If, at any time on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing Date, an event occurs that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Amended and Restated LPA) pursuant to Section 5.11(b)(iii)(E) of the Amended and Restated LPA or a (a) merger, consolidation, combination or other similar transaction involving DKL, (b) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Units other than changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Units or (c) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the DKL and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person, which, in each case, is consummated and results in the Common Units being converted into, exchanged for, or representing solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (a “Common Unit Change Event”), then the Conversion Price or the consideration to be paid or delivered to settle the conversion of a Convertible Preferred Unit in connection with a Common Unit Change Event will be adjusted as if the Convertible Preferred Units had been issued on the Execution Date. Any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall become effective upon the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Units taking into account the event(s) specified in this provision on a cumulative basis.

22

Section 2.5 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Estimated Adjustment Certificate. Seller shall deliver the Estimated Adjustment Statement to Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date for Buyer’s review and comment. Seller shall take into consideration such Buyer comments provided in good faith and on a timely basis with respect to the Estimated Adjustment Statement.

(b) Closing Adjustment Certificate. As promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller the Closing Adjustment Certificate. Buyer and Seller shall assist and provide to each other and their representatives, as applicable, such data, information and access to employees and advisors as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and review of the Closing Adjustment Certificate.

(c) Notice of Disagreement. The Closing Adjustment Certificate shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the date that is ninety (90) days after receipt of the Closing Adjustment Certificate by Seller, unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement (“Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount, nature and basis of any such disagreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer, then the Closing Adjustment Certificate (as revised in accordance with Section 2.5(d), if applicable) shall become final and binding on the Parties on, and the Final Settlement Date shall be, the earlier of (i) the date upon which Seller and Buyer agree in writing with respect to all matters specified in the Closing Adjustment Certificate and (ii) the date upon which the Final Adjustment Certificate is issued by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(d) Final Adjustment Certificate. During the first twenty (20) days after the date upon which Buyer receives a Notice of Disagreement, the Parties shall attempt to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If at the end of such twenty (20)-day period (or earlier by mutual agreement to arbitrate) the Parties have not reached agreement with respect to all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, the matters that remain in dispute may as promptly as reasonably possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the end of such twenty (20)-day period, thereafter be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm by either Seller or Buyer for review and resolution; provided, however, that any materials so provided to the Independent Accounting Firm shall also simultaneously be made available to the other disputing Party. The hearing date shall be scheduled by the Independent Accounting Firm as soon as reasonably practicable, and shall be conducted on a confidential basis. Seller and Buyer shall, not later than seven (7) days prior to the hearing date set by the Independent Accounting Firm, submit a brief (to include their respective calculations with regard to amounts in dispute on the Closing Adjustment Certificate) for settlement of any amounts set forth in the Notice of Disagreement that remain in dispute. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render a decision (which decision shall include a written statement of findings and conclusions, including a written explanation of its reasoning with respect

23

to such findings and conclusions) resolving the matters in dispute in accordance with this Section 2.5, and the Final Adjustment Certificate reflecting such decision, within three (3) Business Days after the conclusion of the hearing, unless the Parties reach agreement prior thereto and withdraw the dispute from arbitration. The Independent Accounting Firm shall (i) act as an independent accounting firm and not as an expert, (ii) address only those items in dispute and all determinations shall be based solely on the written presentations of Seller and Buyer and their respective Representatives, and not by independent review, and (iii) for each item, not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Buyer or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Seller or Buyer. The decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties. Judgement may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. As used in this Agreement, the term “Final Adjustment Certificate” shall mean the Closing Adjustment Certificate delivered (or deemed delivered) pursuant to Section 2.5(b), as subsequently adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) to reflect any subsequent written agreement between the Parties with respect thereto and, if submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, any amendments or modifications to the Closing Adjustment Certificate decided by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(e) The costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with resolving such disputed matters pursuant to Section 2.5(d) shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if Buyer claims the Adjustment Amount is one thousand dollars ($1,000) less than the amount determined by Seller, and Seller contests only five hundred dollars ($500) of the amount claimed by Buyer, and if the Independent Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Buyer three hundred dollars ($300) of the five hundred dollars ($500) contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Seller and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Buyer. Prior to the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of disputed matters pursuant to Section 2.5(d), (i) Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of any retainer paid to the Independent Accounting Firm and (ii) during the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, the Independent Accounting Firm will bill fifty percent (50%) of the total charges to each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand.

(f) Final Settlement and Adjustment to Purchase Price; Payment.

(i) If the Preliminary Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then Seller shall owe Buyer a shortfall payment in an amount equal to the difference between the Preliminary Purchase Price minus the Final Purchase Price (such payment, a “Shortfall Payment”, and such amount owed, the “Shortfall Payment Amount”). If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Preliminary Purchase Price, then Buyer shall owe an excess payment in an amount equal to the difference between the Final Purchase Price minus the Preliminary Purchase Price (such payment, an “Excess Payment”, and such amount owed, the “Excess Payment Amount”).

24

(ii) Any Shortfall Payment or Excess Payment, as applicable, shall be paid as follows:

(A) in the event an Excess Payment is owed, then, promptly following the determination of the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Excess Payment Amount; or

(B) in the event a Shortfall Payment is owed, then, promptly following the determination of the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall Payment Amount.

Section 2.6 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any and all Transfer Taxes imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by and shall be the responsibility of Buyer (and no such Transfer Taxes shall be included as a liability in the determination of the Preliminary Purchase Price or the Final Purchase Price). The Parties anticipate that no Transfer Taxes will be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and as such, Seller shall collect no Transfer Taxes from Buyer in connection with the Closing. To the extent any such Transfer Taxes are paid or payable by Seller, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for such Transfer Taxes, upon Buyer’s receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount of such Transfer Taxes. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns or other documentation in connection with any Transfer Taxes subject to this Section 2.6, including joining in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation to the extent required by Law.

DKL’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by DKL in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to DKL’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions. Since January 1, 2024, there have not been any material weaknesses in DKL’s internal control over financial reporting or changes in DKL’s internal control over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect DKL’s internal control over financial reporting.

Section 5.11 Financial Statements. The historical financial statements of DKL included in the DKL SEC Documents, including all related notes and schedules (the “DKL Financial Statements”): (i) comply as to form in all material respects with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act; (ii) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in partners’ equity of the entities to which such DKL Financial Statements relate, on the basis set forth therein and as of and for the periods indicated; and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X) and subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments.

Section 5.12 Valid Issuance. At the Closing, the Convertible Preferred Units constituting the Stock Consideration will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-303, 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act), and such Convertible Preferred Units will not be (a) subject to or issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or other similar rights of any Person or (b) subject to any liens, claims, encumbrances or restrictions other than (i) restrictions on transfer under applicable securities Laws and (ii) any such liens, claims, encumbrances or restrictions arising exclusively by, through or under Seller or its Affiliates. Such Convertible Preferred Units will be issued and granted in compliance in all material respects with applicable securities Laws and other applicable Laws. Upon issuance and delivery of Common Units reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Units, such Conversion Units (as defined in the Amended and Restated LPA) shall have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-303, 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act), and the issuance of the Conversion Units will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

45

Section 5.13 Capitalization.

(a) All of the issued and outstanding Common Units are duly authorized and have been validly issued in accordance with the Governing Documents, are fully paid (to the extent required under the Governing Documents of the Buyer) and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-303, 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act), and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of any Person.

(b) Except as set forth in the DKL SEC Documents filed prior to the Execution Date, there are no preemptive rights or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, subscription agreements, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate DKL to issue or sell any Interests of DKL or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquired, any Interest in DKL, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights authorized, issued or outstanding.

(c) DKL does not have any outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the rights to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the holders of Interests in DKL on any matter pursuant to such outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations.

Section 5.14 Form S-3. As of the Execution Date, DKL is eligible to register the Common Units underlying the Convertible Preferred Units constituting the Stock Consideration for resale by Seller under Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 5.15 Tax Classification. DKL is properly classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Code, and has been properly treated as such since its formation. Buyer is properly classified as an entity disregarded as separate from DKL for U.S. federal income tax purposes and has been properly treated as such since its formation.

55

(e) Each of Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, including, after the Closing, the Company Group) furnish to the other party such information as such party may reasonably request in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns or Tax Proceedings with respect to Tax matters relating to the Company Group or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including by providing access to relevant books and records and making employees of Buyer or the Company Group reasonably available to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder.

(f) In the case of any audit, examination or other proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) for which Seller is or may be liable for any Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall inform Seller in writing of such Tax Proceeding within ten (10) days after the receipt by Buyer of written notice thereof. In the event Buyer fails to timely provide Seller with written notice of such Tax Proceeding, Seller’s obligation to indemnify Buyer or its Affiliates hereunder (if any) shall be reduced to the extent of any adverse consequences arising as a result of such failure to notify. Buyer shall afford Seller, at Seller’s expense, the opportunity to control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s expense, to attend and participate in such Tax Proceeding. If Seller elects not to control the conduct of any such Tax Proceeding, Buyer shall control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding at Buyer’s expense, and Seller shall have the right (at Seller’s expense) to attend and participate in such Tax Proceeding; provided, that, Buyer shall not settle or compromise such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Seller.

(g) The Parties agree that the transactions pursuant to this Agreement shall, for federal income Tax (and related state income Tax) purposes, be reported as a transfer by Seller to DKL of the equity interests of H2O Intermediate, a 99.99% partnership interest in H2O Midstream and 100% of the assets of H2O Permian, and that a Section 754 election shall be made with respect to the transfer of the interests in H2O Midstream. The Parties further agree that such transfer of interests and assets shall be treated for federal income Tax (and related state income Tax) as (i) a taxable sale of interests and assets by Seller to DKL to the extent attributable to the Cash Consideration and any liabilities and adjustments allocable to the taxable sale under the Treasury Regulations under Section 707 of the Code and any other applicable federal income Tax

56

principles (the “Taxable Sale”) and (ii) Tax-free contributions of interests and assets by Seller to DKL in exchange for partnership interests governed by Section 721 of the Code to the extent attributable to the Stock Consideration and any liabilities and adjustments allocable to the contribution under the Treasury Regulations under Section 707 of the Code and any other applicable federal income Tax principles (the “Contribution”). The Parties will consult with each other and attempt to agree in good faith (i) which portions of the transferred interests and assets are allocable to the Taxable Sale and which are allocable to the Contribution, (ii) which liabilities and adjustments are allocable to the Taxable Sale and which are allocable to the Contribution, and (iii) the allocation of amounts treated as consideration for federal income Tax (and related state income Tax) purposes among the interests and assets transferred pursuant to the Taxable Sale and Contribution in accordance with applicable federal income Tax principles; in the event the Parties are unable to agree, any such disagreement shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.5(c) and Section 2.5(d). Each Party agrees not to assert, in connection with any Tax Return, Tax audit or similar proceeding, any position inconsistent with the allocations and determinations described in this Section 6.9(g); provided, that no Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise and/or settle any Tax audit or similar proceedings in connection therewith. Differences between the fair market value and the basis of the transferred interest and assets allocable to the Contribution shall be taken into account in the manner required by Section 704(c) of the Code. DKL will elect the remedial method of Treas. Reg. §1.704-3(d) as to all such assets. All other determinations regarding the application of Section 704(c), the determination and maintenance of capital accounts and other Tax matters relating to the Contributions and the assets allocable thereto shall be made in the discretion of DKL in a manner consistent with the Governing Documents of DKL.

Section 6.10 Insurance.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Execution Date or who becomes prior to the Closing, a member, director, officer or manager of any Company (each, a “Covered Person,” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”), may be entitled to indemnification, expense reimbursement and advancement and exculpation to the extent provided in the Governing Documents of the Company Group.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of six (6) years following Closing, unless prohibited by Law, Buyer shall cause each Company to continue to honor its respective obligations (in accordance with the terms of its respective Governing Documents in effect as of the Execution Date) with respect to the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Covered Persons arising or resulting from any actions or omissions of any such Covered Persons at or prior to the Closing (including in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents).

(c) From and after Closing, Buyer shall obtain and maintain or cause to be obtained and maintained (at Seller’s sole cost and expense, including all premiums and deductibles) a six (6)-year “tail” policy with respect to the Covered Persons as of the Execution Date hereof containing terms, benefits, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage.

57

(d) In the event Buyer or the Company Group or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or converts into any other Person or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Buyer shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Company Group, as applicable, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Employee Relations and Benefits.

(a) The individuals set forth on Section 6.11(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Resigning Employees”) have each entered into a Separation and Release Agreement as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Executive Separation Agreements”), pursuant to which they shall resign from the Company Group effective as of the Closing.

(b) At least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall identify to Seller in writing which of the employees of the Company Group identified on Section 6.11(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Identified Employees”) are to be retained by Buyer following Closing (the “Specified Continuing Employees”), and Seller shall terminate, effective as of not later than the Closing Date, all Identified Employees who are not Specified Continuing Employees (the “Terminated Employees”). The Company Group shall pay severance to each Terminated Employee in amounts as set forth on Section 6.11(b)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Specified Severance Payments”), in each case, subject to the Terminated Employee signing and not revoking a release of claims in favor of Seller, the Company, Buyer and their Affiliates in a form to be mutually agreed between Seller and Buyer, and any obligations of the Company Group that exist as of the Closing for, any compensation or other amounts payable to any Resigning or Terminated Employee, including salary, wages, hourly pay, commission, bonus, accrued vacation, severance, termination, retention or other payments and the employer portion of all associated employment or payroll taxes will, as applicable, be treated as Outstanding Seller Transaction Expenses, as included in Company Group Indebtedness Amount or as a current liability in the Adjusted Working Capital. Buyer shall comply with all applicable Laws with respect to its determinations as to which Identified Employees will be Specified Continuing Employees.

(c) For a period of not less than one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company Group to, provide each employee of a Company who is employed by a Company immediately prior to the Closing and continues in the employ of Buyer, a Company or any of their respective Affiliates following the Closing Date (“Continuing Employees”) with: (i) annual base salary or wages, that are no less than the annual base salary or wages, respectively, provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits, including severance entitlements, that are not in the aggregate less favorable to such Continuing Employee than those benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, the determination of whether any benefits are in the aggregate less favorable to such Continuing Employee than those benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date shall not take into account the treatment or payment by or on behalf of an employee of any premiums under any benefit plans). Until December 31, 2024, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company Group to, provide each Continuing Employee with bonuses that are no less than the annual bonuses provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, prorated for the calendar year for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2024.

58

(d) From and after the Closing, Buyer (i) shall give each Continuing Employee full credit for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting (but not level of benefits (other than with respect to severance and vacation or paid time off entitlements) and benefit accruals), under any employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements (excluding any defined benefit plans and equity incentive plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which such Continuing Employees are eligible to participate (“Buyer Plans”) for such Continuing Employee’s service with such Company, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by such Company, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service, and (ii) shall credit to each Continuing Employee under the applicable vacation or paid time off program of Buyer or its Affiliates for all unused vacation or other paid time off days of such Continuing Employee that accrued on or prior to the Closing Date under any vacation or paid time off program of such Company in place immediately prior to the Closing Date, and shall not take any actions that adversely affect any such Continuing Employees (or their future accrual of vacation or paid time off) as a result of such credit.

(e) Buyer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive or cause to be waived for each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of Buyer or any of its Affiliates applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable (or was previously satisfied by) to such Continuing Employee under the terms of the comparable Benefit Plan, and (ii) give or cause to be given full credit under the Buyer Plans applicable to each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents for all co-payments and deductibles under any Benefit Plan satisfied prior to the Closing in the same plan year as the Closing for purposes of any annual and lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.

(f) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.11 are included for the sole benefit of the Parties. This Agreement is not intended by the Parties to, and nothing in this Section 6.11 or otherwise in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall, (i) constitute an amendment to any Benefit Plan or any Buyer Plan or (ii) confer on any Participant or any other Person (other than the Parties) any rights or remedies (including any right to employment or other service relationship or any third party beneficiary rights).

Section 6.12 Seller Credit Support Obligations. Buyer acknowledges that none of the bonds, letters of credit and guarantees set forth on Section 6.12 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Seller Credit Support Obligations”), will be transferred to Buyer or the Company Group. At or prior to the scheduled Closing Date, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense shall deliver to Seller evidence of the posting of replacement bonds, letters of credit and guarantees to the extent such replacements are necessary to permit the cancellation of the Seller Credit Support Obligations. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liabilities arising out of, based upon, attributable to or resulting from Buyer’s failure to replace such Seller Credit Support Obligations in accordance with this Section 6.12.

59

Section 6.13 Termination of Affiliate Arrangements(a) . On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Affiliate Arrangements set forth on Section 6.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to be terminated without any further force or effect from and after the Closing. If any Affiliate Arrangements are found to exist (whether or not set forth on Section 4.25 or Section 6.13 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule), Buyer may elect to terminate such Affiliate Arrangements effective as of the Closing Date.

Section 6.14 RWI Policy. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer may elect to bind the RWI Policy. Buyer shall bear all costs related to the RWI Policy, including, without limitation, the premium, broker commission, applicable taxes, and any related fees. Should Buyer so elect to bind the RWI Policy, Buyer shall execute and cause to be executed and delivered all documents, and shall meet all other subjectivities, conditions and covenants as may be required by the RWI Insurer in connection with (a) binding coverage under the terms of the RWI Policy on the date hereof, (b) issuing the final RWI Policy, and (c) in relation to any claim made thereunder. Should Buyer so elect to bind the RWI Policy, Buyer shall cause the RWI Policy to include a provision whereby the RWI Insurer expressly waives, releases, and agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, any rights, including rights of or via subrogation, assignment, or otherwise, against each Company, Seller, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any former or current general or limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of any of the foregoing with respect to any claim made thereunder (except in the case of, and only to the extent of, Damages paid by the RWI Insurer under the RWI Policy resulted from Fraud, and in such case only against such Person who has committed such Fraud) and not against any other Person. Should Buyer so elect to bind the RWI Policy, Seller shall be identified in the RWI Policy as an express third party beneficiary of the foregoing provision with the right of enforcement. Should Buyer so elect to bind the RWI Policy, the RWI Policy, including the foregoing subrogation provision, shall not be in any way amended, modified, supplemented, terminated, waived, or otherwise revised, and no amendment, modification, supplementation, termination, waiver or revision shall be effective, without the express written consent of Seller.

Section 6.15 Seller Marks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not acquire or otherwise be entitled to, and no Company shall retain, any right, title, interest, or license in or to any of the Seller Marks or any goodwill of the business associated therewith. Buyer shall, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the “Removal Deadline”), eliminate and remove (or cause to be eliminated and removed) any and all of the Seller Marks from the Company Group’s assets and properties and Buyer shall amend the Company Group’s Governing Documents and make the necessary filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the State of Texas, as applicable, to change the legal or business name of each Company to a name that does not include “H2O” or other similar identifiers or any abbreviation, derivation or extension thereof and that is satisfactory to Seller. From and after the Removal Deadline, Buyer shall not, and Buyer shall cause its Affiliates not to, use any of the Sellers Marks in connection with the Business, the Company Group’s assets or properties or otherwise; provided, however, that from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, send or cause to be sent to any Person any correspondence or other materials containing any of the Seller Marks.

60

Section 6.16 Financial Cooperation. For the avoidance of doubt, during the Interim Period and until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1), subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.16, Seller shall (and shall cause the Company Group during the Interim Period to) provide such reasonable cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in writing with respect to preparation, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, of such financial information other than the Financial Statements in such form and for such periods as may be reasonably requested by Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent requested by Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, auditor reviewed consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, equityholders’ equity and cash flows for the respective period then-ended of Seller and its Subsidiaries (including the Company Group) for the period beginning on January 1, 2024 through the Closing Date and in all cases also presenting the corresponding year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for the comparative periods in 2023, and all of which current and prior year interim periods’ unaudited consolidated financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Principles and shall be reviewed pursuant to AICPA standards.

Section 6.17 Casualty Loss. If, during the Interim Period, any Property of a Company is damaged by one or more Events of Loss or is taken by a Governmental Authority by exercise of the power of eminent domain, (each, a “Taking”), then the following provisions of this Section 6.17 shall apply:

(a) Following the occurrence of (i) one or more Events of Loss, if the aggregate costs to restore, repair or replace the Properties of a Company subject to all Events of Loss to a condition reasonably comparable in all material respects to their condition as of the Execution Date, such amount pursuant to this clause (i) to be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties, or, absent such agreement, by an independent third party appraiser or other qualified expert selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer (collectively, “Restoration Costs”) or (ii) any Taking, if the value of the property subject to all Takings, less any condemnation award received by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company Group), such amount pursuant to this clause (ii) to be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties, or, absent such agreement, by an independent third party appraiser or other qualified expert selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer (collectively, the “Condemnation Value”), is, in the aggregate, less than or equal to an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Base Purchase Price, there shall be no effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including for purposes of the Closing conditions and the termination provisions in this Agreement, except that, at Closing, if not otherwise previously paid over or assigned to the affected Company, Seller shall (A) pay or cause to be paid to the affected Company all sums received by Seller or any of its Affiliates as of the Closing Date from third parties in respect of all such Events of Loss or Takings, including property damage insurance proceeds (net of any such amounts expended by Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing in furtherance of completing any related repair, restoration or replacement) or condemnation awards and (B) assign, transfer and set over unto such affected member all of the right, title and interest of Seller or any of its Affiliates in and to any claims against, or unpaid proceeds or other payments from, third parties in respect of such Events of Loss or Takings.

61

(b) Subject to Buyer’s termination right set forth in Section 6.17(d), upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Loss or Takings involving aggregate Restoration Costs and a Condemnation Value in excess of an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Base Purchase Price (a “Major Loss”), Seller shall have, in the case of a Major Loss relating solely to one or more Events of Loss, the option, exercised by notice to Buyer, to restore, repair or replace the Property prior to the Closing to a condition reasonably comparable in all material respect to their condition as of the Execution Date. If Seller elects to so restore, repair or replace such Properties relating to a Major Loss, which election shall be made by notice to Buyer prior to the Closing Date and as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such Major Loss, Seller shall complete or cause to be completed prior to the Closing, as a condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing, the repair, replacement or restoration of the damaged Property to a condition reasonably comparable in all material respects to their condition as of the Execution Date, and the Closing Date and the Termination Date shall be postponed for a period not in excess of ninety (90) days until the amount of time reasonably necessary to enable Seller to complete the restoration, repair or replacement of such Property as reasonably agreed between the Parties has elapsed. If Seller elects not to restore, repair or replace the property or assets affected by a Major Loss, or such Major Loss is the result, in whole or in part, of one or more Takings, or is otherwise not capable of being restored, repaired or replaced, the provisions of Section 6.17(c) shall apply.

(c) Subject to Buyer’s termination right set forth in Section 6.17(d), in the event that (i) Seller elects not to restore, repair or replace such assets or properties relating to a Major Loss, (ii) Seller, having elected to repair, replace or restore such Properties, fails to cause such repair, replacement or restoration to be completed within the period of time agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to or as otherwise required by Section 6.17(d), (iii) a Major Loss occurs that is not otherwise capable of being restored, repaired or replaced, then, in each case, the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such event, adjust the Base Purchase Price by the aggregate Restoration Cost or Condemnation Value related thereto, less the costs of any amounts expended by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing which were meaningful to repair, replace or restore such assets or property, and proceed to the Closing.

(d) In the event that the aggregate Restoration Costs or Condemnation Value, as applicable, with respect to all Events of Loss or Takings equals an amount in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price, then each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party not later than ten (10) Business Days after the determination of such Restoration Costs or Condemnation Value. If neither Party timely elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Restoration Costs or Condemnation Value, as applicable, and the Parties shall proceed to the Closing.

(f) by Seller (i) by giving written notice to Buyer (A) if all the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied or waived (other than any such conditions which by their terms are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing Date) and (B) Buyer does not consummate the Closing when the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3 and (ii) such failure to consummate the Closing is not cured within five (5) Business Days of the date the Closing is required to occur.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. Except in the event of Fraud, in the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability on the part of either Party or its Affiliates in respect thereof, except that provisions of, and the obligations of Buyer and Seller under Section 6.3(d), Section 6.3(e), Section 6.6, Section 6.7, Section 8.1, Article VIII, this Article IX and Article X of this Agreement, and any of the defined terms to the extent used therein, and the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a) if Seller has a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(f), then Seller shall be entitled to (i) terminate this Agreement or (ii) seek specific performance in accordance with Section 8.1. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), then Seller and Buyer shall promptly deliver a joint instruction letter to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the Deposit to Seller, together with any accrued interest thereon, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that in such circumstance, (A) the amount of the Deposit represents the Parties’ reasonable estimate of Seller’s actual damages and the extent of the actual damages is difficult and impracticable to ascertain, (B) the payment of the Deposit as liquidated damages is reasonable and does not constitute a penalty, and (C) the payment of the Deposit shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates against Buyer or any of its Non-Party Affiliates in lieu of any other damages or remedies available at Law or in equity, including any right of specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 8.1. The Parties acknowledge and agree that such Non-Party Affiliates are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.2. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit Seller from first seeking specific performance, but thereafter terminating this Agreement and exercising the right to instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Deposit to Seller in lieu of fully prosecuting its claim for specific performance;

67

(b) if Buyer has a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c), then Buyer shall be entitled to (i) terminate this Agreement or (ii) seek specific performance in accordance with Section 8.1. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i), then Seller and Buyer shall promptly deliver a joint instruction letter to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the Deposit to Buyer, together with any accrued interest thereon, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that in such circumstance Buyer shall have the right to seek actual damages against Seller up to the amount of the Deposit, and all other remedies are hereby expressly waived by Buyer. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit Buyer from first seeking specific performance, but thereafter terminating this Agreement and exercising its right to recover (in addition to a return of its Deposit) the costs to which it is entitled above; and

(c) if this Agreement is terminated other than as set forth in clause (a) or (b) above, then Seller and Buyer shall promptly deliver a joint instruction letter to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the Deposit to Buyer, together with any accrued interest thereon, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that in such circumstance, (A) the amount of the Deposit represents the Parties’ reasonable estimate of Buyer’s actual damages and the extent of the actual damages is difficult and impracticable to ascertain, (B) the return of the Deposit as liquidated damages is reasonable and does not constitute a penalty and (C) the return of the Deposit shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer in lieu of any other damages or remedies available at Law or in equity, including any right of specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 8.1 (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if Buyer makes a claim for specific performance of this Agreement and the Closing does not subsequently occur, then the Parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Deposit to Buyer as set forth in this Section 9.2).

No waiver by any of the Parties of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

Section 10.6 Headings. The table of contents and section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

Section 10.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and the Exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior understandings, negotiations, agreements, or representations among the Parties of any nature, whether written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof.

Section 10.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, all other provisions of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such

70

determination that any provision, or the application of any such provision, is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

Other than pursuant to and to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents, all claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in equity or at Law, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto in the preamble to this Agreement or, in the case of each other Transaction Document, the Persons that are expressly identified as parties thereto (the “Contracting Parties”). Other than pursuant to and to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents, no Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any past, present or future Representative, incorporator, equityholder or Affiliate of such Contracting Party or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (in each case, except a Contracting Party) (the “Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in equity or at Law, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, as applicable, or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction

71

Documents in the negotiation, execution, performance, or breach thereof; and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, other than pursuant to and to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents, (a) each Contracting Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available in equity or at Law, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Non-Party Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party irrevocably and unconditionally disclaims any reliance upon any Non-Party Affiliates with respect to the performance of any of the Transaction Documents or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to any of the Transaction Documents.

Section 10.12 No Survival. None of the representations and warranties of any party contained in this Agreement (including any certificates to be delivered under Article VII of this Agreement) shall survive the Closing. None of the covenants or obligations of any party to this Agreement required to be performed by such party at or before the Closing shall survive the Closing; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations hereunder to make payments at or in connection with the Closing shall survive until performed in accordance with their terms. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement which by their terms are required to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until they have been performed or satisfied.

Section 10.13 Legal Representation.

(a) It is acknowledged by each of the Parties that the Company Group and Seller have retained Latham & Watkins LLP (“Seller’s Counsel”) to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that Seller’s Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that Buyer hereby waives any conflict of interest as a result thereof. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that, in the event that any dispute, or any other matter in which the interests of Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group), on the other hand, are adverse, arises after the Closing between Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group), on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, Seller’s Counsel may represent any or all of Seller and its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of Seller and its Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Company Group, and even though Seller’s Counsel formerly may have represented the Company Group in any matter substantially related to such dispute.

(b) Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates, including following the Closing with respect to the Company Group, acknowledge and agree that, in connection with any future Actions or other matters, including any dispute between Buyer, the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, or with or between any other Persons, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise, (i) as to all communications among Seller’s Counsel, the Company

72

Group, Seller or any of its Affiliates, the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection and the expectation of client confidence belongs solely to Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), and may be controlled by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group), and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Company Group, or any of their respective Affiliates and (ii) Seller’s Counsel may disclose to Seller or its Affiliates any information learned by Seller’s Counsel in the course of its representation of Seller, the Company Group or their respective Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, of Seller’s Counsel’s duty of confidentiality. Accordingly, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Seller’s Counsel, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (A) to the extent that files of Seller’s Counsel constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (B) Seller’s Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Buyer or the Company Group by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller’s Counsel and the Company Group or otherwise.

(c) If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company Group) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between the Company Group or their Affiliates and any Person representing them that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Company Group), shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the consent of Seller.

Section 10.14 Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict or choice of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 10.15 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware, or in the case of claims to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware, and, in each case, appellate courts therefrom) for the purposes of any suit, Action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and irrevocably agrees not to commence any Action, suit or proceeding relating hereto except in such courts). Each of the Parties further irrevocably agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 10.3 shall be effective service of process for any Action, suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (x) state courts of the State of Delaware or (y) the United States District Court for the District of the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction or in any other manner provided in law or in equity.

73

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section 10.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of original, PDF or facsimile counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any agreement or certificate delivered pursuant hereto, or any amendment thereof, is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature will create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No Party will raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver any such signature page or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each Party forever waives any such defense.

Section 10.17 No Reliance.

(a) BUYER HAS RELIED SOLELY ON ITS OWN LEGAL, TAX AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS FOR ITS EVALUATION OF ITS INVESTMENT DECISION TO PURCHASE THE COMPANY GROUP INTERESTS AND TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND NOT ON THE ADVICE OF SELLER, ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ITS OR THEIR LEGAL, TAX OR FINANCIAL ADVISERS.

(b) BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, EQUITYHOLDERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (I) NONE OF SELLER OR THE COMPANY GROUP, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, OR ANY OTHER PERSON, HAS MADE, OR IS MAKING, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BEYOND THOSE EXPRESSLY GIVEN BY SELLER IN ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV AND THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3(D) (IN EACH CASE, AS QUALIFIED BY THE SELLER DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE), INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR TRADE AS TO ANY OF THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY GROUP, (II) NONE OF BUYER, ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AND ANY OF ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, EQUITYHOLDERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, HAS RELIED ON OR IS RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR STATEMENT OF ANY KIND BY SELLER OR THE COMPANY GROUP, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, OR ANY OTHER PERSON, BEYOND THOSE EXPRESSLY GIVEN BY SELLER IN ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV AND THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3(D) (IN EACH CASE, AS QUALIFIED BY THE SELLER DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE), INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR TRADE AS TO ANY OF THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY GROUP, AND (III) EACH OF SELLER, THE COMPANY GROUP, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES HAVE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED AND DO HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY ANY PERSON, BEYOND THOSE EXPRESSLY GIVEN BY SELLER IN ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV AND THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3(D) (IN EACH CASE, AS QUALIFIED BY THE SELLER DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE).

75

SELLER OR THE COMPANY GROUP, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, AND, EXCEPT FOR THOSE EXPRESSLY GIVEN BY SELLER IN ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV AND THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3(D) (IN EACH CASE, AS QUALIFIED BY THE SELLER DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE), NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IS MADE AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ANY INVENTORY, EQUIPMENT, VEHICLES, ASSETS, PROPERTIES AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY GROUP ARE FURNISHED “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” AND, SUBJECT ONLY TO THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV AND THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3(D) (IN EACH CASE, AS QUALIFIED BY THE SELLER DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE), WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER.

Section 10.18 Guaranty.

(a) DKL hereby guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (i) the full, complete and prompt payment of all amounts payable by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement (including the Cash Consideration at Closing to Seller) and (ii) the issuance and delivery of the Stock Consideration at Closing to Seller (such obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). DKL’s liability hereunder, including the Guaranteed Obligations, is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing and shall not be impaired, released or discharged irrespective of any rescission, compromise, modification, amendment or waiver of or any departure from this Agreement, or any or all of the documents entered into in connection therewith. The guarantee in this Section 10.18 is an unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection. DKL hereby waives (A) notice of acceptance of the guarantee in this Section 10.18, (B) presentment and demand of the Guaranteed Obligations and (C) any right to require that any action be brought against Buyer or any other Person prior to any action against DKL pursuant to the guarantee in this Section 10.18. To the extent that Buyer is relieved from all or any portion of its payment obligations under this Agreement, DKL shall be similarly relieved, to such extent, from its obligations pursuant to this Section 10.18. The provisions of this Section 10.18 are subject to DKL’s right to assert any defense that could be asserted by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, DKL’s aggregate liability in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (I) the Base Purchase Price plus (II) the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate.

(b) DKL represents and warrants that: (i) DKL is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware; (ii) DKL has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to perform the obligations contemplated by this Section 10.18; (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by DKL of this Agreement and the obligations by DKL contemplated by this Section 10.18 have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite action on the part of DKL, and no other proceedings on its part are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement; (iv) the guarantee in this Section 10.18 constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of DKL, enforceable against DKL in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.18, except as such validity, binding effect or enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other

76

similar Laws and general equitable principles; and (v) DKL has uncalled capital commitments or otherwise has available funds in excess of DKL’s obligations under this Agreement enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar Laws and general equitable principles. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.2, DKL’s obligations under this Section 10.18 shall not be assignable to any other Person without the prior written consent of Seller, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

(c) DKL’s obligations under this Section 10.18 shall survive until the date that is ten (10) Business Days after determination of the Adjustment Amount set forth on the Final Adjustment Certificate.
