Capital Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers.  If the Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Working Capital Review Period, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and the Seller Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes.  If the Seller Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or, if Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP is unable to serve, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller's Accountants or Buyer's Accountants (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement.  The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality.  The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values

12

assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants.  The Sellers shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of Buyer (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants' determination and the Seller Representative’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants (that being the sum total of (A) the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and the Buyer’s determination and (B) the numerator.  If the Sellers fail to pay their share of the fees and expenses within 30 days of the date that the Independent Accountants issue their determination, then the Buyers shall be permitted to set off the Sellers’ share of the fees against any amounts due the Sellers or Remaining Sellers under the terms of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountants.  The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) within five Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above.  Subject to payment of the fee of the Independent Accountants in accordance with subsection (iv) above, if the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, then the Seller Representative and Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay such Post-Closing Adjustment to Buyer out of the Working Capital Escrow Deposit and to pay the balance, if any, of the Working Capital Escrow Deposit to the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers; provided, that, to the extent the Post-Closing Adjustment is negative and exceeds the Working Capital Escrow Deposit, then the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Buyer for the payment of such excess.  Subject to payment of the fee of the Independent Accountants in accordance with subsection (iv) above, if the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Buyer shall pay an aggregate amount equal to such positive Post-Closing Adjustment to the Sellers' Accounts in the Ownership Percentages, and the Seller Representative and Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay the entirety of the Working Capital Escrow Deposit to the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers.  All payments shall be made by by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) Adjustments for Tax Purposes.  Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.05 Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the

13

“Closing”) to be held at 8:00 a.m., Tulsa, Oklahoma time, no earlier than February 28, 2014 and no later than two Business Days after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), at the offices of Hall, Estill, Hardwick, Gable, Golden & Xxxxxx, P.C., Tulsa, Oklahoma, or at such other time or on such other date or at such other place as the Seller Representative and Buyer may mutually agree upon in writing (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”).

Section 2.06 Withholding Tax.  Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer and the Company may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law.  All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

Section 2.07 Loan Repayment.  Two Business Days before the Closing Date, the Seller Representative shall provide Buyer with a letter from Company’s lender(s) setting forth the amount which must be paid in order to pay off the Company’s indebtedness to the lender(s) in full (the “Debt Payoff Amount”).  The Initial Purchase Price shall be reduced to the extent the Debt Payoff Amount exceeds $1,100,000.  Immediately after the Closing, Buyer shall on behalf of the Company deliver to the Company’s lender(s) in immediately available funds the Debt Payoff Amount in exchange for a release by such lender(s) of the Company’s indebtedness and of all Encumbrances securing the same.

Section 2.08 Deferred Payments.  The Sellers shall earn additional consideration for the Shares on the terms set forth below:

(a) Fixed Deferred Payment.  Subject to Section 2.08(f), the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers' Accounts in accordance with the Ownership Percentages an aggregate of One Million Dollars on each of the first three anniversary dates of the Closing for a total aggregate payment of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the "Fixed Deferred Payment").  If the Buyer sells all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company to a buyer who is not an Affiliate of the Buyer, then the Fixed Deferred Payment shall become immediately due and owing and shall be paid out of the proceeds of any such sale of stock or assets of the Company.

(b) EBITDA Earn-out.  Buyer shall pay to each Remaining Seller who is employed by the Buyer or its Affiliate (including the Company) on the last day of a Calculation Period, such payment to be equally divided among the Remaining Sellers  as set forth on Section 2.08(b) of the Disclosure Schedule of an aggregate amount, if any (each, an “Earn-out Payment”), equal to seventy percent of the amount by which the EBITDA for such Calculation Period exceeds the EBITDA Threshold.  Any Remaining Seller who is not employed by the Buyer of its Affiliate (including the Company) by reason of death, Disability, voluntary resignation or termination of employment for Cause on the last day of a Calculation Period shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Earn-Out Payment related to such Calculation Period and the amount of the Earn-Out Payment that would be otherwise payable to such Remaining Seller shall be retained by the Buyer and shall not be paid or payable to any of the Remaining Sellers.  If the EBITDA for a particular Calculation Period does not exceed the EBITDA Threshold, no Earn-Out Payment shall be due for such Calculation Period.

14

(c) Procedures Applicable to Determination of the Earn-out Payments.

(i) On or before the date which is 60 days after the last day of each Calculation Period (each such date, an “Earn-out Calculation Delivery Date”), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Remaining Sellers a written statement (in each case, an “Earn-out Calculation Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of EBITDA for the applicable Calculation Period and its calculation of the resulting Earn-out Payment (in each case, an “Earn-out Calculation”).

(ii) The Seller Representative shall have 30 days after receipt of the Earn-out Calculation Statement for each Calculation Period (in each case, the “Earn-Out Review Period”) to review the Earn-out Calculation Statement and the Earn-out Calculation set forth therein.  During the Earn-Out Review Period, the Seller Representative and the Sellers’ Accountants shall have the right to inspect the Company’s books and records during normal business hours at the Company's offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determinations of EBITDA and the resulting Earn-out Payments.  Prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Earn-out Calculation set forth in the Earn-out Calculation Statement for the applicable Calculation Period by delivering a written notice of objection (an “Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice”) to Buyer.  Any Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the applicable Earn-out Calculation disputed by the Seller Representative and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute.  If the Seller Representative fails to deliver an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, then the Earn-out Calculation set forth in the Earn-out Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  If the Seller Representative timely delivers an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the EBITDA and the Earn-out Payment for the applicable Calculation Period.  If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after such an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Independent Accountants.  The Independent Accountants shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Earn-out Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event greater than 60 days after such submission to the Independent Accountants, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice.  If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountants, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall each furnish to the Independent Accountants such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountants may reasonably request.  The Independent Accountants shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Buyer and the Seller Representative, and not by independent review.  The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of EBITDA that is the subject of the applicable Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accountants shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne by Sellers and Buyer using the same methodology as set forth in Section 2.04(c)(iv).

15

(d) No Security.  The parties hereto understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive any Earn-out Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable, except by operation of Laws relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Buyer or the Company, (ii) Remaining Sellers shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Buyer or the Company as a result of a Remaining Seller’s contingent right to receive any Earn-out Payment hereunder, and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to any Earn-out Payment.

(e) Timing of Payment of Earn-out Payments.  Subject to Section 2.08(f), any Earn-out Payment that Buyer is required to pay pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or (c) hereof shall be paid in full no later than 30 days following the date upon which the determination of EBITDA for the applicable Calculation Period becomes final and binding upon the parties as provided in Section 2.08(c) (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by Seller in an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice).  All Deferred Payments shall be made in immediately available funds to the Sellers' Accounts of the Sellers entitled to such payments.

(f) Right of Set-off.  In the event the Sellers, or any combination of Sellers, fails within 30 days to pay any amounts due Buyer under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, then Buyer shall have the right to withhold and/or set off against any Deferred Payment any amounts owed to Buyer or a Buyer Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.  Buyer’s obligation to pay any Deferred Payment shall be suspended and deferred up to the disputed amount during the pendency of any such 30-day payment period granted to Sellers which commenced on or prior to the due date of such Deferred Payment.

(g) Post-Closing Operation of the Company.

(i) Subject to subsection (ii) below, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Company and its business, including, but not limited to, the capitalization, funding and structuring of the Company and its business.  Buyer shall have no obligation to operate the Company in order to achieve any Earn-out Payment or to maximize the amount of any Earn-out Payment.

(ii) The Buyer covenants that, during the Earn-out Period, it shall maintain the ability to account separately for the results of operations of the Company in a manner that will permit the Buyer to determine the EBITDA of the Company, regardless of whether the Buyer elects to cause the Company to maintain its separate corporate existence or to be merged with another entity or to transfer the assets of the Company to another entity and the Buyer covenants that it shall not take any actions in bad faith for the purpose and with the intent of avoiding or reducing any of the Earn-Out Payments hereunder.

Section 2.09 Escrow.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit the Working Capital Escrow Deposit with the Escrow Agent to be held, invested, safeguarded and released pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

16

(b) The Escrow Agreement will provide that disbursements of the Escrow Funds and of the Working Capital Escrow Deposit shall only be made in accordance with written instructions jointly signed by Buyer and the Seller Representative or pursuant to a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The Seller Representative and Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within three Business Days of a request) execute a joint instruction letter (which letter shall be in a form that complies with the requirements of the Escrow Agreement) (a “Joint Instruction Letter”) directing the Escrow Agent to disburse the portion of the Escrow Funds required to satisfy an obligation under Section 2.04(c)(vi).

(d) If either Buyer or Seller Representative fails to timely execute and deliver a Joint Instruction Letter when required hereunder, any amount that should have been released from escrow pursuant to such instructions shall bear interest at the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law from the date such release should have been made until the date the release is actually made.

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.01 Tax Covenants.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Sellers (and, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Affiliates and their respective representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, the Company, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyer or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period.  Sellers agree that Buyer is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Sellers, the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, the Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Sellers when due.  Sellers shall, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(c) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.  Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Buyer to the Seller Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Seller Representative, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return.  If the Seller Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection.  If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items.  If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Buyer of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Buyer and reasonably

42

acceptable to Seller (the “Accounting Referee”) and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final.  The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within 30 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require.  If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee's resolution.  The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Buyer and Sellers.  The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Buyer.

Section 6.02 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements.  Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.  After such date neither the Company, Sellers nor any of Sellers’ Affiliates and their respective representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Section 6.03 Tax Indemnification.  Except to the extent treated as a Liability in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Sellers shall indemnify the Company, Buyer, and each Buyer Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.22; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI; (c) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all pre-Closing Tax Periods; (d) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on the Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date.  In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys' and accountants' fees) incurred in connection therewith.  Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.03 within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company.

(a) in the case of Taxes based upon, or related to, income or receipts, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

Section 6.05 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

43

(a) Election.  The Company and Sellers shall join with Buyer in making a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares of the Company hereunder (collectively, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”).  Sellers shall pay any Tax incurred by the Sellers or the Company attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, and Sellers shall indemnify Buyer and the Company against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay any such Taxes.

(b) Allocation of Purchase Price.  Sellers and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”).  The final Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to the Seller Representative within 60 days following the Closing Date for its approval.  If the Seller Representative does not notify the Buyer in writing of an objection to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days of its delivery to the Seller Representative, then the Allocation Schedule as prepared by the Buyer shall be deemed approved by the Sellers.  If the Seller Representative notifies Buyer in writing within 30 days of the delivery to the Seller Representative of the Allocation Schedule that the Seller Representative objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule as being unreasonable and states the reason for such objection, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if the Seller Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days of the delivery to Buyer of the written objections of the Seller Representative, such dispute shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee who shall uphold the Buyer's valuations unless he finds them to be unreasonable.  The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyer.  Buyer, the Company and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.  Any adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

Section 6.06 Contests.  Buyer agrees to give written notice to the Seller Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer's Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to this Article VI (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer's right to indemnification hereunder.  Buyer shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that the Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Sellers.

Section 6.07 Cooperation and Exchange of Information.  Sellers and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VI or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company.  Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with

44

accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities.  Sellers and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in their possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods.  Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Sellers or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

Section 6.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 6.09 Survival.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.22 and this Article VI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (other than any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach, violation or failure shall be pursuant to Article VI); or

Section 8.04 Certain Limitations.  The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) exceeds $100,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Sellers shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket.  The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Sellers shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02(a) shall not exceed $3,900,000 (the “Cap”).

(b) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification

49

under Section 8.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in which event Buyer shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.  The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.03(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(d) For purposes of this Article VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures.  The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims.  If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof.  The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.  Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is the Sellers, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes in writing the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof.  The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party

50

shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required.  If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim.  Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b).  If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer.  If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims.  Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 90 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim.  The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.  Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim.  The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such

51

information and assistance (including access to the Company's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Tax Claims.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.22 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI) shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.

Section 8.06 Payments.  Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent, calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation.  The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party's waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.

4.3 Releasor is the sole record and beneficial owner of, and has not sold, assigned or otherwise transferred (with or without consideration) to any Person, any Claims being released hereby.

5. Certain Acknowledgements.  Releasor acknowledges that it (a) has read and understands this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, (b) has, to the extent Releasor so desired and as recommended by Purchaser, consulted with legal counsel with respect to the terms and conditions hereof, (c) is fully aware of the legal effect of this Agreement, (d) has entered into this Agreement freely based on Releasor’s own judgment with the advice of legal counsel and such other advisers as Releasor has deemed necessary or advisable, and (e) has not been offered any promise or inducement to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly stated in this Agreement.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 This Agreement shall be interpreted, enforced and governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

6.2 Releasor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, any court located in the State of Oklahoma for the purposes of any proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement and agrees to commence any such proceeding only in such courts.  Releasor further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to Releasor’s address set forth on the signature page hereto will be effective service of process for any such proceeding.  Releasor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in such courts of any proceeding arising out of this Agreement and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

6.3 If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or contrary to public policy, such term or provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to be valid and enforceable and shall be enforced as modified, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

6.4 Each Released Party is a third party beneficiary of Releasor’s releases, representations, covenants and other obligations under this Agreement and, as such, may enforce the provisions hereof as if he or she were a party hereto.  In no event shall any Released Party be liable to the Releasor for any indirect, consequential, remote, exemplary or punitive or multiple-based damages.

63

6.5 It is recognized and acknowledged by Releasor that a breach of the covenants and other obligations contained in Section 2 will cause irreparable damage to some or all of the Released Parties, the amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate.  It is also recognized and acknowledged by Releasor that (i) for the reasons set forth in the Recitals of this Agreement, Purchaser will not consummate the Transaction without the execution of this Agreement by the Releasor and (ii) Releasor has received good and valuable consideration in exchange for Releasor’s agreement to be bound by such covenants and other obligations.  Accordingly, Releasor agrees that he or she will not challenge the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement to which he or she has agreed and, without limiting the foregoing, covenants not to bring any action, suit or proceeding that seeks to challenge the enforceability thereof.  Furthermore, in the event of a breach of any of the covenants or other obligations contained in Section 2, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Released Parties will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
