4.17 Investment Representations.

(a) GES is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of a complete loss of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the GES Shares. GES has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the GES Shares. GES is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and has had access to such information concerning the Company and the GES Shares as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the purchase or acquisition of the GES Shares. With the assistance of GES’s own professional advisors, to the extent that GES has deemed appropriate, GES has made its own legal, Tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the GES Shares and the consequences of this Agreement. GES has considered the suitability of the GES Shares as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial condition.

(b) GES is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect (“Reg D”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). GES agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the GES Shares.

(c) The GES Shares to be acquired by GES under this Agreement will be acquired for investment for GES’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. GES has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise transferring or distributing the GES Shares. GES does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the GES Shares.

20

(d) GES understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that no public market may ever exist for the GES Shares.

(e) GES confirms that it is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates, as investment advice or as a recommendation to purchase or acquire the GES Shares. It is understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the GES Shares provided by the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to purchase or acquire the GES Shares, and that neither the Company nor any of its representatives or Affiliates is acting or has acted as an advisor to GES in deciding to invest in the GES Shares. GES acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its representatives or Affiliates has made any representation regarding the proper characterization of the GES Shares for purposes of determining GES’s authority to invest in the GES Shares.

(f) GES understands that the GES Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities Laws or blue sky Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of GES and of the other representations made by GES in this Agreement. GES understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. GES further understands that as such the GES Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations, such Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances as provided by applicable Law. In this connection, GES represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Consequently, GES understands that GES must bear the economic risks of the investment in the GES Shares for an indefinite period of time. GES understands that no federal or state agency or other Governmental Authority has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the GES or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of an investment in the GES Shares.

(g) GES agrees: (A) that it will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the GES Shares or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the GES Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws; (B) that any certificates, book entry notations or document representing the GES Shares may bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (C) that the Company and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such GES Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

21

(h) GES acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other Person offered to sell the GES Shares to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: (A) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (B) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(i) GES confirms that the Company has not (A) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, Tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the GES Shares or (B) made any representation to the Buyer regarding the legality of an investment in the Securities under applicable legal investment or similar laws or regulations. In deciding to purchase the Securities, the Buyer is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and the Buyer has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for the Buyer.

(j) GES will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in which GES purchases, acquires or sells GES Shares and obtain any consent, approval or permission required for such purchases, acquisitions or sales under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction to which GES is subject or in which GES makes such purchases, acquisitions or sales, and the Company shall have no responsibility therefor.

RAC is duly licensed or qualified to transact business as a foreign limited liability

26

company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the character of the properties owned or leased by it requires such licensing or qualification, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, results of operations or liabilities of RAC, or impair the ability of RAC to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “RAC Material Adverse Effect”).

5.4 Authorization. RAC has full limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the RAC Shares, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any and all limited liability company action on the part of RAC and its officers, managers and members necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance of all obligations of RAC hereunder and thereunder, has been taken. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of RAC, enforceable against RAC in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

(b) All Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) relating to the RAC Contributed Assets that are due and payable have been timely paid (subject to all applicable extensions).

27

(c) Except for Taxes not yet due and payable, (i) there are no Liens for unpaid Taxes upon the RAC Contributed Assets, and (ii) no claim for unpaid Taxes has been made by any Tax authority that could give rise to any such Lien.

(d) RAC is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will continue to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, at all times through the Closing.

5.9 Investment Representations.

(a) RAC is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of a complete loss of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the RAC Shares. RAC has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the RAC Shares. RAC is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and has had access to such information concerning the Company and the RAC Shares as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the purchase or acquisition of the RAC Shares. With the assistance of RAC’s own professional advisors, to the extent that RAC has deemed appropriate, RAC has made its own legal, Tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the RAC Shares and the consequences of this Agreement. RAC has considered the suitability of the RAC Shares as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial condition.

(b) RAC is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Reg D under the Securities Act. RAC agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the RAC Shares.

(c) The RAC Shares to be acquired by RAC under this Agreement will be acquired for investment for RAC’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. Subject to distributions being made to the members of RAC pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of RAC, neither RAC nor any member of RAC has the present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise transferring or distributing the RAC Shares. RAC does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the RAC Shares.

(d) RAC understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that no public market may ever exist for the RAC Shares.

(e) RAC confirms that it is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates, as investment advice or as a recommendation to purchase or acquire the RAC Shares. It is understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the RAC Shares provided by the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to purchase or acquire the RAC Shares, and that neither the Company nor

28

any of its representatives or Affiliates is acting or has acted as an advisor to RAC in deciding to invest in the RAC Shares. RAC acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its representatives or Affiliates has made any representation regarding the proper characterization of the RAC Shares for purposes of determining RAC’s authority to invest in the RAC Shares.

(f) RAC understands that the RAC Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities Laws or blue sky Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of RAC and of the other representations made by RAC in this Agreement. RAC understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. RAC further understands that as such the RAC Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations, such Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances as provided by applicable Law. In this connection, RAC represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Consequently, RAC understands that RAC must bear the economic risks of the investment in the RAC Shares for an indefinite period of time. RAC understands that no federal or state agency or other Governmental Authority has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the RAC or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of an investment in the RAC Shares.

(g) RAC agrees: (A) that it will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the RAC Shares or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the RAC Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws; (B) that any certificates, book entry notations or document representing the RAC Shares may bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (C) that the Company and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such RAC Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

(h) RAC acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other Person offered to sell the RAC Shares to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: (A) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (B) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(i) RAC confirms that the Company has not (A) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, Tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the RAC Shares or (B) made any representation to the Buyer regarding the legality of an investment in the Securities under applicable legal investment or similar laws or regulations. In deciding to purchase the Securities, the Buyer is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and the Buyer has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for the Buyer.

29

(j) RAC will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in which RAC purchases, acquires or sells RAC Shares and obtain any consent, approval or permission required for such purchases, acquisitions or sales under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction to which RAC is subject or in which RAC makes such purchases, acquisitions or sales, and the Company shall have no responsibility therefor.

(k) There is no suit, action or legal, administrative or arbitration proceeding (including any citations, complaints, consent orders, compliance schedules or other similar enforcement orders), claim or action or any governmental investigation pending against RAC or, to the Knowledge of RAC, threatened against RAC that questions or challenges RAC’s participation, or right to participate in, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.2, GES shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its successors and assigns, representatives and Affiliates, and each of its directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Company Group”) from and against all claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, demands, losses, damages, judgments, fines, settlements, liabilities, costs, Taxes and expenses, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’, experts’ and accounting fees and expenses of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Damages”), asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by any member of the Company Group to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from (i) a breach of any representation or warranty of GES contained herein, (ii) a breach of any covenant or agreement of GES contained herein or (iii) the GES Retained Liabilities. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7.2 is not limited to third-party claims against members of the Company Group. Except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Section 7.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company with respect to breaches of any representation or warranty of GES contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GES shall not be liable for Damages for any matter described under Section 7.2(a)(i) unless the total of all Damages in respect of claims made under this Section 7.2(a)(i) by the Company Group for indemnification from GES shall exceed $1,800,000.00 in the aggregate (the “GES Threshold”), and then for the entire amount of such Damages, including the Threshold; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental GES Representation. The maximum aggregate amount for which GES shall be liable to the Company Group for all Damages for any matter described under this Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $18,000,000.00 (the “GES Cap”); provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental GES Representation. Except for Damages arising from third-party claims for Damages payable in cash, which shall be payable by GES solely in cash, GES shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any indemnification obligation under this Section 7.2 by payment in cash or by the forfeiture of the number of GES Shares equal to (y) the amount of the indemnification obligation owed by GES, divided by (z) the Per Share Fair Market Value of the GES Shares at the time such indemnification obligation is owed to the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, GES shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the members of the Company Group from and against any and all Damages (including reasonable costs of investigation) asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by each of the members of the Company Group arising out of or based upon (i) the failure of the Rule 144A Offering to comply with the Securities Act and all applicable federal and state securities and blue sky Laws or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Company Offering Materials or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon

34

any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to the Company or the Business furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Company expressly for use in connection with the Company Offering Materials.

7.3 Agreement to Indemnify by RAC. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.3, RAC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Group from and against all Damages asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by any member of the Company Group to the extent caused by, arising out of or resulting from (a) a breach of any representation or warranty of RAC contained herein, (b) a breach of any covenant or agreement of RAC contained herein or (c) the RAC Retained Liabilities. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7.3 is not limited to third-party claims against members of the Company Group. Except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provided in this Section 7.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company with respect to breaches of any representation or warranty of RAC contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RAC shall not be liable for Damages for any matter described under Section 7.3(a) unless the total of all Damages in respect of claims made under this Section 7.3(a) by the Company Group for indemnification from RAC shall exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of the Aggregate Value of the RAC Contributed Assets (the “RAC Threshold”) and then for the entire amount of the Damages, including the RAC Threshold; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental RAC Representation. The maximum aggregate amount for which RAC shall be liable to the Company Group for all Damages for any matter described under this Section 7.3(a) shall not exceed 50% of the Aggregate Value of the RAC Contributed Assets (the “RAC Cap”); provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud or with respect to a breach of any Fundamental RAC Representation. Any indemnification obligation of RAC under this Section 7.3 shall be satisfied in full by the forfeiture of the number of RAC Shares equal to (i) the amount of the indemnification obligation owed by RAC, divided by (ii) the Per Share Fair Market Value of the RAC Shares at the time such indemnification obligation is owed to the Company. The amounts of the RAC Threshold and the RAC Cap shall be definitively determined and set forth on Exhibit H at the Closing.

7.4 Per Share Fair Market Value. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Per Share Fair Market Value” shall be determined as follows:

(i) If the Company’s common stock is publicly traded at the date on which the Per Share Fair Market Value is to be determined, the Per Share Fair Market Value shall equal the average closing price for the Company’s common stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date on which Per Share Fair Market Value is to be determined.

(ii) If the Company’s common stock is not publicly traded on the date of such determination, the Per Share Fair Market Value shall be determined by an agreement between the Company and GES or RAC, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), within fifteen (15) days after the date in question; provided, however, if the Company and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree upon such valuation within such time period, the Per Share Fair Market Value shall be determined by an appraisal firm mutually selected by the

35

Company and the Indemnifying Party, which appraisal shall be binding on both the Company and the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Company and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree on the selection of an appraisal firm within ten (10) days, then each party shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, select an appraisal firm to appraise the Per Share Fair Market Value of the common stock of the Company, and the two selected appraisers shall select a third appraiser. All three appraisers shall have experience in appraising businesses similar in type and nature to the Company for at least ten (10) years. Each appraisal firm so selected shall furnish the Company and the Indemnifying Party with a written appraisal within thirty (30) days of its selection, setting forth its determination of the Per Share Fair Market Value as of the date of the indemnification obligation is owed to the Company. Such appraisal shall assume that the operation of the Company’s assets shall be the highest and best use thereof, and the appraisal shall include value for any intangible assets of the Company, such as goodwill. The Per Share Fair Market Value shall be agreed upon by the three appraisers; provided, however, that if the three appraisers cannot agree upon such value, then the valuations of each of the three appraisers shall be submitted to the Company and the Indemnifying Party and the Per Share Fair Market Value shall be determined as follows:

(A) If any two or more of the appraisers are able to agree on the Per Share Fair Market Value, then such value shall be the Per Share Fair Market Value.

(B) If no two appraisers agree upon such value, then the Per Share Fair Market Value shall be determined in the following manner:

(1) If the highest value set by one appraiser is not more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the next lower value set by another appraiser and the lowest value set by one appraiser is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the next higher value set by another appraiser, then the values set by the three appraisers shall be added together and divided by three, and the amount resulting shall represent the Per Share Fair Market Value.

(2) If the highest value set by one appraiser is more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the next lower value set by another appraiser, then the highest value shall be reduced to an amount equal to said one hundred ten percent (110%) figure; and if the lowest value set by one appraiser is less than ninety percent (90%) of the next higher value set by another appraiser, then the lowest value shall be increased to an amount equal to said ninety percent (90%) figure. The three values, adjusted as provided above, shall be added together and divided by three, and the amount resulting shall represent the Per Share Fair Market Value.

36

7.5 Conditions of Indemnification by Each Contributor. The obligations and liabilities of each Contributor to indemnify the Company Group under Section 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable, resulting from the assertion of any Damages by third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The indemnified party will give the indemnifying party prompt notice of any such claim, and the indemnifying party will undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided that failure to provide such notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such failure to receive such notice. If the indemnifying party, within twenty (20) days after notice of any such claim, fails to give notice of its intent to defend such claim, the indemnified party will (upon further notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, (i) an indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim (except if there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, such participation, including the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel, shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment (x) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party a release from all liability in respect of such claim or (y) as a result of which injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the indemnified party, and (iii) the indemnified party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of that portion of any claim which seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party; provided, however, that in connection with the defense or settlement of the portion of such claim which seeks equitable relief, the indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party.

7.6 Survival of Representations by the Company.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 7.6(b), the representations and warranties made by the Company contained in Section 6 shall survive the Closing and shall continue for a one (1) year period following the Closing. The covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed in accordance with their terms.

(b) The representations and warranties of the Company contained Section 6.1 (Qualification), Section 6.2 (Capitalization), Section 6.3 (Authority) and Section 6.4 (Valid Issuance of Shares) (collectively, the “Fundamental Company Representations”), and Section 6.6 (Consents) and Section 6.11 (Brokers) shall survive indefinitely.

The maximum aggregate amount for which the Company shall be liable to the Contributors for all Damages hereunder shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate value contributed to the Company by GES and RAC (the “Company Cap”); provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the case of fraud, with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Company Representation or with respect to any covenant or agreement of the Company pertaining to Taxes. The amounts of the Company Threshold and the Company Cap shall be definitively determined and set forth on Exhibit I at the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the members of each of the GES Group and the RAC Group from and against any and all Damages (including reasonable costs of investigation) asserted against, suffered by, imposed upon or incurred by the members of each of the GES Group and the RAC Group arising out of or based upon (i) the failure of the Rule 144A Offering to comply with the Securities Act and all applicable federal and state securities and blue sky Laws or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Company Offering Materials or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to the Company, the Business, the GES Group or the RAC Group furnished in writing by or on behalf of either the GES Group or the RAC Group expressly for use in connection with the Company Offering Materials.

(a) The indemnified party will give the indemnifying party prompt notice of any such claim, and the indemnifying party will undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided

38

that failure to provide such notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such failure to receive such notice. If the indemnifying party, within twenty (20) days after notice of any such claim, fails to give notice of its intent to defend such claim, the indemnified party will (upon further notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of indemnifying party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.8 to the contrary, (i) an indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim (except if there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, such participation, including the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel, shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment (x) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party a release from all liability in respect of such claim or (y) as a result of which injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the indemnified party, and (iii) the indemnified party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of that portion of any claim which seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party; provided, however, that in connection with the defense or settlement of the portion of such claim which seeks equitable relief, the indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party.

9.5 Title and Survey.

(a) GES has delivered to the Company a preliminary title commitment (the “Title Commitment”), sufficient for the issuance of a TLTA Owner Policy of Title Insurance with respect to the Real Estate in the amount of $3,900,000.00 (the “Title Policy”), issued by American Title Company of Houston, 2000 Bering Drive, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77057 (the “Title Company”) as agent for First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Underwriter”), together with true, correct and legible copies of all instruments referred to therein as conditions or exceptions to title. The Company will have ten (10) days after receipt of the last of the Title Commitment, legible copies of documents evidencing title exceptions, and the Updated Survey (defined below) to object in writing to matters disclosed in the Title Commitment other than the standard printed exceptions contained in the promulgated form of the Title Commitment. The Company’s failure to object under this paragraph within the time allowed will constitute a waiver of the Company’s right to object, except that the requirements in Schedule C of the Title Commitment will not be deemed to have been waived. If objections hereunder are made by the Company within the time allowed, GES shall notify the Company within five (5) days of receipt of such objections as to whether GES intends to cure such objections, in which event GES shall have ten (10) days after the date of such notice to the Company to cure such objections. If GES has not notified the Company within five (5) days of receipt of the Company’s objections under this paragraph of its intent to cure such objections or if GES elects not to cure all of such objections, the Company shall have only the right, by giving notice thereof to GES within ten (10) days of the expiration of GES’s reply period or receipt of GES’s election not to cure the Company’s objections, (a) to terminate this Agreement, or (b) to waive such objections under this paragraph and proceed to Closing. In the event the Company does not give such election notice within said ten (10) days period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected option (b) above. Should GES elect to cure the Company’s objections and fail to do so within the time allowed hereunder, the Company may elect to extend the Closing Date as necessary to allow GES to cure such objections, or to terminate this Agreement,

43

or to waive such objections and proceed to Closing under the provisions as stated herein. Those exceptions that appear in the Title Commitment and conditions shown on the Updated Survey (defined below), in each case as accepted by the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 9.5, shall constitute the “Permitted Exceptions”; provided, however, that the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall not include any Liens or title defects that GES is obligated to cure hereunder or agrees to cure before the Closing.

(b) GES has delivered to the Company a Texas Society of Professional Surveyors Category 1A, Condition II, as-built survey for the Real Estate (“Original Survey”). The Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion and expense, have prepared by a Texas registered land surveyor, and deliver to GES, not later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, an updated survey of the Real Estate (“Updated Survey”) and metes and bounds field note description thereof, properly certified to the Company and the Title Company. The Original Survey and the Updated Survey (collectively, the “Surveys”), shall: (i) identify the Real Estate by metes and bounds or platted lot description; (ii) show that such Survey was made and staked on the ground with corners permanently marked; (iii) set forth the dimensions and total area of the Real Estate; (iv) show the location of all Improvements, highways, streets, roads, railroads, rivers, creeks, or other waterways, fences, easements, and rights of way on the Real Estate with all easements and rights of way referenced to their recording information; and (v) show any discrepancies or conflicts in boundaries, any visible encroachments, and any portion of the Real Estate lying within the 100-year floodplain as shown on the current Federal Emergency Management Agency map. The Company may within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of each Survey object in writing to any matter that constitutes a defect or encumbrance to title on such Survey or if such Survey shows any part of the Real Estate to lie in a 100-year floodplain area. The Company’s failure to object under this paragraph within the time allowed will constitute a waiver of the Company’s right to object, except that the requirements in Schedule C of the Title Commitment will not be deemed to have been waived. The Company’s failure to make an objection with regard to the Original Survey shall constitute a waiver of the Company’s right to make the same objection to the Updated Survey. If objections hereunder are made by the Company within the time allowed, such objections shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5(a). The legal description used in the Updated Survey and approved by the Company and GES shall be utilized in the Deed and other documents and schedules related to this Agreement, including Schedule 2.1(e) of the GES Disclosure Schedules (which schedule shall, notwithstanding Section 4.23, be updated with such description from the Updated Survey that is so approved).

(c) At the Closing, the Company shall, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, obtain the Title Policy with respect to the Real Estate. The Title Policy shall show fee simple title to the Real Estate vested in the Company, subject only to: (a) current real estate Taxes not yet due and payable, the liability for which is apportioned pursuant to Section 9.9; and (b) the Permitted Exceptions.

9.6 Offering Materials.

(a) The Company shall promptly provide to GES, when available, copies of all materials and documents related to and prepared in connection with the Rule 144A Offering and any other sale of interests in the Company before the Closing Date, including,

(b) RAC shall promptly provide to GES, when available, copies of all materials and documents related to and prepared in connection with the sale of any of its equity interests, including, without limitation, any and all organizational documents of RAC (the “RAC Offering Materials”). The Closing shall be subject to the review and approval of the RAC Offering Materials by GES and the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.7 Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Close.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each party hereto covenants and agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and will fully cooperate with the other parties hereto for such purpose.

GES at its own expense shall file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any GES Transfer Taxes. GES, RAC, and the Company shall each cooperate with one another in the preparation of any necessary Tax Returns and other related documentation with respect to GES Transfer Taxes (including any exemption certificates and forms as each may request to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) or make a report with respect to GES Transfer Taxes).

(b) RAC Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay and be responsible for any Transfer Taxes imposed on, or resulting from, the transfer of any of the RAC Contributed Assets (collectively, “RAC Transfer Taxes”). GES, RAC, and the Company agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any RAC Transfer Taxes, and to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any RAC Transfer Taxes. The Company at its own expense shall file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any RAC Transfer Taxes. GES, RAC, and the Company shall each cooperate with one another in the preparation of any necessary Tax Returns and other related documentation with respect to RAC Transfer Taxes (including any exemption certificates and forms as each may request to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) or make a report with respect to RAC Transfer Taxes).

(c) Property Taxes on GES Contributed Assets. With respect to any Property Taxes, including payments in-lieu-of Property Taxes, assessed on any of the GES Contributed Assets for a Straddle Period, the liability for such Property Taxes shall be prorated on a daily basis between GES and the Company as of the Closing Date, (i) with GES being liable for the portion of such Property Taxes equal to the product of (1) the amount of such Property Taxes for the entirety of the Straddle Period, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period, and (ii) with the Company being liable for the remainder of such Property Taxes. Prior to the Closing Date, GES and the Company shall jointly, in good faith, estimate the amount of Property Taxes for which GES is liable with regard to Straddle Periods pursuant to this Section 9.10(c) (the “Estimated Property Taxes”), and GES shall make a cash payment at the Closing to the Company for the amount of the Estimated Property Taxes. If the Property Taxes for a Straddle Period cannot be reasonably determined prior to the Closing because the applicable Tax rate or assessment with respect to the applicable Assets is not fixed for such Straddle Period, the amount of Estimated Property Taxes shall be determined based upon the amount of the applicable Property Taxes for the preceding Tax year; provided, that GES and the Company shall recalculate and reprorate said Property Taxes and payments and make the necessary adjustments and payments promptly upon the issuance, and on the basis, of the actual Property Tax bills received for such Straddle Period.

48

In addition, the Company and the Contributors each will retain until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired copies of all Tax Returns (including supporting work schedules, and other records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Returns) and other Tax records relating to the Contributed Assets and the Business in its possession and will not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Returns or records without first providing the other with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy or retain the same.

(f) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and state, local, and foreign Tax purposes where applicable), GES, RAC, and the Company intend for the GES Contribution, the RAC Contribution, and the Rule 144A Offering to be treated as a single integrated transaction that qualifies as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code. Each of GES, RAC, and the Company shall report and file (and shall cause its Affiliates to report and file) its respective U.S. federal income tax returns (and state, local, and foreign Tax Returns where applicable) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such intent and treatment.

EXHIBIT A

Rig Contract

Global Energy Services Operating, LLC Drilling Rig Contract

This Drilling Rig Contract and all Exhibits attached to and incorporated into this Contract by reference (“Contract”) is entered into on the 23rd day of November, 2011 (“Execution Date”) by and between Global Energy Services Operating, LLC (“Seller”) and Independence Contract Drilling, LLC (“Buyer”). Seller and Buyer may be referred to collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

In consideration of the promises below, the Parties agree as follows.

1. Scope of Contract

1.1 Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to buy, under the terms and conditions stated in this Contract, the equipment and materials as set forth in Exhibit A (“Rig”).

1.2 Buyer Responsibility: Buyer, through its own analysis, is solely responsible for making the final product selection and assuring that all performance, endurance, maintenance, safety, and warning requirements for Buyer’s particular application are met. Buyer must analyse all aspects of its particular application and follow applicable industry standards and product information. If Seller provides product options, Buyer is responsible for determining the utility and functionality of the option, as well as its suitability and sufficiency for the reasonably foreseeable uses of the Rig by Buyer.

2. Terms

2.1 Buyer agrees to pay $13,665,350 (“Sales Price”) for the purchase of Rig as listed in the Seller’s Quote GES11-6114-04 attached as Exhibit B (“Quote”).

2.2 Payment shall be tendered by Buyer to Seller in installments, as follows:

a. a down payment of 40% of the Sales Price (“Down Payment”) shall be paid within five business days after the Execution Date of this Contract (the date when these funds are received being the “Effective Date”);

b. a second payment of 30% of the Sales Price shall be due and payable within 75 days of the Execution Date of this Contract and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds;

c. a final payment of 30% of the Sales Price shall be due and payable immediately prior to delivery Ex-Works (Incoterms 2000) Seller’s Houston, Texas facility or any other facility designated by Seller (“EXW”) and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and

d. all payments are to be tendered in U.S. Dollars($) on or before 5:00 p.m., Central Standard Time (U.S.) on the date due in the form of cleared funds at the bank designated by Seller with all time periods measured in calendar days.

2.3 The timely receipt of payment of Down Payment is a condition precedent to this Contract becoming effective. If Down Payment is not made and received when due, Seller may, at its sole option, terminate this Contract by delivery of written notice to Buyer.

2.4 In the event Seller’s costs increase more than 3% during

performance of this Contract due to events beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, changes in law or regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, or changes in the prices of raw materials from the date of Quote, Seller shall submit evidence of the increase and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the increased costs. Seller shall have the right to submit evidence of escalation without regard to the 3% threshold, if Buyer delays execution of this Contract or work on Rig for a total of more than 20 days in the aggregate.

2.5 Buyer and Seller agree that, in addition to the payment of the Sales Price, Buyer shall be entitled to the payment of a Contingent Bonus, calculated and payable subject to and in accordance with the terms of Annex I hereto.

3. Delivery

3.1 Date: EXW Delivery Date shall be as listed in Exhibit B (“Delivery Date”).

3.2 Risk of Loss: Risk of loss of Rig transfers to Buyer upon delivery of Rig to Buyer or Buyer’s designated carrier or other representative in accordance with the provisions of §3.3; provided, however, that title to Rig shall not pass from Seller to Buyer until the Sales Price is paid in full.

3.3 Delivery: Delivery of Rig shall be EXW, not packed for export.

3.4 Notice of Completion and Inspection: Seller shall provide Buyer with 30 days prior notice of the Rig’s expected completion date (“Completion Date”), and Buyer shall have 10 days after Completion Date (meaning the date on which Rig is ready for delivery to the carrier in disassembled form) to inspect and accept Rig or to raise objections that Rig, in whole or in part, does not meet Technical Specifications (as defined in §5.1). If Buyer fails to raise objections in writing during the inspection period, Rig is deemed accepted and delivery is deemed to have occurred. If Buyer timely raises an objection, §3.7 will apply to corrections. Buyer shall accept the scope of supply pursuant to Exhibit D.

3.5 Testing: Incorporated into Technical Specifications (as defined in §5.1) is the protocol of components testing for Rig, and Buyer shall have the right to have a representative present at any testing.

3.6 Buyer Representatives at Inspections: In the event Buyer desires to have a representative present for pre-operational testing in Seller’s plant, Buyer shall notify Seller and request that Seller notify Buyer five business days in advance of any testing. If Buyer’s representative after Seller’s delivery of prior notice of the location and time of the testing of Rig is absent during any testing, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the results of the testing.

3.7 Opportunity to Cure: In the event that Buyer timely raises objections in accordance with §3.4 that Rig does not meet Technical Specifications, Seller shall have a reasonable period of time to correct any defect, and Completion Date shall be delayed to reflect the new Completion Date, if applicable. Buyer will be entitled to inspect any correction work and to request further testing and/or further work to remedy defects as may be necessary until Rig meets Technical Specifications. Seller shall be responsible for all costs of testing and any necessary cures.

Domestic Drilling Rig Contract (DRC 04-2010)

3.8 Cancellation: Where cancellation of this Contract is for Buyer’s convenience, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all work performed (regardless of the state of completion) and shall pay to Seller (a) the net cost of all materials, transportation, insurance, and handling for which Seller has made firm contracts prior to Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s cancellation notice and which cannot be cancelled and (b) all amounts paid in settlement or termination of claims of subcontractors and suppliers and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in effecting cancellation (including all restocking charges and demobilization costs). For any parts, equipment or components for which Buyer has reimbursed Seller or funded in full through down payment, shall be transferred at Buyer’s cost for shipping and delivery as soon as reasonably possible to Buyer.

No individual or official not named on Exhibit F is authorized to execute a modification to this Contract, and the Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that no apparent authority may be relied on in modifying this Contract.

4.3 If Buyer requests and Seller agrees to a modification or change to Rig that results in a change in the Completion Date, the Parties agree to a reasonable extension of the estimated Completion Date to reflect the new expected date of completion.

6. Documentation

Seller shall produce to Buyer all required final documentation (“Documentation”) as set out in Exhibit C.

7. Packing/Shipping

7.1 Buyer shall engage a third-party contractor responsible for packing all Rig in accordance with Buyer’s requirements.

7.2 Seller shall not be responsible or liable for packaging Rig for shipment or for shipping Rig.

8. Warranty of Workmanship and Materials

8.1 New equipment manufactured by Seller is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship and to conform to the specifications contained herein for a period of 12 months from Delivery Date or 18 months from the Completion Date, whichever period expires first, provided Buyer subjects the new equipment to the operating conditions specified by Buyer when the order is placed and in accordance with Seller’s operating and maintenance instructions, if any, and storage requirements, if any. Remanufactured equipment provided by Seller is warranted for 12 months from Completion Date. THIS IS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY. If a defect in Rig appears within a designated warranty period, and Buyer has given written notice within such warranty period (or 30 days after expiration of such warranty period in the event a defect in Rig appears within 30 days of expiration of such warranty period), Seller will promptly repair or replace the part, at Seller’s option, by shipping a similar part FOB shipping point or, at Seller’s option, refund an equitable portion of the Sales Price. Seller may require the return of the defective part within 60 days of failure to a designated Seller location, transportation prepaid to establish Buyer’s claim. No allowance will be made for repairs undertaken without Seller’s prior written consent. This warranty applies only to equipment manufactured by Seller and excludes standard equipment maintenance items, hoses, and expendables. Any descriptions of equipment, drawings, specifications, and any samples, models, bulletins, or similar material, used in connection with this sale are for the sole purpose of identifying equipment and are not to be construed as an express warranty that Rig will conform to the description. Any field advisory or installation support is advisory only. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES AND NONE SHALL BE IMPLIED IN LAW OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES, DILIGENCE, AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICE. SELLER’S WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS AND PURCHASER’S REMEDIES ARE SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY AS STATED IN THIS ARTICLE 8. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty under this Article 8, whether based upon warranty, contract or tort, including negligence, will be to proceed under this warranty. All liability of Seller shall terminate 12 months from Delivery Date or 18 months from the Completion Date, whichever period expires first.

8.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of §8.1, the Warranty shall not apply to any part of Rig that:

a. has been altered or repaired by anyone other than Seller or Seller’s duly authorized representative;

b. has been used or maintained other than in accordance with Documentation;

c. has been misused or damaged due to the unreasonable use, negligence, or accident of Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity;

d. has been unreasonably used by Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity after any person or entity knew or should have known of the defect; or

e. is considered expendable in nature and expires as a result of normal wear and tear in the use of Rig.

Domestic Drilling Rig Contract (DRC 04-2010)

8.3 To the extent that Seller has received from the manufacturer thereof a warranty with term and scope similar to the warranties provided to Seller herein, and such warranties are assignable from Seller to Buyer, any portion of Rig sold to Buyer pursuant to this Contract but not manufactured by Seller is not warranted to any extent by Seller, but Seller shall assign to Buyer, without recourse, any warranties furnished to Seller by the vendors or manufacturers of that equipment to the extent any warranties are assignable by Seller. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any resulting dispute Buyer may have with any vendors or manufacturers, provided Seller shall not be obligated to incur any costs or initiate any litigation.

8.4 Seller’s liability for any breach of Warranty shall be limited to:

a. causing Rig to perform in accordance with this Contract and Technical Specifications by repairing or replacing (at Seller’s option) any defective Rig; or

b. reimbursing Buyer for the cost of repair or replacement in accordance with the provisions of §8.6.

8.5 If Seller advises Buyer that Seller is able to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or owner/operator is obligated to allow the warranty work to be performed by Seller at Seller’s cost. In the event Seller determines that the repair or replacement is not a valid warranty claim, Buyer or owner/operator shall be charged for the parts, labor, and other trip expenses, including per diem rates where applicable, at Seller’s then current published rates, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the warranty determination in accordance with Article 11.

8.6 In the event Seller advises Buyer or the owner/operator that Seller is unable to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or owner/operator may elect to cause the necessary warranty repairs or replacements to be made by a third party. In this event, Seller’s sole obligation shall be to reimburse Buyer for the reasonable costs incurred by Buyer for the repairs or replacements. If Buyer elects to proceed under the provisions of this §8.6, Buyer shall, as soon as possible (but in any event prior to the commencement of the repairs or replacements), notify Seller of the time, place, and estimated cost of the repairs or replacements. Seller shall have the right to verify, at its sole cost and expense, by its own representative, the nature and extent of the defects complained of prior to the time that the repairs or replacements are made, and if, in fact, no breach of the warranty has occurred, Buyer shall pay to Seller a per diem fee equal to Seller’s then current labor rate schedule and the reasonable expenses incurred by the representative, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the warranty determination in accordance with Article 11. Seller does not warrant the work of others who conduct repairs or replacements.

8.7 The remedies provided above for breach of the warranty are exclusive. In no event shall the obligation of Seller to repair or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of repairing or replacing) defective parts be construed to require Seller to repair or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of repairing or replacing) more than the original purchase price of the part that is found to be defective. Rig, as a whole,

shall not be construed to be a “part” for the purposes of the preceding sentence and this Contract.

8.8 Seller shall have no obligation or liability for any breach of the warranty unless (a) the date of discovery of the defect or failure of Rig to perform in accordance with this Contract or Technical Specifications was prior to the expiration of the designated warranty period set forth in §8.1 and (b) Buyer shall have provided Seller with written notice of the defect or failure within 30 days of discovery.

8.9 Buyer represents that it reviewed Technical Specifications and is satisfied that Rig meets its operating requirements.

8.10 Seller offers no warranties for structural design or operating performance of Rig manufactured pursuant to drawings, designs, or specifications of Buyer or a third party acting for Buyer.

8.11 Seller may subcontract all orders.

9. Limitations of Liability

9.1 Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable for any special, indirect, speculative or consequential damages of any type or character (including, but not limited to, loss of profit, use, or production) arising from or related in any way to this Contract or its performance.

9.2 To the full extent of applicable law and not specifically found elsewhere in this Contract, Seller’s total liability, in the aggregate, to Buyer or any entity claiming by, through, or under Buyer for any Claims from any cause or causes including, but not limited to, any breach of contract or warranty or negligence or strict liability shall not exceed the Sales Price of Rig provided by Seller.

Remanufactured equipment provided by Seller is warranted for 12 months from Completion Date. THIS IS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY. If a defect in Rig appears within a designated warranty period, and Buyer has given written notice within such warranty period (or 30 days after expiration of such warranty period in the event a defect in Rig appears within 30 days of expiration of such warranty period), Seller will promptly repair or replace the part, at Seller’s option, by shipping a similar part FOB shipping point or, at Seller’s option, refund an equitable portion of the Sales Price. Seller may require the return of the defective part within 60 days of failure to a designated Seller location, transportation prepaid to establish Buyer’s claim. No allowance will be made for repairs undertaken without Seller’s prior written consent. This warranty applies only to equipment manufactured by Seller and excludes standard equipment maintenance items, hoses, and expendables. Any descriptions of equipment, drawings, specifications, and any samples, models, bulletins, or similar material, used in connection with this sale are for the sole purpose of identifying equipment and are not to be construed as an express warranty that Rig will conform to the description. Any field advisory or installation support is advisory only. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES AND NONE SHALL BE IMPLIED IN LAW OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES, DILIGENCE, AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICE. SELLER’S WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS AND PURCHASER’S REMEDIES ARE SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY AS STATED IN THIS ARTICLE 8. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty under this Article 8, whether based upon warranty, contract or tort, including negligence, will be to proceed under this warranty. All liability of Seller shall terminate 12 months from Delivery Date or 18 months from the Completion Date, whichever period expires first.

8.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of §8.1, the Warranty shall not apply to any part of Rig that:

a. has been altered or repaired by anyone other than Seller or Seller’s duly authorized representative;

b. has been used or maintained other than in accordance with Documentation;

c. has been misused or damaged due to the unreasonable use, negligence, or accident of Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity;

d. has been unreasonably used by Buyer, Buyer’s customer, or any other person or entity after any person or entity knew or should have known of the defect; or

e. is considered expendable in nature and expires as a result of normal wear and tear in the use of Rig.

Domestic Drilling Rig Contract (DRC 04-2010)

8.3 To the extent that Seller has received from the manufacturer thereof a warranty with term and scope similar to the warranties provided to Seller herein, and such warranties are assignable from Seller to Buyer, any portion of Rig sold to Buyer pursuant to this Contract but not manufactured by Seller is not warranted to any extent by Seller, but Seller shall assign to Buyer, without recourse, any warranties furnished to Seller by the vendors or manufacturers of that equipment to the extent any warranties are assignable by Seller. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any resulting dispute Buyer may have with any vendors or manufacturers, provided Seller shall not be obligated to incur any costs or initiate any litigation.

8.4 Seller’s liability for any breach of Warranty shall be limited to:

a. causing Rig to perform in accordance with this Contract and Technical Specifications by repairing or replacing (at Seller’s option) any defective Rig; or

b. reimbursing Buyer for the cost of repair or replacement in accordance with the provisions of §8.6.

8.5 If Seller advises Buyer that Seller is able to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or owner/operator is obligated to allow the warranty work to be performed by Seller at Seller’s cost. In the event Seller determines that the repair or replacement is not a valid warranty claim, Buyer or owner/operator shall be charged for the parts, labor, and other trip expenses, including per diem rates where applicable, at Seller’s then current published rates, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the warranty determination in accordance with Article 11.

8.6 In the event Seller advises Buyer or the owner/operator that Seller is unable to perform the warranty work, as described in §8.4, Buyer or owner/operator may elect to cause the necessary warranty repairs or replacements to be made by a third party. In this event, Seller’s sole obligation shall be to reimburse Buyer for the reasonable costs incurred by Buyer for the repairs or replacements. If Buyer elects to proceed under the provisions of this §8.6, Buyer shall, as soon as possible (but in any event prior to the commencement of the repairs or replacements), notify Seller of the time, place, and estimated cost of the repairs or replacements. Seller shall have the right to verify, at its sole cost and expense, by its own representative, the nature and extent of the defects complained of prior to the time that the repairs or replacements are made, and if, in fact, no breach of the warranty has occurred, Buyer shall pay to Seller a per diem fee equal to Seller’s then current labor rate schedule and the reasonable expenses incurred by the representative, subject to Buyer’s right to contest the warranty determination in accordance with Article 11. Seller does not warrant the work of others who conduct repairs or replacements.

8.7 The remedies provided above for breach of the warranty are exclusive. In no event shall the obligation of Seller to repair or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of repairing or replacing) defective parts be construed to require Seller to repair or replace (or to reimburse Buyer for the cost of repairing or replacing) more than the original purchase price of the part that is found to be defective. Rig, as a whole,

shall not be construed to be a “part” for the purposes of the preceding sentence and this Contract.

WHEREAS, during the Transition Period, the Company will require certain services provided by GES; and

WHEREAS, the Company is willing to provide GES (i) access to and use of a portion of the Real Estate and (ii) those certain services contemplated by this Agreement during the Transition Period; and

WHEREAS, GES is willing to provide the Company with those certain services contemplated by this Agreement during the Transition Period;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Closing Date and shall continue for a period ending on the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”), subject, however, to earlier termination in accordance with the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall have the right to extend the Transition Period for an additional ninety (90) days by (i) providing written notice to the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Transition Period or (ii) extending the term of the Lease (as defined herein) in accordance with its terms.

2. Use of the Real Estate. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and GES shall enter into a lease agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as

Exhibit A (the “Lease”), with customary terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to both Parties, pursuant to which the Company shall lease to GES one-half (1/2) of the portion of the Real Estate commonly referred to as “Building 5”, substantially all of the shop space in the portion of the Real Estate commonly referred to as “Building 3” and a portion of the Real Estate commonly referred to as the “Yard”. Subject to the terms of the Lease, the use and occupancy of the Real Estate by GES will not unreasonably interfere with or prevent the use and occupancy of the Real Estate by the Company for the purposes and in the manner that the Real Estate was previously used and occupied by GES in connection with the operation of the Business.

3. Shared Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and GES shall share certain services during the Transition Period, as further listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Shared Services”). From time to time, the Parties may mutually agree to include additional services to be shared upon mutually agreeable terms and conditions, and may amend Exhibit B accordingly.

4. Transition Services Provided by the Company. During the Transition Period, the Company shall provide GES with certain services as follows:

4.1 Company Transition Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall provide those certain Shared Services required to support the business of GES and its affiliates, Southwest Oilfield Products, Inc. and SWOP Acquisition, LLC d/b/a GES Well Servicing Systems (collectively, the “GES Post-Closing Business”), during the Transition Period in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices (collectively, the “Company Transition Services”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Company Transition Services to ensure uninterrupted continuity of the GES Post-Closing Business. Except as specifically set forth herein or as otherwise set forth in the Contribution Agreement, the Company shall have no responsibility or liability for the operation of the GES Post-Closing Business.

4.2 Performance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall provide the Company Transition Services, to the extent practicable, in the same manner in which such services were provided by GES to the GES Post-Closing Business prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that business conditions may require adjustments to the manner in which the Company provides the Company Transition Services in order to achieve continuity of the GES Post-Closing Business during the Transition Period.

4.3 Company Transition Services Involving IT System. The Company acknowledges that certain proprietary information owned by GES that is unrelated to the post-Closing operations of the Company is stored on the Company’s IT System, which is being transferred to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, including, without limitation, the engineering database of GES, the website server of GES and QSI, Traverse and AutoCAD programs and files (collectively, “GES IT”). The Company shall provide Michael Stansberry (the “GES Representative”), and certain other representatives of GES designated by the GES Representative and approved by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), with sufficient access to the Company’s IT System,

2

and provide assistance with the efforts of GES to (i) extract the GES IT, (ii) transfer the business records of GES from the Company’s IT System to the information technology system of GES and (iii) permit the GES Post-Closing Business to be conducted consistent with past practice in the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date. Nevertheless, each of GES and the Company agree that the Company’s IT System may contain sensitive or proprietary information, or may be subject to obligations of confidentiality with third Parties, in which case the Company agrees to provide access to the extent reasonably practicable without implicating or jeopardizing any of the foregoing concerns or issues. The Company reserves the right to have representatives physically present to monitor and supervise any access to the Company’s IT System. GES agrees to promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its receipt of a written invoice from the Company, reimburse Company for any out of pocket costs associated with the these efforts.

4.4 Warranty Claim Services. In addition to the Company Transition Services, the Company shall provide all services required to repair or otherwise address any and all warranty claims related to the GES Contributed Assets that arise from the Business prior to the Closing Date (“Warranty Claim Services”). The Company shall perform the Warranty Claim Services, to the extent practicable, in the same manner in which such services were provided by GES to the Business prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, GES shall reimburse the Company for any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Warranty Claim Services within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written invoice from the Company for such costs and expenses, subject to Section 6.3.

4.5 Limitation of Liability. Except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Company, the Company’s sole liability and GES’s sole remedy for any breach of the Company’s obligation to provide Company Transition Services, the Warranty Claim Services or any obligations of the Company with respect to GES IT, in each case in accordance with this Section 4, shall be for the Company to perform or re-perform such Company Transition Services at no cost to GES.

Except as specifically set forth herein or as otherwise set forth in the Contribution Agreement, GES shall have no responsibility or liability for the operation of the Business.

5.2 Performance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, GES shall provide the GES Transition Services, to the extent practicable, in the same manner in which such services were provided by GES to the Business prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that business conditions may require adjustments to the manner in which the GES provides the GES Transition Services in order to achieve continuity of the Business during the Transition Period.

5.3 Contract Management Services. To the extent that GES is unable to contribute or assign on the Closing Date any contracts or agreements that are among the GES Contributed Assets, GES shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain such contracts and agreements in the same manner as prior to the Closing Date and shall cooperate with the Company in its efforts to transfer such contracts and agreements to the Company (the “Contract Management Services”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall reimburse GES for any and all costs and expenses incurred by GES in connection with such Contract Management Services within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written invoice from GES for such costs and expenses, subject to Section 6.3.

5.4 Limitation of Liability. Except in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of GES, GES’s sole liability and the Company’s sole remedy for any breach of GES’s obligation to provide GES Transition Services in accordance with this Section 5 shall be for GES to perform or re-perform such GES Transition Services at no cost to the Company.

EXHIBIT F

Terms of the Registration Rights Agreement

1. Form of Agreement: Subject to the descriptions and other provisions summarized below, the form of the Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into by the Company with holders of GES Shares and RAC Shares (each a “Holder”) will be substantially similar to the terms of a registration rights agreement to be entered into between the Company and FBR Capital Markets & Co. (“FBR”) for the benefit of FBR and the purchasers of shares of common stock of the Company to be initially resold by FBR to qualified institutional buyers (the “144A Investors”) in the Rule 144A Offering.

2. Demand Registrations:

Number of demand registrations: Three in aggregate, one to GES and two to RAC, which may be assigned to affiliates of 4D and Lime Rock (who will become Holders for purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement) and may be exercised at any time after the first anniversary of the effective date of the shelf registration statement for the 144A Investors or initial public offering of Independence.

Intervals between demand registrations or shelf takedowns: One year unless otherwise agreed by the Company.

Registration will be deemed to be a demand registration if the registration statement becomes effective (unless it does not remain effective for at least 90 days), unless the Company fails to satisfy any underwriters’ closing conditions or all shares requested to be registered under such registration statement are not registered.

The Holder or Holders requesting registration will select the underwriters, subject to any contractual obligations the Company has under its advisory agreement with FBR.

3. Piggyback Registrations.

Holders will be entitled to an initial piggyback registration under any shelf registration statement filed on behalf of the 144A Investors, subject to any disproportionate cutback in the number of such Holders’ shares registered under such shelf registration statement in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Further piggyback registrations by the Holders will be unlimited, subject to any disproportionate cutback in the number of such Holders’ shares registered under such shelf registration statement(s) in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

The priority of any Holder in any cutback described above will be behind the Company and behind the 144A Investors for any initial public offering or other underwritten offering of the shares of the common stock of the Company.

4. Company Deferral Rights.

The Company will have the right to defer a registration or takedown of a shelf registration for up to 60 days in any 12-month period for material non-public events or if the Company is conducting or is about to conduct an offering.

5. Expenses.

The Company will pay the costs of registration, consents, “comfort letter” and any Company counsel opinions. Other expenses are Holder expenses (selling Holder’s legal expenses, any “blue sky” registration and related expenses and commissions or spreads paid to underwriters, dealers or other agents on such Holder’s shares).

6. Lockup Agreements.

Each Holder will agree to 180-day lock-up periods pursuant to the purchase/placement agent agreement between the Company and FBR.

Each Holder will agree not to effect any public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities), including under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, during the period that begins 10 days prior to and ends 60 days after any Holder registration or sale or offering by the Company.

7. Suspension of Offering.

Upon notice, each Holder will suspend its use of any prospectus/registration statement and any distribution of shares of common stock of the Company until the Company has cured any misstatement or omission.

8. Termination.

Registration rights will terminate at the earlier of (a) seven years from the closing date of the initial public offering by the Company or, (b) with respect to any Holder, the date that all registrable securities held by such Holder may be sold in a three-month period without registration pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

9. Indemnification.

The Company will agree to customary indemnities, except for information furnished by any Holder for inclusion in any registration statement or related document, in which case such Holder will indemnify the Company.
