payable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) and which have not

satisfy any amounts that are payable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section

Section 2.6 Estimated Closing Statement; Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) As a condition to the Closing, not less than five business days prior to the Closing Date,
Sellers shall, in good faith, have prepared and delivered, or caused to be prepared and delivered
to Buyers an estimated consolidated balance sheet of OFS ES and the Subsidiaries as of the close of
business on the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with
the preparation of the Pro Forma Unaudited Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Balance
Sheet”) and a proposed statement of Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing
Statement”). Buyers shall have access at all reasonable times to review work papers, books and
records relating to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing
Statement. The Closing Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with
this Section 2.6(a) is referred to herein as the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital.”
The Estimated Closing Net Working Capital shall be subject to the reasonable and good faith
approval of Buyers.
(b) Not later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Buyers shall prepare and
deliver to Sellers an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of OFS ES and the Subsidiaries as of the
close of business on the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis
consistent with the preparation of the Pro Forma Unaudited Balance Sheet (the “Closing Balance
Sheet”) and a statement of Closing Net Working Capital (the “Closing Statement”). All
of the parties hereto shall cooperate fully with each other in the preparation of the Closing
Balance Sheet and Closing Statement, and Sellers shall have access at all reasonable times to
review work papers, books and records relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and
Closing Statement.
(c) Sellers shall have the right to dispute the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement by
giving notice of dispute to Buyers within thirty (30) days after the Closing Balance Sheet and
Closing Statement have been received by Sellers. Such notice shall set forth in detail the reasons
for the dispute and Sellers’ proposed adjustments to the Closing Balance Sheet and/or Closing
Statement. If Sellers do not give notice of dispute to Buyers within such 30-day period in
accordance with the foregoing, the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement as prepared by
Buyers shall become final and binding upon Sellers. If Sellers do give notice of dispute to Buyers
within such 30-day period, Buyers and Sellers shall endeavor in good faith to reach agreement on
all of the disputed items. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the disputed items
during a 30-day period (or such longer period as mutually agreed to by Sellers and Buyers)
following Buyers’ receipt of the dispute notice, then the disputed items which have not been
resolved shall be
-24-
submitted
to the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP, Houston, Texas (and if for any reason it is unwilling or unable to serve, then another independent
accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Sellers and Buyers) for determination and resolution on the
basis of such procedures as such accounting firm, in its sole judgment, deems applicable and
appropriate, taking into account GAAP and the terms of this Agreement. Sellers and Buyers shall
have the right to make a written submission to such accounting firm regarding the disputed items.
Such accounting firm shall review the disputed matters and as promptly as practicable deliver to
Buyers and to Sellers a statement setting forth its determination as to the proper treatment of the
matters in dispute, and such determination shall be final and binding upon Buyers and Sellers
without any further right of appeal. All charges of such accounting firm and other expenses
directly incurred in making such determination shall be borne by the party against whom the
majority of items were determined (based on amounts in dispute). The Closing Net Working Capital
as of the Closing Date as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.6(c) are referred to
herein as the “Closing Net Working Capital.”
(d) Within five (5) days after the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement become final as
provided in Section 2.6(c), the parties shall make the following adjustments:
(i) if the Closing Net Working Capital minus the Target Net Working Capital (such
difference, which may be a positive or negative number, the “Net Working Capital
Adjustment”) is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment, Buyers shall
pay to OFS ES an amount equal to such difference; or
(ii) if the Net Working Capital Adjustment is less than the Estimated Net Working
Capital Adjustment, Sellers shall pay to Key the amount of such excess.
(e) Any payment in respect of an adjustment required to be made under Section 2.6(d) will be
made by Buyers or Sellers, as applicable, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account specified by OFS ES or Key, as applicable, in writing. If any amount is due from
Sellers under Section 2.6(d)(ii), then Sellers shall be jointly and severally responsible for the
payment obligations under Section 2.6(d)(ii). Any payment made in respect of an adjustment
required to be made under Section 2.6(d) shall be deemed to be, and Buyers and Sellers shall treat
such payment as, an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income
Tax purposes.
Section 2.7 Tax Treatment; Allocation of Purchase Price.
(a) The Buyers and Sellers intend that for federal and applicable state income tax purposes
that the acquisition of the Equity Interests be treated as a purchase of the assets of each
Subsidiary as each Subsidiary is an entity disregarded for federal income tax purposes.
(b) Not later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyers shall prepare a
schedule allocating the Purchase Price and other amounts paid by Buyers to Sellers among the assets
included in the Purchased Assets, including the non-solicitation covenant in Section 5.21, in a
manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations (the
“Draft Purchase Price Allocation”). Sellers shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of
the Draft Purchase Price Allocation to provide Buyers with written notice of any objections to such
allocation. If Sellers do not provide written notice of any objections within such 15-day period,
-25-
the Draft Purchase Price Allocation shall become final (the “Final Purchase Price
Allocation”). If Sellers provide written notice of any objections to the Draft Purchase Price
Allocation within such 15-day period, Sellers and Buyers shall negotiate in good faith to agree
upon a revised allocation, and any such agreed upon allocation shall become the Final Purchase
Price Allocation. If Sellers and Buyers cannot agree upon a revised allocation within thirty (30)
days following Sellers’ written notice of any objections to the Draft Purchase Price Allocation,
then Buyers shall engage the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP, Houston, Texas (and if for any
reason it is unwilling or unable to serve, then another independent accounting firm mutually agreed
upon by Sellers and Buyers) to resolve such dispute. Such accounting firm shall review the disputed
matters and as promptly as practicable deliver to Buyers and Sellers a statement setting forth its
determination as to the proper treatment of the matters in dispute, and such determination shall
constitute the Final Purchase Price Allocation and shall be final and binding upon Buyers and
Sellers without any further right of appeal. All charges of such accounting firm and other expenses
directly incurred in making such determination shall be borne by the party against whom the
majority of items were determined (based on amounts in dispute). The Final Purchase Price
Allocation shall be binding on Sellers and Buyers for Tax purposes and each shall file their Tax
Returns, in a manner consistent with such allocation and not take any contrary position in any Tax
Return, audit or examination. If, subsequent to the Closing, any change in the consideration
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1060-1(e)(ii)(B), including the Net Working
Capital Adjustment and release of the Holdback Shares, Sellers and Buyers shall allocate such
change among the assets included in the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with this Section
2.7(b), including the dispute resolution process contained herein. All Key Shares shall be valued
in accordance with Section 7.2(i), and any imputed interest with respect to the Holdback Shares
shall be treated as interest and not part of the Purchase Price.
Section 2.8 Certain Costs, Fees and Expenses.
Buyers and Sellers shall each pay and otherwise be responsible for one-half of all filing fees
required in connection with filing of the Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act. Buyers
shall pay and otherwise be responsible for any sales, use, transfer, value added (to the extent not
creditable), stock, documentary and real property transfer Tax or similar Taxes and all recording
and filing fees that may be imposed, assessed against or incurred by either party to this Agreement
as a result of the Transaction; provided that the parties to this Agreement shall fully cooperate
with each other to minimize the aggregate amounts that would otherwise be payable under this
Section 2.8.
Section 2.9 Receipts After Closing.
After the Closing, Sellers may receive funds, proceeds, contributions, refunds, rebates,
payments or receipts that are attributable to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and
are properly allocable to Buyers under the terms of this Agreement. Sellers agree to remit or
cause to be remitted any of the foregoing to Buyers promptly upon receipt. Buyers agree to remit
to Sellers promptly upon Buyers’ receipt, any funds, proceeds, contributions, rebates, payments or
receipts that are attributable to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities and are properly
allocable to Sellers under the terms of this Agreement. After Closing, Sellers will promptly
forward to Buyers any mail or other communications received by Sellers relating to the Purchased
Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, and Buyers will promptly forward to Sellers any mail or other
communications received by Buyers relating to the Excluded Assets or the Retained Liabilities.

employees of the members of the Seller Group, to allow Buyers a full opportunity to make such
investigations as are reasonably necessary to analyze the affairs of the members of the Seller
Group and shall furnish to Buyers or their authorized representatives such additional information
concerning the assets of the members of the Seller Group as shall be reasonably requested,
including all such information as shall be reasonably necessary to enable Buyers or their
representatives to verify the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement, to verify that the covenants of Sellers contained in this Agreement have been complied

representatives in accordance with, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Confidentiality
Agreement.

in relation to the Transferred Real Property, environmental investigations and other sampling
(including subsurface investigations and other sampling) to be proposed on a site-by-site basis and
SWD testing (“Site Assessment”) using reputable professionals previously approved by
Sellers, provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Sellers.
(i) All Site Assessments of the Transferred Real Property by Buyers and their
respective representatives shall, if requested by Sellers, be conducted in the presence of a
representative of Sellers, and shall be conducted at Buyers’ sole cost and expense. Buyers
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers from and against all costs, loss, damage,
liability and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, relating to or arising from the
activities conducted by Buyers or their respective representatives pursuant to this Section
5.1(d);
(ii) Buyers shall not conduct any Site Assessment at any Transferred Real Property
prior to providing Sellers with a written description of the proposed environmental testing,
and a reasonable period of time (not to exceed three (3) business days) to provide comments,
which Buyers agree to consider in good faith, provided that approval to conduct the proposed
environmental testing shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Sellers. For any
Site Assessment sampling, Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to receive
split samples;

the Real Property; for the Leased Real Property, Sellers will reasonably cooperate with
Buyers in contacting the owners of the Leased Real Property directly to attempt to arrange
for access for the purposes of conducting Site Assessments;
(iv) Unless and until Closing occurs, unless otherwise required by Environmental Law,
Buyers will not disclose any results of its Site Assessments to any Government Authority;

must comply with Sellers’ written environmental and safety rules and policies at any Real

intend to assert as Specified Pre-Closing Environmental Matters, (B) a description of the
matter constituting the alleged Environmental Condition or SWD Defect, (C) supporting
documents available to Buyers reasonably necessary for Sellers to verify the existence of
the alleged Environmental Condition or SWD Defect, and (D) a proposed Remedial Action to
address the Environmental Condition or SWD Defect (including an associated cost estimate,

purposes of Sellers’ indemnification obligations with respect to the Specified Pre-Closing
Environmental Matters).
Section 5.2 Reasonable Efforts.

of any issues that may arise in the course of the HSR Act review process to ensure the expiration
of the applicable HSR Act

divestiture, hold-separate, business limitation or similar agreement or undertaking in connection
with this Agreement or the Transaction, or institute or defend any litigation or other legal
proceeding, whether judicial or administrative, including seeking to have any stay or temporary
restraining order vacated or reversed.
Section 5.3 Further Assurances.
From time to time following the Closing, Sellers shall execute and deliver to Buyers such
other instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyers may reasonably request or as may be
otherwise necessary to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to, and vest in, Buyers and put
Buyers in possession of, any part of the Purchased Assets, any assets of the Subsidiaries or any
other assets owned by any member of the Seller Group or any of their affiliates that comprise a
part of the Business, and Key Texas shall execute and deliver to Sellers such other instruments of

(other than Permitted Encumbrances);
(o) not (i) amend or modify any Contract, Lease or Permit listed in any section of the
Disclosure Schedule, or (ii) enter into any Contract that (A) would have been required to be set
forth in Section 3.9(a) of the Disclosure Schedule if in effect on the date of this Agreement, (B)
would obligate any member of the Seller Group or the Business to expend amounts in excess of
$100,000 in the aggregate annually, or (C) is not in the Ordinary Course;
(p) without limiting the generality of Section 5.4(o) above, not enter into any Lease,

the Subsidiaries with customers, suppliers and others having business relations with any of them.
Section 5.6 Public Announcements.
Neither Sellers nor Buyers shall make, or permit any agent or affiliate to make, any public
statements, including any press releases, with respect to this Agreement or the Transaction without
the prior written consent of the other party hereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably

Section 5.7 No Implied Representation.
EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, BUYERS AGREE THAT SELLERS MAKE NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED (A) AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE
PURCHASED ASSETS, (B) AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR ANY PART THEREOF, (C) AS TO THE
CONDITION OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS, (D) AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFECTS IN THE

PROJECTIONS OR OTHER PREDICTIONS CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO IN ANY OF THE OFFERING MEMORANDA,
MANAGEMENT PRESENTATIONS OR OTHER MATERIALS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO BUYERS ARE NOT AND SHALL NOT

-59-
EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, SELLERS AGREE THAT BUYERS MAKE NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED (A) AS TO KEY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES, OPERATIONS, ASSETS,
LIABILITIES, CONDITIONS (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE) OR PROSPECTS OR (B) AS TO ANY OTHER MATTER.

Section 5.8 Construction of Certain Provisions.
It is understood and agreed that the specification of any dollar amount in the representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure
Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so
included or other items, are or are not material, and no party hereto shall use the fact of the
setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Disclosure Schedule in
any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not
described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this
Agreement.
Section 5.9 Assignment of Contracts.
To the extent the assignment of any insurance policy, Contract, Lease, Permit, commitment or
other asset to be assigned by Sellers to Buyers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall
require the consent of any other person, this Agreement shall not constitute a contract to assign
the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or give rise to any right of
acceleration or termination. If any such consent is not obtained prior to Closing, Sellers shall
cooperate with Buyers at their request in endeavoring to obtain such consent promptly, and if any
such consent is unobtainable, to use its reasonable efforts to secure to Buyers the benefits
thereof in some other manner, including enforcement of any and all rights of Sellers against the
other party thereto arising out of breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise
(including, to the extent permissible, through a sub-contracting, sub-licensing, sub-participation
or sub-leasing arrangement, or an arrangement under which Sellers would enforce such insurance
policy, Contract, Lease, Permit, commitment or other asset for the benefit of Buyers, with Buyers,
to the extent permissible, assuming Sellers’ executory obligations and any and all rights of
Sellers against the other party thereto); provided that nothing herein shall relieve Sellers of
their respective obligations under Section 5.2.
-60-
Section 5.10 Post-Closing Cooperation.
(a) Records. During the Access Period, Buyers shall maintain all Business Records of the
Subsidiaries in a reasonably accessible location. Buyers shall notify Sellers prior to disposing
of any such Business Records after the Access Period has expired and, upon request made by either
Seller within 60 days after receipt of such notice, Buyers shall deliver such Business Records to
such Seller, at such Seller’s expense; provided that Buyers’ obligations under this Section 5.10(a)
shall expire on the date beginning 60 days after such Seller’s receipt of such notice unless such
Seller has requested such Business Records within such 60-day period. In the absence of bad faith
or willful misconduct, Buyers will not have any liability arising out of or in connection with its
retention and handling of such Business Records.
(b) Access. For a period of three years after the Closing Date, in recognition of Sellers’
obligations under this Agreement and the other reasonable needs of Sellers, after the Closing,
Buyers shall, and shall cause the Subsidiaries to (i) afford the officers, employees and authorized
agents and representatives of Sellers access, during normal business hours, to their offices,
properties and Business Records of the Subsidiaries, (ii) furnish to the officers, employees and
authorized agents and representatives of Sellers such additional financial and other information
regarding the Subsidiaries and the Business for the period prior to the Closing as Buyers and the
Subsidiaries each has in its possession and as Sellers may from time to time reasonably request,
and (iii) make available, at Sellers’ expense, the employees of Buyers whose assistance, testimony
or presence is necessary to assist Sellers in evaluation of and in defending any Tax or other claim
or litigation against Sellers, including assuring the presence of such persons as witnesses in
hearings or trials; provided that Buyers shall be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with clauses (ii) and (iii) above.
Section 5.11 Right to Update.
From and after the date hereof until the earlier of three (3) days prior to the Closing or the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sellers shall have the right (but not
any obligation) to update or amend in any respect its disclosure of any matter set forth or
permitted to be set forth in the Disclosure Schedule if such matter arises (or, in the case of
matters for which such Sellers’ disclosure obligation is limited to the knowledge of Sellers, is
discovered) after the date hereof. No such update or amendment shall (a) be considered or given
effect for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions of Buyers set forth in
Article VI, (b) affect in any respect Buyers’ rights of termination and waiver set forth in Article
VIII or (c) affect in any respect Buyers’ right or claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise, including pursuant to Article VII hereof, with respect to such disclosures.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such updates or amendments (y) would permit Buyers to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) and (z) Buyers do not do so and the Closing shall occur,
then Buyers shall be deemed to have waived any right or claim pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or otherwise, including pursuant to Article VII hereof, with respect to such disclosures.
-61-
Section 5.12 Tax Matters.
(a) Liability. Except as provided in Section 2.8 and this Section 5.12 and pursuant to
Article VII, Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Party against all
Taxes applicable to the Business and the Subsidiaries that are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax
Period to the extent they exceed any reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for
deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) reflected in
the Pro Forma Unaudited Balance Sheet (the “Seller Indemnified Tax Liabilities”). Buyers
shall be liable for and pay, and pursuant to Article VII shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers
against all Taxes applicable to the Business and the Subsidiaries that are attributable to all
Post-Closing Tax Periods (the “Buyer Indemnified Tax Liabilities”). For purposes of this
Section 5.12, any Overlap Period shall be treated on a “closing of the books” basis as two partial
periods, one ending at the close of business on the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day
after the Closing Date, except that Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, such as ad valorem Taxes,
shall be allocated on a daily basis. Any franchise or similar Tax paid or incurred with respect to
a Subsidiary shall be allocated to the period in which the gross receipt, gross margin, earned
surplus, assets, capital or other item comprising the base for such Tax arose, and not to the
privilege or other period of doing business funded by such Tax. Thus, for the avoidance of doubt,
all Texas franchise Tax attributable to the sale of the Business and for operations on or before
the Closing Date shall be borne exclusively by the Sellers.
(b) Reimbursement. Sellers or Buyers, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any
Tax paid by one party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other party in
accordance with the terms of this Section 5.12. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of
any such Tax, the party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and
the portion which is the liability of each party, although failure to do so will not relieve the
other party from its liability hereunder.
(c) Tax Returns for Periods Ending On or Prior to Closing Date. Sellers shall prepare or
cause to be prepared, and Buyers shall file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the
Subsidiaries for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are due after the Closing
Date. Except to the extent otherwise required by law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a
basis consistent with the past practices of such entities. Sellers shall permit Buyers to review
and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence no less than 20 days prior
to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Buyers.
(d) Tax Returns for Overlap Period Taxes. Buyers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and
shall file or cause to be filed all Overlap Period Tax Returns of the Subsidiaries. Except to the
extent otherwise required by law, all Tax Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 5.12(d) shall
be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practices of such entities. Buyers shall permit
Sellers to review and comment on each such Tax Return no less than 30 days prior to filing and
shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers.
-62-
(e) Cooperation. After the Closing Date, and upon reasonable written request of the other
party, Sellers and Buyers will provide each other with such cooperation and information as
such parties may reasonably request in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for
refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or
conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information
shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with
accompanying schedules and related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other
determinations by Tax Authorities, but in no event shall the parties be required to disclose to
each other any information relating to their business operations other than the operation of the
Business prior to the Closing Date. Each party shall make its employees available on a mutually
convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Any
information provided or obtained under this Section 5.12 shall be kept confidential, except as may
otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in
conducting an audit or other Tax Proceeding.
(f) Information. Each party shall provide the other with the requisite information reasonably
requested by the other party to allow the preparation of any federal, foreign, state and local
income Tax Returns for Tax Periods prior to and including the Closing Date. Such information shall
be provided, in the Tax information reporting format customarily used by Sellers, on or before 60
days, to the extent reasonably practicable, after the Closing Date.
(g) Notification. The parties (as appropriate) shall promptly notify each other in writing
upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the
Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.
(h) Tax Proceeding. If a Tax Authority commences any audit, examination, litigation or
otherwise makes any claim or proposes any adjustment that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period
(other than an Overlap Period) (collectively, a “Tax Proceeding”), then Buyers shall
promptly furnish written notice to Sellers of such Tax Proceeding and, if Buyers are seeking an
indemnity under Article VII, a Claim Notice. Sellers shall have the shorter of (i) 45 days after
receipt of such notice or (ii) 15 days less than the number of days before a response to the
relevant Tax Authority is required, but in no event shall Sellers have less than 15 days, to decide
whether to undertake, conduct and control (through counsel of its own choosing and at its own
expense) the response to such Tax Proceeding and the settlement or defense thereof, and Buyers and
the Subsidiaries shall cooperate with Sellers in connection therewith. Sellers shall permit Buyers
and the Subsidiaries to participate in such response, settlement or defense through counsel chosen
by Buyers (but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by Buyers or their affiliates).
To the extent any settlement adversely affects Buyers or any Subsidiary in a Post-Closing Tax
Period, Sellers shall not pay or settle any such claim without the prior written consent of Buyers
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If within the shorter
of (x) 45 days after the receipt of Buyers’ notice of a Tax Proceeding or (y) 15 days less than the
number of days before a response to the relevant Tax Authority is required (but in no event less
than 15 days), Sellers do not notify Buyers that Sellers elect (at their cost and expense) to
undertake the defense thereof, or give such notice and thereafter fail to contest such claim in
good faith or to prevent action to foreclose a lien against or attachment of Buyers’ property as
contemplated above, then Buyers shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise such Tax
Proceeding and Buyers shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity for such Tax Proceeding under
this Agreement; provided that Buyers shall not, and shall cause the Subsidiaries not to, pay or
settle any such Tax Proceedings without the prior written
consent of Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). However,
Buyers shall not be obligated to file or assist with the preparation of any amended Tax Return for
any Pre Closing Tax Period or any Overlap Period, and Sellers shall not file an amended Tax Return
for any Subsidiary (other than federal income Tax Returns that include the operations of the
Subsidiaries) without the Buyers’ prior written consent which may be withheld in Buyers’ sole
discretion.
-63-
(i) Overlap Period Tax Proceeding. If a Tax Authority commences any audit, examination,
litigation, or otherwise makes any claim or proposes any adjustment that relates to an Overlap
Period (collectively, an “Overlap Period Tax Proceeding”), then Buyers shall promptly
furnish written notice to Sellers of such Overlap Period Tax Proceeding and, if Buyers are seeking
indemnity under Article VII, a Claim Notice. Buyers shall undertake, conduct and control (through
counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense) the response to such Overlap Period Tax
Proceeding and the settlement or defense thereof. Sellers and their respective affiliates shall
cooperate with Buyers in connection therewith, and Buyers shall permit Sellers to participate in
such response, settlement or defense through counsel chosen by Sellers (but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be paid by Sellers). To the extent any settlement adversely effects Sellers
in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyers shall not pay or settle any such claim without the prior
written consent of Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). If within the shorter of (x) 45 days after the receipt of Buyers’ notice of an Overlap
Period Tax Proceeding or (y) 15 days less than the number of days before a response to the relevant
Tax Authority is required (but in no event less than 15 days), Buyers fail to contest such claim in
good faith or to prevent action to foreclose a lien against or attachment of Buyers’ property as
contemplated above, then Sellers shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise such Overlap
Period Tax Proceeding and Sellers shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity for such Overlap
Period Tax Proceeding under this Agreement; provided, that Sellers shall not pay or settle any such
Overlap Period Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Buyers (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 5.13 Employees.
(a) General.
(i) Effective upon the Closing and except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.13(a) of
the Disclosure Schedule, Buyers will, or cause Subsidiaries to, (x) offer or continue to
employ all of the Seller Group’s salaried and hourly employees who are actively at work in
the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date and (y) offer or continue to employ any
employee who is on short-term medical leave, any disability leave, or other leave of absence
on the Closing Date, in each case, subject to such terms and conditions of employment as
Buyers shall determine and subject to Buyers’ hiring practices and procedures. Sellers will
provide Buyers access to all of the Seller Group’s salaried and hourly employees at least 20
days prior to Closing for purposes of implementing the matters set forth in this Section
5.13. Such employees of the Seller Group who are employed by Buyers or the Subsidiaries
after the Closing shall be referred to as “Transferring Employees.” Employees or
independent contractors of the Seller Group who terminate employment or services with any of
the Subsidiaries or Sellers on or before the Closing Date are referred to as “Former
Employees.”
-64-
(ii) Effective upon the Closing, Key Texas shall, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, assume or the Subsidiaries shall retain the Sellers’ Benefit Plans sponsored and
maintained by the Seller Group related to the Business listed in Schedule 2.3(d) and Section
3.10(p) of the Disclosure Schedule. In addition, except for obligations and liabilities
with respect to WARN, Key Texas shall assume or the Subsidiaries shall retain, all
employment, compensation or benefit obligations and liabilities with respect to Former
Employees and Transferring Employees (collectively, the “Employees”), without regard
to whether such obligations result from claims incurred or related to events occurring
before or after the Closing Date, other than Sellers’ liabilities in Schedule 2.4(g).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Key Texas shall not assume any such liabilities with respect
to Former Employees who were solely employees or independent contractors of the Sellers
(including such persons listed in Section 3.10(m) of the Disclosure Schedule).
(iii) Buyers will have sole responsibility for any obligations or liabilities to the
Transferring Employees under WARN for all the members of the Seller Group’s locations, and
Buyers agree to hold Sellers harmless for same. Buyers’ indemnification of Sellers in this
regard specifically includes any claim by Transferring Employees for back pay, front pay,
benefits, or compensatory or punitive damages, any claim by any governmental unit for
penalties regarding any issue of prior notification (or any lack thereof) of any plant
closing or mass layoff occurring on or after the Closing Date; provided that Sellers
acknowledge and agree that the Buyers’ obligation under this Section 5.13(a)(iii) is made in
express reliance on the Sellers representations and warranties in Section 3.10(a)(x), and
the Buyers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties under this
Section 5.13(a)(iii) if such representations and warranties are not true and correct in all
respects.
(b) Transferring Employees.
(i) Nothing contained in this Section 5.13(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall
require Buyers (or the Subsidiaries) to continue any Buyer Plan or Sellers’ Benefit Plan
after the Closing. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the
termination of employment of any Transferring Employee or any change in the employee
benefits available to any Transferring Employee or the amendment or termination of any
particular Buyer Plan or Sellers’ Benefit Plan.
(ii) Subject to Section 5.13(b)(i) above, Buyers will provide Transferring Employees
with benefits under Buyer Plans (including any Sellers’ Benefit Plan continued by
Subsidiaries or assumed by Key Texas) substantially comparable to the benefits provided to
similarly situated employees of Buyers, if any, otherwise as determined by Buyers in their
sole discretion. Buyers shall cause each Buyer Plan to count service, as recognized by the
Seller Group under the Sellers’ Benefit Plans prior to Closing, for purposes of eligibility
to participate, vesting or benefit determination, to the same extent service was recognized
on behalf of Transferring Employees under analogous Sellers’ Benefit Plans, except where
such service recognition causes a duplication of benefits and except with respect to any
defined benefit pension plan of Buyers or any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA. Buyers
will give credit to Transferring
Employees for earned but unused vacation and accrued vacation under Sellers’ Benefit
Plans determined as of the Closing Date.
-65-
(iii) With respect to the Sellers Severance Plan, for any Transferring Employees
participating in the Hourly Severance Plan at Closing, Buyers agree to continue (or to cause
Subsidiaries) to provide any and all severance benefits set forth in and under the terms of
the Hourly Severance Plan or a similar plan or program of Buyers to such Transferring
Employees for a period of six months following the Closing, and for any Transferring
Employees participating in the Salaried/Office Severance Plan, the Field Employees
Severance/Retention Plan, or the Houston Employees Severance/Retention Plan at Closing,
Buyers agree to provide any and all severance benefits and any remaining retention benefits
set forth in and under the terms of the Salaried/Office Severance Plan, the Field Employees
Severance/Retention Plan, the Houston Employee Severance/Retention Plan or a similar plan or
program of Buyers to such Transferring Employees for a period of 12 months following
Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Transferring Employee is terminated after
Closing for failure to satisfy Buyers’ hiring practices and procedures, Buyers shall not be
obligated to provide such Transferring Employee with severance benefits or retention
benefits under any Sellers Severance Plan or any similar plan or program of Buyers. Sellers
agree to reimburse Buyers, promptly upon written request (but in no later than seven (7)
business days of such request), for any amounts paid by Buyers to the Transferred Employees
pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Houston Employee Severance/Retention Plan or a similar plan
or program of Buyers.
(iv) In the event that a Transferring Employee makes a voluntary election pursuant to
Section 401(a)(31) of the Code to rollover such Transferring Employee’s account balance in
the OFS Holdings 401(k) Plan (the “Sellers’ 401(k) Plan”) to a tax-qualified defined
contribution plan sponsored by the Buyers or any of their affiliates, the Buyers agree to
cause such tax-qualified defined contribution plan to accept such rollover to the extent
permitted by law; provided that no Sellers’ 401(k) Plan loans to any Transferring Employee
may be transferred to a tax-qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Buyers.
(c) COBRA. Sellers shall retain all obligations and liabilities under COBRA or similar state
law with respect to any qualified beneficiaries or qualifying events prior to Closing and with
respect to any M&A qualified beneficiary for employees (and their respective dependents) who were
employees of Sellers and who were not also employees of any Subsidiary. Sellers shall retain all
obligations and liabilities under WARN with respect to Former Employees.
(d) Obligations. It is intended by the parties that the responsibilities, liabilities, and
covenants assumed or agreed to by Buyers pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall also bind any
affiliate of Buyers to which all or any portion of the Business is transferred, and Buyers agree to
cause any such affiliate to observe the provisions and covenants of this Section 5.13.
-66-
(e) Transaction Bonus Plan. For a period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending
one-year after Closing, without the prior written consent of Key, Sellers
agree not to amend or modify the transaction bonus plan and the individual award agreements
identified on Schedule 5.13(e) in a manner that would increase or decrease, or accelerate or delay
the payment of, the benefits thereunder, except for such amendments or modifications as may be
required to provide for the payment of separate bonuses at Closing related to Quail Nuclear
Specialty Services, LLC, a Texas limited liability company.
(f) Reporting Requirements. Sellers and Buyers hereby agree to utilize the “Alternate
Procedure” set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53, Section 5.01, 2004-2 CB 320, or a corresponding
future revenue procedure or other administrative pronouncement, with regard to the reporting
requirements attributable to wages paid or to be paid to Transferring Employees.
(g) No Third Party Rights. No Employee including any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any
other person not a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder.
(h) Costs. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.13, where this Section 5.13
requires a party to take any action or perform any task, the party obligated to take such action or
perform such task shall be responsible for all fees, costs and other expenses incurred for, and
related to, such actions or tasks.
Section 5.14 Repayment of Indebtedness; Release of Liens.
Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause the Subsidiaries
to, discharge or cause to be discharged, all Closing Date Indebtedness of OFS ES and the
Subsidiaries (including any prepayment penalties and costs associated therewith), and cause the
release of all Encumbrances securing such Indebtedness.
Section 5.15 Title Insurance and Survey.
With respect to all Real Property and Material Leased Property, if requested by Buyers,
Sellers shall use, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to use, their commercially reasonable efforts
to assist Buyers in obtaining (a) title insurance commitments for each parcel of Real Property and
Material Leased Property and ALTA/ACSM title insurance policies in accordance with the title
insurance commitments, in each case from a nationally recognized title insurance company,
(including any commercially reasonable affidavits such title insurance company might require); and
(b) a survey for each parcel of Real Property and Material Leased Property conforming to the
minimum standard detail requirements jointly established in 1999 by ALTA and ACSM, including any
Table A items reasonably requested by Buyers.
Section 5.16 Intercompany Arrangements.
(a) Except for the intercompany trade receivables and payables set forth on Schedule 5.16
(which schedule shall be updated at Closing to reflect changes thereto that were incurred in the
Ordinary Course from the date hereof to the Closing Date), prior to the Closing, Sellers shall, and
shall cause their respective affiliates to, take such action and make such payments as may be
necessary so that, prior to or concurrently with the Closing, the Subsidiaries, on the one hand,
and Sellers and their respective affiliates (excluding the Subsidiaries), on the other hand, shall
settle, discharge, offset, pay or repay in full all intercompany loans, notes, and advances
regardless of their maturity and all intercompany receivables and payables for the amount due,
including any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of payment; provided, however,
that if each such item is not paid in full in cash, the method of discharge must be reasonably
satisfactory to Buyers.
-67-
(b) Except as otherwise agreed by Sellers and Buyers, Sellers shall, and shall cause their
respective affiliates to, take such actions as may be necessary to terminate prior to or
concurrently with the Closing all agreements between the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Sellers
and their respective affiliates (excluding the Subsidiaries), on the other hand, such that none of
the Subsidiaries has or will have any liabilities or obligations under any such agreement as of the
Closing Date.
Section 5.17 Listing of the Key Shares.
Prior to the Closing, Key shall prepare and submit to the New York Stock Exchange a subsequent
listing application covering all of the Key Shares, and shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain approval for the listing of such Key Shares.
Section 5.18 Registration of the Key Shares.
(a) Shelf Registration Rights. After the Closing, Key shall no later than 90 days after the
Closing Date (with such 90-day period being extended by such additional number of days attributable
to any delay caused by any act or any failure to act by any of the Holders or their counsel),
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form, provided
that if Key is not eligible to use Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement, then
Key shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 or any successor form
(the “Shelf Registration Statement”), covering the resale by the Holders, from time to
time, of the Key Shares and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration
Statement to be declared effective as soon as practical thereafter under the Securities Act;
provided, however, that Key shall not be obligated to file such Shelf Registration Statement, or
keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective pursuant to Section 5.18(c)(i), during any
Black-out Period;
(b) Piggyback Registration Rights
(i) Piggyback Registration. If after the date that is one (1) year after the
Closing Date, Key shall determine to register the offer and sale for cash of any of the Key
Common Stock for its own account, other than (A) a registration relating solely to employee
benefit plans or securities issued or issuable to employees, consultants (to the extent the
securities owned or to be owned by such consultants could be registered on Form S-8) or any
of their Family Members (including a registration on Form S-8), (B) a registration on Form
S-4 in connection with a merger, acquisition, divestiture, reorganization, exchange offer or
similar event, or (C) a registration in which the only Key Common Stock being registered is
Key Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered,
then (subject to Section 5.18(b)(iii)) Key shall promptly give to the Holders written notice
thereof, and in no event shall such notice be given less than 10 days prior to the filing of
the registration
-68-
statement (each a “Piggyback Registration Statement”) with respect to such registration (each a
“Piggyback Registration”), and shall, subject to Section 5.18(b)(ii) and Section
5.18(b)(iii), include in such Piggyback Registration, all of the Key Shares specified in a
written request or requests, made within 5 days after receipt of such written notice from
Key, by any Holder or Holders. However, Key may, without the consent of the Holders,
withdraw such Piggyback Registration Statement prior to its becoming effective if Key has
elected to abandon the proposal to register the securities proposed to be registered
thereby.
(ii) Underwriting. If a Piggyback Registration is for a registered public
offering involving an underwriting, Key shall so advise the Holders in writing or as a part
of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5.18(b)(i). In such event the right of any
Holder to registration pursuant to Section 5.18(b)(i) shall be conditioned upon such
Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Key Shares in
the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting shall (together with Key) enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by Key. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.18(b)(ii), if the
underwriter or Key determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of
shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may exclude some or all Key Shares from such
registration and underwriting. Key shall so advise all Holders (except those Holders who
failed to timely elect to distribute their Key Shares through such underwriting or have
indicated to Key their decision not to do so), and the number of Key Shares that may be
included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated: (A) first to Key; and (B)
then to all selling stockholders, including the Holders, who have requested to sell in the
registration on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included.
No Key Shares excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing
limitation shall be included in such registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of
any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to Key
and the underwriter. The Key Shares and/or other securities so withdrawn from such
underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration; provided, however, that, if by
the withdrawal of such Key Shares a greater number of Key Shares held by other Holders may
be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the
underwriters), then Key shall offer to all Holders who have included Key Shares in the
registration the right to include additional Key Shares pursuant to the terms and
limitations set forth herein in the same proportion used above in determining the
underwriter limitation.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.18(b), Key
shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to
Section 5.18(b) after Key has initiated one (1) such registration (counting for this purpose
only a registration which has been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which
securities have been sold).
-69-
(c) Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration, qualification, or compliance
effected by Key pursuant to Section 5.18(a) and Section 5.18(b), Key will keep each
Holder including securities therein reasonably advised in writing (which may include e-mail)
as to the initiation of each registration, qualification, and compliance and as to the completion
thereof. In addition, Key hereby agrees as follows with respect to each Registration Statement:
(i) to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith (the
“Prospectus”) (and all applicable reports required by the Exchange Act and reports
incorporated therein by reference, each on a timely basis) as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement current, effective and free from any material misstatement or
omission to state a material fact for a period ending on the date that is, with respect to
each of the Key Shares, the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii)
the date on which all of the Key Shares have been sold under the Registration Statement or
(iii) the date on which all of the Key Shares may be immediately sold by all Holders without
registration, and without restriction as to the number of securities to be sold, pursuant to
Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in force under applicable
securities laws);
(ii) so long as a Holder holds Key Shares, to provide a reasonable number of copies to
and permit single legal counsel designated by OFS ES to review the Registration Statement
and Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, no fewer than two (2) business
days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any Registration Statement or
Prospectus amendment or supplement thereto which a Holder reasonably objects in writing
within such two (2) business day period;
(iii) to furnish to the Holders with respect to the Key Shares registered under the
Registration Statement such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus, including any
supplements and amendments thereto, promptly following the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement and from time to time upon request thereafter in order to facilitate
the sale of Key Shares under the Registration Statement;
(iv) to immediately notify each Holder of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for such purpose;
(v) to make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment;
(vi) to, as soon as practicable, notify each Holder of the existence of any fact which
results in the Registration Statement, any amendment or post-effective amendment thereto,
the Prospectus, or any prospectus supplement (including in each case any document
incorporated therein by reference) containing an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading and shall (except during a Black-out Period) prepare a
supplement or post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or the Prospectus or
any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Key Shares, the
Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided that this
clause (vi) shall in no way limit Key’s right to suspend the right of the Holders to effect
sales under the Registration Statement during any Black-out Period as specified in Section
5.19(d);
-70-
(vii) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Key Shares
under such securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder reasonably
requests and to do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in all such jurisdictions of
the Key Shares owned by such Holder; provided, however, that Key shall not be required to
(A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this clause (vii), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction, or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; and
(viii) to bear all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Key, OFS ES and the Holders in
connection with the procedures in paragraphs (i) through (viii) of this Section 5.18(c) and the
registration of the Key Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than selling brokerage
fees, commissions and taxes incurred by the Holders, if any, and the fees and expenses of legal
counsel and other advisors of OFS ES and the Holders.
Section 5.19 Resales by Holders.
(a) Except for transfers to Permitted Transferees, OFS ES agrees, and will cause each
Permitted Transferee to agree, not to (A) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or
enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the
disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any of the Key Shares, or announce any
intention to do any of the foregoing, or (B) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership
of the Key Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be
settled by delivery of the Key Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise (the
“Lock-Up”), for a period commencing at the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 180
days after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”). Upon the expiration of the Lock-Up
Period, the Holders may sell or dispose of their Key Shares only in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and pursuant to (A) a registration statement covering Key Shares as set forth in
Section 5.18, (B) in accordance with Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force under
applicable securities laws) of the Securities Act, (C) as permitted under the Securities Act and
other applicable federal or state securities laws or (D) pursuant to an underwritten offering.
Following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, no later than three (3) business days after
the delivery by a Holder to Key or its transfer agent (with notice to Key) of a legended
certificate or instrument representing the Key Shares held by such Holder (endorsed or with stock
powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance
and/or transfer of such Key Shares) and a customary Rule 144 representation letter confirming
acquisition date and affiliate status, Key shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a
certificate or instrument (as the case may be) representing such Key Shares that is free from all
restrictive legends.
-71-
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.19, with respect to
each Equity Securities Offering conducted after the Closing Date, the following provisions of this
Section 5.19(b) shall apply, if the underwriters or initial purchasers retained by Key to
facilitate such offering request, in connection with such offering, that the officers or directors
or significant stockholders of Key refrain from selling any Relevant Security during any period:
(i) Without the prior written consent of Key, during the Market Standoff Period
applicable to such Equity Securities Offering, each Holder will not (A) offer for sale,
sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is
designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in
the future of) any of the Key Shares, or announce any intention to do any of the foregoing,
or (B) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in
whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of the Key Shares,
whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by
delivery of the Key Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however,
that a transfer to a Permitted Transferee will not be subject to this Section 5.19(b).
(ii) Furthermore, each Holder hereby authorizes Key during the Market Standoff Period
to cause any transfer agent for the Key Shares to decline to transfer, and to note stop
transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, any Key Shares
for which such Holder is the record holder and, in the case of Key Shares for which such
Holder is the beneficial owner but not the record holder, agrees during the Market Standoff
Period to cause the record holder thereof to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to
transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records
relating to, such Key Shares.
(c) OFS ES agrees, and will cause each Permitted Transferee to agree, that it will comply with
the requirement under the Securities Act of delivering the most current Prospectus in connection
with any sale of Key Shares made under the Registration Statement.
(d) OFS ES hereby covenants, and will cause each Permitted Transferee to covenant, that it
will not sell any Key Shares pursuant to the Prospectus during the period commencing at the time at
which Key gives such Holder notice of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
5.18(c)(vi) or of the beginning of a Black-out Period until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.18(c)(vi) or notice of the end of
the Black-out Period, and, if so directed by Key, such Holder shall deliver to Key (at Key’s
expense) all copies (including any and all drafts), other than permanent file copies, then in such
Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Key Shares current at the time of receipt of
such notice.
(e) OFS ES shall notify, and shall cause each Permitted Transferee to notify, Key at least two
business days prior to the date on which it intends to commence effecting any resales of Key Shares
under a Registration Statement and if Key does not, within such two day period, advise such Holder
of the existence of any facts of the type referred to in Section 5.18(c)(vi),
then Key shall be deemed to have represented to such Holder that no such facts then exist and
such Holders may rely on such representation in making such sales.
-72-
(f) OFS ES may furnish, and each Permitted Transferee may furnish, to Key such information
required under Regulation S-K under the Securities Act regarding it and its proposed plan of
distribution as shall be requested by Key in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement and will promptly notify Key of any changes in such information. No Holder of Key Shares
will be entitled to have such Key Shares included in the Registration Statement if such Holder does
not furnish such information requested by Key.
(g) Key and OFS ES hereby agree, and OFS ES shall cause each Permitted Transferee to agree,
from and after the Closing to indemnify one another with respect to the resale of Key Shares
pursuant to the provisions set forth in Exhibit C.
(h) OFS ES will notify, and shall cause each Permitted Transferee to notify, Key when all of
the Key Shares held by such Holder have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(i) Key agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all of the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC under each
thereof, and to take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent
required to enable such Holder to sell, without registration, the Key Shares pursuant to Rule 144
(or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), including furnishing to any
Holder, so long as such Holder owns any Key Shares, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement
by Key as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Key and such other
reports and documents so filed by Key as may be reasonably requested in availing any such Holder of
any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits such Holder to sell any Key Shares without
registration.
Section 5.20 Exclusivity.
Buyers have expended significant resources and time in connection with the review and
diligence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, Sellers will not, and
will not cause or permit the Subsidiaries or any affiliate of Sellers or the Subsidiaries or anyone
acting at Sellers’ or any affiliate of Sellers’ direction or on any affiliate of Sellers’ or any
Subsidiary’s behalf to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or encourage proposals
regarding, negotiate with, deliver any information to or enter into any agreement with any other
party with respect to the direct or indirect transfer of any of the Equity Interests, the
Incidental Assets, the Second Tier Equity Interests or the assets of any Subsidiary (except for
sales of assets by Subsidiaries in the Ordinary Course) (an “Alternative Transaction”) and
(b) notify Buyers in writing of any contact (irrespective of the form of communication) between
Sellers, the Subsidiaries, or any affiliate of Sellers or the Subsidiaries, or anyone acting at
Sellers’ or any affiliate of Sellers’ direction or on any affiliate of Sellers’ or any Subsidiary’s
behalf, and any other person with respect to any Alternative Transaction, and shall promptly
provide Buyers with copies of any documents received relating to any Alternative Transaction and
will keep Buyers informed regarding the status and details of any such communications between
Sellers and their
affiliates (or any person acting at Sellers’ or any affiliates’ direction or on behalf of
Sellers or any of Sellers’ affiliates) and any such persons regarding any Alternative Transaction.
-73-
Section 5.21 Solicitation of the Employees, Customers and Suppliers.
(a) Sellers covenant and agree that beginning on the Closing Date and continuing for a period
of 18 months thereafter (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), neither Sellers nor any affiliates
of Sellers will anywhere in the United States (including the Parishes of the State of Louisiana set
forth in Schedule 5.21(a)) (the “Non-Solicitation Area”) (i) solicit or hire any of the
employees of the Subsidiaries who are employed by the Subsidiaries or were employed by the
Subsidiaries within the 12-month period prior to the Closing, (ii) interfere with the relationship
of the Subsidiaries with any such employees or (iii) solicit or call on any person who is, was or
had been at any time within the 12-month period prior to the Closing, a customer, client or a
supplier of the Subsidiaries or the Business or attempt to solicit or call on any of the foregoing,
in each case for the purpose of engaging in the Business. Sellers agree that the restrictions
contained in this Section 5.21 are reasonable as to time and geographic scope because of the nature
of the business of the Subsidiaries and Sellers agree, in particular, that the geographic scope of
this restriction is reasonable because companies engaged in the Business compete throughout the
Non-Solicitation Area. Sellers acknowledge that the Subsidiaries are in direct competition with
all other companies engaged in the Business throughout the Non-Solicitation Area, and because of
the nature of such businesses, Sellers agree that the covenants contained in this Section 5.21
cannot reasonably be limited to any smaller geographic area.
(b) Sellers agree that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of this Section 5.21
will be inadequate and that any breach of this Section 5.21 will result in irreparable harm to Key
and the Business. Sellers further agree that in the event of breach of this Section 5.21 by either
Seller or any affiliate of such Seller, Key will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief to enforce
the terms of this Section 5.21. Whenever possible, each provision of this Section 5.21 shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision
of this Section 5.21 shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Section 5.21. If any provision of this
Section 5.21 shall, for any reason, be judged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid
or unenforceable, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this
Section 5.21 but shall be confined in its operation to the provision of this Section 5.21 directly
involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. In the event that the
provisions of this Section 5.21 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations
permitted by applicable law, then such provision shall be reformed to the maximum time or
geographic limitations permitted by applicable law.

Section 5.22 Key Board.
In connection with the negotiation, consideration and approval of this Agreement, the Board of
Directors of Key (the “Key Board”) has determined that immediately following the Closing,
the Key Board will create one new directorship with a term expiring at the 2012 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of Key and that OFS ES will have the right to designate one nominee to be appointed by
the Key Board to fill such newly created directorship. Such nominee shall at all
times meet the definition of “independent director” as set forth in the marketplace rules of
the New York Stock Exchange and the nomination of such director shall satisfy Key’s corporate
governance and other policies that are related to the nomination and service of directors,
including its Selection Process for New Director Candidates, Code of Business Conduct for Directors
and Ethics, and Affiliate Transaction Policy. If such nominee resigns, dies or is removed at any
time prior to the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Key and at that time ArcLight Energy
Partners Fund III, L.P. (“ArcLight”) Beneficially Owns Key Shares representing at least 5%
of the issued and outstanding shares of Key Common Stock, OFS ES will have the right to designate a
nominee to be appointed by the Key Board to fill such vacancy; provided that such director shall at
all times meet the definition of “independent director” as set forth in the marketplace rules of
the New York Stock Exchange and the nomination of such director shall satisfy Key’s corporate
governance and other policies that are related to the nomination and service of directors,
including its Selection Process for New Director Candidates, Code of Business Conduct for Directors
and Ethics, and Affiliate Transaction Policy and provided that nothing in this Section 5.22 shall
be construed to limit the fiduciary duties of the Key Board under the Maryland General Corporation
Law. Prior to being appointed to the Key Board, (i) any OFS ES nominee shall enter into a letter
agreement with Key, reasonably satisfactory to Key, whereby such nominee resigns, subject to the
Key Board’s discretion to decide not to accept such resignation, if at any time after the Closing
Date ArcLight no longer Beneficially Owns Key Shares representing at least 5% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Key Common Stock, and (ii) ArcLight shall enter into a letter agreement with
Key whereby, if at any time after the Closing Date, ArcLight no longer Beneficially Owns Key Shares
representing at least 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Key Common Stock, ArcLight shall
promptly notify Key of such event (but in any event within three (3) business days after such
event).
Section 5.23 Insurance Arrangements.
(a) The members of the Seller Group are the primary named insureds with respect to all
insurance coverage applicable to the Business for periods prior to Closing. Buyers and Sellers
agree that, upon Closing, all insurance coverage provided in relation to the Business pursuant to
any such policies shall be terminated, provided that the Subsidiaries shall retain the benefit of
the policies of insurance in relation to liabilities for events occurring prior to Closing but in
respect of which no claim has yet arisen at the time of Closing. Sellers agree to be responsible
for, and to pay, any liabilities arising from final audits under all such policies, and Sellers
shall indemnify Buyers with respect to any such liabilities.
(b) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Buyers to be named as
additional insured persons under each liability policy of insurance with coverage applicable to the
Business that is in effect as of the Closing Date, but only with respect to claims arising from
events occurring prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall cause to be delivered to Buyers evidence
of such additional insured status.
-75-
(c) Buyers and Sellers agree that, upon the request of Buyers, any claims made under the
insurance policies applicable to the Business maintained by Sellers and referred to in Section
5.23(a) in respect of the Business shall be administered and collected by Sellers (or by a claims
handler appointed by Sellers) on behalf of Buyers. Buyers shall cooperate with Sellers to enable
Sellers to comply with the requirements of the relevant insurer, and Buyers shall provide such
information and assistance as Sellers may reasonably request in connection with any such
claim. Sellers shall pursue claims on behalf of Buyers or the Subsidiaries for recovery in respect
of the policies attributable to the Business as requested by Buyers. Any monies received by
Sellers as a result of such claims and allocable to the Business shall be paid over to the
Subsidiaries or Buyers, net of all reasonable costs and expenses of recovery (including all
reasonable handling and collection charges by any claims handler appointed by Sellers). Buyers
agree to reimburse Sellers for any deductibles, payments following reservations of rights or
similar payments relating to the Subsidiaries that are billed to Sellers as the holder of the
policy in connection with the type of claims described in this paragraph, and Buyers shall
indemnify Sellers with respect to any such amounts.
Section 5.24 Sellers’ Commitments.
Schedule 5.24 lists Sellers’ Commitments for the benefit of the Subsidiaries with respect to
the Business as of the date of this Agreement. Among the Commitments, members of the Seller Group
maintain one or more facilities with financial institutions that provide for issuance of letters of
credit or bank guarantees for benefit of the Subsidiaries (the “Letters of Credit”).
Following the Closing, Buyers agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to cause
the parties holding the Letters of Credit to release to Sellers or cancel the Letters of Credit and
(ii) to cause the Commitments listed on Schedule 5.24 (other than Letters of Credit) to be replaced
and cause the beneficiaries of the Commitments to release Sellers from the obligations thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 5.24, “Commitment” shall mean any Letters of Credit and any
financial commitment or support provided by Sellers to enable one or more Subsidiaries to issue
performance bonds, guarantees, bid bonds, letters of credit, bank guarantees or similar instruments
or to incur indebtedness. Sellers shall provide such assistance as is reasonably requested by
Buyers in connection with the foregoing.
Section 5.25 Monthly Financial Statements.
The Sellers shall deliver to Buyers, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later
than 30 days after the end of such period, the unaudited combined balance sheets and statements of
income and cash flow of OFS ES and the Subsidiaries as of and for each month ended after the date
of this Agreement until the Closing Date (collectively, the “Monthly Financial
Statements”). The Monthly Statements shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the manner
in which the Pro Forma Unaudited Balance Sheet was prepared, and shall be consistent with the books
and records of OFS ES and the Subsidiaries.

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and
warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered hereunder
shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of 12 months after

(Ownership of Assets), Section 4.1 (Organization and Authority) and Section 4.8 (Valid Shares)
shall survive for the maximum period allowed by law. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding

this Agreement will survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence if written notice of the inaccuracy or breach of such representation
or warranty shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnification may be sought
prior to such time; provided, however, that the applicable representation or warranty will survive
only with respect to the particular inaccuracy or breach specified in such written notice. The
representations and warranties will not be affected or reduced as a result of any investigation or
knowledge of any of the parties.
Section 7.2 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by Sellers. Sellers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and
hold Buyers, the Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, and employees
and their heirs, successors and assigns, as the case may be, (collectively, “Buyer Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from any and all Indemnifiable Damages which any such person may suffer or
incur by reason of:
-81-
(i) the breach of any of the covenants or agreements made by Sellers in this Agreement
or any certificate delivered by Sellers hereto;
(ii) the breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Sellers in this
Agreement or any certificate delivered by Sellers hereto;
(iii) all Excluded Liabilities;
(iv) all Pre-Closing Service Matters;
(v) obligations or expenses of the Subsidiaries in connection with the Transaction,
including legal and accounting fees and expenses and brokerage and finders’ fees due
including obligations of any Subsidiary under its agreements and arrangements with Xxxxxxx;
(vi) all obligations of the Subsidiaries in respect of Closing Date Indebtedness;
(vii) the environmental matters set forth on Schedule 7.2(a)(vii) (the “Specified
Pre-Signing Environmental Matters”);
(viii) any Environmental Condition or SWD Defect identified by Buyers pursuant to
Section 5.1(d), as set forth on Schedule 7.2(a)(viii) (which matters shall not be
duplicative of the Specified Pre-Signing Environmental Matters) (the “Specified
Pre-Closing Environmental Matters”), which schedule shall be delivered to Sellers by
Buyers not less than three (3) business days prior to Closing;
(ix) the matters set forth on Schedule 7.2(a)(ix); and
(x) all Seller Indemnified Tax Liabilities.
For purposes of determining whether any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification
under this Section 7.2(a) and in calculating the amount of Indemnifiable Damages, the parties shall
ignore (i) any requirement in any representation or warranty contained herein that an event or fact
be material, have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Sellers
or the Business, taken as a whole, and (ii) any other reference to materiality contained in any
such representation or warranty.
(b) Indemnification by Buyers. Buyers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and
hold Sellers and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees, and their heirs,
successors and assigns as the case may be (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”),
harmless from any and all Indemnifiable Damages which any such person may suffer or incur by reason
of:
(i) the breach of any of the covenants or agreements made by Buyers in this Agreement
or any certificate delivered by Buyers hereto;
(ii) the breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyers in this
Agreement or any certificate delivered by Buyers hereto;
-82-
(iii) all Assumed Liabilities; and
(iv) all Buyer Indemnified Tax Liabilities.
(c) Third-Party Claims. If any claim or demand is asserted against an indemnified party by a
third party with respect to any matter under the indemnities set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section
7.2(b) (other than Seller Indemnified Tax Liabilities and Buyer Indemnified Tax Liabilities) (a
“Third Party Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly give written notice and details
thereof (the “Claim Notice”), including copies of all pleadings and the pertinent
documents, to the indemnifying party or parties, as the case may be (“Indemnitor”).
(i) The Indemnitor shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice given within
20 days after receipt of the Claim Notice, to conduct and control (subject to the
limitations set forth below), through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Party Claim as to which
indemnification will be sought by any indemnified party from any Indemnitor hereunder, and
in any such case the indemnified party shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall
furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery
proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor
in connection therewith; provided, that the indemnified party shall have the right to
participate in such defense at its own expense; provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall
not be entitled to assume control of the defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by
the indemnified party) and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all
indemnified parties in any one jurisdiction with respect to any Third Party Claim if (A) the
Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal
proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (B) the Third Party Claim is
against customers or vendors with which the indemnified party does business if the defense
or manner of defense of such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to be adverse to
the future business prospects of the indemnified party; (C) the Third Party Claim seeks an
injunction or equitable relief against the indemnified party; (D) the indemnified party has
been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest
between the Indemnitor and the indemnified party; or (E) the defense, settlement or other
action or omission with respect to such Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to
have the effect of increasing the present or future Tax liability or decreasing any present
or future Tax asset of the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnified party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such Third Party
Claim, provided that in such event the indemnified party shall waive any right to indemnity
therefor hereunder.
(ii) If (A) the Indemnitor does not assume control of the defense of a Third Party
Claim pursuant to clause (i) above within 20 days after receiving written notice from the
indemnified party or (B) the Indemnitor assumes control of the defense of a Third Party
Claim pursuant to clause (i) above and fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend
diligently such Third Party Claim within ten days after receiving written notice from the
indemnified party or if the indemnified party reasonably believes the Indemnitor has failed
to take such steps or if the Indemnitor has not undertaken fully to indemnify the
indemnified party in
-83-
respect of all Indemnifiable Damages relating to the matter, then the indemnified party shall have the right to pay, compromise or
defend any Third Party Claim and to assert the amount of any payment on the Third Party
Claim plus the expense of defense or settlement as an indemnity claim; provided, however,
that the Indemnitor shall not be liable for the costs and expenses of more than one counsel
with respect to any one Third Party Claim for all indemnified parties in any one
jurisdiction; provided, further, that the indemnified party shall not compromise or settle
any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnified party shall also
have the right, exercisable in good faith, to take such action as may be necessary to avoid
a default judgment prior to the assumption of the defense of any Third Party Claim by the
Indemnitor and any expenses incurred by so acting shall be paid by the Indemnitor; provided,
that such Third Party Claim is a proper claim for indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, the Indemnitor will not enter into any settlement of any
Third Party Claim which would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation
on the part of the indemnified party which is not being paid contemporaneously by the
Indemnitor, or which provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief applicable to the
indemnified party, or does not include an unconditional release of all indemnified parties.
(d) Direct Claims. With respect to all claims other than Third Party Claims, the Indemnitor
shall promptly pay or reimburse the indemnified party in respect of any claim or liability for
Indemnifiable Damages to which the foregoing indemnities relate after receipt of written notice
from the indemnified party outlining with reasonable particularity the nature and amount of the
claim(s). All claims for indemnity hereunder must be submitted as promptly as practicable by the
indemnified party to the Indemnitor. In the event the Indemnitor fails or refuses to make payment
for such claims within a period of 20 days from the date of notice to the Indemnitor, the
indemnified party shall be entitled to exercise all legal remedies available to it under this
Agreement.
(e) Notice of Claims. A failure to give timely notice or to include any specified information
in any notice as provided in Sections 7.2(c) and 7.2(d) will not affect the rights or obligations
of any party hereunder except, and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party
which was entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under
its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise materially prejudiced as a result of such
failure.
(f) Access and Information. With respect to any Third Party Claim as to which Indemnitor has
taken control pursuant to Section 7.2(c)(i) above, the indemnified party will give to the
Indemnitor and its counsel, accountants and other representatives reasonable access, during normal
business hours and upon the giving of reasonable prior notice, to its books and records relating to
such claims, and to its employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives, all without
charge to the Indemnitor, except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. If a
claim for indemnification is made hereunder, the indemnified party agrees to maintain any of its
books and records then in its possession which may relate to such claim for such period of time as
may be necessary to resolve such claim.
-84-
(g) Monetary Limitations on Indemnification.
(i) Sellers shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Parties
with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages as to which such persons are otherwise entitled to
indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii), Section 7.2(a)(iv), Section 7.2(a)(vii),
Section 7.2(a)(viii) and Section 7.2(a)(ix) unless and until the aggregate amount of
Indemnifiable Damages exceeds the General Basket Amount, and thereafter Buyer Indemnified

Property), (B) pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii), Section 7.2(a)(vii) and Section 7.2(a)(viii)

aggregate limit set forth in clause (B) of this clause (ii), Sellers and Buyers shall
contribute and share in each item of Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to such clause (B) as
follows:

through the first anniversary of the
Closing Date
|

Sellers shall bear 100% and Buyers
shall bear 0% of each item of
Indemnifiable Damages |
|
|

(iii) The liability of either Sellers or Buyers under this Section 7.2 shall (A) be
offset dollar for dollar by any cash recovery actually made (net of reasonable out-of-pocket

retrospective or other current increase in premium that is directly attributable to the
payment of such cash recovery) by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified
Parties, as the case may be, from any unaffiliated third party (including insurers) on
account of the item of Indemnifiable Damages involved (and no right of subrogation shall
accrue to any such third party), and (B) be offset by any Tax benefit (net of Taxes, the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such benefit and any Tax detriment)
inuring to the indemnified party therefrom and realized in the taxable year in which the

Parties with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages as to which such persons are otherwise
entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(ii) shall not exceed Seventy-Five

INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FOR PUNITIVE, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT THESE
LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO PUNITIVE, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES PAYABLE TO A THIRD
PARTY PURSUANT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR THAT ARISE FROM FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL
MISREPRESENTATION.
(ii) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no claim may be
asserted and no action may be commenced against an Indemnitor for breach of any covenant or
agreement contained herein, unless written notice of such claim or action is received by the
Indemnitor, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the
subject matter of such claim or action.
(i) Manner of Payment. Any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller
Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VII shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately
available funds from the Sellers or the Buyers, as the case may be, to an account designated in
writing by the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be,
within fifteen (15) days after the determination thereof; provided, however, indemnification of the
Buyer Indemnified Parties may first be effected by retention of all or a portion of the Holdback
Shares by the Buyers at a per share value equal to the Ten Day VWAP immediately preceding the date
of such payment.
Section 7.3 Exclusive Remedy.
(a) Exclusivity. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal
activity or intentional misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) relating to the covenants and agreements contained in
this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII;
provided, that any party may exercise any and all remedies it may have at law or in equity in the
event of a breach by the other party of its payment obligations established pursuant to Section
7.2. In furtherance of the foregoing and subject to the foregoing proviso, each of the parties
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and
causes of action (other than claims or causes of action arising from fraud, criminal activity or
intentional misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) it may have against another party (but not contribution, indemnity
or other rights it may have against third parties), arising under or based upon (i) any breach of
an express or implied representation or warranty whether or not contained in either Article III or
Article IV of this Agreement, (ii) any federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, rule or
regulation and (iii) any other rights, claims or causes of action arising under or based upon
common law or otherwise with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
contained in or otherwise made in connection with this Agreement.
-87-
(b) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding Section 7.3(a), nothing contained in this Section 7.3
shall prevent any party hereto from seeking and obtaining injunctive relief against the other
party’s activities in breach of this Agreement.
Section 7.4 Adjustment to Purchase Price.
Any payment by Buyers or Sellers under this Article VII shall, to the extent such payment can
be properly so characterized under applicable Tax law, be treated by the parties as an adjustment
to the Purchase Price.
Section 7.5 Continuing Indemnification of Directors and Others.
(a) Scope. From the Closing Date until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyers
agree to cause the Subsidiaries to honor the provisions in their respective Governing Documents, in
the forms delivered to Buyers pursuant to Section 6.2(h)(i) at the Closing, relating to the
exculpation or indemnification of officers, directors, employees or agents (the “E&I
Provisions”) who held any such position on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the
“E&I Indemnitees”), it being the intent of the parties that the E&I Indemnitees who held
any such position on or prior to the Closing Date shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of
the E&I Provisions with respect to all periods through the Closing Date to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.
(b) Insurance. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyers shall procure (with Buyers and Sellers to
bear equally the cost thereof), a six-year “tail” prepaid policy for the benefit of the E&I
Indemnitees of at least equivalent coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less
advantageous with respect to matters occurring on or prior to Closing Date than the similar
policies of insurance maintained by the members of the Seller Group on the date hereof. Sellers
shall provide such assistance as is reasonably requested by Buyers in connection with the
foregoing. The provisions of this Section 7.5(b) are expressly intended to benefit each of the E&I
Indemnitees.
(c) No Release. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to, or shall
release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy
that is or has been in existence with respect to any member of the Seller Group or any of their
respective E&I Indemnitees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in
this Section 7.5 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.
Section 7.6 EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE.
THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE VII ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE
PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING TEXAS’ EXPRESS
NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE
OF THE SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR
STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNITIES
SET FORTH HEREIN MAY RESULT IN THE INDEMNITY OF A PARTY
FOR ITS SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER
FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
Section 8.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Closing by:
(a) the mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyers;
(b) either Sellers or Buyers if the Closing has not occurred by the close of business on
September 30, 2010 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the Outside Date shall at
the election of Buyers, be extended to November 1, 2010, if from the date hereof to the Outside
Date, Buyers (i) have been diligently pursuing the Site Assessments and such Site Assessments have
not been completed by the Outside Date and (ii) continue to diligently pursue the completion of the
Site Assessments during such extension period; provided further, that the failure to consummate the
Transaction on or before such date did not result solely from the failure by the party seeking
termination of this Agreement to fulfill any undertaking or commitment on its part provided for
herein prior to Closing;
(c) the Sellers, if at any time prior to the Closing Date, (i) there shall be a breach of any
representation or warranty by either Buyer in this Agreement that would cause a failure of the
condition set forth in clause (i) of Section 6.3(a), or (ii) there shall be a breach by either
Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would cause a failure
of the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a)(ii), in each case, provided, that such breach is
continuing at the time of termination and is incapable of being cured or has not been cured by the
Buyers within the earlier of (i) the Outside Date or (ii) twenty (20) days after written notice
from the Sellers of such breach; provided, however, the Sellers shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if either Seller is then in material
breach of this Agreement;
(d) the Buyers, if at any time prior to the Closing Date, (i) there shall be a breach of any
representation or warranty of either Seller in this Agreement that would cause a failure of the
condition set forth in clause (i) of Section 6.2(a), or (ii) there shall be a breach by either
Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would cause a failure
of the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a)(ii), in each case, provided, that such breach is
continuing at the time of termination and is incapable of being cured or has not been cured by
Sellers within the earlier of the Outside Date or twenty (20) days after written notice from the
Buyers of such breach; provided, however, the Buyers shall not have the right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if either Buyer is then in material breach of this
Agreement; and
-89-
(e) either Sellers or Buyers, if at any time prior to the Closing Date, Buyers identify a
Potentially Material Environmental Condition pursuant to the Phase I ESAs or the Site Assessments
as described in Section 5.1(d); provided, however, the terminating party shall provide the
non-terminating party not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of its intent to
terminate the Agreement under this clause (e); provided, further, during such 10-day period,
the parties shall endeavor in good faith to reach agreement on appropriate adjustments to the terms
of the Transaction (including adjustments to the Purchase Price or the Purchased Assets) to enable
a Closing to occur notwithstanding the existence of such Potentially Material Environmental
Condition. Such written notice shall contain a description of the matter constituting the alleged
Potentially Material Environmental Condition, supporting documents available to Buyers reasonably
necessary for Sellers to verify the existence of the alleged Potentially Material Environmental
Condition, and a proposed Remedial Action to address the Potentially Material Environmental
Condition (including an associated cost estimate).
Section 8.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination.
In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof
shall forthwith be given by the terminating party to the other party hereto, and this Agreement
shall thereupon terminate and become void and have no effect, and the Transaction shall be
abandoned without further action by the parties hereto, except that the provisions of this Section
8.2, Section 5.6, Article IX and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and except that such termination shall not relieve any party hereto of any liability
for (i) fraud, or intentional or willful misrepresentation, breach or misconduct or (ii) any breach
of its covenants and agreements under this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.
Section 8.3 Wrongful Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a party terminates this
Agreement other than in accordance with its terms, that party shall be liable for any Indemnifiable
Damages caused thereby.

ADOPTION AGREEMENT
THIS ADOPTION AGREEMENT (this “
Agreement”) is executed by the undersigned (the
“
Transferee”) pursuant to the terms of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of July 23,
2010 (the “
Purchase Agreement”), among OFS Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company,
OFS Energy Services, LLC, Key Energy Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(“
Key”), and Key Energy Services, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement. By the execution of this Agreement, the Transferee represents and warrants,
and acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. The Transferee is acquiring _____ Key Shares (the “Transferred Shares”) as a
Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Transferee is
acquiring the Transferred Shares for investment for its own account and not with a view to
participating directly or indirectly in any resale, distribution or underwriting thereof in
violation of the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and the Transferee will not
offer or sell the Transferred Shares in violation of the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws. The Transferee understands that the Transferred Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, are being transferred in
reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving any public offering and
may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred or disposed of unless
there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering such securities and
the securities have been qualified or registered under applicable state securities laws or an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Acts and such laws is available.
The Transferee also understands that certificates representing the Transferred Shares shall bear an
appropriate legend regarding the restrictions on transfer and Key shall order any transfer agent it
may appoint to stop the transfer thereof absent compliance with such restrictions.
2. The Transferee is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act. The Transferee acknowledges that (i) Key files annual,
quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and that Key has
made available to the Transferee copies of such reports, statements and other filings, and any
exhibits thereto and (ii) the Transferee has been provided an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers from Key concerning the terms and conditions of the transfer of the Transferred
Shares and to obtain any additional information which Key possesses or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of any information
furnished with said transfer. The Transferee is experienced in evaluating and investing in
securities of companies such as Key and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear
the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Key
Shares. The Transferee has not received any general solicitation or general advertisement in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Exhibit A, Page 1
3. The Transferee has not looked to, or relied in any manner upon, Key or any of its
affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or other representatives for advice about tax,
financial, or legal consequences of an investment in the Transferred Shares, and none of Key or any
of Key’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or other representatives has made or is making
any representations to the Transferee about, or guaranties of, tax, financial, or legal outcomes of
an investment in the Transferred Shares. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IT IS
UNDERSTOOD THAT ANY COST ESTIMATES, PROJECTIONS OR OTHER PREDICTIONS CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO IN
ANY OFFERING MEMORANDA, MANAGEMENT PRESENTATIONS OR OTHER MATERIALS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO
THE TRANSFEREE ARE NOT AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF KEY OR ANY OF
ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES.
4. The Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of Section 5.19 of the
Purchase Agreement and Exhibit C thereto (collectively, the “Adopted Provisions”) and
agrees that the Adopted Provisions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
legatees, devisees, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the Transferee.
5. The Transferee acknowledges receipt of a true and correct copy of the Adopted Provisions
and further acknowledges that it has read Adopted Provisions and understands and agrees to abide by
all terms, covenants, conditions, limitations, restrictions and provisions contained in the Adopted
Provisions.

EXHIBIT C
INDEMNIFICATION/CONTRIBUTION
This
Exhibit C is attached to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated July 23, 2010
(the “
Purchase Agreement”), by and among OFS Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“
OFS Holdings”),
OFS Energy Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“
OFS ES”, and together with OFS Holdings, “
Sellers”), and Key Energy Services,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (“
Key”), and Key Energy Services, LLC, a Texas limited
liability company (“
Key Texas”, and together with Key Texas, “
Buyers”).
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
Exhibit C shall have the meanings given
them in the Purchase Agreement.
1. In the event of an offer and sale of Key Shares under the Securities Act, Key shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each person or entity, if any, who controls such Holder
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each officer, director, manager, partner, and
employee of such Holder and such controlling person or entity, against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (joint or several), including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of investigation, incurred by such party pursuant to any
actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or to which any of the foregoing
persons or entities may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal
or state laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses
arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively a “Violation”):
A. Any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus, prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein, or any amendments or supplements thereto; or
B. The omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided that the indemnification required by this Section 1 of this Exhibit C shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or out-of-pocket
expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of Key, nor shall Key be liable in any
such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or out-of-pocket expense to the extent that
it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to Key by the indemnified party expressly for use in connection with
such registration or any information provided by a Holder regarding its proposed plan of
distribution; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Exhibit C
shall not apply to any underwriter to the extent that any such loss is based on or arises out of an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or an omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact, contained in or omitted from any preliminary prospectus if the final
prospectus shall correct such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or such omission or
alleged omission, and a copy of the final prospectus has not been sent or given to such person at
or prior to the confirmation of sale to such person if such underwriter was under an obligation to
deliver such final prospectus and failed to do so. Key shall also indemnify underwriters, selling
brokers,
dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution,
their officers, directors, agents and employees and each person who controls such persons (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to
the. same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders.
Exhibit C, Page 1
2. In connection with such Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, such
Holder will furnish to Key in writing such information required under Regulation S-K under the
Securities Act regarding such Holder and, if such registration is not an underwritten registration,
such information regarding the distribution of such securities, as Key reasonably requests for use
in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus. If such registration statement
or prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto contains
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any information or affidavit
so furnished in writing by the Holder, or if such information or affidavit omits or allegedly omits
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, the Holder, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless Key, each
of its directors, each of its officers who shall have signed the Registration Statement, each
person or entity, if any, who controls Key within the meaning of the Securities Act, any other
Holder, any controlling person or entity of any such other Holder and each officer, director,
manager, partner, and employee of such other Holder and such controlling person or entity, against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (joint and several),
including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of investigation, incurred
by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or to
which any of the foregoing persons or entities may otherwise become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with
such registration or any information provided by such Holder regarding its proposed plan of
distribution; provided that (a) the indemnification required by this Section 2 of this Exhibit
C shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
out-of-pocket expense if settlement is effected without the consent of the relevant Holder, (b) in
no event shall the amount of any indemnity under this Section 2 of this Exhibit C exceed
the gross proceeds from the applicable offering received by such Holder, and (c) that the
obligation to indemnify will be individual to the Holder and not joint or joint and several with
any other seller or prospective seller of securities.
3. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Exhibit C of notice of
the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or threat thereof made in writing
for which such indemnified party may make a claim under this Exhibit C, such indemnified
party shall deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided that an indemnified
party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and disbursements and
out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such
Exhibit C, Page 2
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time following the commencement of any such action, if
prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any
liability to the indemnified party under this Exhibit C but shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
pursuant to this Exhibit C. Any fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the indemnified
party (including any fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such action or proceeding) shall be paid to the indemnified party, as
incurred, within 30 days of written notice thereof to the indemnifying party (regardless of whether
it is ultimately determined that an indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder). Any such indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action, claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall be the out-of-pocket expenses of such indemnified
party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and out-of-pocket expenses or
(ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense of such action, claim
or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such action, claim or proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and such
indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying
party and that the assertion of such defenses would create a conflict of interest such that counsel
employed by the indemnifying party could not faithfully represent the indemnified party (in which
case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding on behalf of such
indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one such action, claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or
related actions, claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all such
indemnified parties, unless in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party a conflict of
interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with
respect to such action, claim or proceeding, in which event the indemnifying party shall be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels). No indemnifying
party shall be liable to an indemnified party for any settlement of any action, proceeding or claim
without the written consent of the indemnifying party.
4. If the indemnification required by this Exhibit C, from the indemnifying
party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses referred to in this Exhibit C:
A. The indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties
in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or out-of-pocket expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
Exhibit C, Page 3
considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any Violation has been
committed by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified
parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such Violation. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to above shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1 and
Section 2 of this Exhibit C, any legal or other fees or out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
B. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 4 of this Exhibit C were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in Section 4(A) of this Exhibit C. No person or entity
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity that was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
5. If indemnification is available under this Exhibit C, the indemnifying parties
shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in this Exhibit C
without regard to the relative fault of such indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other
equitable consideration referred to in Section 4 of this Exhibit C.
6. The obligations of Key and the Holders under this Exhibit C shall survive the
completion of any offering of Key Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Agreement,
and otherwise.

amendment is sought. Any party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by
the other parties hereto with any term or provision of this Release. The waiver by a party hereto
of a breach of any term or provision of this Release shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach.
5. Severability. If any provision of this Release is invalid, illegal or incapable of
being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this
