descriptions of this Agreement and the Transactions and such forms shall be filed with the Commission. The Parties shall cooperate and consult with each other with respect to the disclosure of the Transactions contained in the Form 8-K and the Form S-1. Mammoth shall promptly provide copies or all written comments received from the Commission, and consult with Contributor with respect to any comments received from the Commission regarding the Transaction, and make available to Contributor upon its request a complete and correct copy of any amendments that are filed with the Commission. At its effective time, the Form S-1 shall comply as to form in all material respects with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading.

(b) Mammoth shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such number of Common Units of Contributor requested by Contributor to be included in the Form S-1 as a selling unitholder and such Common Units shall be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the Common Units being offered by Mammoth, subject to Contributor entering into the underwriting agreement. If the managing underwriters advise Mammoth that in their good faith judgment the number of Common Units requested to be included in the Form S-1 by Contributor exceeds the number which can be sold in the IPO without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the IPO, then the Form S-1 shall include the maximum number of shares that the managing underwriters advise can be sold in the IPO by Contributor allocated as follows: (i) first, the Common Units that Mammoth proposes to sell, and (ii) second, to the extent that any other Common Units may be included without exceeding the limitations recommended by the underwriters as aforesaid, such number of Common Units to be included in the Form S-1 by Contributor, Holdings and Rhino will be included on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed among Contributor, Holdings and Rhino).

Mammoth will cause or permit representatives of Contributor to have full access at all reasonable times, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of Mammoth, to all premises, properties, personnel, books, records, Contracts, and documents pertaining to the Holdings Contribution, the Rhino Contribution, the IPO, the Transactions and such other information to enable Contributor to determine the satisfaction of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 5.1 and will furnish copies of all such books, records, Contracts, and documents and all financial, operating and other data, and other information as Contributor may reasonably request; provided, however, that no investigation pursuant to this Section 4.7 will affect any representations or warranties made herein or the conditions to the Parties’ obligations to consummate the Transactions. From and after the Closing Date, Mammoth will give the Contributor’s representatives reasonable access to such documentation and information and reasonable access to, and cause the cooperation of, employees of Mammoth which the Contributor may reasonably require (i) to prepare and file Tax returns and to respond to any issues which may arise with respect to Taxes for which the Contributor is responsible to the extent relating to their ownership of the Interests and (ii) to defend any claim which the Contributor is required to defend in connection with its ownership of the Interests prior to the Closing Date.

(a) During the Restricted Period, Mammoth shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through another Person, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Contributor (or any of its Affiliates other than Stingray Pressure Pumping, Stingray Logistics, Muskie or Bison) to leave his or her employment, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Contributor (or any of its Affiliates other than Stingray Pressure Pumping, Stingray Logistics, Muskie or Bison) and any such employee, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Contributor (or any of its Affiliates other than Stingray Pressure Pumping, Stingray Logistics, Muskie or Bison) at any time during the six-month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place, or (iii) with respect to business of the Contributor, call on, solicit or service any customer, charterer, lessor, vendor, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Contributor in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing or decrease their business with the Contributor or its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, charterer, lessor, vendor, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Contributor or its Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications about the Contributor or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.8 shall not prohibit (A) the employment of employees of the Contributor who solicit Mammoth for employment or (B) the solicitation of employees through general advertising (e.g., newspaper or internet), or the hiring of employees responding thereto.

(b) If, at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 4.8, a court determines that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under the circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. The Parties further agree that such court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope or geographical area permitted by Law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Restricted Period shall be extended with respect to Mammoth for a period equal to any time period that Mammoth breaches or otherwise is in violation of Section 4.8(a).

(d) If Mammoth or any of its Affiliates breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Contributor shall have the right and remedy (i) to have the restrictive covenants of this Section 4.8 specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of these restrictive covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Contributor and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Contributor; and (ii) to require Mammoth to account for and pay over to the Contributor any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Mammoth as the result of any transactions constituting the breach. Each of the rights and remedies set forth herein shall be independent of the others, severally enforceable, and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

ARTICLE 7

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification.

(a) Contributor shall indemnify and hold Mammoth and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, controlling persons, members, unitholders and similarly situated persons, harmless from and pay any and all Damages directly or indirectly, resulting from, relating to, arising out of or attributable to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty the Contributor has made in this Agreement; or (ii) any breach, violation or default by Contributor of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Contributor in this Agreement.

(b) Mammoth shall indemnify and hold the Contributor and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, controlling persons, members, stockholders and similarly situated persons, harmless from and pay any and all Damages directly or indirectly, resulting from, relating to, arising out of or attributable to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty Mammoth has made in this Agreement; or (ii) any breach, violation or default by Mammoth of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Mammoth in this Agreement.

7.2 Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) If any Action is commenced or threatened that may give rise to a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any person obligated to

-14-

indemnify an Indemnified Party (an “Indemnitor”), then such Indemnified Party will promptly give notice to the Indemnitor. Failure to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the defense of such Action is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. An Indemnitor may elect at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Indemnification Claim with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not approve of the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval (which must not be withheld unreasonably). Until an Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Indemnification Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate. If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnitor notice of an Indemnification Claim and the Indemnitor does not, within ten (10) days after such notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Indemnification Claim and thereafter promptly assume such defense, then the Indemnitor will be bound by any judicial determination made with respect to such Indemnification Claim or any compromise or settlement of such Indemnification Claim effected by the Indemnified Party.

(b) A claim for any matter not involving a third party may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.
