(i)the Earnout Amount (if and when earned).

Section 2.3Estimated Closing Statement; Consideration Spreadsheet.

(a)At least five Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller prepared and delivered to Buyer:

From the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement until the Closing, Seller shall (to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein): (a) give Buyer and its authorized Representatives reasonable access to: (i) the books and records, work papers, trial balances and other supporting information relating to the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein and (ii) Seller and the Acquired Companies’ personnel and accountants involved in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement; (b) cooperate with and respond in good faith to Buyer’s reasonable requests related thereto; and (c) consider in good faith any proposed adjustments of Buyer and its authorized Representatives to the Estimated Closing Statement and make any reasonable and appropriate changes thereto that are, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, warranted;

(b)After receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall have 30 days to review the Closing Statement. Buyer shall make available to Seller and its authorized Representatives, upon written request: (i) the books and records, work papers, trial balances and other supporting information relating to the Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein; and (ii) Buyer’s and the Acquired Companies’ personnel and accountants involved in the preparation of the Closing Statement; provided, that Seller shall first obtain Buyer’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer on or prior to the 30th day after its receipt of the Closing Statement specifying in reasonable detail the amount, nature and basis of all disputed items (the “Dispute Notice”). Any items in the Closing Statement not specifically disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed agreed to by Seller. Buyer and Seller shall, within 30 days (or such longer period as Buyer and Seller may agree in writing) following delivery of the Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer by the 30th day after its receipt of the Closing Statement, such Closing Statement shall be deemed approved by Seller and will be final and conclusive.

(c)If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, there are any amounts remaining in dispute, then either Buyer or Seller may provide written notice to the other that it elects to submit the amounts remaining in dispute to the Neutral Accountants. Each Party agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Accountants, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities. The Neutral Accountants shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 2.4 and the presentations by Seller and Buyer, and not by independent review, only those issues still in dispute. There shall be no ex parte communications between either Seller or Buyer, on the one hand, and the Neutral Accountants, on the other hand, relating to those matters in dispute, other than the initial written submission by Seller and Buyer of their respective positions on the matters in dispute and written answers by Seller and Buyer to written questions from the Neutral Accountants. The Neutral Accountants shall be authorized to select only the position as to each item in dispute as presented by either Seller (on the one hand) or Buyer (on the other hand), it being acknowledged and agreed that the Neutral Accountants may agree with Seller on certain matters and Buyer on other matters and therefore potentially resulting in a determination in the aggregate that differs from that proposed by both Seller and Buyer. In making such calculations and determination, the Neutral Accountants (A) shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the definitions contained herein and (B) shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The Neutral Accountants’ determination shall be made within 30 days of submission of the amounts remaining in dispute, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Seller and Buyer and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the Neutral Accountants’ determination. The terms “Final Closing Cash Amount”, “Final Closing Indebtedness”, “Final Closing Transaction Expenses” and “Final Closing Net Working Capital” shall mean the definitive Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Closing Net Working Capital agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Buyer and Seller in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof or resulting from the determinations made by the Neutral Accountants in accordance with this Section 2.4(c) (in addition to those items theretofore agreed to by Seller and Buyer) (collectively, the “Final Statement”).

(d)Buyer and Seller shall bear the fees and other costs charged by the Neutral Accountants in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Neutral Accountants, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Neutral Accountants at the time the determination of the Neutral Accountants is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

For example, if Seller challenges items underlying the calculation of Net Working Capital in the net amount of $100,000, and the Neutral Accountants determines that Seller has a valid claim for $40,000 of the $100,000, Seller, on the one hand, shall bear 60% of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountants and Buyer, on the other hand, shall bear 40% of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountants. During the review by the Neutral Accountants, Seller and Buyer shall each make available, or cause their respective Representatives to make available, to the Neutral Accountants such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Neutral Accountants to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.4(c); provided, that the independent accountants of Seller and Buyer or the Acquired Companies shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Neutral Accountants unless and until the Neutral Accountants have signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants.

(e)Closing Payment Adjustment; Final Cash Purchase Price; Payment.

(i)The Closing Payment shall be: (i) increased dollar for dollar by the amount, if any, by which (A) the Final Closing Cash Amount exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, (B) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Final Closing Indebtedness, (C) the Estimated Transaction Expenses exceeds the Final Closing Transaction Expenses; and (D) the Final Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, or (ii) decreased dollar for dollar by the amount, if any, by which (A) the Estimated Closing Cash Amount exceeds the Final Closing Cash Amount, (B) the Final Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, (C) the Final Closing Transaction Expenses exceed the Estimated Transaction Expenses and (D) the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Final Closing Net Working Capital (the net adjustment of the calculations above shall be referred to as the “Closing Payment Adjustment”).

(ii)If the Closing Payment Adjustment is a positive amount, Buyer shall pay such amount via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller within five Business Days after the Final Statement becomes final, and subject to any deduction made in accordance with Section 2.5, the entirety of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller.

(iii)If the Closing Payment Adjustment is a negative amount Seller shall pay the amount of the Closing Payment Adjustment by via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Buyer within five Business Days after the Final Statement becomes final. Seller’s obligation to pay such amount shall first be satisfied from the Escrow Amount, and if the Escrow Amount is insufficient to pay such amount (the “Payment Deficit”), Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such Payment Deficit. If the amount of the Closing Payment Adjustment is less than the total Escrow Amount, any excess remaining after payment to Buyer shall be released to Seller subject to any deduction made in accordance with Section 2.5.

(iv)Any such payments under this Section 2.4(e) shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price paid for the Purchased Interests for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws.

Section 2.5Escrow Amount. On the Closing Date, the Escrow Amount will be deposited in an escrow account designated by the Escrow Agent to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement until released to Seller or Buyer, as set forth in Section 2.4(e). Seller shall pay all fees and expenses payable to the Escrow Agent. To the extent that, prior to the date of the release of the Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 2.4(e), any Liability is incurred by Buyer to maintain the AWS 401(k)

Plan in compliance with applicable Law for errors, events, actions, or circumstances that occurred prior to the Closing Date and that in the aggregate exceeds $100,000, such excess amount shall be satisfied from the Escrow Amount.

Section 2.6Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation.

(a)The Seller represents, acknowledges and agrees that each Acquired Company is an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for United States federal, state, and local income tax purposes under Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, and that the acquisition of the Purchased Interests will be treated as the taxable acquisition of the assets of each Acquired Company for federal income tax purposes (the “Intended Tax Treatment”); and Buyer and Seller agree not to report or take any tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) for United States federal, state, and local income tax purposes that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law).

(b)Within 60 days following the determination of the Final Statement, acting in good faith, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a proposed allocation of the consideration for the pro-rata portion of the assets of the Acquired Companies (as determined for federal income Tax purposes) among the assets of the Acquired Companies in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any analogous provisions of applicable Law (the “Proposed Tax Allocation”). Acting in good faith, Seller shall have 30 days following their receipt of the Proposed Tax Allocation (“Seller Review Period”) to propose any changes or indicate concurrence therewith, and Buyer shall consider any changes proposed by Seller in good faith. If Seller does not propose written changes to Buyer by the 30th day after receipt of the Proposed Tax Allocation, Buyer’s Proposed Tax Allocation shall be deemed approved by each Party (the “Final Allocation”). In the event Seller does not approve of the Proposed Tax Allocation, the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve any disagreements, and, if they do resolve all disputed matters, the Proposed Tax Allocation, as modified pursuant to such resolution, shall become the Final Allocation.  If, however, the Parties cannot reach agreement with respect to all disputed matters within 30 days after the Seller Review Period, each Party shall have the right to allocate the Total Consideration among the assets of the Acquired Companies on such Party’s IRS Form 8594 as such Party determines in good faith on the advice of its tax and accounting advisors. None of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates shall take any position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment or, in the event the Parties agree to a Final Allocation, the Final Allocation on any Tax Return or any Tax Proceeding, in each case, except to the extent required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law).

Section 2.7Earnout.

(a)Seller shall be eligible to receive deferred consideration in an aggregate cash amount not to exceed $5,000,000.00 (the “Earnout Amount”), as determined in accordance with this Section 2.7. If the EBITDA of the Acquired Companies with respect to the Earnout Period is equal to or greater than the EBITDA Target, then Buyer shall pay to Seller the applicable Earnout Amount in accordance with Section 2.7(c). If the EBITDA of the Acquired Companies as of the end of the Earnout Period is less than the EBITDA Target, then the Earnout Amount will not have been earned and will not be owed or payable (and will be forfeited). EBITDA of the Acquired Companies shall be calculated as defined in this Agreement and in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement.

(b)Within 60 days after the expiration of the Earnout Period, Buyer shall provide Seller with a written statement (the “Earnout Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith determination of the Earnout Amount owed to Seller, if any, along with the calculation of such Earnout Amount. Seller shall have the right to review the Earnout Statement and shall notify Buyer in writing within 30 days after receipt of the Earnout Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for any objection and shall provide supporting information and calculations with respect thereto.

The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts, if any. Any items in the Earnout Statement not disputed by Seller in writing within 30 days after receipt of the Earnout Statement will be deemed agreed to by the Parties. If no timely written objection by Seller has been given, the Earnout Statement, as prepared by Buyer, and as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between the Parties (the “Final Earnout Statement”), will be final and binding on the Parties. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement regarding the Earnout Statement and any resulting Earnout Amount, then Seller will retain the right to dispute the Earnout Statement and any resulting Earnout Amount in the same manner as set forth in and otherwise in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2.4(c) and Section 2.4(d) as if such provisions were incorporated into and set out in this Section 2.7.

(c)Within 10 Business Days after the determination of the Final Earnout Statement in accordance with Section 2.7(b), Buyer shall pay to Seller the positive amount of the applicable Earnout Amount (if any) set forth in the Final Earnout Statement.

(d)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.7(h), and the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, the management and operations of the Acquired Companies and its business will be at Buyer’s (and its Affiliates, including the Acquired Companies) sole discretion.

(e)Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall have no obligation to operate the Business in a manner solely because it is necessary or intended to achieve the Earnout Amount or to maximize the amount of the Earnout Amount. The Parties understand and acknowledge that, following the Closing, acting commercially reasonably and in good faith, Buyer shall have all necessary authority to alter or change the manner in which the Acquired Companies conduct or operate their business, manage day-to-day operations, approach the market, and incentivize employees or attract and retain customers or suppliers; provided, however, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not take any action with respect to the Acquired Companies or the operation of the Business that is for the purpose of intentionally avoiding or reducing the Earnout Amount.

(f)The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the future performance of Buyer, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates is subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, contingencies, and normal business disruption necessary to integrate each Acquired Company and its business with and into Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective businesses, (ii) actual results of Buyer, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates may vary from anticipated results, and (iii) there is no assurance, agreement or guarantee that the Earnout Amount will be achieved.

(g)Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be treated as part of the Total Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law (it being acknowledged that a portion of the Earnout Amount (if any) may be required to be treated as interest pursuant to Section 483 of the Code and other applicable Tax Law).

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, if, after Closing, Buyer (i) takes any action or causes the Acquired Companies or the Business to be operated in a manner that prevents or materially interferes with the accurate determination, on a standalone basis, of the Acquired Companies’ EBITDA, or (ii) makes or directs any operational change that, by direct or indirect means, is intended to reduce EBITDA or otherwise diminish Seller’s ability to earn the Earnout Amount, thereby rendering accurate calculation of the Earnout Amount under this Section 2.7 impossible or impracticable, then Seller shall be deemed to have earned the full Earnout Amount, and the Final Earnout Statement shall reflect a payment from Buyer to Seller of the maximum Earnout Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties understand and agree that if the Acquired Companies’ EBITDA cannot be determined by Buyer acting reasonably and in good faith, then Seller shall be deemed to have earned the full Earnout Amount.

Section 2.8Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Buyer is required to withhold and deduct with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Laws; provided, that Buyer shall notify Seller prior to deducting and withholding from any consideration otherwise payable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement and shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in seeking to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding. Any such withheld amounts shall be paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority within the time periods required under the applicable Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

No Employee Benefit Plan or any fiduciary thereof has been the subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any Governmental Authority.

(e)Each Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a received a favorable determination letter from the IRS (or is comprised of a master or prototype plan or pre-approved plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS) that it is so qualified, and no event has occurred and no conditions or circumstances exist that would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of any such determination letter or opinion letter or that could adversely affect the qualified status.

(f)Each Employee Benefit Plan (including any related trust) has been adopted, maintained, funded, administered and operated at all times in compliance with its terms and all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code.

The Acquired Companies do not have an obligation or commitment to gross-up, indemnify, reimburse or make an additional payment to any individual by reason of any Tax, including under Sections 4999 or 409A of the Code. The consummation of the Transactions will not result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code.

(h)All required reports and descriptions (including Form 5500 annual reports, Form 1094-C and 1095-C, summaries of benefits and coverage, summary annual reports, and summary plan descriptions) have been timely filed and distributed in all material respects in accordance with the applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan.

(i)No Employee Benefit Plan is: (i) an employee benefit plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; (ii) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA); (iii) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA; (iv) a “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code, or (v) a “funded welfare plan” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code.

Neither of the Acquired Companies nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever been required to contribute to, or had any Liability with respect to, any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA, a “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, or any “funded welfare plan” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code. No Employee Benefit Plan is or at any time was funded through a “welfare benefit fund” as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, and no benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan are or at any time have been provided through a voluntary employees’ beneficiary association (within the meaning of subsection 501(c)(9) of the Code) or a supplemental unemployment benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 501(c)(17) of the Code).

(j)Neither of the Acquired Companies nor any ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains, or has any Liability (fixed, contingent or otherwise) to provide health, dental, disability, life, or other welfare benefits, or similar coverage to any current or former employee, officer, director or individual independent contractor (including any dependent thereof), other than benefits required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or similar state laws for which the covered individual(s) pays the full premiums other than as required by applicable Law.

(k)Full payment has been timely made of all amounts which the Acquired Companies are required, under applicable law or under any Employee Benefit Plan or any agreement relating to any Employee Benefit Plan to which an Acquired Company is a party, to have paid as contributions, distributions, reimbursements, premiums and payments (including all employer contributions, employee salary reduction contributions, and premium payments), and such contributions, distributions, reimbursements, premiums and payments have been timely deposited into the appropriate trusts or accounts or, to the extent not yet due, properly accrued for on the books and records of the Acquired Companies in accordance with GAAP. All such contributions and/or premiums have been fully deducted for income tax purposes and no such deduction has been challenged or disallowed by any Governmental Authority, and no event has occurred, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no condition or circumstance exists that could give rise to any such challenge or disallowance.

(l)The Acquired Companies do not maintain an Employee Benefit Plan that is (i) a “group health plan” (as such term is defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code or Section 607(1) of ERISA) that has not been established, administered and operated in all material respects in compliance with the applicable requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code or (ii) a “group health plan” (as defined in 45 Code of Federal Regulations Section 160.103) that has not been established, administered and operated in all material respects in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Acquired Companies are not subject to any Liability, including additional contributions, fines, Taxes, penalties or loss of Tax deduction, as a result of such administration and operation. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 125 of the Code meets such requirements. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is a “group health plan” as defined in Section 733(a)(1) (each, a “Company Health Plan”) is, to the extent applicable, currently, and at all relevant times has complied, and is in compliance, with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub.

L. No. 111-148, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-152 and all regulatory and other guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Affordable Care Act”).

(m)Except as set forth on Section 5.22(m) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the approval or the consummation of the Transactions (either alone or in connection with any other event), could (i) result in any payment becoming due to any current or former employee, manager, director, independent contractor or consultant of the Acquired Companies, including any bonus, retention, severance or change of control payment, (ii) materially increase any payments or benefits payable under any Employee Benefit Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any payments or benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan, (iv) limit or restrict the ability to merge, amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan, in each case, as a result of the execution of this Agreement or (v) result in the imposition of a Tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code on any Person or result in the payment of any amount or benefit (whether in cash, property, the vesting of property or otherwise) that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code. The Acquired Companies have no Liability for a “gross-up,” reimbursement, or other payment to any Person with respect to any Taxes, including to any “disqualified individual” within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code or with respect to any Taxes imposed by Section 409A of the Code.

(n)No Employee Benefit Plan is subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States or covers any current or former employee, manager, director, independent contractor or consultant of the Acquired Companies (or any spouse or dependent of any such individual) residing or working outside the United States.

(o)For the purposes of this Section 5.22, the Acquired Companies shall include all trades or businesses under common control with either Acquired Company within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code.

Section 5.23Affiliate Transactions. Except for (a) advances to employees of either Acquired Company for expenses incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business in the three year period prior to the Closing Date, (b) any benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan, and (c) those Contracts disclosed on Section 5.23 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, neither Seller nor any shareholder, member, manager, officer, director or Affiliate of Seller or the Acquired Companies: (i) is a party to or has any beneficial interest in, directly or indirectly, any Contract, commitment or transaction with either Acquired Company or their Affiliates; (ii) has any interest (other than ownership of five percent or less of any class of securities of a company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act) in any Person which is a client, supplier, customer, lessor, lessee or competitor of the Acquired Companies; (iii) has any interest in any property, tangible or intangible, used in the operation of the Business as currently operated; or (iv) provides, causes to be provided or has provided within the last 12 months any assets, services or facilities to or from (as the case may be) the Acquired Companies or Seller (each such transaction, an “Affiliate Transaction”). Except as set forth on Section 5.23 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, each Affiliate Transaction is on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the applicable Acquired Company (or its Affiliate, as applicable) than those that would have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction by such Acquired Company (or its Affiliate, as applicable) with a bona fide third party.

Section 5.24Warranty.

(a)The Acquired Companies have not provided any express warranties (oral or written) with respect to any products currently or formerly sold, distributed, provided, shipped or licensed, or any services rendered or provided, by the Acquired Companies, beyond those set forth in the standard conditions of sale or service, except to the extent such warranty has or will have expired prior to Closing. The Acquired Companies do not manufacture any products.

(b)The products licensed, sold, leased and delivered and the services provided by the Acquired Companies conform in all material respects with any Contract commitment or other arrangement and all express and implied warranties related thereto. The Acquired Companies do not have any Liability for replacement or repair thereof (including services) or other damages in connection therewith, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $150,000 of the amount (if any) reserved against and reflected on the Most Recent Balance Sheet.

(c)To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no material defects in the design or manufacture of the Acquired Companies’ products or the provision of services that likely will give rise to warranty claims under the warranties given by Acquired Companies to customers or to claims of defect in the design or manufacture of the Acquired Companies’ products. The Acquired Companies have not received any notice of a claim against either Acquired Company alleging a material design or manufacturing defect in any of its products or services provided, excluding any and all requests for product returns in the Ordinary Course of Business consistent with past experience of the Acquired Companies. The Acquired Companies have not recalled, withdrawn or suspended any of their products.

Section 5.25Inventory. Except as set forth on Section 5.25 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, all items of inventory of the Acquired Companies (including raw materials, supplies, work-in-process, finished goods and other materials), whether or not shown on the Most Recent Balance Sheet, (a) are in good, merchantable and useable condition, and (b) are, in the case of finished goods, of a quality and quantity saleable in the Ordinary Course of Business and, in the case of all other inventory, are of a quality and quantity useable in the Ordinary Course of Business. All such inventory is owned by the Acquired Companies free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and no inventory is held on a consignment basis. The inventory obsolescence policies of the Acquired Companies are appropriate for the nature of the products sold and the marketing methods used by the Acquired Companies, and the reserve for inventory obsolescence contained in the Most Recent Balance Sheet fairly reflects in all material respects the amount of obsolete inventory as of the Most Recent Fiscal Month End.

Section 5.26Privacy and Security. The Acquired Companies maintain policies, procedures and rules regarding data privacy, protection and security that are in material compliance with all Data Security Requirements. The Acquired Companies and the conduct of the Business by the Acquired Companies are in compliance with, and at all times during the prior three years, have been in material compliance with, all Data Security Requirements.

CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1Restrictive Covenants. As partial consideration for payment of the Total Consideration and as an inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller agrees to the following covenants:

(a)Noncompetition.

(i)During the Noncompete Period, Seller agrees that Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, in any manner, directly or indirectly or by assisting or encouraging others, (A) compete with, or otherwise engage or assist in, or prepare to compete with or engage or assist in, or make new investment in, any Competing Business, or (B) own, operate, lease, manage, engage in, have an equity or profit interest in, invest in, lend to, own any debt or equity security or interest of, permit its name to be used by, alone or as a partner, joint venturer, independent contractor or other Representative of, or lender to, render services to (including of an executive, marketing, manufacturing, operational, research and development, administrative, financial or other consulting nature) any Person or business that is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any Competing Business.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing restrictions, Seller hereby further agrees that, during the Noncompete Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, joint venturer, independent contractor or other Representative of, or lender to, any Person or business, (A) create or maintain any business relationship with any customer or supplier of the Acquired Companies, or otherwise solicit any Person who, as of the Closing Date, is a customer or supplier of the Acquired Companies for the benefit or in furtherance of any Competing Business, (B) request, advise or induce any customer or supplier of the Acquired Companies to withdraw, curtail or cancel, or engage in any other activity that could interfere with or adversely affect, the relationship such Person has with the Acquired Companies, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, or (C) take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging or interfering with any Person who, as of the Closing Date, is a lessor, licensor, customer, supplier or other business associate of the Acquired Companies from maintaining business relationships that are at least as favorable with the Acquired Companies, Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates, as applicable, after the Closing as it maintained with such Person prior to the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) the passive ownership of three percent or less of any class of securities of a Person whose securities are listed on a recognized securities exchange that engages in a Competing Business and (z) continued ownership of any Person that engages in a Competing Business that is owned by any upstream Affiliate of Seller on the Closing Date, shall not be a violation of this Section 6.1.

(b)Non-solicitation. During the Noncompete Period, Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, in any manner, directly or indirectly or by assisting others, solicit, recruit or hire away or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire away, on their behalf or on behalf of any other Person, any employee or independent contractor of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date or any individual that was an employee or independent contractor of the Acquired Companies within the two-year period prior to the Closing Date; provided, that (i) such solicitation (as opposed to hire) restrictions shall not prohibit any solicitation by way of general advertising, including general solicitations in newspapers or other publications or on internet sites that are not directed toward or focused on employees or independent contractors (or such former employees or independent contractors) of the Acquired Companies or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) such solicitation restrictions shall not prohibit any solicitation of any former employee of the Acquired Companies who has not been in service to the Acquired Companies for a period of at least one year prior to the date of such solicitation.

(c)Severability; Blue Penciling. If a judicial or arbitral determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 6.1 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Seller, the provisions of this Section 6.1 shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial or arbitral determination finds such provisions to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable with respect to it.

In this regard, the Parties hereby agree that any judicial authority or arbitral authority construing this Agreement shall be empowered to sever any portion of the Territory, any prohibited business activity or any time period from the coverage of this Section 6.1 and to apply the provisions of this Section 6.1 to the remaining portion of the Territory, the remaining business activities and the remaining time period not so severed by such judicial or arbitral authority. The time period during which the prohibitions set forth in this Section 6.1 shall apply shall be tolled and extended for a period equal to the aggregate time during which Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives violate such prohibitions in any respect. If any court determines that any provision of this Section 6.1 is unenforceable as to Seller because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, as to Seller and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable. The covenants contained in this Section 6.1 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d)Reasonable Restraint. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it will receive significant consideration and benefits in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and that the consideration and benefits received by Seller pursuant to this Agreement constitutes good, valuable, adequate and sufficient consideration for the covenants of Seller under this Section 6.1. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Acquired Companies conduct the Business throughout the Territory and have no active plans to (A) conduct the Business outside of the Territory or (B) undertake activities or provide services other than the Business other than as currently conducted, (ii) as a result of Seller’s ownership, affiliation with and involvement in the operation of the Acquired Companies, Seller is familiar with the Confidential Information and has significantly and uniquely contributed to the development and maintenance of the goodwill of the Acquired Companies throughout the Territory, and (iii) Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement but for Seller’s agreement to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1, and Seller is agreeing to and making the covenants contained in this Section 6.1 to, among other things, induce Buyer to engage in and consummate the Transactions. It is agreed by the Parties that the foregoing covenants in this Section 6.1 are necessary in terms of time, activity, scope and Territory to protect the interests of Buyer and its Affiliates in the assets of the Acquired Companies and the Business, including the Confidential Information, being acquired pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and impose a reasonable restraint on Seller in light of the Business on the Closing Date and the current plans of the Acquired Companies and the benefits being received by Seller, and if violated, would cause Buyer and its Affiliates irreparable harm that could not be adequately or solely measured or compensated by the rules of applicable Law and legal remedies, including monetary relief. Accordingly, Seller acknowledges and agrees that, if Seller or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.1, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to obtain equitable relief as set forth in Section 9.4.

Section 6.2Confidentiality. Seller hereby agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, hold in confidence all Confidential Information and to (a) not disclose, publish or make use of (or cause or permit the publication, disclosure or use of) any Confidential Information, and (b) not sell or use any Confidential Information for such Person’s own direct or indirect benefit or the benefit of any other Person. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other applicable Laws, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing prior to making any such disclosures, if possible, and shall disclose only that portion of such Confidential Information which Seller is advised by its legal counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided, that Seller shall, if instructed by Buyer, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate protective Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer, as of Closing, becomes the exclusive owner of the Confidential Information and that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives has any right, title or interest therein. The foregoing shall not limit any protections or benefits available to Buyer with respect to trade secrets under applicable Law.

Section 6.3Further Assurances. Seller and Buyer agree that, from time to time after the Closing Date, each of them will, and will cause their employees and Affiliates to, execute and deliver such further instruments and cooperate to promptly take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the other party to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement and the Transactions. In the event that, following the Closing Date, Seller or any of its Affiliates becomes aware that an asset primarily used in the Business is owned or held by Seller or any of its Affiliates and was not transferred to the Acquired Companies in the Pre-Closing Restructuring, Seller or such Affiliate shall promptly notify Buyer and transfer such asset to the appropriate Acquired Company as if it were a part of the Pre-Closing Restructuring.

Section 6.4Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification. From and after the Closing, Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from Liability for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing by the Acquired Companies now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Closing Date, an officer, manager, director or board observer of the Acquired Companies (each a “D&O Indemnified Party”), as provided in the Acquired Companies’ Organizational Documents, shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect in all material respects in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six years after the Closing Date, and, in the event that any Action is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the final disposition of such Action. Each D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.4 applies shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.4, and such Person may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.4.

Section 6.5Public Announcements. The Parties shall agree on the initial press release announcing the Transactions. All subsequent disclosures relating to the Transactions, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that no Party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 6.5 to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 6.5. The restriction in this Section 6.5 shall not apply to public announcements required by applicable securities Law, any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule.

Section 6.6Post-Closing Access to Information.

(a)Following the Closing, each Party hereto shall retain its books and records with respect to periods prior to the Closing for a period of at least seven years, unless a longer period is required by the R&W Policy, applicable Law or Order.

(b)Effective as of the Closing Date, each Releasing Party, jointly and severally, for itself and each of the other Releasing Parties, irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, distributing or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against any Released Party, based on any Released Claim.

(b)Expenses of Registration. Buyer shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Registration (and the related prospectus supplement) incurred by Buyer in the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.11, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to a Registration Statement, and including all Registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, and the fees and expenses of Buyer’s counsel and accountants.

(c)Following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than 60 days following the Closing Date, the financial statements that Buyer is required to (i) file pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act (including for purpose of Form 8-K), and (ii) include in any Registration Statement, and obtain the consents of its auditor(s) with respect thereto as may be required by applicable SEC rules and regulations, including as conditions precedent to any related filings (in each case, “SEC Financial Statements”). Buyer shall have no obligation to effect the Registration or file a Registration Statement if such financial statements are not timely provided and otherwise conform with applicable SEC rules and regulations. All costs and expenses associated with this Section, including any fees and expenses of independent auditors and accounting advisors necessary to satisfy the applicable requirements of the SEC, shall be paid by Seller.

(d)Obligations of Buyer. In the case of Registration and the filing of a prospectus supplement regarding the Registrable Securities effected by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer will, upon request of Seller, inform Seller as to the status of such Registration. Buyer shall, at its expense and without independent request from Seller:

(i)use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration, continuously effective with respect to Seller, until the earlier of (the “Registration Period”): (A) the date on which all of the Stock Consideration Registered by such Registration Statement has been sold or transferred, or (B) the date such Stock Consideration ceased to be Registrable Securities, or (C) three years from the Closing Date;

(ii)advise Seller as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstance at the time:

(A)when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(B)of the receipt by Buyer of any notification from the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(C)of the receipt by Buyer of any notification with respect to the suspension by any Governmental Authority of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(iii)use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order of a Governmental Authority suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; (iv)promptly furnish to Seller, without charge, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if explicitly requested by Seller, all exhibits in the form filed with the SEC;

(vi)cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on the Stock Exchange and file such supplemental listing applications and notices regarding the Registrable Securities as are required by the Stock Exchange;

(vii)promptly request from Seller any information Buyer determines is required with respect to Seller for inclusion in the Registration Statement and has not previously requested or provided by Seller, with all such information requested no later than five Business Days prior to delivery of such Registration Statement to counsel for Seller pursuant to Section 6.11(d)(viii); and

(viii)permit one counsel for Seller to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, within five Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the SEC; provided, that Buyer will not be required to delay the filing of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto to incorporate any comments to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto by or on behalf any Person if such comments may require a delay in the filing of such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement.

(e)Certain Seller Obligations.

(i)It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Buyer to take any action pursuant to this Section 6.11 that Seller and its Affiliates and securityholders shall, within a reasonable time after request by Buyer, furnish to Buyer such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by such Person and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be legally required under the Securities Act or any other Laws or otherwise required by the SEC to effect the Registration and resale of the Registrable Securities. Seller, its Affiliates and securityholders supplying such information shall ensure that such information is complete, accurate, and not misleading through misstatement or omission. Subject to Buyer’s obligations in Section 6.11(d)(vii) and (viii), if such information is not provided by the filing date, Buyer shall have no obligation to include such Person’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement or prospectus supplement.

(ii)Upon the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, Seller shall, upon notice provided by the Buyer, immediately discontinue any sales or transfers of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement pertaining to such Registrable Securities until Seller is advised by Buyer that use of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement pertaining to the Registrable Securities, as may have been subsequently amended, supplemented or otherwise updated, may be resumed and Seller shall use such amended, supplemented or updated prospectus in connection with such future sales or transfers.

(f)Legend Removal. On the date that the Ranger Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without regard to volume or manner of sale limitations, current public information requirements or notice of sale requirements, Buyer shall cause all restrictive legends to be removed from the Ranger Shares and shall cause its transfer agent to deliver such unrestricted Ranger Shares via digital or electronic transfer to an account designated by Seller at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, subject to delivery prior to such date by Seller of customary representation letters, legal opinions, and any other documentation required by, and reasonably satisfactory to, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Buyer’s transfer agent as of such date.

Section 6.12401(k) Matters.

(a)Plan Amendment and Participating Employer Removal.  Prior to Closing, AWS, as sponsor of the 401(k) plan maintained for the benefit of employees of AWS, Tex Mex Holdings, LLC and American Energy Management (the “AWS 401(k) Plan”), caused the AWS 401(k) Plan to be amended to remove Tex Mex Holdings, LLC and American Energy Management, LLC (the “Removed Employers”) as contributing participating employers under the AWS 401(k) Plan, effective as of the Closing Date. The Removed Employers will engage a new 401(k) plan service provider (“Substitute 401(k) Plan”) to continue their portion of the AWS 401(k) Plan and will commence contributions to such Substitute 401(k) Plan as soon as administratively feasible following the Closing Date.

(b)Asset Transfer. As soon as administratively feasible following the amendment described in Section 6.12(a), Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests to cause the participant account balances and related assets and liabilities attributable to current and former employees of the Removed Employers under the AWS 401(k) Plan to be transferred to the Substitute 401(k) Plan in accordance with applicable Law, including Section 414(l) of the Code.

(c)Participant Communications. Buyer and Seller shall coordinate with respect to any communications to affected participants regarding the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.12, and Seller shall provide or cause to be provided any notices required under applicable Law in connection with such transactions.

(d)Expenses. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.12.

Section 6.13Title Policy. With respect to the Owned Real Property located at 1845 W FM 2105, San Agnelo, Texas 76901 (the “Property”), post-Closing Seller covenants and agrees that:

(a)Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date, at its sole cost and expense, Seller shall obtain and deliver to Buyer a current, effective commitment for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by a title company reasonably agreed upon by Buyer and Seller (the “Title Company”), in the amount of $591,601, and accompanied by true, complete, and legible copies of all documents referred to in the Title Commitment.

(b)Buyer shall notify Seller in writing (the “Title Notice”) within five (5) business days after receipt by Buyer of the Title Commitment (the “Title Review Period”), including all documents referred to in the Title Commitment, which exceptions to title, if any, will not be accepted by Buyer.

If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions to title prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title to the Property as then reflected in the Title Commitment, excluding (i) all liens of an ascertainable amount and (ii) any mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens filed against the Property, unless the same arise by, through or under Buyer, its employees, agents or contractors (the “Monetary Liens”), which Seller shall be obligated to cure or remove prior to the Issuance Date as set forth herein. Seller shall work in good faith with Buyer to cure the objections to title set forth in the Title Notice Issuance Date (as defined below). If after good faith efforts, Seller is unable to cure any of the objections specified in the Title Notice prior to the Issuance Date, Seller shall have no obligation to cure such title objections except Monetary Liens; provided, that Seller shall continue to work with Buyer to cure any such items after the Issuance Date if Seller is unable to cure or remove such items prior to the Issuance Date. Seller also agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, under or through Seller after the date of this Agreement and which are not permitted by the terms of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean:

(i)those matters that either are not objected to in writing within the time period provided in Section (b) hereof, or if objected to in writing by Buyer, are those which Seller has worked in good faith to remove or cure but has been unable to remove or cure, excluding all Monetary Liens, and subject to which Buyer has elected or is deemed to have elected to accept the conveyance of the Property;

(ii)the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Issuance Date;

(iii)local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property; and

(iv)the standard pre-printed exceptions to title customarily excepted by title companies in similar transactions.

(c)On or before the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date (the “Issuance Date”), Seller shall cause a Texas standard Owner Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”) to be issued by the Title Company, dated, at Buyer’s election, as of either (i) the Closing Date, or (ii) the date that the Title Policy is issued, in the amount of $591,601, insuring good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of all liens, claims, easements and encumbrances whatsoever, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall execute, on or before the Issuance Date, an owner’s affidavit and gap indemnity satisfactory to Buyer and to the Title Company in order for the Title Company to delete its standard printed exception as to parties in possession, unrecorded liens, and similar matters. The Title Policy must contain any endorsements that the Title Company has agreed to issue if the requirements for issuance are satisfied, including, without limitation and at Buyer’s election, a non-imputation endorsement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Seller is working diligently with the Title Company on the issuance of the Title Policy, Seller shall not be in breach of this Section 6.13(c) with respect to the Issuance Date.

(d)The base premium and the premium for extended coverage and any endorsements for the Title Policy shall be paid by Seller.

(e)If the Title Policy reflects an impairment in title to the Property that cannot be cured despite Seller’s good faith efforts and that adversely affects in any material manner the value of the Property or the use of the Property as it is currently used by the Acquired Companies, the Parties will agree on a reasonable reduction in value of the Property and Seller will remit such amount in cash to Buyer within five (5) Business Days after such amount is agreed by the Parties.

Article VII
TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1Tax Returns.

(a)Seller shall cause the Acquired Companies to timely prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Companies that are due prior to the Closing Date and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns (“Seller-Prepared Tax Returns”).

(b)Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to timely prepare or cause to be prepared, all other Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies that relate in whole or in part to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and that are not described in Section 7.1(a), including all Tax Returns for all Straddle Periods. The Parties agree that all deductions arising from Transaction Expenses shall be allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the maximum extent permitted by Law. Without limiting Section 7.2, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and provide reasonable assistance and information as is reasonably requested by Buyer in order to enable Buyer to prepare and file all Tax Returns described in the first sentence of this Section 7.1(b). Buyer shall provide a copy of each such Tax Return to Seller for review and comment at least 15 Business Days prior to the due date thereof and, to the extent that Seller could reasonably be expected to be liable for any Tax on such Tax Returns under this Agreement, Buyer shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Seller, subject to Buyer’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Taxes reflected as due on any such Tax Return that are attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (but only to the extent that such amount is in excess of the Acquired Companies’ aggregate reserves for such Taxes and was not otherwise taken into account in determining any amounts paid hereunder, including as Accrued Income Taxes) no later than three Business Days before the due date of such Tax Return, based on the methodology set forth in Section 7.2.

Section 7.2Straddle Periods. All Taxes imposed on the Acquired Companies with respect to the income, property or operations of the Acquired Companies for any Straddle Period, shall be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning as of the day after the Closing Date as follows: (i) Taxes, other than those referred to in clause (ii) below, for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned by means of a closing of the books of the Acquired Companies as of the end of the Closing Date and (ii) property Taxes and ad valorem Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the portion of such Straddle Period ending as of the end of the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning as of the beginning of the day after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such portion of the Straddle Period. Buyer and Seller shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Taxing Authority to treat for all applicable Tax purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Acquired Companies.

Section 7.3Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Buyer, and if any Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of one Party are paid by the other Party, the Party responsible for such Transfer Taxes shall make prompt reimbursement. Buyer shall timely file any Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes as required by Law and shall notify Seller when such filings have been made. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and consult with each other prior to filing any Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes to ensure that all such Tax Returns are filed in a consistent manner.

Section 7.4Controversies. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within 10 days of the receipt by such Party (or any of its Affiliates), as applicable, of a notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes of or with respect to the Acquired Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and for which some or all of such Taxes Seller (or any of its Affiliates) may be liable directly on a pass-through basis as a matter of Law (a “Tax Proceeding”). Seller shall be entitled to control and defend any Tax Proceeding; provided, that Seller shall (i) permit Buyer to participate (at its own expense) in such Tax Proceeding, (ii) keep Buyer reasonably informed of the major developments and status of such Tax Proceeding, and (iii) not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without Buyer’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 7.5Amended Tax Returns and Retroactive Elections. Unless otherwise required by Law (as mutually determined by Buyer and Seller, acting in good faith), Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Acquired Companies to, (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to any tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period, (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such year or to any Straddle Period, or (iii) voluntarily approach any Tax authority to initiate a voluntary disclosure (or similar) proceeding with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each such case to the extent doing so could result in any adverse tax consequences to Seller (including consequences pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.

Section 7.6General Cooperation. Without limiting any other provision of this Article VII, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Action with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Companies, including any Tax Proceedings. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Seller agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of 60 days after the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, to the extent such retention agreements are made known to the applicable Party in writing.

Section 7.7Tax-Sharing Agreements. All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Acquired Companies shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to receipt of those Tax refunds set forth on Section 7.7 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules, and to the extent that an Acquired Company receives such Tax refunds instead of Seller (in accordance with the letter agreement attached to Section 7.7 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules), Buyer shall promptly remit such Tax refunds to Seller upon receipt thereof.

Article VIII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1Survival. The Parties, intending to modify any applicable statute of limitations, agree that, from and after the Closing:

(a)No representations or warranties contained in this Agreement will survive beyond the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, no claim for breach of any such representation or warranty (whether in Contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing with respect thereto, and there will be no Liability in respect thereof. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein.

Buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that from and after Closing, except in the event of Fraud, the sole and exclusive source of recovery and remedy for any Loss sustained, suffered or incurred by Buyer or any of its respective Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) resulting from any breach, misstatement, misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission by Seller of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement shall be recovery against the R&W Policy in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall limit: (i) the obligations of any Person pursuant to Section 6.1 (Restrictive Covenants), Section 6.2 (Confidentiality), any other covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking in this Agreement or the Restrictive Covenant Agreements to which such Person is a party, or any rights or remedies of any other Person that is a party thereto; (ii) a Party’s right to bring a claim or recover Losses for Fraud; or (iii) the amounts recoverable by Buyer or any other insured Person under the R&W Policy.

(b)The following provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing: Article II (Purchase and Sale; Consideration); Article III (Closing); Article VI (Certain Covenants and Agreements); Article VII (Tax Matters); this Article VIII (Survival; Indemnification); and Article IX (Miscellaneous). If a specific time period is specified in any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, then such covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking shall survive in accordance with its terms, and if no such term exists, such covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking shall survive for three years following the Closing Date. For convenience of reference, the date upon which any covenant contained herein shall terminate is referred to herein as the “Covenant Termination Date.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any applicable statute of limitations, (i) except in the case of Fraud, in no event shall any Party bring any Action relating to the breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking following the termination of the applicable Covenant Termination Date; (ii) nothing in this Agreement will limit or modify the survival periods for the covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings of the Parties set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement; and (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or otherwise affect any claim or recovery available to any Indemnified Party or any other insured Person under the R&W Policy.

Section 8.2Indemnification Obligations of Seller.

(a)Subject to the other terms of this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates and each of the heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of, relating to or in connection with:

(i)any breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking made by Seller in this Agreement, expressly including Section 6.1 (Restrictive Covenants) and Section 6.2 (Confidentiality); and

(ii)directly or indirectly, the Pre-Closing Restructuring.

Section 8.3Indemnification Obligations of Buyer. Subject to the other terms of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of the heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking made by Buyer in this Agreement, including Section 6.11 (Registration of Securities).

Section 8.4Liability Limits. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except in the case of Fraud, the aggregate indemnification obligations of: (i) Seller and its Affiliates with respect to Section 8.2 shall not exceed the Total Consideration; and (ii) Buyer and its Affiliates with respect to Section 8.3 shall not exceed the aggregate value of the Stock Consideration as of the Closing Date.

Section 8.5Exclusive Remedies. Except with respect to an action based upon Fraud or with respect to which equitable relief is sought under Section 9.4 (Specific Performance), the Parties acknowledge and agree that following Closing their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, but subject to the exceptions referred to above in this Section 8.5, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.5 shall limit any Person’s right to (i) seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.4 (Specific Performance) or (ii) any amounts recoverable by such Person under the R&W Policy.

Section 8.6Third Party Claims.

(a)If any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any such third party of any Action (any such Action being referred to herein as an “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which another party hereof (an “Indemnifying Party”) is or may be obligated to provide indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (the “Claim Notice”) of the Third Party Claim; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the defense of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b)The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice (unless such Action requires a response before the expiration of such 30 day period) to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its sole expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense, including all conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnifying Party); and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not pay, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the proposed payment, compromise or settlement (A) involves solely the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party, (B) includes an unconditional and irrevocable release by the Person(s) asserting such claim of the Indemnified Party from any Liabilities with respect to such claim, (C) does not impose any restriction on the Indemnified Party or any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (D) does not include or require a finding or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and (E) does not materially damage, limit or hinder future operations of the Business. So long as the Indemnifying Party continues to diligently defend the Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, compromise or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently defend the Third Party Claim in good faith, then after receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party regarding such failure and the Indemnifying Party’s subsequent failure to cure such failure within 10 Days after receiving such notice, the Indemnified Party shall have right to assume defense of such Third Party Claim at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel of its own choosing.

(c)If the Indemnifying Party does not within 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice (or earlier, if such Action requires a response before the expiration of such 30 day period) provide to the Indemnified Party written notice that the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim described in such Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.7Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Party reasonably believes, acting reasonably and in good faith, that it has a claim for which indemnification may be sought under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, other than with respect to a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Direct Claim for which indemnification will or may be sought under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 (a “Notice of Direct Claim”). The Notice of Direct Claim shall specify facts reasonably known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnity rights and shall indicate, to the extent reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be incurred by the Indemnified Party and, if then available, related documentation supporting such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days following its receipt of a Notice of Direct Claim to review the Notice of Direct Claim and to notify the Indemnified Party that it either (a) agrees the Direct Claim is a claim for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party as a Direct Claim under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be conclusively deemed entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to the matters described in such Notice of Direct Claim, subject to the limitations provided in this Article VIII (an “Accepted Direct Claim Notice”), or (b) disputes, acting reasonably and in good faith, the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder (a “Disputed Direct Claim Notice”). During the 30-day period, the Indemnified Party during regular business hours 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 reasonably assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by providing such assistance and giving such information readily available to it as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party (x) provides the Indemnified Party a Disputed Direct Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue all remedies against the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or applicable Law or (y) does not provide the Indemnified Party a Disputed Direct Claim Notice or provides an Accepted Direct Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to agree that the Direct Claim is indemnifiable under this Agreement and defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement for the Losses thereunder, subject to the limitations under this Article VIII, and the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds within 10 days any amounts due as a result thereof (and otherwise satisfy any obligations thereunder within such period) and otherwise comply with its obligations to the Indemnified Party hereunder (including any under an Order). To the extent any dispute relating thereto between the Parties exists and is resolved by a settlement agreement, any amounts payable thereunder shall also be paid accordingly or obligations thereunder otherwise satisfied within 10 days from the date of the settlement agreement.

Section 8.8Indemnification Notices, Claims and Payments. Any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification may be asserted by giving an Indemnified Party written notice thereof, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the indemnification claim. Any indemnification payments required to be made by a Party to this Agreement under this Article VIII shall be made promptly (but in no event later than 10 days after the determination thereof) via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank and accounts as are designated by an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.1, (a) nothing contained in this Section 8.8 or otherwise in this Article VIII shall in any way limit or otherwise affect any claim or recovery available to any Indemnified Party or other insured under any R&W Policy; (b) any indemnity claim validly asserted pursuant to Section 8.6 (Third Party Claims) or Section 8.7 (Direct Claims) prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall survive until finally resolved; and (c) unless prohibited by applicable Law, a claim shall not accrue until the breach or other wrongful act has been discovered.

Section 8.9Offset. Buyer shall have the right to deduct and offset against any amount otherwise due to be paid to Seller pursuant to this Agreement (including the Earnout Amount) or any Ancillary Agreement any amounts due or payable to Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party (including and any Losses arising out of, relating to or in connection with any breach or violation of any agreement, covenant or undertaking set forth in this Agreement, solely to the extent such agreement, covenant or undertaking survives the Closing in accordance with Section 8.1) by Seller or its Affiliates.

Section 8.10Determination of Amount of Losses. For purposes of determining the amount of Losses subject to an indemnification claim made pursuant to this Agreement, the amount of such Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or proceeds from other collateral sources, in each case, actually received pursuant to any insurance policy or other collateral sources by the applicable Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses (net of any deductible or other costs or expenses of recovery, including any increases in premiums or retro-premiums).

Section 8.11Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 as an adjustment to the Total Consideration for all Tax purposes and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties agree not to take any position inconsistent therewith for any purpose.

HOUSTON, TX — (November 10, 2025) — Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: RNGR) (“Ranger” or the “Company”) today announced it has acquired American Well Services (“AWS”), a Permian Basin-focused well services provider, from Argonaut Private Equity (“Argonaut”).

•Expands scale with rig count increasing approximately 25% galvanizing Ranger as the largest well-servicing provider in the Lower 48

•Represents a compelling valuation with total consideration of approximately $90.5 million, representing less than 2.5 times trailing EBITDA

•Generates accretion to earnings and cash flow immediately with expected synergies of $4 million identified

•Expects future pro forma EBITDA to exceed $100 million with higher earnings potential as commodity prices recover

•Enables strong pull-through revenue opportunities to Ranger’s high specification rig segment with the addition of new complementary service lines

Stuart Bodden, CEO of Ranger Energy Services
“Today marks another foundational step in Ranger’s growth journey. With the acquisition of AWS, Ranger is the largest well-services provider in the United States and uniquely positioned to capitalize on a market recovery while expanding reach to customers with our new technology. The reputation of the assets and strength of AWS’s customer franchise accelerates our strategic roadmap, deepens our relationships with the major operators, and expands our future opportunity set. The fleet of workover rigs at AWS has been well maintained and includes a breadth of complementary equipment. Additionally, with the AWS acquisition, Ranger will be adding service lines that have high pull through opportunities that the AWS team has benefited from in the past few years. We are excited about welcoming a new and talented group of people into the Ranger family and about the innovation and growth we will unlock together. This acquisition further powers our ECHO program and helps deliver step changes in efficiency and safety.”

Mr. Bodden continued, “Outside of the strategic merits of this transaction, the consideration represents an attractive multiple with expected accretion on EBITDA, EPS and cash flow metrics in the near-term and illustrates a great use of Ranger’s capital and financial flexibility while minimizing dilution. The structure is a sensible mix of cash, stock, and a performance-based earn-out to ensure alignment through integration, all of which underpins our disciplined approach to inorganic growth. The pro forma business should have the capability to quickly repay acquisition‑related borrowings under our current revolver while also maintaining Ranger’s current capital returns program.

We have long held that the cash flows Ranger produces allow us the capacity to pursue both growth and return capital to shareholders, and our continued commitments to capital allocation along with this transaction are evidence of that in action. We will continue to maintain the conservative posture our investors have come to expect and sustain our industry-leading capital return program while adding value accretive transactions to the portfolio.”

Steve Mitchell, CEO & Managing Director of Argonaut Private Equity
“Argonaut has made a series of investments over the past 7 years to create a best in class well services company and is proud to see the culmination of those efforts. The American Well Services team has built a strong platform with a good reputation that has benefited from recent operator consolidations. Making the choice to now combine with Ranger will enable the AWS assets and employees to take advantage of the growth opportunities that come from a multi-basin player with new and differentiated technology at an inflection point in the cycle. I look forward to seeing what the pro forma company will achieve together and appreciate the efforts of all the members of the AWS team that made today’s transaction possible.”

The total consideration payable in the acquisition is approximately $90.5 million, structured as $60 million in cash, 2 million shares of Ranger common stock priced at $12.51 determined in early deal discussions, and a $5 million earn-out contingent on AWS achieving $36 million in EBITDA in the 12 months following closing. The transaction is structured as a cash free, debt free purchase with the cash portion funded with cash on the balance sheet and borrowings on the revolving credit facility. Post-close, leverage is expected to be approximately $50 million, inclusive of Ranger’s existing financing leases, putting Ranger’s leverage ratio at approximately 0.4x and lower than many peers.

On a pro forma basis, Ranger’s go forward EBITDA is expected to exceed $100 million, with earnings potential growing significantly higher under the right macroeconomic conditions. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and free cash flow with expected annual synergies of $4 million to be fully realized before the end of 2026.

This valuation reinforces both Ranger’s disciplined approach to acquiring companies and AWS’s view of the value creation opportunity created through combining the two companies.

This acquisition strengthens Ranger’s position as a leader of well servicing solutions and aligns with the pillars of the company’s strategic roadmap:

Market Leadership: Ranger becomes the largest well servicing provider in the Lower 48, with unmatched scale in the Permian Basin. The pro forma company will strengthen its competitive position by deepening and solidifying ties with major operators. The acquisition also significantly expands Ranger’s rig count at paybacks relatively similar to reactivation.

Growth Platform: AWS introduces higher margin service lines, such as tubing rentals and inspection, chemical sales, and mixing plants that complement Ranger’s high-spec rig fleet and enable strong pull-through revenue opportunities.

Technology Enablement: The expanded Ranger platform and future cash flow will enhance Ranger’s ability to invest in innovation, including the ECHO hybrid electric rig program and the Overwatch AI diagnostics platform, driving efficiency, safety, and emissions reduction.

Compelling Valuation: Transaction consideration of approximately $90.5 million represents less than 2.5 times trailing EBITDA with a portion of consideration subject to a $5 million earn-out linked to achieving first-year EBITDA performance of $36 million for the acquired business.

Expanded Financial Prowess: With pro forma annual EBITDA expected to exceed $100 million in 2026 with greater potential in stronger market conditions, Ranger will be able to expand cash flow generation capabilities meaningfully.

Reinforced Commitment: Post-transaction, Ranger is expected to have sufficient capacity to continue pursuing opportunities to repurchase shares at compelling valuations maintaining a capital allocation strategy of aggressively repurchasing shares when buying opportunities present themselves leading to strong shareholder returns.

Capital Discipline: Ranger expects to have the capacity to repay acquisition-related borrowings within one year, supported by strong free cash flows post-close. Financial flexibility and the prudent use of capital enabled this transaction and Ranger will continue to place priority on ensuring a best-in-class OFS balance sheet.

Ranger was advised on the transaction by Piper Sandler, with King & Spalding LLP serving as legal counsel to Ranger. Sofos Law was legal counsel to AWS and Argonaut Private Equity.

Factors that could cause or contribute to changes in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the Company’s ability to integrate AWS with its existing operations and to realize the anticipated cost savings and other efficiencies and benefits; risks related to disruption of management’s attention from the ongoing business operations of the Company due to the transaction; loss of key employees or customers following the acquisition; and estimated synergies between AWS and the Company as well as estimated purchase price accounting impacts, being estimated and materially different from actual results. Accordingly, the Company cautions that the forward-looking statements contained herein are qualified by these and other important factors and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those reflected by such statements.

We refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including pro forma EBITDA. The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, uncertainties regarding the ability to successfully achieve synergies between AWS and Ranger and the timing of such synergies. Furthermore, in the course of preparing financial information for AWS, as required by Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X in connection with the closing of the transaction, further adjustments to the information presented herein may be made and any such adjustments could be material.
