Buyer and its Affiliates acknowledge that none of them may sell or otherwise dispose of the Subject Interests except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other applicable securities Laws. Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
Section 4.8 Information.
(c) Seller and the Company Entities have provided Buyer with such access to the facilities, books, records and personnel of the Company Entities as Buyer has deemed necessary and appropriate in order for Buyer to investigate to its satisfaction the business and operations of the Company Entities sufficiently to make an informed investment decision to purchase the Subject Interests and to enter into this Agreement. Buyer (either alone or together with its Representatives) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its purchase of the Subject Interests and is capable of bearing the economic risks of such purchase. Buyer’s acceptance of the Subject Interests on the Closing Date shall be based upon its own investigation, examination and determination with respect thereto as to all matters and without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature made by or on behalf of or imputed to Seller, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(d) Buyer has relied solely on its own legal, tax and financial advisors for its evaluation of its investment decision to purchase the Subject Interests and to enter into this Agreement and not on the advice of Seller or its Affiliates or their respective legal, tax or financial advisors. Buyer acknowledges that any financial projections that may have been provided to it are based on assumptions of future operating results based on assumptions about certain events (many of which are beyond the control of Seller). Buyer understands that no assurances or representations can be given that the actual results of the operations of any Company Entity will conform to the projected results for any period. Except with respect to any representation or warranty expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Buyer specifically acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made, and that Buyer has not relied on any representation or warranty, as to the accuracy of any projections, estimates or budgets, future revenues, future results from operations, future cash flows, the future condition of the FPS, the Lateral Facilities or any assets of any Company Entity, the future financial condition of such Company Entity, or any other information or documents made available to Buyer, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to provide any access or information to Buyer, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives which Seller reasonably believes it is prohibited from providing by reason of applicable Law, which constitutes or allows access to information protected by attorney-client privilege, or which Seller is required to keep confidential or prevent access to by reason of any Contract with any third party.
(h) It is further agreed that none of Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives shall, prior to the Closing Date, contact any competitor, customer, supplier, distributor, contractor, service provider, lender, employee, agent or Representative of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Entities) with respect to the business and operations of the Company Entities or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any Governmental Authority or Representatives thereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in person or by telephone, mail or other means of communication, without the specific prior authorization of Seller (other than any required filings contemplated by Section 5.9); provided, that Buyer may contact employees, agents and Representatives of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Entities) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.2(a).

Section 5.4 Notification of Certain Matters. Buyer and Seller shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify each other of any material Actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement commenced or, to Buyer’s Knowledge or Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, against Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, or any of their respective Affiliates.
Section 5.5 Disclosure Schedule Update. From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller may, at its option, supplement or amend and deliver such updates to the Seller Disclosure Schedule (each a “Schedule Update”) as may be necessary to complete or correct any information in such Seller Disclosure Schedule or in any representation or warranty of Seller that has been rendered inaccurate or incomplete due to any change, event, effect or occurrence since the date of this Agreement. Any such Schedule Update (a) shall not be deemed to have been made as of the date of this Agreement for purposes of determining whether the conditions in ARTICLE VI have been satisfied and (b) shall be deemed to have made as of the date of this Agreement for purposes of the indemnification provisions in ARTICLE VII. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement and it shall not otherwise be deemed a breach of this Agreement as a result of any Schedule Updates that relate to any actions permitted by or taken pursuant to Section 5.1.
Section 5.6 Buyer Financing. If Buyer intends to raise equity or debt financing in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, then Buyer shall deliver written notice of such intent to Seller as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than five (5) days following the date of this Agreement. Seller and its Affiliates shall in good faith cooperate with Buyer and its Affiliates to assist Buyer in preparing and marketing the equity or debt financing, as the case may be; provided, that Buyer shall reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with the performance of their obligations under this Section 5.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the condition set forth in Section 6.1(d), as it applies to the obligations of Seller under this Section 5.6, shall be deemed satisfied unless Seller’s willful breach of its obligations under this Section 5.6 is the direct and proximate cause of the Buyer’s failure to consummate the Closing.

(c) All sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges as levied by any Tax Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Buyer; provided, however, that each of the Buyer and Seller shall be responsible for all interest, penalties, additions or additional amounts imposed as a result of such Party’s failure to timely pay its share (as determined under this Section 5.7(a)) of such Transfer Taxes. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other to obtain exemptions from Transfer Taxes. The party responsible under applicable Law for filing any Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall duly and timely file, taking into account all allowable extensions, such Tax Return with the appropriate Tax Authority.
(d) For income tax purposes, the Parties intend and agree to treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a purchase by Buyer of a twenty-six and one-third percent (26.33%) interest in each asset of the Company, followed by a contribution of their interests in the assets of the Company by each Party to form a new tax partnership, consistent with Situation 1 of Revenue Ruling 99-5, 1999-1 C.B. 434.
(e) The Parties shall cause the Company to use the remedial method, as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d), for purposes of making allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code.
(f) For purposes of allocating the taxable income of FPS LLC and Lateral LLC for the 2015 tax year between Seller and Buyer, the Parties shall cause FPS LLC and Lateral LLC to use an interim closing of the books as of the Closing Date.
(g) Seller shall provide, or cause the Company Subsidiaries to provide, to Buyer, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any Tax Return that provides for a basis adjustment under Section 743(b) of the Code attributable to the purchase of the Subject Interests herein, a draft allocation of such basis adjustment. Seller and the Company Subsidiaries shall consider in good faith any comments to such allocation provided by Buyer prior to the filing of such Tax Return.

The Organizational Documents of the Company formed after the date hereof and prior to the Closing shall be in a form customary for wholly-owned subsidiaries; provided, that the limited liability company agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the Intercompany Transfers shall be borne by Seller. The Company shall be formed for the purpose of holding, and, prior to the Closing (a) shall not operate in any manner except to hold, the Company Subsidiary Interests, (b) shall not own interests or investments in any Person (other than the Company Subsidiaries) or any assets other than the Company Subsidiary Interests and (c) shall not assume or incur any Liabilities other than those incidental to its ownership of the Company Subsidiary Interests and Liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Section 5.9 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and applicable Law, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise, (a) to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable and to take such actions or do such things as any other Party may reasonably request in order to cause any of the conditions to such other Party’s obligation to consummate such transactions specified in ARTICLE VI to be fully satisfied, including by obtaining or making all Consents from, with or to any Person (including any Governmental Authority) required by or necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and, (b) from and after the Closing, to execute and deliver such further instruments, and take (or cause their respective Affiliates to take) such other actions, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(d) any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
Section 7.3 Limitation on Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, the maximum aggregate amount that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties under this Agreement (i) for representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 3.16, Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.6, Section 4.7 and Section 4.8 (the “Fundamental Representations”) and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8), shall not exceed the Purchase Price, and (ii) for all representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV, excluding the Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8, shall not exceed 10% of the Purchase Price.
(b) No Party shall be liable for, and no amounts of indemnity shall be payable in the case of, any claim for inaccuracies or breaches of representations and warranties (other than the Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8) unless and until the Indemnified Parties have suffered, incurred or sustained otherwise indemnifiable Losses hereunder (after giving effect to any application of any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in accordance with Section 7.5(c)) in excess of an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to claim indemnity for Losses only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Party shall be liable with respect to any individual claim for inaccuracies or breaches of representations and warranties (other than
the Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8) that results in otherwise indemnifiable Losses, and such Losses shall not be counted toward satisfaction of the Deductible, unless such Losses exceed an amount equal to two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000). For purposes of calculating Losses under this ARTICLE VII, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations and warranties shall be disregarded.
Section 7.4 Waiver of Other Representations. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IT IS THE EXPLICIT INTENT OF EACH PARTY, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE, THAT NONE OF SELLER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE OR IS MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING ANY STATUTORY OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, USAGE, SUITABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPANY ENTITIES AND THE ASSETS RELATING TO OR USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FPS, THE LATERAL FACILITIES OR THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY ENTITIES, EXCEPT THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III.
Section 7.5 Specific Performance; Waiver of Remedies; Limitation on Losses.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) each Party recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall cause the other Party to sustain irreparable harm for which it would not have an adequate remedy at Law, and therefore in the event of any such breach the aggrieved Party shall, without the posting of bond or other security (any requirement for which the Parties hereby waive), be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements, including injunctive and other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedy to which it might be entitled, (b) a Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and (c) in the event that any action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.5(a) above, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE VII shall be the exclusive remedy in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies that a Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any claim or cause of action (including any claims based upon breach of contract, tort (including negligence and misrepresentation), breach of warranty, strict liability, statute, operation of Law, or any other theory of recovery) for any Loss or Losses connected with or resulting from this Agreement or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement, other than claims for fraud by any Party in connection with this Agreement.
(j) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified Party in respect of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be reduced by any amounts actually received (including amounts received under insurance policies) by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates from third parties (such amounts are referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”). If any Company Entity or Indemnified Party or its Affiliates receives any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of a claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such claim has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the remaining unpaid balance of such claim, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each of Seller and Buyer, as appropriate, shall, or shall cause each Indemnified Party to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue promptly any claims or rights it may have against all third parties which would reduce the amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement and take all commercially reasonable actions to mitigate damages.
(k) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT, HOWEVER, SHALL ANY PARTY AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS (INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF LOST OPPORTUNITIES) OR LOSSES BASED ON DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR CALCULATED BY REFERENCE TO ANY MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS OR EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAX, DEPRECIATION OR AMORTIZATION (OR ANY OTHER VALUATION METHODOLOGY) CLAIMED BY A PARTY OR BUYER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OR SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (i) ANY ACTION FOR INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE VII, OR (ii) ANY OTHER BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDED, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY LOSSES INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF ANY FRAUD BY ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS FOR WHICH ANY PARTY IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY ANOTHER PARTY HEREUNDER.
Section 7.6 Indemnification Procedures.
(e) Any Person claiming indemnification under this ARTICLE VII is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and any Person against whom claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VII is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” If any Losses are incurred by, asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party, said Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a notice of a claim for indemnification hereunder (a “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not it disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Losses and/or (ii) whether or not it desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend (to the maximum extent possible under the circumstances) the Indemnified Party against such Losses; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend all appropriate proceedings, and with counsel of its own choosing, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by them to a final conclusion. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense or settlement it may do so at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnified Party shall not have control over such defense or settlement unless (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to adequately assume the defense of such claim or to employ counsel with respect thereto or (B) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that requires representation by separate counsel, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be paid by the Indemnifying Party, provided that in no event will the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party) in contesting any Losses that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate and related to the claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Losses, or any cross complaint against any Person. If the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of a claim within the Notice Period, then the Indemnified Party may settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a claim within the Notice Period, then the Indemnifying Party may not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (unless the Indemnifying Party is solely liable for any payments pursuant to such settlement and such settlement contains a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and no terms otherwise affecting the Indemnified Party or the Company Entities, in which case the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required).
(f) The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice of any claim for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement.
(g) The Parties shall cooperate with one another with respect to resolving any claim or Liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be paid without duplication.
Section 7.7 Survival of Indemnities.
(a) The representations and warranties in this Agreement and the covenants and obligations set forth herein required to be performed prior to the Closing shall survive for twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8 shall survive for a period ending sixty (60) days following the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account any extension thereof). For avoidance of doubt, the covenants and obligations set forth herein required to be performed from and after the Closing shall survive and be enforceable (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.5) after the Closing until fully performed; provided, that the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.2(a) shall survive the Closing until termination as provided in this Section 7.7.
(b) If an Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.7(a), previously made a claim by delivering a Claim Notice to the applicable Indemnifying Party, then any representation or warranty that would otherwise terminate in accordance with Section 7.7(a) above shall continue to survive until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 7.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, other the Transaction Documents, the Confidentiality Agreement and all other documents to be executed pursuant hereto set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements and undertakings (oral or written) relating to the subject matter hereof. No representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention has been made by either Party which is not embodied in or superseded by this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other document delivered hereunder and neither Party shall be bound by or be liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention not so set forth.
Section 9.2 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions in this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, that either Party may assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any liability hereunder.

The failure of either of the Parties at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either Party of any condition, or of any breach of any term or covenant, or breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or inaccuracy or a waiver of any other condition or of any other breach of any other term or covenant, or breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty.
