(a) EAMHC shall purchase from SemMaterials, and SemMaterials shall sell, assign, convey and transfer to EAMHC, its 99.99% interest in SMHC, free and clear of any Liens, restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions arising under Law), options, rights, calls, commitments, proxies or other contract rights.

(c) In consideration of the sale of the Companies Membership Interests acquired by the Buyers, Buyers shall pay Sellers the Purchase Price consistently with Schedule 2.1.

2.2 Purchase Price.

(a) The purchase price for the Companies Membership Interests to be sold to the Buyers, shall be an amount equal to (i) US $55,000,000 (the “Base Cash Consideration”) plus (ii) the Non-Cash Working Capital as of the Effective Time (if a positive amount) plus (iii) reimbursement of Actual Permitted Capital Expenditures less (iv) the Non-Cash Working Capital (if a negative amount) as of the Effective Time (the “Purchase Price”).

(b) Not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyers a written statement showing Sellers’ good faith calculation of Estimated Non-Cash Working Capital and Estimated Permitted Capital Expenditures. The Purchase Price paid at Closing shall be an amount equal to (i) the Base Cash Consideration less (ii) the Deposit plus (iii) the Estimated Non-Cash Working Capital (if a positive amount) plus (iv) Estimated Permitted Capital Expenditures less (v) the Estimated Non-Cash Working Capital (if a negative amount) (the “Estimated Closing Purchase Price”).

(c) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyers shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Sellers in good faith: (i) the Closing Balance Sheet; and (ii) a written statement showing (A) Current Assets, Current Liabilities, Non-Cash Working Capital, and Actual Permitted Capital Expenditures, all as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet, (B) the adjustments to the Estimated Closing Purchase Price based upon the difference between the Actual Non-Cash Working Capital (as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet) and the Estimated Non-Cash Working Capital and the difference between the Actual Permitted Capital Expenditures (as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet) and the Estimated Permitted Capital Expenditures and (C) the calculation of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Closing Purchase Price” and, collectively, the “PP Adjustment Documents”). Sellers shall have a period of 30 days after delivery of the PP Adjustment Documents to review (and cause Sellers’ auditors to review) such documents and make any objections they may have in writing to Buyers. For purposes of Sellers’ evaluation of the PP Adjustment Documents, Buyers shall, and shall cause the Companies to, make available or provide reasonable access to Sellers and their respective Representatives, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the PP Adjustment Documents; and

shall permit reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to the facilities and personnel of the Companies as may be reasonably requested by Sellers and their respective Representatives to analyze the PP Adjustment Documents. If Sellers deliver written objections to Buyers within such 30-day period, then Buyers and Sellers shall attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute. If no written objections are made by Sellers within such 30-day period, then such PP Adjustment Documents and the calculation of the Final Closing Purchase Price shall be final and binding on the Parties. If disputes with respect to such PP Adjustment Documents cannot be resolved by Buyers and Sellers within 30 days after timely delivery of any objections thereto, then the specific matters in dispute (but no others) shall be submitted to Deloitte US or such other internationally recognized independent accounting firm as may be approved by Sellers and Buyers (the “Independent Auditor”), which firm shall render its opinion as to such specific matters. The matters to be resolved by the Independent Auditor shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputes between Buyers and Sellers with respect to such PP Adjustment Documents. The Independent Auditor shall promptly deliver to Buyers and Sellers a written report setting forth its resolution of the disputes along with its determination of the Final Closing Purchase Price, which determination shall be made in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Independent Auditor’s determination of the Final Closing Purchase Price, including each of the components thereof in dispute, shall be based solely on written materials submitted by Buyers and Sellers (i.e., not on independent review), and the terms of this Agreement, including the definitions included herein. The Independent Auditor shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of Buyers’ proposal (considered in the aggregate), on the one hand, or Sellers’ proposal (considered in the aggregate), on the other hand, as to the disputed items and shall have no authority to select or propose to the Parties any resolution other than as set forth in one of such two proposals originally submitted to the Independent Auditor. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Auditor in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne by the Parties as designated by the Independent Auditor, which designation shall be based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses).

(d) Within 10 days after the date on which the PP Adjustment Documents are determined to be final and binding as set forth in Section 2.2(c) and provided there is a difference between the Estimated Closing Purchase Price and the Final Closing Purchase Price, then either (i) Buyers shall pay to Sellers the amount by which the Final Closing Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Closing Purchase Price or (ii) Sellers shall pay to Buyers the amount by which the Final Closing Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Closing Purchase Price. In either case, the amount of such payment, if any, shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and such amount shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the payee Party.

2.3 Deposit. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by Buyers and Sellers, Buyers shall deliver to Sellers a performance guarantee deposit in the amount of ten percent of the Base Cash Consideration (the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be paid by Buyers to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Sellers to Buyers. In the event that the Closing does not occur as a result of the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.6 (other than the failure of the condition set forth in Section 2.6(c) or because this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)), Sellers shall be entitled to keep the Deposit; provided, however, that in the event that the Closing does not occur for any other reason (including the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 2.5 or Section 2.6(c)), Sellers shall refund the Deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyers to Buyers within three Business Days. In the event the Closing occurs, the Deposit shall be retained by Sellers and the amount of the Deposit shall be applied toward payment by Buyers of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

6.4 Certain Limitations. The Party making a claim under this Article VI is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VI is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.3(b) (other than indemnification for any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.8), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 6.2(b) (other than indemnification for any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.8) and Section 6.3(b) exceeds 0.75% of the Base Cash Consideration (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 6.2(b) (other than indemnification for any inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.8) or Section 6.3(b), as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual Losses which do not exceed US $10,000 (which Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible).

(b) Other than indemnification pursuant to Article VIII, the Indemnified Parties shall not be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.2(b), Section 6.2(c), Section 6.3(b) or Section 6.3(c), as the case may be, with respect to any Loss if the aggregate amount of all Losses for which such Indemnified Parties have received indemnification pursuant Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.2(c), or Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(c), as applicable, has exceeded 15% of the Base Cash Consideration.

(c) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any Liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party (or the Companies) in respect of any such claim (other than, in the case of any Buyer Indemnified Party, any representations and warranties insurance policy relating to this Agreement for the benefit of Buyers). The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses.

(d) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages (except to the extent that such damages are the reasonably foreseeable result of the applicable breach of this Agreement), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct or to the extent actually awarded to a Governmental Authority or other third party.

(e) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

(f) Given the provisions above concerning the Deductible, when determining (i) whether an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained herein exists and (ii) the amount of Losses that arise out of such inaccuracy or breach, any qualification as to “materiality” or “material adverse effect” (including the word “material” or “Material Adverse Effect”) shall be disregarded (except as used in the defined term “Material Contract” and in Section 3.6(a)).

6.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. Within 30 days after receipt of any such notice, or, if shorter, the deadline by which a response is required to respond to the related Third-Party Claim under Law, the Indemnifying Party must notify the Indemnified Party in writing (i) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to that Third-Party Claim and (ii) if the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its potential liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to that Third-Party Claim and whether the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and the Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable cooperation in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 6.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject, if applicable, to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 6.5(b), pay, compromise or defend against such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Sellers and Buyers shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 7.6) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not agree to settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 6.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and without admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of any Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum Liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the

Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 6.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30 day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Companies’ premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, such Direct Claim specified in such notice shall be deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party timely disputes such Direct Claim, as provided above, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

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

6.6 Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in Section 7.7(b), their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from intentional fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall limit any Person’s right to seek any remedy on account of intentional fraud or willful misconduct by any Person.

7.4 Further Transfers. From and after the Closing, Sellers shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as Buyers may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to Buyers of the Companies Membership Interests, and any other transactions contemplated hereby.

Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyers and Sellers shall pay all of their own fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the performance of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

7.6 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to Buyers pursuant to this Agreement.

At the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

(b) Each Seller acknowledges that such Seller has or may have had in the past, currently has and in the future may have access to Confidential Information of the Companies and the Business. Each Seller agrees that, from and after the Closing, such Seller will keep confidential all such Confidential Information and, except with the specific prior written consent of Buyers, will not disclose any of such Confidential Information to any Person; provided, however, that, for purpose of this

Section 7.6, Confidential Information does not include such information as (i) becomes known to the public generally through no fault of any Seller or (ii) is required to be disclosed by any Law or the order of any Governmental Authority under color of law, provided, that prior to the disclosure by any Seller of any information under this clause (ii), such Seller will give prior written notice thereof to Buyers and provide Buyers with the opportunity to contest that disclosure.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party or its Affiliates may issue an announcement or statement regarding this Agreement and/or file this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but only to the extent the same may be required by Law, any listing agreement with any securities exchange or any securities exchange regulation, in which case the Party proposing to issue such announcement or statement or make such filing shall use its reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before such issuance or filing and shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in good faith with respect to the timing, manner and content of disclosure.

7.7 Non-Compete.

(a) Each Seller agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that such Seller will not, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly (through any Affiliate, Person or otherwise), for any reason, for such Seller’s own account or on behalf of or together with any other Person:

(i) call on, solicit or perform services for any Person that at that time is, or at any time within two years prior to that time was, a customer or supplier of the Companies within Mexico, for the purpose of soliciting or selling any product or service in competition with the Companies or the Business within Mexico of the type and method offered by the Companies on the Closing Date, or attempt to induce any such customer or supplier to terminate any Contract or otherwise divert from the Companies any trade or business of the type provided by the Companies on the Closing Date being conducted by any such customer or supplier with the Companies, or otherwise attempt to influence any present, prospective or past customer or supplier of the Companies to discontinue, reduce the extent of, or not conduct business with Buyers or the Companies;

(ii) use any of the Excluded Proprietary Rights in Mexico; or

(iii) call on, recruit or otherwise solicit or seek to hire or employ any natural person who is at that time an employee, contractor, subcontractor, consultant or sales or other agent of Buyers or any Affiliate of Buyers (including, after the Closing, the Companies) who was on the Closing Date an employee of any of the Companies in any capacity, or to otherwise induce or influence any such employee, contractor, subcontractor, consultant or sales or other agent to discontinue such employment, contractor, subcontractor, consulting or agency relationship with Buyers or any Affiliate of Buyers (including, after the Closing, the Companies), or hire or employ any such person; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the foregoing restrictions in this Section 7.7(a)(iii) shall not prohibit calling on, recruiting or otherwise seeking to hire or employ any contractor who routinely provides services to multiple customers other than Buyers or any Affiliate of Buyers (including, after the Closing, the Companies) and (B) the foregoing restrictions in this Section 7.7(a)(iii) shall not prohibit general solicitations for employment in newspaper, magazines or over the internet, in each case only if not specifically directed toward any such employee, contractor, subcontractor, consultant or sales or other agent of Buyers or any Affiliate of Buyers (including, after the Closing, the Companies);

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.7 shall in any prohibit or otherwise restrict Sellers and their Affiliates from (A) operating the Excluded Assets in any jurisdiction consistent with past practice, (B) conducting the Energy Reform Business or doing business with any customer, client, supplier or other third party in connection with the Energy Reform Business, including, without limitation, any customer, client, supplier and third party engaged in the liquid asphalt business in Mexico, or (C) conducting any business or operation in the United States or doing business with any customer, client, supplier or other third party in connection with such business or operation in the United States, including, without limitation, any customer, client, supplier and third party engaged in the liquid asphalt business in Mexico.

(b) If the Sellers breach their obligations under Section 7.7(a)(iii) (the “Non-Solicit Breach”), the Sellers shall pay to the Buyers an amount equal to 80% of the total annual compensation paid by Buyers or any Affiliate of Buyers (including, after the Closing, the Companies) to the applicable employee, contractor, subcontractor, consultant or sales or other agent (the “Liquidated Damages”). The Parties intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Buyers’ harm caused by a Non-Solicit Breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the date hereof, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a Non-Solicit Breach. The Sellers’ payment of the Liquidated Damages is the Sellers’ sole liability and entire obligation and the Buyers’ exclusive remedy for any Non-Solicit Breach.

(c) The Parties each agree that this Section 7.7 imposes a reasonable restraint on each Seller in light of the activities and business of the Companies on the date hereof and the current business plans of Buyers.

(d) The covenants in this Section 7.7 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant in this Section 7.7 is not intended by any Party to, and will not, affect the provisions of any other covenant in this Section 7.7. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth in this Section 7.7 are unreasonable as applied to each Seller, the Parties, including each Seller, acknowledge their mutual intention and agreement that those restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent the court deems reasonable, and thereby will be reformed to fullest extent possible to effect the intent of the Parties hereunder.

(e) All the covenants in this Section 7.7 are intended by each Party to, and will, be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of either Seller against Buyers, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyers of any covenant contained in Section 7.7. It is specifically agreed that the time periods specified in this Section 7.7 will be computed by excluding from that computation any time during which the Sellers are in violation of any provision of this Section 7.7. The covenants contained in this Section 7.7 will not be affected by any breach of any other provision hereof by any Party.

(f) Sellers hereby agree that this Section 7.7 is a material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.8 Exclusivity.

(a) In consideration of the substantial expenditures of time, effort and money to be undertaken by Buyers in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and its due diligence investigations, each Seller hereby agrees that for the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating upon the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, no Seller shall, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Affiliates or any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding an Acquisition Proposal. Each Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates and all of its and their representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Each Seller agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 7.8 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.9 and Section 10.11), it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable injury to Buyers and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyers.

7.9 Access.

(a) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Sellers and the Companies shall, upon written request of Buyers (which may be by e-mail to a Representative designated by Sellers), grant Buyers reasonable access to the assets and records of Sellers and the Companies for the purpose of conducting reasonable due diligence and integration review, but only to the extent that Buyers may do so, and to the extent that Sellers and the Companies have the authority to grant such access, without breaching any Law or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no invasive inspection or sampling of soil or materials shall be performed without the prior written consent of Sellers, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Buyers shall, to the extent they are granted access, abide by the Companies’ safety rules, regulations, and operating policies while conducting its due diligence and integration planning evaluation.

(b) The access granted to Buyers under this Section 7.9 shall be limited to the Companies’ normal business hours, and the investigation shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes interference with the operation of the Companies. Buyers shall coordinate their access rights with Sellers to reasonably minimize any inconvenience to or interruption of the conduct of the businesses of the Companies or Sellers.

(c) Buyers acknowledge that, pursuant to their right of access, Buyers may become privy to confidential and other information of Sellers and the Companies and that such confidential information shall be held confidential by Buyers in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and any applicable privacy Laws regarding personal information.

7.10 Use of Companies’ Names; Removal of Decals, Logos and Signs. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyers shall (a) take all actions to change the name of each of the Companies so that the word “SemMexico”, “SemMaterials” or “Sem” does not appear therein, and (b) cease to use and shall remove or cause to be removed the names and marks used by SemGroup Corporation and its subsidiaries and all variations and derivations thereof and logos relating thereto from the Owned Properties, Leased Properties and personal property of each of the Companies and shall not thereafter make any use whatsoever of such names, marks, and logos whether as identification for the Owned Properties, the Leased Properties or the personal property of the Companies or in connection with documentation and correspondence relating thereto, except as may be necessary to complete the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and any consents related thereto. In the event that Buyers have not completed such name change and removal within the 90-day period after the Closing Date, Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause such name change and removal and Buyers shall reimburse Sellers for any costs or expenses reasonably incurred by Sellers in connection therewith.

7.11 Employment Matters. To the extent required by Applicable Mexican Law, Buyers will replicate existing terms and conditions of employment for all employees of the Companies as of the Closing Date. Except as required by Applicable Mexican Law, the terms and conditions of employment of any employees of the Companies following the Closing Date, and the duration of such employment, will be determined by Buyers in their sole discretion.

7.12 Manager and Officer Insurance.

(a) The Companies shall, and Sellers shall cause the Companies, at the Buyers’ expense, to obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the officers or managers (or other similar positions) of the Companies, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that the Companies shall not be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of two times the last annual premium paid prior to the date hereof.

(b) The obligations of Buyers and the Companies under this Section 7.12 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any officer or manager (or other similar position) to whom this Section 7.12 applies without the consent of such affected officer or manager (or other similar position) (it being expressly agreed that the officer or manager (or other similar position) to whom this Section 7.12 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.12, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 7.12).

(a) Sellers agree to provide, or to cause their Affiliates to provide, Buyers with the services set forth on Schedule 7.13(a) for a period of up to six months following the Closing Date. Buyers agree to promptly reimburse Sellers for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection

with providing services under this Section 7.13(a). Buyers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers from any Losses arising in connection with the provision of services under this Section 7.13(a), except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers.

Sellers agree to promptly reimburse Buyers for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with providing services under this Section 7.13(b). Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyers from any Losses arising in connection with the provision of services under this Section 7.13(b), except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyers.

7.14 Supplement to Disclosure Schedules. From time to time prior to the Closing, Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which Sellers become aware after the date hereof (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the condition set forth in Section 2.5(a) have been satisfied; provided, however, that if the matters disclosed in such Schedule Supplement would give rise to the Buyers having a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c) and Buyers do not elect to terminate this Agreement within five Business Days of their receipt of such Schedule Supplement, then Buyers shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter.

7.15 Contribution of Proprietary Rights. Sellers shall contribute, or shall cause their Affiliates to contribute, to the Companies the Proprietary Rights set forth on Schedule 7.15 on or prior to the Closing Date.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

8.1 Tax Covenants.

(a) Each Party shall be responsible for calculating, filing and paying their corresponding Taxes arising from the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Pursuant to Articles 153 and 161 and other applicable articles of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto sobre la Renta) the Parties hereto agree that Sellers have chosen to pay the income Taxes through a designated agent pursuant to Article 161, sixth paragraph, of the Mexican Income Tax Law, and therefore, no Taxes shall be withheld by Buyers upon payment of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price.

(b) Except as provided in Section 8.1(c), Sellers shall bear sole responsibility for payment of, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyers and their Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Companies) against, all Taxes (except for Taxes, if any, taken into account in computing the Final Closing Purchase Price) imposed on the Companies, with respect to any assets of the Companies, or with respect to the Companies Membership Interests for (i) all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (ii) the portions of all Straddle Periods ending on the Closing Date and (iii) all taxable periods, whether ending prior to, on or after the Closing Date, with respect to the Excluded Assets.

(c) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne equally between Buyers and Sellers and paid by Buyers and Sellers when due. The Party required by Law to file Tax Returns relating to such Taxes shall prepare and timely file any such Tax Return (and the other Parties shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(d) Buyers shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Companies after the Closing Date with respect to Taxes from the period before Closing. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Buyers to Sellers (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Sellers, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Sellers object to any item on any such Tax Return on the basis that the item is not reflected in a manner consistent with the previous sentence, Sellers shall, within ten days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyers in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyers and Sellers are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Buyers of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Auditor and any determination by the Independent Auditor shall be final. The Independent Auditor shall resolve any disputed items within 20 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Auditor is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyers and then amended to reflect the Independent Auditor’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor and any fees or penalties related to an amendment shall be borne equally by Buyers and Sellers. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Companies for a Post-Closing Tax Period that does not relate to Taxes from the period before closing shall be exclusively within the control of Buyers.

8.2 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Companies shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after such date, none of the Companies, Sellers or Seller’s Affiliates shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

8.3 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Taxes from the period ending on the Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

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

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

8.4 Contests. Buyers agree to give written notice to Sellers of the receipt of any written notice by the Companies, Buyers or any of Buyers’ Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyers pursuant to this Article VIII (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyers’ right to indemnification hereunder. No Tax Claim shall be subject to the limitation on indemnity set forth in Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b). Buyers shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Buyers shall obtain the prior written consent of Sellers (which consent

shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Tax Claim or ceasing to defend such Tax Claim; and, provided further, that Sellers shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which counsel shall be borne solely by Sellers.

8.5 Cooperation. Sellers and Buyers shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VIII or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Companies. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Sellers and Buyers shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Companies for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other Party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Companies for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Sellers or Buyers (as the case may be) shall provide the other Party with reasonable written notice and offer the other Party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

8.6 Purchase Price Allocation. No later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyers shall prepare and deliver to Sellers for their review and comment a statement setting forth allocation of the sum of the relevant portion of the Purchase Price (and Liabilities or any other items treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Companies among the relevant Company assets, which allocation shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and all applicable U.S. Treasury regulations (the “Allocation”). Sellers shall notify Buyers in writing within 30 days after receipt of the Allocation of any reasonable objections Sellers may have with the Allocation, in which case Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Allocation. The Allocation finally determined pursuant to agreement of the Parties, if any, shall be used by the Parties (and, as relevant, their Affiliates) for all purposes, including preparation and filing of IRS Form 8594, and no Party or its Affiliates shall take or assert any position inconsistent with the final Allocation except to the extent required by Law or to reflect further adjustments to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. At any time prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned:

(a) by the mutual consent of Buyers and Sellers as evidenced in writing signed by each of Buyers and Sellers;

(b) by Sellers, if Buyers shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any representation or warranty of Buyers shall have become untrue, in any case such that the conditions set forth in Section 2.6 would not be satisfied (assuming for purposes of this Section 9.1(b) that the references in Section 2.6 to “Closing Date” mean the date of termination pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)), and such breach shall not be curable, or, if curable, shall not have been cured within 30 days after written notice of such breach is given to Buyers by Sellers; provided, however, that Sellers may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) if either Seller is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that Buyers would then be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(c) (without giving effect to the proviso in Section 9.1(c));

(c) by Buyers, if any Seller shall have breached any representation or warranty or failed to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any representation or warranty of either Seller shall have become untrue, in any case such that the conditions set forth in Section 2.5 would not be satisfied, or if any event, transaction, condition, circumstance or change has occurred such that the condition set forth in Section 2.5(d) would not be satisfied (assuming for purposes of this Section 9.1(c) that the references in Section 2.5 to “Closing Date” mean the date of termination pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)), and such breach shall not be curable, or, if curable, shall not have been cured within 30 days after written notice of such breach is given to Sellers by Buyers; provided, however, that Buyers may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) if it is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that Sellers would then be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(b) (without giving effect to the proviso in Section 9.1(b));

(d) by either Buyers or Sellers if any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction has issued a final, non-appealable order, decree, ruling or injunction (other than a temporary restraining order) or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(e) by either Buyers or Sellers, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated by May 30, 2018; provided, however, that neither Buyers nor Sellers will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) if such Person’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

If Buyers or Sellers propose to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1, Buyers or Sellers, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the other of such termination, which notice shall include a statement describing in reasonable detail the breach or other circumstances giving rise to such termination, together with supporting documentation.

9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect and no Party shall have any further right or obligation under this Agreement, except (a) that nothing herein shall relieve a Party from any liability for any Willful Breach of this Agreement, (b) under the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect and (c) under the provisions of Section 7.8, this Section 9.2, Article X and the applicable definitions relating to the foregoing provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. For purposes of this Section 9.2, “Willful Breach” shall mean a material breach that is a consequence of an act or a failure to take such act by the breaching Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act (or the failure to take such act) would cause a material breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

10.3 Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by Sellers or Buyers (except by operation of Law) without the prior written consent of Sellers and Buyers. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, without the prior written consent of Sellers, each Buyer and its permitted assigns may at any time, in its sole discretion, assign, in whole or in part, (a) its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to one

or more of its Affiliates; (b) its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to Buyers, the Companies, such permitted assign or any of their Affiliates and any such lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of Buyers or such permitted assign hereunder and thereunder; and (c) its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in whole or in part, to any subsequent purchaser of Buyers, the Companies, such permitted transferee or any of their divisions or any material portion of their assets (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 10.3, no assignment permitted by this Agreement shall release Buyers from any of its obligations contained herein.

10.4 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.5 Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. The “Disclosure Schedules” means all of the Schedules referenced herein. Any items listed or described in one Schedule of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to have been set forth in all other applicable Schedules of the Disclosure Schedules where such disclosure would be appropriate and the relevance of the disclosure to such other Schedules of the Disclosure Schedules is reasonably apparent on its face. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Disclosure Schedules may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of Buyers and the disclosure by Sellers of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by Sellers or the Companies that the matter is material. In addition, the inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be construed as an admission of Liability to any third party with respect to the matters covered by such information. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that any Purchase Price adjustments as a result of the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other of the Transaction Documents do not prejudice or limit in any respect whatsoever any Party’s rights to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to any Applicable Law. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation regardless of whether such words are included in some contexts but not others.

10.6 Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.

10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Applicable Law of the State of Oklahoma, United States of America, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Oklahoma.

10.10 Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement.

10.11 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PROPERLY (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY) LIE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN TULSA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION.

10.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each Party (a) certifies that no Representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.12.

10.13 Delivery by Facsimile and Portable Document Format. This Agreement and any other Transaction Document, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or in portable document format (“PDF”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original Contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party hereto or to any other Transaction Documents, each other Party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other Parties. No Party hereto or to any other Transaction Documents shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or PDF to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or Transaction Document was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or PDF as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each such Party forever waives any such defense.

10.14 Drafting. The Parties hereto acknowledge that each Party was actively involved in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that no Law or rule of construction shall be raised or used in which the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in favor or against a Party hereto because one is deemed to be the author thereof.

10.15 Limited Guaranty.

(a) Buyers Parent (i) is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Mississippi and (ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyers Parent and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Buyers Parent, enforceable against Buyers Parent in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Law affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(b) Buyers Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Sellers the performance in full by Buyers of the obligations of Buyers hereunder, including the obligations under Article VI and Article VII, up to a maximum amount of $55,000,000, for a period (the “Buyers Parent Guaranty Period”) beginning on the date of this Agreement and terminating on the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Buyers Parent Guaranty Period shall continue after such third anniversary solely with respect to any indemnification claim for which notice has been given prior to such third anniversary until the resolution of such claim. Buyers Parent hereby waives all defenses as a surety including notice, and agrees that its obligations under this Section 10.15(b) shall not be impaired, diminished or discharged by any extension of time granted by Sellers, by any course of dealing between the parties, or by any events or circumstances which might operate to discharge a guarantor. Buyers Parent shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until the expiration of the Buyers Parent Guaranty Period. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15(b), Buyers Parent waives the right to require Sellers to first proceed against Buyers with respect to any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, and agrees that any such dispute, controversy, or claim may be brought directly against Buyers Parent, Buyers, or against any one or more of them.

(c) Sellers Parent (i) is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and (ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Sellers Parent and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Sellers Parent, enforceable against Sellers Parent in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Law affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(d) Sellers Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyers the performance in full by Sellers of the obligations of Sellers hereunder, including the obligations under Article VI and Article VII, up to a maximum amount of $55,000,000, for a period (the “Sellers Parent Guaranty Period”) beginning on the date of this Agreement and terminating on the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Sellers Parent Guaranty Period shall continue after such third anniversary solely with respect to any indemnification claim for which notice has been given prior to such third anniversary until the resolution of such claim. Sellers Parent hereby waives all defenses as a surety including notice, and agrees that its obligations under this Section 10.15(d) shall not be impaired, diminished or discharged by any extension of time granted by Buyers, by any course of dealing between the parties, or by any events or circumstances which might operate to discharge a guarantor. Sellers Parent shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until the expiration of the Sellers Parent Guaranty Period. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15(d), Sellers Parent waives the right to require Buyers to first proceed against Sellers with respect to any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, and agrees that any such dispute, controversy, or claim may be brought directly against Sellers Parent, Sellers, or against any one or more of them.
