PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This Purchase and Sale Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of May 29, 2015 (the “Execution Date”), by and between Bridger, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) and Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”). Seller and Purchaser are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS:

A. Seller owns (i) all of the outstanding membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) of Bridger Logistics, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (the “Acquired Company”) and (ii) directly or indirectly all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Subsidiary Membership Interests”) of each of the Acquired Subsidiaries (together with the Acquired Company, the “Company Group”).

B. The Acquired Company directly or indirectly owns or as of the Closing Date will directly or indirectly own all of the issued and outstanding Subsidiary Membership Interests.

C. Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to acquire, all of the Membership Interests upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms hereof, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

Section 1.1 Defined Terms. In addition to the terms defined in the introductory paragraph and the Recitals of this Agreement, for purposes hereof, the capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A.

Section 1.2 References and Rules of Construction. All references in this Agreement to Exhibits, Schedules, Appendices, Articles, Sections, subsections, clauses and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Exhibits, Schedules, Appendices, Articles, Sections, subsections, clauses and other subdivisions of or to this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. Titles appearing at the beginning of any Exhibits, Schedules, Appendices, Articles, Sections, subsections, clauses and other subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of this Agreement and shall be disregarded in construing the language hereof. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section, subsection, clause or other subdivision unless expressly so limited. The words “this Article,” “this Section,” “this subsection,” “this clause,” and words of similar import, refer only to the Article, Section, subsection and clause hereof in which such words occur. The word “including” (in its various forms) means including without limitation. All references to “$” or “dollars” shall be deemed references to United States dollars. Each accounting term not defined herein will have

the meaning given to it under GAAP as interpreted as of the date of this Agreement. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, the word “or” is not exclusive. Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender, and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. Appendices, Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein are attached to and by this reference incorporated herein for all purposes. Reference herein to any federal, state, local or foreign Law shall be deemed to also refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “day” or “days” shall mean calendar day, unless denoted as a Business Day. The words “will” and “will not” are expressions of command and not merely expressions of future intent or expectation. When used in this Agreement, the word “either” shall be deemed to mean “one or the other”, not “both”. In each instance herein where the phrase “have a Material Adverse Effect” or similar phrase is used, such phrase shall be deemed to include “constitute a Material Adverse Effect.”

ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE AND SALE; PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.1 Purchase and Sale. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser the Membership Interests, and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept the Membership Interests, in each case free and clear of Liens (other than Liens arising as a result of applicable state or federal securities Laws).

Section 2.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Purchaser for the Membership Interests (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to (i) $562,500,000, (the “Cash Purchase Price”), plus (ii) the Aggregate Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to and at the time provided under Section 2.4 (which the Parties agree may be a negative number), minus (iii) the Seller Portion of the R&W Premium Amount, plus (iv) 11,200,000 LP Units (the “Equity Purchase Price”). The Estimated Cash Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 8.3(a).

Section 2.3 Closing Estimates. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) containing Seller’s good faith estimate of the Estimated Aggregate Adjustment, together with a reasonably detailed computation of such estimate. Attached hereto as Schedule 2.3 is an illustrative calculation of the Aggregate Adjustment as of the Balance Sheet Date, as if the Balance Sheet Date was the Closing Date. The Estimated Aggregate Adjustment shall be prepared in accordance with the illustrative calculation included on Schedule 2.3 using the same methodologies, practices, policies and judgments as were used in the preparation of the Financial Statements, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including Schedule 2.3 (the “Accounting Principles”).

Section 2.4 Post-Closing Purchase Price Reconciliation.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 60 days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a closing statement (the “Closing

Statement”), setting forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Aggregate Adjustment. Purchaser shall prepare the Closing Statement and the Aggregate Adjustment in accordance with the illustrative calculation included on Schedule 2.3 using the Accounting Principles.

(b) Within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller agrees or disagrees with the Closing Statement. If Purchaser does not receive such notice within such 30-day period, it shall be deemed that Seller has accepted the Closing Statement with respect to all items set forth therein as of the expiration of such 30-day period. If Seller accepts (or is deemed to accept, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) the Closing Statement, Purchaser or Seller, as appropriate, shall, within five Business Days of such acceptance (or deemed acceptance), make the following adjustments: (i) if the Aggregate Adjustment is $1,000,000 greater than the Estimated Aggregate Adjustment, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the full amount by which the Aggregate Adjustment exceeds the Estimated Aggregate Adjustment in cash (by means of federal funds wire or interbank transfer in immediately available funds) or (ii) if the Aggregate Adjustment is $1,000,000 less than the Estimated Aggregate Adjustment, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the full amount by which the Aggregate Adjustment is less than the Estimated Aggregate Adjustment in LP Units, valued at $24.55 per LP Unit; provided, that any Retention Bonus Amounts shall not be subject to the $1,000,000 threshold described in clause (ii). In the event that any payment required by this Section 2.4(b) is not made by the appropriate Party when due pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.4(b), such payment shall accrue interest from the date such payment was due at the lesser of (A) 5% per annum and (B) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.

(c) If Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of the Aggregate Adjustment set forth in the Closing Statement, each notice delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (a “Seller Notice of Disagreement”) shall specify Seller’s calculation of the Aggregate Adjustment and shall specify in reasonable detail the items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees and the nature and extent of such disagreement. Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and the Aggregate Adjustment. Purchaser and Seller shall have a period of 30 days from Purchaser’s receipt of a Seller Notice of Disagreement to resolve any disagreement specified therein. Any disputed amounts that cannot be agreed to by the Parties within 30 days after Purchaser’s receipt of a Seller Notice of Disagreement shall be determined by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, (the “Accounting Firm”). The engagement of and the determination by the Accounting Firm (or any other accounting firm designated by the Accounting Firm as set forth below) shall be completed within 60 days after such assignment is given to the Accounting Firm and shall be final and binding on, and non-appealable by, Seller and Purchaser. If for any reason the Accounting Firm is unable to act in such capacity, such determination will be made by any other nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Accounting Firm, which other accounting firm does not have a material relationship with either Seller or Purchaser. Purchaser agrees that it will cause each member of the Company Group to promptly provide reasonable access to its books, records, supporting documents, work papers and personnel to Seller and its Representatives (including the Accounting Firm) at reasonable times in connection with any dispute under this Section 2.4(c), and Purchaser and Seller agree that they will use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause their respective independent accountants to cooperate and assist in the preparation of the conduct of the audits and reviews referred to in this Section 2.4(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the access Purchaser is obligated to cause to be provided

hereunder shall not be construed to cause any member of the Company Group or Purchaser to take any action that could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege (or any similar privilege). The fees and expenses payable to the Accounting Firm (or any other accounting firm designated by the Accounting Firm) in connection with determining the difference, if any, in the Aggregate Adjustment set forth in the Closing Statement as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) (the “Final Adjustment Amount”) shall be split equally between Purchaser and Seller.

(d) Within five Business Days of the date on which the last disputed item required to determine the Final Adjustment Amount is resolved by the Accounting Firm, Purchaser or Seller, as appropriate, shall make the payments described in Section 2.4(b) hereof.

ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SELLER

Section 3.1 Generally.

(a) Inclusion of a matter on a Schedule in relation to a representation or warranty that addresses matters having a Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed an indication that such matter does, or may, have a Material Adverse Effect. Likewise, the inclusion of a matter on a Schedule to this Agreement in relation to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an indication that such matter necessarily would, or may, breach such representation or warranty absent its inclusion on such Schedule. Matters may be disclosed on a Schedule for information purposes only.

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, the disclaimers and waivers contained in and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing the matters set out in Section 3.2 through Section 3.9.

Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser will acquire good, valid, and marketable title to all of the Membership Interests and all of the Subsidiary Membership Interests, free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens that may arise by virtue of any actions taken by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates. The Membership Interests constitute 100% of the Equity Securities in the Acquired Company, and the Subsidiary Membership Interests constitute 100% of the Equity Securities in the Acquired Subsidiaries.

Section 3.3 Existence and Qualification. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 3.4 Authorization and Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all documents required to be executed and delivered by or on behalf of Seller on or prior to Closing, and the performance of the transactions contemplated

hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or similar action on the part of Seller. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Seller (and all documents required hereunder to be executed and delivered by or on behalf of Seller at or prior to Closing will be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Seller) and this Agreement (assuming that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser) constitutes, and at the Closing such documents will constitute, the valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy or other similar Laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, as well as by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 3.5 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all documents required to be executed and delivered by or on behalf of Seller and the transactions contemplated herein and therein, will not (a) violate any provision of the Governing Documents of Seller, (b) result in default (with due notice or lapse of time or both) or the creation of any material Lien or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license or agreement to which Seller is a party, (c) violate any Laws applicable to Seller as a party in interest or otherwise, except any matters described in clauses (b) or (c) above that would not materially and adversely affect Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.6 Litigation. There are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened before any Governmental Body or arbitrator against Seller that are reasonably likely to materially impair Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any document required to be executed and delivered by or on behalf of Seller on or prior to the Closing.

Section 3.7 Liability for Brokers’ Fees. Neither Purchaser nor any member of the Company Group shall directly or indirectly have any responsibility, liability or expense, as a result of undertakings or agreements of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, in each case, for Transaction Expenses, brokerage fees, finder’s fees, agent’s commissions or other similar forms of compensation in connection with this Agreement or any agreement or transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 3.8 Approvals. Except in connection with the HSR Act or as set forth in Schedule 3.8, no consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or declaration, filing, or registration with, any Governmental Body or any Third Party, in each case, that is material to the Business, is required to be obtained or made by Seller in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, each other agreement, instrument or document executed by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to which it is a party or the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 3.9 Investment Intent; No Reliance. Seller is acquiring the LP Units comprising the Equity Purchase Price (the “LP Consideration Units”) for its own account, for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities Laws. In determining whether to execute,

deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller has not relied on any representations or warranties of the Purchaser or any Affiliate, agent or representative of Purchaser of any kind or character, except the representations and warranties specifically set forth in this Agreement. Seller has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the LP Consideration Units and is capable of bearing the economic risk of such investment. Seller is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (without regard to Rule 501(a)(4)) promulgated under the Securities Act. Seller is acquiring the LP Consideration Units for investment for its own account and not with a view toward or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, or with any present intention of distributing or selling the LP Consideration Units. Seller does not have any contract or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to the LP Consideration Units. Seller acknowledges and understands that (a) the acquisition of the LP Consideration Units has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption therefrom and (b) the LP Consideration Units will, upon such acquisition, be characterized as “restricted securities” under state and federal securities Laws. Seller further acknowledges and understands that the LP Consideration Units may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with other applicable state and federal securities Laws.

Section 3.10 Certain Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS AND TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 3 OR ARTICLE 4 OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT REQUIRED TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER, (I) SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, AND (II) SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY STATEMENT OR INFORMATION MADE OR COMMUNICATED (ORALLY OR IN WRITING) TO PURCHASER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING ANY OPINION, INFORMATION OR ADVICE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO PURCHASER BY ANY MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP).

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE COMPANY GROUP

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(a), the disclaimers and waivers contained in and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing the matters set out in Section 4.1 through Section 4.19.

Section 4.1 Existence and Qualification. The Acquired Company is a limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Louisiana, and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to conduct the Business as it is now being conducted and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets where such properties and assets are now owned, leased or operated. The Acquired Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing (to the extent applicable) under the Laws of

each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the assets owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has previously delivered to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of the Governing Documents for the Acquired Company.

Section 4.2 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will not (a) violate any provision of the Acquired Company’s Governing Documents or of the Governing Documents of any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, (b) assuming all of the consents set forth on Schedule 4.2 have been obtained (the “Company Consents”), result in a violation or the creation of any Lien, or a breach of or default (or give rise to any material right of termination, cancellation, amendment, modification, or acceleration) under any Company Contract, (c) assuming the Company Consents have been obtained, require the consent or approval of any Governmental Body, or notice to, or declaration, filing or registration with, any Governmental Body, under any applicable Law, or (d) violate any Laws applicable to the Acquired Company or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, except any matters described in clause (b) above that would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.3 Capitalization. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3, Seller is the direct owner, holder of record, and beneficial owner of the Membership Interests free and clear of all Liens, restrictions on transfer or other encumbrances other than Liens that will be released at or before Closing, those arising pursuant to or expressly contemplated in this Agreement, the Governing Documents of the Acquired Company, applicable securities Laws or as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Membership Interests, including financings related to such acquisition and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Membership Interests are subject to any voting trust, member agreement or voting agreement or other agreement, right, instrument or understanding with respect to any purchase, sale, issuance, transfer, repurchase, redemption or voting of any Equity Securities of the Acquired Company, other than the Governing Documents of the Acquired Company. When transferred to Purchaser at Closing, the Membership Interests will be owned by Purchaser free and clear of all Liens other than those arising pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Acquired Company, applicable securities Laws or as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Membership Interests, including financings related thereto. The Membership Interests are duly authorized and validly issued, non-assessable (subject to the terms of the Governing Documents of the Acquired Company and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act) and constitute all of the outstanding Equity Securities of the Acquired Company. The Acquired Company has not granted to any Person any agreement or option, or any right or privilege capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase, subscription, allotment or issue of any unissued interests, units or other securities (including convertible securities or warrants) of the Acquired Company. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Acquired Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Equity Security.

Section 4.4 Subsidiaries. Each Acquired Subsidiary is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite power and authority to conduct its Business as it is now being conducted and to own, lease and operate the assets of the Business where such assets are now

owned or used by it, except for those licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals the absence of which would not be material to any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Each Acquired Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing (to the extent applicable) under the Laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the assets owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Each Acquired Subsidiary (including the amount or percentage of the Acquired Company’s direct or indirect ownership in each Acquired Subsidiary) and its respective jurisdiction of organization and qualification is identified on Schedule 4.4. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.4, the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries do not, directly or indirectly, own any Equity Securities in any other Person.

(a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.4, all of Subsidiary Membership Interests are owned by the Acquired Company, directly or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens that will be released at or before Closing, Liens arising under the Governing Documents of the Acquired Subsidiary or applicable securities Laws. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.4, none of the Acquired Subsidiaries have granted to any Person any agreement or option, or any right or privilege capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase, subscription, allotment or issue of any unissued interests, units or other securities (including convertible securities or warrants) of such Subsidiary. All Subsidiary Membership Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and were not issued in violation of, or (except as disclosed in Schedule 4.4) subject to, any preemptive rights or preferential rights of subscription or purchase of any other Person.

(b) None of the Subsidiary Membership Interests are subject to any voting trust, member or partnership agreement or voting agreement or other agreement, right, instrument or understanding with respect to any purchase, sale, issuance, transfer, repurchase, redemption or voting of any Subsidiary Membership Interests, other than the Governing Documents of the Acquired Subsidiaries or as set forth on Schedule 4.4. There are no outstanding contractual obligations to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Subsidiary Membership Interests. The Subsidiary Membership Interests constitute 100% of the Equity Securities in the Acquired Subsidiaries.

Section 4.5 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5 or expressly described in the footnotes to the Financial Statements, no Proceedings are pending against, and there are no outstanding Governmental Orders to which the Acquired Company or an Acquired Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound, and to the Knowledge of Seller, no such Proceedings or Governmental Orders have been threatened against the Acquired Company or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, that would be material to the Company Group, taken as a whole.

Section 4.6 Financial Statements. Seller has previously delivered to Purchaser (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet for the Pre-Reorganization Company Group as of the Balance Sheet Date (the “Balance Sheet”) and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in equity for the Pre-Reorganization Company Group for the three months ended on the Balance Sheet Date (together with the Balance Sheet, the “Interim Financial Statements”) and (ii) audited consolidated balance sheets for the Pre-Reorganization

(a) Since December 31, 2012, all reports, including but not limited to the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Current Reports on Form 8-K, forms, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by Purchaser with or to the SEC, as applicable, pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (the “Purchaser SEC Documents”), have been timely filed or furnished in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. All such Purchaser SEC Documents, as of their respective filing dates in the case of any Exchange Act report and as of their respective effective dates in the case of any Securities Act filing, (i) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) complied as to form in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(b) Purchaser has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Purchaser’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by Purchaser in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to Purchaser’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions. To the Knowledge of Purchaser, since September 30, 2013, there have not been any material weaknesses in Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting or changes in Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting.

Section 5.15 Financial Statements. The historical financial statements of Purchaser included in the Purchaser SEC Documents as of their respective dates (or if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment), including all related notes and schedules (the “Purchaser Financial Statements”): (i) comply as to form in all material respects with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act; (ii) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position as of the date thereof, and results of operations, cash flows and changes in partners’ equity of the entities to which such Purchaser Financial Statements relate, on the basis set forth therein and as of and for the periods indicated; and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X) and subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments.

Section 5.16 MLP Status. Purchaser is properly treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and more than ninety percent (90%) of Purchaser’s current gross income is qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Code. Purchaser is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a partnership that would be treated as an investment company (within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code) if Purchaser were incorporated.

Section 5.17 Certain Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS AND TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 5 OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT REQUIRED TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY OR ON BEHALF OF PURCHASER, (I) PURCHASER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, AND (II) PURCHASER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY STATEMENT OR INFORMATION MADE OR COMMUNICATED (ORALLY OR IN WRITING) TO SELLER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS OR REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING ANY OPINION, INFORMATION OR ADVICE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO SELLER BY ANY MEMBER OF THE PURCHASER GROUP).

ARTICLE 6

COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

Section 6.1 Access.

(a) Between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries to, give Purchaser and its Representatives, upon reasonable advance notice to Seller or its Representatives, reasonable access to the Business and reasonable access to and the right to copy, at Purchaser’s sole cost, risk and expense, the Books and Records (or originals thereof), for the purpose of conducting a reasonable due diligence review of the Acquired Company, the Acquired Subsidiaries and the Business, but only to the extent that Seller and the Acquired Company may do so without violating any obligations to any Third Party and to the extent that Seller and the Acquired Company have the authority to grant such access without breaching any restrictions binding on them, in each case, as determined by Seller in its reasonable discretion; provided that Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause such Third Party to agree to permit Seller to provide such access to Purchaser and its Representatives. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, abide by Seller’s and the Acquired Company’s safety rules, regulations, and operating policies while conducting its due diligence evaluation of the Acquired Company, the Acquired Subsidiaries and the Business. Any conclusions made from any examination done by Purchaser shall result from Purchaser’s own independent review and judgment; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor its Representatives shall conduct any environmental site assessment, compliance evaluation or investigation with respect to Seller, the Acquired Company, the Acquired Subsidiaries or the Business without prior written consent of Seller and without reasonable ongoing consultation with Seller with respect to any such activity (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall any subsurface investigation or testing of any environmental media be conducted (i) on the Owned Real Property without Seller’s prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed and (ii) on any other properties of the Company Group or related to the Business other than the Owned Real Property).

(b) The access granted to Purchaser under this Section 6.1 shall be limited to the Acquired Company’s normal business hours, and Purchaser’s investigation shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes interference with the operation of the Acquired Company, the Acquired Subsidiaries and the Business. Purchaser shall coordinate its access rights with the Acquired Company to reasonably minimize any inconvenience to or interruption of the conduct of the Business. Purchaser also agrees that neither Purchaser nor its Representatives shall contact any of the employees, customers, suppliers or parties that have business relationships with Seller, the Acquired Company or any Acquired Subsidiary, nor any Governmental Body or representatives thereof, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in person or by telephone, email or other means of communication, without prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges that, pursuant to its right of access, Purchaser will become privy to confidential and other information of Seller, the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries and that such confidential information (which includes Purchaser’s conclusions with respect to its evaluations) shall be held confidential by Purchaser in accordance

with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and any applicable privacy Laws regarding personal information.

(d) In connection with the rights of access, examination and inspection granted to Purchaser under this Section 6.1, PURCHASER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ACQUIRED COMPANY AND THE SELLER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PHYSICAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR VIOLATION OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANY’S RULES, REGULATIONS, OR OPERATING POLICIES, ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY FIELD VISIT OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITY CONDUCTED BY PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO THE BUSINESS.

Section 6.2 Government Reviews.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, Seller and Purchaser shall (a) make all required filings, prepare all required applications and conduct negotiations with each Governmental Body as to which such filings, applications or negotiations are necessary or appropriate in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such information as each may reasonably request to make such filings, prepare such applications and conduct such negotiations. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with and use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist the other with respect to such filings, applications, and negotiations. Each Party shall promptly inform the other Parties of any oral communication, and upon request provide copies of written communications, with any Governmental Body regarding any such filings. No Party shall independently participate in any formal meeting or substantive discussion with any Governmental Body in respect of any such filings or other inquiry without giving the other Parties prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. Any Party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.2 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of such Party and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of such Party, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(a), as soon as practicable, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of execution of this Agreement, Parties shall file or cause to be filed with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice any notifications required to be filed under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and in each case, shall request early termination of the waiting period with respect to the transactions contemplated herein. The Parties shall consult with each other as to the appropriate time for filing such notifications and shall agree upon the timing of such filings, and to respond promptly to any requests for additional information made by either of such agencies. Purchaser shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act, but Seller shall bear its own costs for the preparation of any filing. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated herein to expire or terminate at the earliest possible

time. The Purchaser will not withdraw its initial filing under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, as the case may be, and refile it unless Seller has consented in advance to such withdrawal and refiling.

(c) Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith with the Antitrust Authorities and as promptly as possible, use good faith efforts to complete lawfully the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable (but in any event prior to the date set forth in Section 9.1(d)) the actions necessary or advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the actual or threatened commencement of any Proceeding by or on behalf of any Antitrust Authority or the issuance of any Governmental Order that would delay, enjoin, prevent, restrain or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting this Section 6.2(c) Purchaser agrees, in connection with the matters covered by this Section 6.2, to commence and/or defend against litigation in order to seek to prevent an issuance of a Governmental Order that would prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be required, in connection with the matters covered by this Section 6.2, to (i) pay any material amounts (excluding legal fees and expenses that would be incurred in connection with the performance of the covenant of Purchaser in the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) hold separate (including by trust or otherwise) or divest any of its or its Affiliates’ businesses, product lines or assets, or any of the properties or assets of the Company Group, (iii) agree to any material limitation on the operation or conduct of the Business, or (iv) waive any of the conditions to this Agreement set forth in Section 7.3.

(d) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all of the information relating to the Purchaser, Seller or the Acquired Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Body in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Acquired Company, Seller and Purchaser shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

Section 6.3 Public Announcements; Confidentiality. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. Thereafter, no Party shall make any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement, the contents hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict disclosures (i) to the extent required (upon advice of counsel) by applicable securities or other Laws or regulations or the applicable rules of any stock exchange having jurisdiction over the Parties or their respective Affiliates, (ii) of the terms of this Agreement by Seller to its Representatives or (iii) to the extent such Party has been given a reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure prior to its release and no objection is raised.

Section 6.4 Conduct and Preservation of Business. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as consented to in writing by Purchaser (the requirement of which will not

violate or conflict with applicable Law), between the Execution Date and the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, Seller will cause the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries to (i) conduct their operations according to their ordinary course of business and in material compliance with all applicable Laws and (ii) maintain and preserve intact the Business in all material respects with a view toward preserving the Business for Purchaser to and after the Closing Date; provided that, the Acquired Company, the Acquired Subsidiaries, Seller and Seller’s Affiliates shall not be required to (x) make any capital expenditures or (y) make any payment or assume any liability or obligation not otherwise required to be paid or assumed by the terms of an existing Company Contract or by applicable Law or offer or grant any financial accommodation or other benefit not otherwise required to be made by the terms of an existing Contract.

Section 6.5 Restrictions on Certain Actions. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.4, and except (A) as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement (including as described on Schedule 6.5) or (B) as required by applicable Law, between the Execution Date and the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, Seller will cause the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Purchaser take, consent to or allow any of the following actions:

(l) declare, set aside, make or pay any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Equity Securities of the Acquired Company or any Acquired Subsidiary or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding Equity Securities of the Acquired Company or any Acquired Subsidiary;

In the event of an emergency, Seller or the Acquired Company may take such action or actions that are required in its discretion to preserve the Business and shall notify Purchaser of such action promptly thereafter.

Section 6.6 Amendment to Schedules. Each Party agrees that, with respect to the representations and warranties of such Party contained in this Agreement, such Party shall have the continuing right until three Business Days before Closing to supplement or amend the Schedules relating to such representations and warranties, subject to the following:

(a) if such amendment or supplement is based on events or matters that (i) arose before the date of this Agreement or (ii) arise after the date of this Agreement and that are not expressly permitted to occur under the terms of this Agreement, in each case, no such amendment or supplement shall be given effect for purposes of determining (x) the fulfillment of any condition precedent set forth in Article 7 or (y) the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct; and

(b) if such amendment or supplement is based on events or matters that arise after the date of this Agreement and that are expressly permitted to occur under the terms of this Agreement, such amendment or supplement shall be immediately effective and the amended or supplemented Schedule shall be read for all purposes as so amended or supplemented.

Section 6.7 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party hereto will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable under applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to take or cause to be taken any action, or to do or cause to be done anything, contemplated by this Agreement to be taken or done or caused to be taken or done by the other party hereto or its Affiliate.

(b) After Closing, the Parties agree to take such further actions and to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further documents as are reasonably requested by the other Party for carrying out the purposes of this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including all agreements to be executed by the Parties in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, after Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Acquired Company to, give Seller reasonable access to the Books and Records (or originals thereof) for the purpose of reviewing the methodologies, practices, policies and judgments Purchaser used to prepare the Closing Statement.

Section 6.8 Commitment Regarding Indemnification Provisions. Purchaser covenants and agrees that during the period that commences on the Closing Date and ends on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not cause any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of any provision of the Governing Documents of the Acquired Company or any

Acquired Subsidiary setting forth exculpation from liability or rights to indemnification for officers, directors, managers or members of the Acquired Company or such Acquired Subsidiary, the effect of which would be to affect adversely the rights of any person serving as an officer, director, manager or member of the Acquired Company or an Acquired Subsidiary, existing as of the date of this Agreement under such provisions; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination to the extent required to cause such provisions (or any portion thereof) to comply with applicable Law.

Section 6.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transfer the employment of each Transfer Employee from the applicable member of the Bridger Group to the Acquired Company or one of the Acquired Subsidiaries. Such transfers of employment shall result in the termination of employment of such Transfer Employees from the Bridger Group and shall become effective at 12:01 am on the Closing Date or at such earlier time as Seller may determine in its discretion. The parties intend that each Transfer Employee’s transfer of employment from the Bridger Group to the Acquired Company or one of the Acquired Subsidiaries shall not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment, including for purposes of any Employee Plan that provides for separation, termination or severance benefits, and that each such Transfer Employee will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the transfer. Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 6.9, such transfers of employment shall result in the assumption by the Acquired Company of all liabilities of the Bridger Group related to the Transfer Employees to the extent incurred in the ordinary course of business (including accrued but unused vacation or other paid-time off of Transfer Employees) and including liabilities for accrued salaries and wages and other payables to Insperity PEO Services, L.P. with respect to the Transfer Employees (“Transfer Employee Liabilities”). The Seller and Purchaser agree that following the Closing, the Acquired Company or one of the Acquired Subsidiaries will be responsible for and will indemnify and hold harmless Seller for and against all Transfer Employee Liabilities. The Parties expressly acknowledge that the Transfer Employee Liabilities include the retention bonus and severance obligations for the Business Employees under those certain “Transaction Bonus and Severance Agreement” letters delivered by the Seller to certain Business Employees on or around April 27, 2015.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall give the Business Employees who are in the employ of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) following the Closing Date (“Continuing Employees”) full credit for all purposes under any employee benefit plans, arrangements and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation or other leave entitlements, plans or arrangements) that are provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for such Continuing Employee’s service with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group prior to the Closing), except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate and exchange such information as is reasonably necessary to avoid any such duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under applicable

Law, Purchaser shall not be required to provide credit for such service for benefit accrual purposes under any employee benefit plan of Purchaser that is a defined benefit pension plan.

(c) Purchaser agrees that during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, it shall provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) Continuing Employees with compensation, benefits and perquisites and other terms and conditions of employment that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the compensation, benefits and perquisites and other terms and conditions of employment provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing.

(d) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) waive for each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to such Continuing Employee under the terms of corresponding Employee Plan, and (ii) give full credit under the welfare plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates applicable to each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents for all co-payments and deductibles satisfied prior to the Closing in the same plan year as the Closing, and for any lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.

(e) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in communications with Continuing Employees with respect to employee benefit plans and with respect to other matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, until the Closing Date, Purchaser shall consult with Seller and obtain Seller’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before distributing any communications to any employees, whether relating to employee benefits, terms of employment or otherwise and shall provide Seller with advance copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment on (and shall consider in good faith all such comments), all material communications to any employee relating to post-Closing employment, employee benefits, terms of employment or otherwise.

(f) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Section 6.9 shall be construed to limit in any way the ability of Purchaser or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee from and after the Closing Date.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 12.10, nothing in this Section 6.9, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement upon any Person (including any Continuing Employees) other than the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns to continued employment or any severance or other benefits from Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 6.9 shall be construed as an amendment to any Employee Plan or employee benefit plan. Subject to applicable Law, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, including this Section 6.9, no provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on rights to amend, modify or terminate, either before or after Closing, any employee benefit plan.

(h) Purchaser shall provide any notices to the Continuing Employees that may be required under any applicable Law, including the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (“WARN”) or any similar Law, with respect to events that occur from and after the Closing. Purchaser shall not take any action after the Closing that would cause any termination of employment of any employees by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that occurs on or before the Closing to constitute a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” under WARN or any similar Law, or to create any Liability to Seller or any of its Affiliates for any employment terminations under applicable Law.

Section 6.10 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller and its controlled Affiliates shall not, for a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly through any Person, own, acquire, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any Person engaged in any business that otherwise competes with the Business, anywhere in the United States; provided, however, that in no event shall crude oil marketing activities be considered a business that competes with the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bridger Group may, without violating this Section 6.10, own a passive investment not in excess of 5% of the outstanding capital stock of a corporation which engages in such a business, if such capital stock is a security actively traded on an established securities exchange.

(b) For a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date, (i) Purchaser, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors or employees shall not (A) induce or attempt to induce any director, officer or employee of any member of the Bridger Group to leave the employ of such member of the Bridger Group or (B) in any other way intentionally interfere with the relationship between any member of the Bridger Group and any employee, officer or director thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be applicable to the Continuing Employees and (ii) the Bridger Group, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors or employees shall not (A) induce or attempt to induce any director, officer or employee of Purchaser or its Affiliates to leave the employ of Purchaser or the applicable Affiliate or (B) in any other way intentionally interfere with the relationship between Purchaser or its Affiliates and any employee, officer or director thereof; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 6.10(b), none of Riverstone, any portfolio company of Riverstone (other than the Bridger Group), any portfolio company of any investment fund affiliated with Riverstone, or any of their respective directors, officers, equityholders or employees be deemed an Affiliate of the Bridger Group.

(c) The covenants and undertakings contained in Section 6.10 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of Section 6.10 would cause irreparable injury to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, such that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such violation. Therefore, Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of Section 6.10 by the other Party without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 6.10 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) if Seller or Purchaser breaches Section 6.10(b) and the other Party seeks and obtains an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, the twelve (12) month period referred to in such Section 6.10(b) shall be computed from the date relief is granted to the other Party instead of from the Closing Date and reduced by any time following the Closing Date during which the breaching Party complied with its obligations thereunder.

(e) If any court of competent jurisdiction in a final, binding and nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, geographical area, business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 6.10 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then the maximum time period, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy shall be enforced against the applicable party.

Section 6.11 Insurance. Purchaser covenants and agrees that prior to Closing, Purchaser will obtain all insurance policies that are required to be obtained by the Business under applicable Law (the “Insurance Policies”) and that all such Insurance Policies will be valid, binding and in full force and effect.

Section 6.12 Affiliate Arrangements. Except for obligations specified in Schedule 6.12(a), which will continue after the Closing in accordance with their terms as in effect on the date of this Agreement, all agreements and arrangements between and among the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Bridger Group, on the other hand, are set forth on Schedule 6.12(b). Except for the contracts set forth on Schedule 6.12(c), all liabilities and obligations of the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Bridger Group, on the other hand, will automatically terminate in their entirety effective as of the Closing without any further actions by the Parties and thereby be deemed voided, cancelled and discharged in their entirety. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all intercompany accounts among the Acquired Company and the Acquired Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Bridger Group, on the other hand, that then remain outstanding will be terminated, voided, cancelled and discharged, except to the extent any such accounts would be taken into account in connection with the determination of Closing Date Net Working Capital.

Section 6.13 Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit. Purchaser agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide as soon as practicable following the date hereof, and shall provide in any event no later the date that is six months following the Closing Date, replacement security acceptable to the counterparty or beneficiaries of the guaranties, surety bonds, letters of credit and other Contracts that are listed in Schedule 4.10(c) and designated therein with an asterisk (*) (the “Support Obligations”) to secure any and all obligations or liabilities of the Acquired Company, the Acquired Subsidiaries or the Business thereunder that are not being released in full by such counterparty or beneficiary on the Closing Date.
