Basic Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the other Guarantors (as defined herein) agree with you as follows:

1. Issuance of Notes. The Company proposes to issue and sell to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”), Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Representatives”), and the other several Initial Purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (together with the Representatives, the “Initial Purchasers”) $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture (as defined herein) will be, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), on a senior unsecured basis, by each of the Subsidiaries (as defined herein) listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors,” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”). The Notes and the Guarantees are referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Securities will be issued under an Indenture dated as of October 16, 2012 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Securities will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Issuers have prepared a preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and a pricing supplement thereto dated the date hereof, which includes the information contained in Schedule III hereto (the “Pricing Supplement”). The Preliminary Offering Memorandum (as amended and supplemented immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined herein)) and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” Promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Issuers will prepare a final Offering Memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Memorandum”). References

herein to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum shall also be deemed to refer to and include any document incorporated by reference therein. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Time” is 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the date of this Agreement.

The Initial Purchasers have advised the Issuers that the Initial Purchasers intend, as soon as they deem practicable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered, to resell (the “Exempt Resales”) the Securities in private sales exempt from registration under the Act on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package, solely to (i) persons whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”), as defined in Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”), in accordance with Rule 144A and (ii) other eligible purchasers pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Act (“Regulation S”) in accordance with Regulations S (the persons specified in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Eligible Purchasers”).

Holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Securities will have the registration rights under the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Issuers and the Initial Purchasers, to be dated the Closing Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers will agree (a) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (i) a registration statement under the Act (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating to a new issue of debt securities (collectively with the Private Exchange Notes (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the “Exchange Notes”), guaranteed by the guarantors under the Indenture, to be offered in exchange for the Notes and the Guarantees thereof (the “Exchange Offer”) and issued under the Indenture and/or (ii) under certain circumstances set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the resale by certain holders of the Notes and the Guarantees thereof, (b) to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective and (c) to consummate the Exchange Offer, all within the time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Securities are being offered and sold by the Company in connection with a tender offer by the Company for all of its outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Tender Offer,” and together with the corresponding consent solicitation, the “Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation”). The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation and entry by the Company into Amendment No. 4 to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 15, 2011 among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3 thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), to, among other things, permit the issuance of the Securities and the repurchase or optional redemption of the outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due 2016, are referred to herein as the “Concurrent Transactions.”

This Agreement, the Notes, the Exchange Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture, and the Registration Rights Agreement are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Note Documents.”

2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Issuers agree to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers, and on the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, each of the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Issuers, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto.

The Closing Date and the location of delivery of and the form of payment for the Securities may be varied by mutual agreement between the Initial Purchasers and the Company.

The Securities shall be delivered by the Issuers to the Initial Purchasers (or as the Initial Purchasers direct) through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company against payment by the Initial Purchasers of the purchase price therefor by means of wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts specified by the Company in accordance with Section 8(h) on or prior to the Closing Date, or by such means as the parties hereto shall agree prior to the Closing Date.

All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid (to the extent required under the applicable limited liability company agreement or limited partnership agreement of the Subsidiary, as applicable) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Section 18-607 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware LLC Act”), in the case of limited liability company interests in a Delaware limited liability company, and Section 17-607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Delaware LP Act”), in the case of any partnership interests in a Delaware limited partnership, and Section 17-403 of the Delaware LP Act with respect to general partner interests in a Delaware limited partnership), and, except for directors’ qualifying shares and as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, are owned, directly or indirectly through Subsidiaries, by the Company free and clear of all liens (other than transfer restrictions imposed by the Act, the securities or Blue Sky laws of certain jurisdictions and security interests granted pursuant to the Credit Agreement).

The Indenture, when executed and delivered, will conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the Offering Memorandum.

(ix) The Notes have been duly and validly authorized for issuance and sale to the Initial Purchasers by the Company, and when issued, authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and delivered by the Company against payment therefor by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, the Notes will be legally binding and valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. The Notes, when issued, authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered, will conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the Offering Memorandum.

(x) The Exchange Notes have been, or on or before the Closing Date will be, duly and validly authorized for issuance by the Company, and when issued, authenticated and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exchange Offer and the Indenture, the Exchange Notes will be legally binding and valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

(xii) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by each Issuer and, when duly executed and delivered by the Issuers (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Initial Purchasers), will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of each such Issuer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except that (A) the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions and (B) any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder may be limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations. The Registration Rights Agreement, when executed and delivered, will conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the Offering Memorandum.

(xiv) The execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents and the issuance and sale of the Securities does not and will not (A) violate the charter, bylaws or other constitutive documents of the Company or any Subsidiary, (B) conflict with or constitute a breach of or a default under (or an event that with notice or the lapse

of time, or both, would constitute a default), or require consent under, or result in a Repayment Event (as defined herein), other than a Repayment Event that will be satisfied at the Closing Date as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum, or the creation or imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary under any of the Agreements and Instruments or (C) violate any law, statute, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority, except for such conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults in the cases of clauses (B) and (C) that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers in Section 5(b) of this Agreement, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration, qualification, license or permit of or with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by the Company or any Subsidiary for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Note Documents, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except (1) such as have been or will be obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date, (2) registration of the Exchange Offer or resale of the Notes under the Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), in connection with the issuance of the Exchange Notes, and (3) such filings as may be required to terminate Liens securing existing indebtedness to be paid off with the proceeds of the Offering. No consents or waivers from any other person or entity are required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents, and the issuance and sale of the Securities, other than such consents and waivers as have been obtained or will be obtained prior to the Closing Date and will be in full force and effect. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(xv) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, there are no outstanding loans, advances (except advances for business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees of indebtedness by the Company or any affiliate of the Company to or for the benefit of any of the officers or directors of the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any of their respective family members.

(xvi) The public accountants whose report is included in the Offering Memorandum are independent within the meaning of the Act. The historical consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) included in or incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholder’s equity of the Company at the respective dates and for the respective periods indicated. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods presented (except as disclosed therein) and in compliance with Regulation S-X (“Regulation S-X”) under the Exchange Act. The information set

forth under the captions “Offering Memorandum Summary — Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Data” and “Selected Historical Financial Data” included in the Offering Memorandum has been prepared on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements of the Company. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum has been calculated in compliance with Item 503(d) of Regulation S-K. The other financial information, including but not limited to non-GAAP financial measures, if any, included in or incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum, has been prepared in good faith and on a reasonable basis consistent with that of the unaudited financial statements of the Company. Since the date as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum, except as set forth in the Offering Memorandum (including the Concurrent Transactions), (A) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has (1) incurred any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (2) entered into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business, (B) there has not been any event or development in respect of the business or condition (financial or other) of the Company or any Subsidiary that, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (C) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any of its equity interests and (D) there has not been any change in the long-term debt of the Company or any Subsidiary other than changes due to ordinary course of business capital leases. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

(xvii) The statistical and market-related data and forward-looking statements included in the Offering Memorandum are based on or derived from sources that the Issuers believe to be reliable and accurate in all material respects and represent their good faith estimates that are made on the basis of data derived from such sources. The Company has obtained the written consent to the use of such data from such sources to the extent required.

(xviii) As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, immediately prior to and immediately following the issuance and sale of the Securities, each Issuer is and will be Solvent. As used herein, “Solvent” shall mean, for any person on a particular date, that on such date (A) the fair value of the property of such person is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of such person, (B) the present fair salable value of the assets of such person is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such person on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (C) such person does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities beyond such person’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature, (D) such person is not engaged in a business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in a business or a transaction, for which such person’s property would constitute an unreasonably small capital and (E) such person is able to pay its debts as they become due and payable.

(xix) Except as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, there is (A) no action, suit or proceeding before or by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator, now pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, threatened or contemplated, to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may be a party or to which the business, assets or property of the Company or any Subsidiary is or may be subject and (B) no judgment, decree or order of any Governmental Authority that, in either of clause (A) or (B), could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xx) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no labor disturbance by the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, is imminent.

(xxi) Except as described in the Offering Memorandum and except for such matters as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, (A) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, policy or rule of common law or any judicial or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial or administrative order, consent, decree or judgment, relating to pollution or protection of human health, the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the release or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum or petroleum products, asbestos-containing materials or mold (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) or to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), (B) the Company and its Subsidiaries have all permits, authorizations and approvals required under any applicable Environmental Laws and are each in compliance with their requirements, (C) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened administrative, regulatory or judicial actions, suits, demands, demand letters, claims, liens, notices of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating to any Environmental Law against the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, and (D) to the knowledge of the Company, there are no events or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to form the basis of an order for clean-up or remediation, or an action, suit or proceeding by any private party or governmental body or agency, against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Hazardous Materials or any Environmental Laws. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review and the amount of its established reserves, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxii) The Company and its Subsidiaries possess adequate certificates, authorities or permits issued by appropriate governmental agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them and have not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit that, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxiii) The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and indefeasible title in fee simple to all items of owned real property, and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by each of them in each case free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance, security interest or other defect or claim of any third party, except (A) such as would not reasonably be expected a Material Adverse Effect, (B) liens described in the Offering Memorandum and (C) liens permitted by the Indenture. Any real property, personal property and buildings held under lease by any of them are held under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxiv) Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has insurance covering its properties, operations, personnel and business, including protection and indemnity insurance, which insurance is in amounts and insures against such losses and risks as are generally deemed adequate to protect each of the Company and the Subsidiaries and its business consistent with industry practice. All policies of insurance insuring the Company and its Subsidiaries or their businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect, except where the failure to have such policies in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Company has no reason to believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will not be able to renew existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxv) All tax returns required to be filed by the Company or any Subsidiary have been filed (or extensions have been obtained) in all jurisdictions where such returns are required to be filed; and all taxes, including withholding taxes, value added and franchise taxes, penalties and interest, assessments, fees and other charges due or claimed to be due from such entities or that are due and payable have been paid, other than those being contested in good faith and for which reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or those currently payable without penalty or interest and except where the failure to make such required filings or payments could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxvi) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is, or after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will be, required to be registered as an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(xxvii) The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of their financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for their assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(xxviii) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries is made known to the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company by others within the Company or any Subsidiary and such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to perform the functions for which they were established subject to the limitations of any such control system; the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company have been advised of: (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

(xxix) Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Act) has, directly or through any person acting on its or their behalf (other than any Initial Purchaser, as to which no representation is made), (A) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of any Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities, (B) sold, bid for, purchased or paid any person any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Securities in a manner that would require registration of the Securities under the Act or paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of any Issuer in a manner that would require registration of the Securities under the Act, (C) sold, offered for sale, contracted to sell, pledged, solicited offers to buy or otherwise disposed of or negotiated in respect of any security (as defined in the Act) that is currently or will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration of the Securities under the Act or (D) engaged in any directed selling effort (as defined by Regulation S) with respect to the Securities, and each of them has complied with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulations.

(xxx) The Issuers and their respective affiliates and all persons acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company and the Guarantors make no representation) have complied with and will comply with the offering restrictions requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the Securities outside the United States and, in connection therewith, the Offering Memorandum will contain the disclosure required by Rule 902 under the Act. The Company is a “reporting issuer” as defined in Rule 902 under the Act.

(xxxi) No form of general solicitation or general advertising (prohibited by the Act in connection with offers or sales such as the Exempt Resales) was used by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (other than any Initial Purchaser as to which no representation is made) in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Securities or in connection with Exempt Resales, including, but not limited to, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio or the Internet, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act. The Company has not made, and has not permitted any of its affiliates or anyone acting on its or its affiliates behalf to make, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document other than as set forth on Schedule IV hereto. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has entered into, or will enter into, any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Securities except for this Agreement.

(xxxii) Except as described in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company or any Subsidiary and any other person other than the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company, any Subsidiary or any of the Initial Purchasers for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the issuance, purchase and sale of the Securities.

(xxxiii) The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have made all certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Company is otherwise in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that are effective.

(xxxiv) None of the Issuers nor, to the knowledge of the Issuers, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of any of the Issuers is currently the subject of any sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person or entity that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any sanctions administered by OFAC.

(xxxv) None of the Issuers nor its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Issuers, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person associated with or acting on behalf of any of the Issuers or its Subsidiaries, has (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity; or (ii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977.

(xxxvi) The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened.

Each certificate signed by any officer of any Issuer and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Issuers to the Initial Purchasers as to the matters covered by such certificate.

The Company acknowledges that the Initial Purchasers and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, counsel to the Company and counsel to the Initial Purchasers will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and the Company hereby consents to such reliance.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that: (i) it will offer and sell Securities only to (y) persons who it reasonably believes are QIB in transactions meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (z) upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5(c) of this Agreement; (ii) it is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act; and it will not offer or sell Securities by, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including but not limited to the methods described in Rule 502(c) under the Act.

(i) It has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Securities in the United States or to, or for the benefit or account of, a U.S. Person (other than a distributor), in each case, as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S (A) as part of its distribution at any time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Securities pursuant hereto and the Closing Date, other than in accordance with Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

(ii) During such 40-day restricted period, it will not cause any advertisement with respect to the Securities (including any “tombstone” advertisement) to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and will not issue any circular relating to the Securities, except such advertisements as are permitted by and include the statements required by Regulation S.

(iii) At or prior to confirmation of a sale of Securities by it to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration during the 40-day restricted period referred to in Rule 903 of Regulation S, it will send to such distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of your distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the date the Securities were first offered to persons other than distributors in reliance upon Regulation S and the Closing Date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (or in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or to accredited investors in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act), and in connection with any subsequent sale by you of the Securities covered hereby in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act during the period referred to above to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration, you must deliver a notice to substantially the foregoing effect. Terms used above have the meanings assigned to them in Regulation S under the Securities Act.

6. Indemnification.

(a) The Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers, each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, the agents, employees, officers and directors of the Initial Purchasers and any affiliates of any Initial Purchaser from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all reasonable amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) (collectively, “Losses”) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided

that none of the Issuers will be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relating to an Initial Purchaser made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers may otherwise have, including, but not limited to, liability under this Agreement.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, each person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and the agents, employees, officers and directors of any of the Issuers from and against any and all Losses to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relating to such Initial Purchaser made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers through the Representatives have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in (i) the third and fourth sentences of the paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution—New Issue of Notes” and (ii) the first and second sentences of the first paragraph, and the first sentence of the third paragraph, under the heading “Plan of Distribution—Short Positions,” in each case in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 6(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding (collectively, an “action”), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such section, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement of such action (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in

such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such action, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the named parties to such action (including any impleaded parties) include such indemnified party and the indemnifying parties (or such indemnifying parties have assumed the defense of such action), and such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them that are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising in the same jurisdiction out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (A) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (B) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (C) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 45 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

7. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6 of this Agreement is for any reason held to be unavailable from the indemnifying party, or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified under Section 6 of this Agreement, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such aggregate Losses (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers, on the

one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities or (b) if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as (x) the total proceeds from the offering of Securities (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and (y) the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by an Issuer or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission.

The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, (i) in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and each person, if any, who controls an Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Issuer shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 7, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 7 or otherwise, except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 6 for purposes of indemnification. Anything in this section to the contrary notwithstanding, no party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent; provided, however, that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 8 will be delivered at the office of counsel for the Initial Purchasers on the Closing Date.

The agreements contained in Sections 4(f), 6, 7, and 10(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 10.

(e) If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 10(e), the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
