MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 3, 2023 (the “Execution Date”), is made and entered into by and between NGL MARINE, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Seller”), and MAGNOLIA MARINE TRANSPORT COMPANY, a Mississippi corporation (“Buyer”). Seller and Buyer shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Parties” and each, a “Party.”

WHEREAS, Seller is engaged in the business of providing marine transportation services for crude products to the oil and gas industry using the Vessels (the “Business”);

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, prior to the Closing, Seller will take the steps set forth on Annex B (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”), including the transfer of all Transferred Assets to Second Marine Logistics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, as of the Execution Date, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of the Company (the “Interests”);

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell and transfer to Buyer, and ▇▇▇▇▇ desires to purchase and acquire from Seller, the Interests, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, except as otherwise defined within the provisions hereof or as the context otherwise requires, the terms commencing with capital letters in this Agreement shall have the meanings given those terms in Annex A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

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

ARTICLE I

SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS, ASSUMPTION OF

LIABILITIES AND CONSIDERATION

1.1Sale and Purchase of Interests. At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, free and clear of any Liens, the Interests

1.2Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the sale and transfer of the Interests shall be an amount in cash equal to $27,615,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”) plus the Fuel Inventory Amount.

1.3Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, subject to the prorations contemplated by Section 2.4, Buyer shall pay to Seller (or Seller’s designee), in immediately available funds by wire transfer to one or more accounts to be designated by Seller no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an amount equal to (a) the Base Purchase Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 7.10), (b) plus the Fuel Inventory Amount, (c) minus the amount of all Asset Taxes allocated to Seller in accordance with Section 7.9(a) but paid or otherwise economically borne by Buyer, (d) plus the amount of all Asset Taxes allocated to Buyer in accordance with Section 7.9(a) but paid or otherwise economically borne by Seller, (e) minus the PTO Accrual Amount, (f) minus the Spares Purchase Price Adjustment, (g) minus Seller’s Portion of the Vessel Inspection Costs (the “Purchase Price”).

1.4Spares. If any Spare is not included in the Transferred Assets or owned by the Company at the Effective Time as a standalone asset (as compared to being installed in a Vessel), whether as a result of its installation in a Vessel following the Execution Date or otherwise, then the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the values allocated to each such Spare on Schedule 1.4 (the “Spares Purchase Price Adjustment”). At any time prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt notice of the installation of any Spare in a Vessel or the occurrence of any other circumstance that may lead to a Spare not being included in the Transferred Assets or owned by the Company as a standalone asset (as compared to being installed in a Vessel).

1.5Non-Assignment of Certain Transferred Assets. This Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or sell any Transferred Asset if an attempted assignment thereof without Consent would violate any right of any Third Party or any Law or Permit, and no breach of this Agreement shall have occurred by virtue of such non-assignment. If any Transferred Asset is not assigned as part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization as a consequence of this Section 1.5, then such Transferred Asset shall be deemed to be an Excluded Asset hereunder at the time of the Closing; provided that each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into arrangements to provide the Company with substantially the same economic claims, rights and benefits of any such asset pursuant to Section 7.4, and with respect to Permits, Seller shall comply with its obligations both before and after Closing concerning notice and cooperation with Permit transfers. If any such unobtained Consent is subsequently obtained after Closing, then (a) Seller shall notify Buyer and, as soon as practicable after receipt of such Consent, Seller shall sell, assign and convey the affected Transferred Asset to the Company (using the form of Assumed Contracts Assignment and Assumption Agreement or Bill of Sale, as applicable, mutatis mutandis), and (b) the affected Transferred Asset shall from and after such time be deemed to be a Transferred Asset.

ARTICLE II

Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all necessary Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable Law, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

No claim has ever been made by a Taxing Authority in a

jurisdiction in which Seller or the Company, as applicable, does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

(b)Upon receipt of reasonable prior written request from Buyer, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at Buyer’s expense, reasonably cooperate with Buyer in all respects, including the making available to Buyer of Seller’s and such Affiliates’ employees as witnesses or deponents as Buyer may reasonably request, in each case for the purpose of investigating Claims or in connection with any pending or threatened Actions in respect of Third Parties or Governmental Entities relating to pre-Closing matters of the Business and the other businesses of Seller and its Affiliates.

For so long as Seller or Buyer, as applicable, is contesting or defending a Third Party Action or any Claim described in Section 6.2, each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party, its respective Affiliates and their respective counsel in their efforts to conduct or resolve such matters; provided that the cooperating Party shall be reimbursed by the other Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with providing such cooperation.

Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) replace, as of the Closing, any performance bond, guaranty or other credit support arrangement listed on Schedule 6.4 or otherwise corresponding to any Assumed Contract and any financial assurances provided in connection with any Existing Permits, and (ii) provide that, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates be released from any and all obligations under any such performance bond, guaranty or other credit support arrangement; provided, however, that any failure by ▇▇▇▇▇ to obtain such release within such thirty (30) day period shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement as long as Buyer is diligently pursuing such release. Whether or not Buyer is able to replace such arrangements and obtain a release of Seller, Buyer shall assume responsibility under all such performance bonds, guarantees or other credit support arrangements, and shall indemnify Seller for any Losses under any such performance bonds, guarantees or other credit support arrangements from and after the Effective Time.

6.5Insurance. ▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that all insurance policies maintained by Seller or the Company in respect of the Transferred Assets may be terminated by Seller and the Company as of the Effective Time. Buyer further agrees not to, and shall require that none of its Affiliates shall, make any Claims under such insurance policies, except in accordance with Section 7.10. ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to arrange insurance coverage for itself and the Transferred Assets as of the Effective Time with insurers of its own choice. Buyer further acknowledges that it has no right, title or interest in any unearned premiums on any insurance policies maintained by Seller or the Company.

6.6Intellectual Property.

(a)Seller shall not be obligated to assign to or procure for Buyer or the Company any rights or benefits under any Intellectual Property, including Intellectual Property licensed from Third Parties that is used or useful in the operation of any of the Transferred Assets and the Business as conducted by Seller prior to the Closing, other than the Acquired IT Systems.

ARTICLE VII

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF SELLER AND BUYER

7.2Injunctions. Except as otherwise provided herein (including in Section 7.5), if any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over any Party issues or otherwise promulgates any Order that prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to (a) have such injunction dissolved or otherwise eliminated as promptly as possible and (b) pursue any underlying Action diligently and in good faith prior to and after the Closing.

7.3Payments Received. Seller and Buyer agree that after the Closing they shall hold and promptly transfer and deliver to the other Party, from time to time as and when received by them, any cash or checks with appropriate endorsements (using their commercially reasonable efforts not to convert such checks into cash), or other property (including cash refunds of Asset Taxes pursuant to Section 7.9(c)) that they may receive at or after the Closing which properly belongs to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.4.

7.4Permits; Transfers; Cooperation. Prior to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) obtain all Required Third Party Consents (other than Post-Closing Consents); and (b) submit applications, notices and other information to Governmental Entities that is required to be submitted or provided by Seller in connection with the transfer to the Company of the rights existing under the Existing Permits and the Post-Closing Consents. From and after the Execution Date until one (1) year after Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and assist Buyer in identifying and obtaining all Post-Closing Consents and Permits necessary for the Company to own and operate the Transferred Assets from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that after Closing Seller shall not be required to assume any liability or obligation in connection with the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

7.5Consents and Approvals.

(a)Prior to the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transaction as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event after the Outside Date, including the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required pursuant to applicable Law to be filed to consummate the Transaction and the taking of such actions as are

necessary to obtain any requisite approvals, authorizations, Consents, releases, Orders, licenses, Permits, qualifications, exemptions, waiting period expirations or terminations or waivers by any Third Party or Governmental Entity. Each such Party shall promptly inform the other Party of any communication (oral or written) to with or from a Governmental Entity, and provide copies of any written communication to, with or from, any Governmental Entity regarding any such filings. No Party shall independently initiate or participate in any meeting or discussion, either in person, writing or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other Party prior notice of the meeting and discussion and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and participate. Neither Party shall be obligated to share any information that contains attorney-client information or work product absent the entry of a mutually agreeable joint defense agreement.

(b)Each Party shall be responsible for and shall pay all of its fees, expenses and costs in complying with this Section 7.5.

7.6Public Announcements. Except as may be required of such Party or its Affiliates under applicable Law or stock exchange rules or to the extent necessary for a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, neither Party shall issue any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that a Party may make public disclosure as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with customary presentations, meetings and conference calls with investors and analysts (in which case the disclosing Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other Party reasonable time to review and comment on the text of the proposed disclosure prior to making such disclosure).

7.7Confidentiality.

(a)The Parties agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of that certain Confidentiality Agreement between Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ entered into on December 15, 2022 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). The Parties further agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and all transaction documents and all communications in connection with the negotiation of the foregoing shall be deemed “Confidential Information” as such term is defined in, and subject to, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

(b)For a period of two (2) years following the Closing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose any information to any Person related to the transaction contemplated herein (including any terms and conditions), except as may be approved by the other Party (the “Restricted Information”). For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential, and not disclose or use, except as otherwise expressly permitted herein or as required for the performance of the Ancillary Agreements, all confidential, proprietary and non-public information (whether or not specifically labeled or identified as “confidential” and whether written or oral) that relates to the Business (“Business Confidential Information”). The obligation to keep such Restricted Information and Business Confidential Information confidential shall not apply to any information which (i) is in the public domain as of the Effective Date, (ii) is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the disclosing Party or its Affiliates or (iii) becomes available to the disclosing Party or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source that did not acquire such information (directly or indirectly) from the non-disclosing Party or its Affiliates.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may make disclosures as required by applicable Law, stock exchange rule or any Governmental Entity and in connection with disputes

hereunder; provided that the Party requested to disclose Restricted Information or Business Confidential Information, as applicable, to the extent practicable, shall deliver to the other Party notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the day the disclosing Party is to disclose any Restricted Information or Business Confidential Information, as applicable, so that the other Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.7.

7.8Further Assurances. After the Closing, each Party shall take such further actions, including obtaining Consents from Third Parties, and execute such further documents as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by any other Party in order to effectuate the intent of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to provide such other Party with the intended benefits of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from time to time during the 60-day period following the Closing, Seller shall make the Employees (other than the Transferred Employees) available to Buyer and the Company during normal business hours for the purpose of answering questions, transferring knowledge and expertise regarding the historical operation of the Business and the Transferred Assets, and otherwise providing such consultation and assistance as may reasonably be requested by Buyer and the Company (having due regard for the employment obligations of such Employees to Seller and its Affiliates) in connection with the transition of the Business and the Transferred Assets from Seller to the Company and Buyer. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for Seller’s and its Affiliates’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of providing such assistance, including direct costs for the time of such Employees.

7.9Tax Matters.

(a)Asset Taxes.

(i)Seller shall be allocated and bear (i) all Asset Taxes attributable to any Tax period ending prior to the Effective Time and (ii) its pro rata share of Asset Taxes attributable to any Straddle Period (based on the number of days of ownership in such Straddle Period). Buyer shall be allocated and bear (i) all Asset Taxes attributable to any Tax period beginning at or after the Effective Time and (ii) its pro rata share of Asset Taxes attributable to any Straddle Period (based on the number of days of ownership in such Straddle Period).

(ii)To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax is not known at the time an adjustment is to be made with respect to such Asset Tax pursuant to Section 1.3, the Parties shall utilize the most recent information available in estimating the amount of such Asset Tax for purposes of such adjustment. To the extent the actual amount of an Asset Tax paid or economically borne by a Party is ultimately determined to be different than the amount (if any) that was taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.3, timely payments will be made from one Party to the other to the extent necessary to cause each Party to bear the amount of such Asset Tax that is allocable to such Party under this Section 7.9.

(b)Tax Returns.

(i)Seller shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns of the Company (after giving effect to any valid extensions of the due date for filing any such Tax Returns) for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall submit such Tax Returns to Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (after giving effect to any valid extensions) of such Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and approval. Seller shall implement any comments reasonably provided by Buyer at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date (after giving effect to any valid extensions) of such Tax Returns.

(ii)Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns of the Company (after giving effect to any valid extensions of the due date for filing any such Tax Returns) for any Straddle Period. Buyer shall submit such Tax Returns to Seller for review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (after giving effect to any valid extensions) of such Straddle Period Tax Returns. Buyer shall consider in good faith any comments reasonably provided by Seller at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date (after giving effect to any valid extensions) of such Straddle Period Tax Returns.

(iii)In the case of any Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period and based on or measured by income, gross or net receipts, sales, or payroll, the portion of such Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period will be determined on the basis of a deemed closing of the books and records of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date. In the case of any other Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period that are not Asset Taxes (the allocation of which is determined pursuant to Section 7.9(a)), the portion of such Taxes attributable to the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period will be equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. For the avoidance of doubt, for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income Tax purposes, any liability that is assumed by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that is attributable to deferred revenue shall not be treated as giving rise to taxable income of Buyer or its Affiliates under ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corp. v. Commissioner, 326 F.2d 67 (8th Cir. 1964), and the Parties shall not take a Tax position that is inconsistent with the treatment described in the immediately preceding clause.

(c)Tax Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to any and all cash refunds of Asset Taxes for Tax periods allocated to Seller pursuant to Section 7.9(a), and Buyer shall be entitled to any and all cash refunds of Asset Taxes for Tax periods allocated to Buyer pursuant to Section 7.9(a). If a Party or its Affiliate receives a refund of Asset Taxes to which any other Party is entitled pursuant to this Section7.9(c), such recipient Party shall forward to the entitled Party the amount of such refund within thirty (30) days after such refund is received, net of any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by such recipient Party in procuring such refund; provided that nothing in this Section 7.9(c) shall obligate a Party or its Affiliates to take any action to obtain such refunds.

(d)Tax Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each Party shall provide such assistance as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns required to be filed, any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority, any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for Taxes, or any Claim for refund in respect of such Taxes, including making available employees for interviews, litigation preparation and testimony. The requesting Party shall reimburse the assisting Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the assisting Party after having received the prior written approval therefor from the requesting Party.

(e)Purchase Price Allocation. Buyer shall allocate the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and any other items constituting consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, as of the Closing, among the Transferred Assets as set forth in Schedule 7.9(e) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Seller and Buyer shall report consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation in all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement) under Section 1060 of the Code, which Buyer and Seller shall timely file with the IRS, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall take any position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation unless required to do so by (i) applicable Law or (ii) final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code. Each of Seller and Buyer agree to promptly advise each other regarding the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the Purchase Price Allocation.

(f)Withholding. Buyer may deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement amounts that Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or other provision of any Law. Any such amounts so deducted or withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

7.10Casualty Loss.

(a)If, during the Interim Period, all or any portion of a Vessel is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part (the portion of such Vessel so damaged or destroyed, the “Damaged Portion”), whether by fire, theft, vandalism, flood, wind, explosion or other casualty (a “Casualty Event”), Seller shall notify Buyer promptly in writing (a “Casualty Event Notice”) of the Casualty Event. The Casualty Event Notice shall include: (i) a reasonable description of the facts and circumstances surrounding the Casualty Event; (ii) Seller’s preliminary assessment of the effect of the Casualty Event on the Transferred Assets; and (iii) Seller’s preliminary assessment of whether, and the extent to which, any losses sustained as a result of such Casualty Event are covered by one or more insurance policies (including property/casualty and workers’ compensation policies) maintained immediately prior to the Closing by Seller.

(b)If: (i) Seller reasonably expects the Damaged Portion resulting from a Casualty Event can be fully repaired or restored in accordance with applicable Laws on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of the Casualty Event (the “Casualty Event Termination Date”); and (ii) the damage due to the Casualty Event is greater than ten percent (10%) of the Base Purchase Price, then Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to either (A) proceed with the Closing and repair and restore such Damaged Portion at Buyer’s expense, and Buyer shall be entitled to all of the insurance proceeds which Seller or any of its Affiliates actually receive with respect to such Casualty Event, or (B) notify Seller that Buyer does not elect to repair and restore such Damaged Portion, at which ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ can elect to either (1) repair or restore such Damaged Portion by the Casualty Event Termination Date (in which case the provisions of Section 7.10(c) shall apply), or (2) not repair or restore such Damaged Portion by the Casualty Event Termination Date (in which case the provisions of Section 7.10(d) shall apply). If Seller reasonably expects the Damaged Portion resulting from a Casualty Event cannot be fully repaired or restored in accordance with applicable Laws on or before the Casualty Event Termination Date, then either Party may either (i) proceed with the Closing and elect to exclude such Vessel from the Transferred Assets, and reduce the Base Purchase Price by the amount applicable to such Vessel set forth on Schedule 7.10 (and (x) neither Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be affected in any way; and (y) no breach of any representations or warranties under this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such Casualty Event) or (ii) agree to a mutually acceptable solution related thereto.

(c)If, with respect to any Casualty Event described in Section 7.10(b) that Buyer elected not to repair and restore such Damaged Portion, Seller elects to repair or restore such Damaged Portion by the Casualty Event Termination Date, then: (i) Seller shall promptly commence and diligently execute the repair and/or restoration of such Damaged Portion to the condition thereof immediately prior to such Casualty Event in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with applicable Laws at its sole cost and expense; (ii) Seller shall be entitled to all of the insurance proceeds with respect to such Casualty Event; (iii) such Casualty Event shall have no effect for purposes of determining whether Buyer’s conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 have been fulfilled; and (iv) the Closing shall be delayed for such reasonable time as is necessary but not beyond the Casualty Event Termination Date for Seller to complete any such repair or restoration.

(d)If, with respect to any Casualty Event described in Section 7.10(b) that Buyer elected not to repair and restore such Damaged Portion, Seller elects not to repair or restore such Damaged Portion by the Casualty Event Termination Date, then Buyer shall proceed to Closing, and (i) neither Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be affected in any way; and (ii) no breach of any

representations or warranties under this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such Casualty Event; provided that Buyer shall elect, by notice to Seller not later than fifteen (15) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s election not to repair or restore such Damaged Portion, to either: (A) exclude such Vessel from the Transferred Assets, and reduce the Base Purchase Price by the amount applicable to such Vessel set forth on Schedule 7.10 or (B) receive all of the insurance proceeds which Seller or any of its Affiliates actually receive with respect to such Casualty Event.

(e)If the damage caused by the Casualty Event is ten percent (10%) of the Base Purchase Price or less, then: (i) neither Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be affected in any way; (ii) no breach of any representations or warranties under this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such Casualty Event; and (iii) Buyer shall be entitled to all of the insurance proceeds which Seller or any of its Affiliates actually receive with respect to such Casualty Event.

8.1Employment Offers to Active Employees. On the Closing Date, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer may in its sole discretion, make, or cause its designee to make, employment offers to any Employees (including Employees on Leave) on such terms and conditions determined by Buyer or its Affiliate. All active Employees who accept employment with Buyer or ▇▇▇▇▇’s Affiliate and who subsequently become employees of Buyer or ▇▇▇▇▇’s Affiliate are referred to herein as “Transferred Employees”.

8.2Transfer Time.

(a)Subject to Closing occurring, all Transferred Employees shall become employees of Buyer or one of Buyer’s Affiliates (including the Company) effective as of the Effective Time. Buyer or such Buyer’s Affiliate shall be responsible for payment of all salaries and benefits and all other costs and liabilities relating to services provided by the Transferred Employees after the Effective Time; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.2(a) shall be interpreted as a commitment by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to provide a certain level of salary, bonus opportunity or benefits to any Transferred Employee.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a), except as specifically set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii), Buyer shall have no obligations whatsoever for any compensation or other amounts payable to any Employee, including, without limitation, hourly pay, commission, bonus, salary, fringe, or pension or profit sharing benefits for any period relating to the Employees’ service with Seller or the Company at any time at or prior to the Effective Time and Seller shall pay all such amounts to all entitled persons.

8.3Cessation of Participation in Seller’s or its Affiliates’ Employee Benefit Arrangements.

(a)Effective as of the Effective Time, the Transferred Employees shall cease active participation in the Employee Benefit Plans of Seller or its Affiliates.

Seller also shall remain solely responsible for all worker’s compensation claims of any Employees which relate to events, conditions or exposures occurring prior to the Effective Time.

(b)Seller shall be liable for all obligations under COBRA as to any M&A Qualified Beneficiary already receiving COBRA continuation coverage on or before Effective Time, any employee or former employee of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller, and any spouse or dependent thereof, who is eligible to receive continuation coverage under COBRA with respect to whom the “election period” (as defined in

Section 4980(B)(f)(5) of the Code) has not expired, or any employee or former employee of Seller, and any spouse or dependent thereof, who becomes an M&A Qualified Beneficiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of whether Buyer is deemed a successor employer under Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q/A-8.

8.4PTO. At and subject to the occurrence of the Closing, Buyer hereby assumes, or at Buyer’s option, shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer (including the Company) to assume, all liabilities and obligations for paid time off under any Seller Plan with respect to the Transferred Employees that accrued prior to the Effective Time to the extent included in the PTO Accrual Amount. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver a certificate to Buyer (the “PTO Accrual Certificate”) certifying to such accrued paid time off liability with respect to each Transferred Employee, whether or not and to what extent the amount of accrued paid time off has vested as of the Effective Time, and the total accrued liability of Seller for such paid time off with respect to the Transferred Employees (the “PTO Accrual Amount”).

8.5Service Credit. For purposes of eligibility, benefit accrual and vesting under the Employee Benefit Plans of Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliate providing benefits to the Transferred Employees at or after the Effective Time (the “Buyer Plans”), Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliate shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit each such Transferred Employee with his or her years of service with Seller or Seller’s Affiliate or their predecessors prior to the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled to credit for such service under any similar Employee Benefit Plan of Seller or Seller’s Affiliate immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Buyer Plans (a) not to deny such employees coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions, (b) to waive all exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage (to the extent that exclusions and waiting periods were waived under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan of Seller or its Affiliate) and (c) to credit such employees for any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid (including prior to the Effective Time) in the year of initial participation in the Buyer Plans.

8.6Benefits – Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the Effective Time, Seller and Seller’s Affiliate shall not be liable to Buyer or its Affiliates or any Transferred Employees or any other Person for any obligations arising out of participation by Transferred Employees in the Employee Benefit Plans of Buyer or any Buyer’s Affiliate.

8.7WARN Act. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any and all obligations and liabilities as a consequence of the Transaction arising under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 2101 et seq. (the “WARN Act”), or under any similar provision of any federal, state, regional, foreign or local law, rule or regulation (collectively, “WARN Obligations”) for its actions taken after the Effective Time. Seller shall be solely responsible for WARN Obligations for its actions taken before the Effective Time.

8.8No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any benefit plan, program or agreement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Buyer or its Affiliate. No Employee (including the Transferred Employees) or any other Person (other than the Parties) is intended to be a beneficiary of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)The covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall terminate as of, and shall not survive beyond, the Closing for all purposes, including any right to damages under any theory or cause of action, and there shall be no liability in respect thereof, including but not limited to liability for breach of, default in, or failure to perform any such covenants or agreements whether such liability has accrued prior to or after the Closing, on the part of any Party, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives, except for those covenants and agreements that by their terms apply or are to be performed, in whole or in part, at or after the Closing, including the Company’s obligation to perform the Assumed Liabilities, which obligations specifically survive the Closing in accordance with their terms and, if no explicit survival is provided for, until the earlier of (i) the date on which they have been fully performed and (ii) 60 days following the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (each such date of survival described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), as applicable, the “Expiration Date”).

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses of this Section 11.1, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate solely to the extent that an Indemnified Party delivers written notice to an Indemnifying Party of a claim for indemnification prior to the Expiration Date of such representation, warranty or covenant, with such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is subject to such claim for indemnification surviving only with respect to such claim (and solely with respect to the matters specifically described in any applicable claim notice delivered in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable) until such time as such claim is finally resolved or judicially determined. The Expiration Date shall not apply in the case of fraud, claims in respect of which shall not be subject to any time limitation.

11.2Indemnification of Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Buyer and its directors, employees, officers and Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses, based upon, arising out of or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a result of any of the following:

(a)any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties of Seller, in each case made by Seller herein, in any Ancillary Agreement, or in any certificate delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(b)any breach or default in performance by Seller after the Closing of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement required to be performed on or after the Closing;

(c)any Excluded Asset or Retained Liability, including, without limitation, the matters set forth on Schedule 11.2(c); or

11.3Indemnification of Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Seller and its directors, employees, officers and Affiliates and its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses, based upon, arising out of or incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of any of the following:

(a)any breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any of the representations and warranties of Buyer, in each case made by Buyer herein, in any Ancillary Agreement, or in any certificate delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(b)any breach or default in performance by ▇▇▇▇▇ after the Closing of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement required to be performed on or after the Closing; or

The Losses giving rise to any indemnification obligation hereunder shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds or other payment or monetary recoupment actually received, realized or retained by any Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, net of any third party expenses related to the receipt of such proceeds, payment or recoupment, including any retrospective or prospective premium adjustments to the extent attributable to such claim. The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the applicable Indemnifying Party of any such proceeds, payments or monetary recoupment actually received by the Indemnified Party and to the extent an Indemnifying Party has previously made any payment to the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses and such amounts would have reduced the liability of the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses if received prior to any such payment by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall: (i) if such Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, promptly pay to Seller, or (ii) if such Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnified Party, promptly pay to Buyer, in each case, any amount obtained thereby.

11.5Limitations; Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from (i) Seller arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Section 11.2(a) or (ii) Buyer, arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Section 11.3(a), be, in each case, greater than an amount, in the aggregate, equal to $138,075.00.

(b)If any single claim or group of related claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party that is subject to indemnity from (i) Seller arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Section 11.2(a) or (ii) Buyer, arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Section 11.3(a), results in aggregate Losses to such Indemnified Party that do not exceed $10,000, such Losses shall not be deemed to be Losses under this Agreement and shall not be eligible for indemnification under this Article XI.

(c)Following the Closing, except for claims based on any fraud of Seller or Buyer and except as specifically provided in Section 12.8, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Article XI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies for recovery by any Party for any claim arising out of or based on this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or in any certificate delivered

by the Parties as part of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including claims based upon any breach, inaccuracy, inadequacy or incompleteness of a representation or warranty of any other Party, or based on the failure of such other Party to perform any covenant, agreement or undertaking that the terms hereof or thereof required to be performed by such Party at or prior to the Closing, and none of the Parties shall be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or in any certificate delivered by the Parties as part of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or to any further indemnification rights or claims or remedies of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof, all of which the Parties hereby waived. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall preclude (i) Buyer from asserting or otherwise maintaining, in any Action or otherwise, that any liability is a Retained Liability and therefore is the responsibility of Seller and not an obligation of Buyer or the Company, or (ii) Seller from asserting or maintaining, in any Action or otherwise, that any liability is an Assumed Liability and therefore is the responsibility of the Company and not an obligation of Seller.

11.6Indemnification Procedures.

(a)Other than in respect of a Third Party Claim, any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying party or parties under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), written notice (setting forth in reasonable detail (taking into account the information then reasonably available to the Indemnified Party) the basis for any such claim, including (i) the amount of Losses (calculated in good faith) if known and quantifiable (including the method of computation thereof), (ii) a reference to the provision(s) of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises and (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, reasonable supporting information and calculations), promptly (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days) upon first determining (acting in good faith) that a claim is indemnifiable pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such notice within such timeframe shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

(b)If any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party of the commencement of any Action involving a third party (such Action, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall, if such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, promptly (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days) upon first determining (acting in good faith) that a claim is indemnifiable pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as applicable, give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such Third Party Claim (setting forth in reasonable detail (taking into account the information then reasonably available to the Indemnified Party) the basis for any such claim, including (i) the amount of Losses (calculated in good faith) if known and quantifiable (including the method of computation thereof), (ii) a reference to the provision(s) of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises and (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, reasonable supporting information and calculations); provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such notice within such timeframe shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

(c)The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice which is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, (iii) with respect to any Third Party Claim under Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(b), such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the amount then available for indemnification, (iv) the Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Indemnified Party’s business or relates to its

customers, suppliers, vendors or other service providers, (v) the Indemnifying Party has failed to defend in good faith, within twenty (20) Business Days following such Indemnifying Party’s receipt of a written notice specifying in reasonable detail any such failure, the Third Party Claim, or (vi) with respect to such Action, the Indemnified Party concludes in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that a conflict of interests exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as a result of the Indemnifying Party’s control over such proceedings; provided that the Indemnified Party agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party in connection with Third Party Claims described in subsections (iii) through (vi) of this Section 11.6(c). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, it shall not settle the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) the settlement does not entail any admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party, (B) the settlement includes an unconditional release of each Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all matters with respect to such Third Party Claim and (C) such settlement only involves the payment of money. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ, at its own expense, one firm of counsel (for the benefit of all Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates) and one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (for the benefit of all Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates), in each case separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in all instances in which the Indemnified Party is entitled to retain counsel of its choice under this Agreement, including in the event that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the Action and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the fees, costs and expenses of each such counsel shall be Losses indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI, as may be applicable.

(d)Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI, unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in Section 11.6(c), the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner that it deems appropriate and is otherwise in compliance with its obligations in this Agreement (acting in good faith), which fees and expenses shall be Losses indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI, as may be applicable. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall, directly or indirectly, admit any liability with respect to, consent to the entry of any judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of, the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e)Each Party shall reasonably cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, including by providing the Indemnifying Party (and its representatives) with reasonable access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, to any documents, employees, witnesses and other Persons and information in such Indemnified Party’s (or its Affiliates) respective access or control to the extent reasonably requested by such Indemnifying Party. Any consent to be given by, determination or calculation to be made by, or notice to be provided to, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may be given or made by or to Buyer acting on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and any consent to be given by, determination or calculation to be made by, or notice to be provided to, the Seller Indemnified Parties may be given or made by or to Seller acting on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties.

(f)Each Indemnified Party shall comply with its common law duty of mitigation with respect to any Loss indemnifiable hereunder.

11.7Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. It is the intention of the Parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all U.S. federal, state, local and non‑U.S. Tax purposes, and the Parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Law or a final determination.

This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by all Parties. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived only in a writing signed by the Party to be charged with such waiver. No course of dealing between the Parties shall be effective to amend or waive any provision of this Agreement.

12.3Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced under applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

12.4Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.5Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Texas. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action with respect to the Transferred Assets, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof shall be brought and determined in any federal or state court located in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas. Each of the Parties hereby (a) irrevocably submits with regard to any such Action to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements or any transaction contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court or that such Action is brought in an inconvenient forum and (c) agrees that it shall not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements or any transaction contemplated hereby or the Transferred Assets in any court other than the above courts. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH

12.7Counterparts.

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “.pdf”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

12.8Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance.

(a)Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable harm, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Buyer’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if it is required to do so hereunder), in each case without posting a bond or undertaking and without needing to prove damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. The foregoing right shall include the right of each Seller to cause Buyer to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, in each case, if the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing). Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.

(b)To the extent any Party brings an Action or other similar process to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement) when expressly available to such Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (i) five (5) Business Days following the resolution of such Action or other similar process or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action or other similar process beyond the revised Outside Date as extended by this Section 12.8).
