Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed by Basic Energy Services, Inc. (“Basic” or the “Company”) on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 25, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively with Basic, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions,” and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) on October 25, 2016 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Basic Energy Services, Inc., et al. (Case No. 16-12320 (KJC)). The Debtors continue to operate as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Confirmation of Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan

On December 9, 2016, the Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) approving the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (as amended and supplemented, the “Prepackaged Plan”). The Debtors anticipate emerging from Chapter 11 Cases on the date (the “Effective Date”) when all remaining conditions to effectiveness to the Prepackaged Plan are satisfied. Currently, the Debtors expect all conditions precedent to the Prepackaged Plan to have been satisfied on or around December 23, 2016, but the Debtors can make no assurances as to when or whether the Prepackaged Plan will become effective.

Summary of the Prepackaged Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Prepackaged Plan. This summary highlights only certain substantive provisions of the Prepackaged Plan and is not intended to be a complete description of the Prepackaged Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Prepackaged Plan and the Confirmation Order, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1 respectively, and incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the meanings set forth in the Prepackaged Plan.

Under the Prepackaged Plan:

The existing shares of Basic will be cancelled, and reorganized Basic will issue (i) new common shares (the “New Common Shares”) and (ii) seven (7) year warrants (the “Warrants”) entitling their holders upon exercise thereof, on a pro rata basis, to 6% of the total outstanding New Common Shares at a per share price based upon a total equity value of $1,789,000,000 of the reorganized Company (assuming the maximum conversion amounts of the New Convertible Notes (as defined below)), which New Common Shares and Warrants will be distributed as set forth below;

The Company completed a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), which was open to participation by eligible holders of the Company’s 2019 Notes and 2022 Notes and backstopped by certain supporting holders of Unsecured Notes, of the Company’s 9% PIK interest unsecured notes due 2019 in the aggregate principal amount of $131,250,000 (the “New Convertible Notes”), mandatorily convertible within 36 months or sooner





upon the occurrence of certain events, and it is expected that the New Convertible Notes will be deemed converted into equity of Basic on the Effective Date;

The Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2014, as amended (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) will be amended and restated;

The Company’s Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2016, as amended (the “Term Loan Agreement”), will be amended and restated on substantially similar terms, subject to certain agreed upon changes set forth in the Prepackaged Plan, and the lenders under the Term Loan Agreement have agreed under the Prepackaged Plan to waive payment of the Applicable Premium (as such term is defined in the Term Loan Agreement) triggered by the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions;

The Unsecured Notes will be cancelled and discharged and the holders of those Unsecured Notes will receive New Common Shares representing, in the aggregate, 99.5% of the New Common Shares issued on the Effective Date pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, and which upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes (assuming the deemed conversion occurs on the Effective Date) will comprise 57.79% of the total outstanding New Common Shares on the Effective Date (in each case subject to dilution by awards under the Management Incentive Plan and the New Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants). Eligible holders of Unsecured Notes will also receive 100% of the subscription rights to acquire $125,000,000 in New Convertible Notes in accordance with Rights Offering Procedures;

Each holder of existing equity interests in the Company will receive its pro rata share of (i) New Common Shares representing, in the aggregate, 0.5% of the New Common Shares issued on the Effective Date pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, and which upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes (assuming the deemed conversion occurs on the Effective Date) will comprise 0.29% of the total outstanding New Common Shares on the Effective Date (in each case subject to dilution by awards under the Management Incentive Plan and the New Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) and (ii) the Warrants; and

Holders of allowed claims arising under the Company’s DIP Facility, administrative expense claims, priority tax claims, other priority claims, other secured claims and general unsecured creditors of the Company will receive in exchange for their claims payment in full in cash or otherwise have their rights unimpaired under the Bankruptcy Code.
    
Share Information

As of November 9, 2016, the Company had 43,500,032 shares of common stock issued and 42,757,644 shares outstanding. By operation of the Prepackaged Plan, on the Effective Date, all shares of the Company’s common stock will be cancelled and will permanently cease to exist, and the New Common Shares will be issued as set forth in the Prepackaged Plan.

On the Effective Date, the Company expects to issue (i) 14,925,000 New Common Shares to holders of the Unsecured Notes, (ii) 75,000 New Common Shares to existing stockholders of Basic as of the Effective Date and (iii) assuming a deemed





conversion of the New Convertible Notes on the Effective Date, 10,825,802 New Common Shares for the anticipated deemed conversion of the New Convertible Notes. The Company expects to reserve an additional (i) 2,066,598 New Common Shares for issuance upon the potential exercise of the Warrants and (ii) 3,237,671 New Common Shares for issuance under the Management Incentive Plan. On a fully diluted basis, assuming conversion of the New Convertibles Notes and exercise of all interests expected to be issued on or after the Effective Date pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, the Company would have an aggregate of 31,130,071 New Common Shares issued and outstanding. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, which is expected to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or prior to the Effective Date, authorizes 85,000,000 New Common Shares, of which 80,000,000 shall be common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shall be preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

The share amounts and percentages above assume that the Company timely receives the Conversion Notice (as defined in the Prepackaged Plan) from the requisite parties otherwise entitled to receive a majority in aggregate principal amount of the New Convertible Notes, requesting the conversion of the New Convertible Notes on the Effective Date of the Prepackaged Plan. If the New Convertible Notes were not deemed converted on the Effective Date, the maximum number of shares of New Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes (including future PIK) would be 14,139,038 shares, and the fully diluted share amounts and percentages above on the Effective Date would be adjusted accordingly.

Assets and Liabilities

As of October 31, 2016, the Debtors’ total assets were approximately $1,006,058,000 and total liabilities were approximately $1,182,964,000. This financial information has not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and may be subject to future reconciliation or adjustments. This information should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Post-Emergence Governance and Management

On the Effective Date, a new board of directors of the Company (the “New Board”) will take office. The Company’s New Board will initially consist of seven members, at least five (5) of whom shall be designated prior to the Effective Date. Roe Patterson, who is the Chief Executive Officer and an existing director of the Company, shall be one of the five directors. The other directors shall be designated as follows: one (1) by Ascribe Capital LLC; one (1) by Silver Point Capital, L.P.; and four (4) by the Ad Hoc Group; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any initial director of the reorganized Company who has not been designated as of the Effective Date shall be designated by Ascribe Capital LLC and Silver Point Capital, L.P.. The nomination of the initial Chairperson of the Company will be satisfactory to the Ad Hoc Group in its sole discretion in good faith consultation with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Other than Mr. Patterson, the current directors of the Company shall be deemed to have resigned or shall otherwise cease to be a director of the Company on the Effective Date.

Management Incentive Plan

In connection with the Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) adopted in connection with the Prepackaged Plan, the Company expects the New Board to issue initial equity awards under the MIP on the Effective Date or within 90 days





thereafter. The MIP will provide for equity or equity-linked instruments providing for an aggregate of up to 3,237,671 New Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Prepackaged Plan.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 9, 2016, Basic issued a press release announcing the Confirmation Order, as described above in Item 1.03. A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is not subject to the liabilities of that section and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing of Basic’s under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company cautions that trading in its securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. As discussed above, the Prepackaged Plan has been approved by the Court, and pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, the Company’s common stock, as well as all unexercised options, warrants or rights to acquire or receive an equity interest in the Company, in each case, outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the Prepackaged Plan, will be cancelled and cease to exist on the Effective Date, and the holders of the Company’s common stock will receive only the pro rata portion of New Common Shares as set forth in the Prepackaged Plan. Even though the Company’s common stock continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), under the Prepackaged Plan, its underlying value may be significantly less than the current trading price on the NYSE, and the Company’s stockholders should not view the trading activity of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE or any other market or trading platform as being indicative of any value they would receive in respect of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things, the risk factors discussed in this Current Report and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in other reports filed from time to time by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), most of which are beyond our control. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “indicate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this Current Report are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are based upon reasonable assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Current Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.






These forward-looking statements relate, in part, to (i) the ability to satisfy the conditions necessary to declare the Prepackaged Plan effective in the anticipated timeframe, (ii) changes in demand for our services and any related material impact on our pricing and utilizations rates, (iii) Basic's ability to execute, manage and integrate acquisitions successfully, (iv) changes in our expenses, including labor or fuel costs and financing costs, (v) continued volatility of oil or natural gas prices, and any related changes in expenditures by our customers, (vi) competition within our industry, (vii) Basic’s ability to comply with its financial and other covenants and metrics in its debt agreements, as well as any cross-default provisions, (viii) the length of time the Debtors will operate under the Chapter 11 Cases, (ix) risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, which may interfere with the Debtors’ ability to develop and consummate the Prepackaged Plan, (x) the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Debtors’ liquidity, results of operations or business prospects, (xi) the ability to execute the requirements of the Prepackaged Plan subsequent to its effective date and (xii) increased legal and advisor costs related to the Chapter 11 Cases and other litigation and the inherent risks involved in a bankruptcy process. Additional important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations are disclosed in Item 1A of Basic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and subsequent Form 10-Qs filed with the SEC. While Basic makes these statements and projections in good faith, neither Basic nor its management can guarantee that anticipated future results will be achieved. Basic assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by Basic, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

In addition, such section 1145 exempt







Securities generally may be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states.

6.15      Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.
(a)      Powers of Disbursing Agent.

reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors.
6.16      Withholding and Reporting Requirements.
In connection with this Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith and distributed thereon, the Reorganized Debtors and any other distributing party shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state or local taxing authority, and all Plan Distributions under this Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements.  In the case of a non-Cash Plan Distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may request a holder of an Allowed Claim or Existing Equity Interest to complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable to each such holder. If such Form is requested and not submitted to the distributing party within 10 days of the request, the distributing party may, in its discretion, either (i) withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax, or (ii) require the intended recipient of such distribution to provide the withholding agent with an amount of Cash sufficient to satisfy such withholding tax as a condition to receiving such distribution. If such Form is requested and submitted to the distributing party within 10 days of the request, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax; provided that, the distributing party shall first notify the intended recipient of such contemplated sale and offer the intended recipient the opportunity to provide sufficient Cash to satisfy such withholding tax in lieu of such sale.  The distributing party shall have the right, but not the obligation, not to make a Plan Distribution until its withholding obligation is satisfied pursuant to the preceding sentences.  If an intended recipient of a non-Cash Plan Distribution is required to provide or has agreed to provide the withholding agent with the Cash necessary to satisfy the withholding tax pursuant to this section and such person fails to comply before the date that is one year after the request is made, the amount of such Plan Distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor and any Claim in respect of such Plan Distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against such Reorganized Debtor or its respective property.  Any amounts withheld pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of this Plan.  The distributing party may require a holder of an Allowed Claim or Existing Equity Interest to complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable to each such holder. 
Notwithstanding the above, each holder of an Allowed Claim or Existing Equity Interest that is to receive a Plan Distribution under this Plan shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income, withholding, and other tax obligations, on account of such Plan Distribution.

Any New Common Shares to be distributed under this Plan to an entity required to file a premerger notification and report form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust







Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall not be distributed until the notification and waiting periods applicable under such Act to such entity have expired or been terminated.
ARTICLE VII.
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CLAIMS.
7.1      Disputed Claims Process.
Notwithstanding section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise set forth in this Plan, holders of Claims need not file proofs of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court, and the Reorganized Debtors and holders of Claims shall determine, adjudicate, and resolve any disputes over the validity and amounts of such Claims in the ordinary course of business as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced. The holders of Claims shall not be subject to any claims resolution process in the Bankruptcy Court in connection with their Claims and shall retain all their rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law to pursue their Claims against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in any forum with jurisdiction over the parties. Except for (i) proofs of Claim asserting damages arising out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Plan and (ii) proofs of Claim that have been objected to by the Debtors before the Effective Date, upon the Effective Date, any filed Claim, regardless of the time of filing, and including Claims filed after the Effective Date, shall be deemed withdrawn. To the extent not otherwise provided in this Plan, the deemed withdrawal of a proof of Claim is without prejudice to such claimant’s rights under this Section 7.1 of this Plan to assert its Claims in any forum as though the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may satisfy, dispute, settle, or otherwise compromise any Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
7.2      Estimation of Claims.
The Reorganized Debtors may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether the Debtors had previously objected to or otherwise disputed such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Reorganized Debtors may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim.
7.3      Claim Resolution Procedures Cumulative.







All of the objection, estimation, and resolution procedures in this Plan are intended to be cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently settled, compromised, withdrawn, or resolved in accordance with this Plan by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
7.4      No Distributions Pending Allowance.
If an objection, motion to estimate, or other challenge to a Claim is filed, no payment or distribution provided under this Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until (and only to the extent that) such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
7.5      Distributions after Allowance.
To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. As soon as practicable after the date on which the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim unless required by the Bankruptcy Code.
ARTICLE VIII.
EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES.
8.1      General Treatment.
As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and the payment of any applicable Cure Amount, all executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be deemed assumed, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, (iii) is the subject of a motion to reject filed by the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) is specifically designated as a contract or lease to be rejected on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of the assumptions or rejections provided for in this Plan pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each executory contract and unexpired lease assumed pursuant to this Plan shall vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of this Plan, any Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.
8.2      Determination of Cure Disputes and Deemed Consent.
Any monetary amounts by which any executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed hereunder is in default shall be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, upon assumption thereof. Following the Petition Date, the Debtors shall have served a notice on parties to executory







contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed reflecting the Debtors’ intention to assume the contract or lease in connection with this Plan and setting forth the proposed Cure Amount (if any). If a counterparty to any executory contract or unexpired lease that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable intend to assume does not receive such a notice, the proposed Cure Amount for such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be deemed to be zero dollars ($0).

For the avoidance of doubt, the amendments to the Employment Agreements described in this Section 8.6 shall amend the Employment Agreements only as expressly provided herein and all other terms of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.   The Debtors are authorized to take such actions with respect to the Employment Agreements.
8.7      Insurance Policies.

(a) a minimum liquidity covenant level of $25 million;
(b) amended definitions of “Availability”, “Liquidity” and “Maximum Capital Payment Amount” that will be amended by replacing such definitions in the Term Loan Agreement in their entirety with the following:
““ Availability ” means, at any time, the amount available to be drawn under the ABL Credit Agreement at such time; provided that any amount available to be drawn under a Non-Conforming ABL Credit Agreement shall not be included in Availability to the extent in excess of the amount that would be available to be drawn under a Conforming ABL Credit Agreement.”
““ Liquidity ” means, as of any date of determination, the sum of (i) all unrestricted cash balances and Cash Equivalents of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and (ii) Availability; provided that (i) 100% of all equity proceeds, including proceeds received by the Debtors in connection with the Rights Offering shall be included in Liquidity and (ii) the proceeds of any indebtedness under a Non-Conforming ABL Credit Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt any such indebtedness resulting from a refinancing of the existing ABL Credit Agreement that constitutes a Non-Conforming ABL Credit Agreement) shall be excluded to the extent such proceeds are attributable to amounts available to be drawn under such Non-Conforming ABL Credit Agreement that are in excess of the amount that would be available to be drawn under a Conforming ABL Credit Agreement.”
““ Maximum Capital Payment Amount ” means, for each fiscal quarter, an aggregate amount equal to (i) if Liquidity as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than $50,000,000, $25,000,000 plus the Roll Forward Increase, and (ii) if Liquidity as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter is less than or equal to $50,000,000, $20,000,000; provided , that amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above may be increased by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion upon written request by the Borrower, which request shall include revenue and margin projections for new equipment, if any; provided , however , for the period of time beginning with and including the Closing Date and ending with and including December 31, 2016, the Maximum Capital Payment Amount shall be equal to (i) $25,000,000 multiplied by (ii) (x) the number of days from and including the Closing Date through and including December 31, 2016 divided by (y) 90.”;
(c) new definitions of “Capital Payment Credit”, “Conforming ABL Credit Agreement”, “Non-Conforming ABL Credit Agreement” and “Roll Forward Increase” will be included in the Term Loan Agreement as follows:

1





““ Capital Payment Credit ” means, with respect to any fiscal quarter, the lesser of (i) $15,000,000 and (ii) the amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Maximum Capital Payment Amount during such fiscal quarter over the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures actually made and Capital Lease payments actually paid during such fiscal quarter.”
““ Conforming ABL Credit Agreement ” means an ABL Credit Agreement that is not a Non-Conforming ABL Credit Agreement.”
““ Non-Conforming ABL Credit Agreement ” means an ABL Credit Agreement that (i) contains a borrowing base that includes (A) an advance rate of higher than 85% for eligible accounts receivable or (B) any other type of assets of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries that are not included in the Borrowing Base (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, without giving effect to any amendments, modifications or other changes to such definition from time to time), or (ii) does not contain a borrowing base.”;
““ Roll Forward Increase ” means, as of the first day of any fiscal quarter, an amount equal to the sum of the Capital Payment Credit, if any, that accrued during each of the three immediately preceding fiscal quarters, regardless of whether Liquidity did not exceed $50,000,000 at any time during such fiscal quarters.”;
(d) a new clause (f) in Section 6.01 that will provide “(f) as soon as available, but in any event not later than 30 days after the end of each calendar month, a report prepared by management of the Borrower indicating in reasonable detail all Capital Expenditures and Capital Lease payments made during such calendar month.”;
(e) an amended clause (f) in Section 7.02 that will be amended by replacing in subclause (i) “$50,000,000” with “$90,000,000”;
(f) an amended Section 7.12 that will be amended by replacing Section 7.12 in the Term Loan Agreement in its entirety with the following:

“Make or become legally obligated to make (without duplication) any Capital Expenditure or make or become legally obligated to make any payment in respect of a Capitalized Lease, except for Capital Expenditures and Capitalized Lease payments in the ordinary course of business not exceeding the Maximum Capital Payment Amount in any fiscal quarter (or, in the case of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016, for the period beginning with and including the Closing Date and ending with and including December 31, 2016); provided that, as of the date of any such Capital Expenditure or Capitalized Lease payment (and giving pro forma effect to such Capital Expenditure or Capitalized Lease payment and any concurrent incurrence of Indebtedness) no Default exists and such Capital Expenditure or Capitalized Lease payment could not reasonably be expected to cause a Default; provided further that Capital Expenditures and Capitalized Lease payments in excess of the applicable Maximum Capital Payment Amount shall be permitted if (a) the pro forma Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the end of the most recent Measurement Period for which financial statements of the Borrower are available is at least 1.2:1.0 and (b) Consolidated EBITDA for such Measurement Period is not less than $200,000,000.”;








(g) modifications acceptable to the Term Loan Lenders in their sole discretion to remove the 2019 Notes and the 2022 Notes and to permit the New Convertible Notes, the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Plan; and
(h) such other modifications as shall be agreed by the Reorganized Debtor Parent, the Term Loan Agent and the Term Loan Lenders in their sole discretion and acceptable to the Requisite Noteholders (as such term is defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) in their reasonable discretion.

4




after due deliberation and sufficient cause appearing therefor; the Court hereby FINDS, DETERMINES, AND CONCLUDES that:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

A. Findings and Conclusions . The findings and conclusions set forth herein and in the record of the Combined Hearing constitute the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Rule 52 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as made applicable herein by Bankruptcy Rules 7052 and 9014. To the extent any of the following findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such. To the extent any of the following conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.
B.      Jurisdiction, Venue, Core Proceeding (28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b)(2), 1334(a)) . The Court has jurisdiction over the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334, and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware dated February 29, 2012. Approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan are core proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b) and this Court has jurisdiction to enter a final order with respect thereto. The Debtors are eligible debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code. Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. The Debtors are proper plan proponents under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
C.      Chapter 11 Petitions . On October 24, 2016 (the “ Petition Date ”), each Debtor commenced with this Court a voluntary case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “ Chapter 11 Cases ”). The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the

5




Bankruptcy Code. No trustee or examiner has been appointed pursuant to section 1104 of the Bankruptcy Code. No statutory committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code. Further, in accordance with an order of this Court, the Debtors’ cases are being jointly administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b).
D.      Judicial Notice . The Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the Clerk of the Court, including all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, or adduced at the hearings held before the Court during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.
E.      Burden of Proof . Each of the Debtors has met the burden of proving the elements of sections 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence.
F.      Adequacy of Disclosure Statement . The Disclosure Statement (a) contains sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable non-bankruptcy law, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), (b) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a)(1) and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Prepackaged Plan, and the transactions set forth therein, and (c) is approved in all respects.
G.      Voting . As evidenced by the Sullivan Declaration, votes to accept or reject the Prepackaged Plan have been solicited and tabulated fairly, in good faith, and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law.
H.      Solicitation . Prior to the Petition Date, the Prepackaged Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Ballots, and, subsequent to the Petition Date, notice of the

6




Combined Hearing, were transmitted and served in compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the Local Rules, and the Scheduling Order. The forms of the Ballots adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11 Cases and were appropriate for holders of Claims and Interests in Class 4 (Term Loan Claims) and Class 5 (Unsecured Notes Claims) – the Classes of Claims and Interests entitled under the Prepackaged Plan to vote to accept or reject the Prepackaged Plan. The continued postpetition solicitation of such voting classes was proper and in compliance with section 1125(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. The period during which the Debtors solicited acceptances to the Prepackaged Plan was a reasonable period of time for holders to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Prepackaged Plan. The Debtors were not required to solicit votes from the holders of Claims or Interests in Class 1 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 2 (Other Secured Claims), Class 3 (ABL Facility Claims), Class 6 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Claims), and Class 10 (Intercompany Interests) as each such class is Unimpaired under the Prepackaged Plan. The Debtors also were not required to solicit votes from the holders of Claims in Class 8 (Subordinated Claims) and Class 9 (Existing Equity Interests), as such Classes are deemed to reject the Prepackaged Plan. As described in and as evidenced by the Sullivan Declaration, and the Notice Affidavits, the transmittal and service of the Prepackaged Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Ballots, and the notice of the Combined Hearing, and the publication of such notice of the Combined Hearing (all of the foregoing, the “ Solicitation ”) was timely, adequate, and sufficient under the circumstances. The Solicitation of votes on the Prepackaged Plan complied with the Solicitation Procedures, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, was conducted in good faith, and was in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and any other

7




applicable rules, laws, and regulations. The Released Parties are entitled to the protection of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
I.      Rights Offering . The Rights Offering was conducted in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures.
J.      Notice . As is evidenced by the Sullivan Declaration, and the Notice Affidavits, the transmittal and service of the Prepackaged Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Ballots were adequate and sufficient under the circumstances, and all parties required to be given notice of the Combined Hearing (including the deadline for filing and serving objections to confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan) have been given due, proper, timely, and adequate notice in accordance with the Scheduling Order and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law and such parties have had an opportunity to appear and be heard with respect thereto. No other or further notice is required.
K.      Plan Supplement . On November 22, 2016 and December 7, 2016, the Debtors filed the Plan Supplement and additional supplement thereto, respectively, containing the following documents: (i) the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement (exclusive of all ancillary documents), (ii) the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (exclusive of all ancillary documents), (iii) the New Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) the Amended Certificate of Incorporation of Reorganized Basic Parent, (v) the Amended By-Laws of Reorganized Basic Parent, (vi) the Warrant Agreement, (vii) the Registration Rights Agreement, (viii) the New Convertible Notes Indenture, (ix) the slate of directors to be appointed to the New Board to the extent such information is available, (x) the Management Incentive Plan, (xi) the New Common

8




Shares Allocation Schedule, (xii) the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, and (xiii) the Schedule of Rejected Contracts.
L.      Modifications of the Prepackaged Plan . On December 7, 2016, the Debtors filed the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Basic Energy Services, Inc. [Docket No. 231]. Modifications made to the Prepackaged Plan since the Solicitation (i) complied in all respects with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019 and (ii) do not require re-solicitation of votes with respect to the Prepackaged Plan. Adequate and sufficient notice of such modifications has been given, no further notice is or shall be required, and such modifications are approved in full. The votes cast to accept the Prepackaged Plan are deemed to have been cast with respect to the Prepackaged Plan as so modified.
Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code
M.      Prepackaged Plan Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)) . The Prepackaged Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and, as required by Bankruptcy Rule 3016, the Prepackaged Plan is dated and identifies the Debtors as proponents, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(a)      Proper Classification (11 U.S.C. §§ 1122, 1123(a)(1)) . In addition to Administrative Expense Claims, Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which need not be classified, Articles III and IV of the Prepackaged Plan classify ten (10) Classes of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. The Claims and Interests placed in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims and Interests, as the case may be, in each such Class. Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims and Interests created under the Prepackaged Plan, and such Classes do not unfairly discriminate

9




between holders of Claims and Interests. The Prepackaged Plan therefore satisfies sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(b)      Specified Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(2)) . Articles III and IV of the Prepackaged Plan specify that Class 1 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 2 (Other Secured Claims), Class 3 (ABL Facility Claims), Class 6 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Claims), and Class 10 (Intercompany Interests) are unimpaired under the Prepackaged Plan within the meaning of section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(c)      Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(3)) . Articles III and IV of the Prepackaged Plan designate Class 4 (Term Loan Claims), Class 5 (Unsecured Notes Claims), Class 8 (Subordinated Claims), and Class 9 (Existing Equity Interests) as impaired within the meaning of section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code and specify the treatment of the Claims and Interests in those Classes, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(d)      No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(4)) . The Prepackaged Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim or Interest in each respective Class unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Interest, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(e)      Implementation of the Prepackaged Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)) . The Prepackaged Plan and the various documents and agreements set forth in the Plan Supplement provide adequate and proper means for the implementation of the Prepackaged Plan, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, (i) the continued corporate existence of the Reorganized Debtors, (ii) all corporate action as set forth

10




more fully in Section 5.1(b) of the Prepackaged Plan, (iii) funding of the Prepackaged Plan, (iv) the cancellation of certain securities and agreements, (v) the cancellation of certain existing security interests, (vi) the composition of the board of directors and list of officers of each Reorganized Debtor, (vii) the adoption of the Management Incentive Plan, (viii) the authorization, issuance, and delivery of the New Common Shares, (ix) the entry into the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, (x) the entry into the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement; (xi) the entry into the New Intercreditor Agreement, (xii) the Rights Offering, (xiii) the entry into the Registration Rights Agreement; (xiv) the entry into the Warrant Agreement, (xv) the entry into the New Convertible Notes Indenture; (xvi) the continuation of all Intercompany Interests held by Basic or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Basic, and (xvii) the taking of all necessary or appropriate actions by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions under and in connection with the Prepackaged Plan.
(f)      Non-Voting Equity Securities / Allocation of Voting Power (11 U.S.C. §   1123(a)(6)) . The Amended Certificates of Incorporation prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. The issuance of the New Common Shares complies with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, the boards of directors of each Reorganized Debtor shall be deemed to have adopted the Amended By-Laws applicable to such Reorganized Debtor.
(g)      Designation of Directors and Officers (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(7)) . The Plan Supplement and Section 5.5 of the Prepackaged Plan contain provisions with respect to the manner of selection of directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors that are consistent with the interests of creditors, equity security holders, and public policy, thereby satisfying section

11




1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have identified the directors and officers of each Reorganized Debtor in the Plan Supplement to the extent such information is available [Docket No. 194].
(h)      Impairment/Unimpairment of Classes of Claims and Interests (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(1)) . Pursuant to Articles III and IV of the Prepackaged Plan, as set forth in section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, (a) Class 1 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 2 (Other Secured Claims), Class 3 (ABL Facility Claims), Class 6 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Claims), and Class 10 (Intercompany Interest) are unimpaired and (b) Class 4 (Term Loan Claims), Class 5 (Unsecured Notes Claims), Class 8 (Subordinated Claims), and Class 9 (Existing Equity Interests) are impaired.
(i)      Assumption and Rejection (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(2)) . Article VIII of the Prepackaged Plan addresses the assumption and rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, and meets the requirements of section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with Section 8.2 of the Prepackaged Plan, the Debtors have filed and served, as set forth in the Affidavit of Eleni Manners [Docket No. 202], the Notice of Cure Amounts with Respect to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be Assumed by the Debtors Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan [Docket No. 183] on parties to executory contracts and unexpired leases to be assumed reflecting the Debtors’ intention to assume the contract or lease in connection with the Prepackaged Plan and setting forth the proposed Cure Amount (if any). If a counterparty to any executory contract or unexpired lease that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, intend to assume has not received such a notice, the Cure Amount for such executory contract or unexpired lease shall be Zero Dollars ($0). There have been no objections to the Debtors’

12




assumption of executory contracts and unexpired leases pursuant to Article VIII of the Prepackaged Plan.
(j)      Retention of Causes of Action and Reservation of Rights (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(3)) . Except as otherwise provided in the Prepackaged Plan, including Sections 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 of the Prepackaged Plan, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce, sue on, settle or compromise (or decline to do any of the foregoing) all claims, rights, causes of action, suits and proceedings, whether in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, that the Debtors or their estates may hold against any Person without the approval of the Court, including, without limitation, (i) any and all Claims against any Person, to the extent such Person asserts a crossclaim, counterclaim, and/or Claim for setoff which seeks affirmative relief against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their officers, directors or representatives; and (ii) the turnover of any property of the Debtors’ estates; provided , however , that the Reorganized Debtors shall not retain any Claims or Causes of Action against the Released Parties (other than Claims or Causes of Action arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that is a criminal act or constitutes intentional fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, which Claims or Causes of Action are hereby preserved). The Reorganized Debtors or their successor(s) may pursue such retained claims, rights, or causes of action, suits or proceedings, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors or their successor(s) that hold such rights. The Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, and other legal or equitable defenses as fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Debtors’ legal and equitable rights in respect of any Unimpaired Claim may (except as otherwise

13




provided in the Prepackaged Plan) be asserted after the date of confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan (the “ Confirmation Date ”) and after the Effective Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.
(k)      Unaffected Rights of Holders of Classes of Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(5)) . The Prepackaged Plan leaves unaffected the rights of holders of Claims and Interests in Class 1 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 2 (Other Secured Claims), Class 3 (ABL Facility Claims), Class 6 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Claims), and Class 10 (Intercompany Interests). Thus, the Prepackaged Plan complies with section 1123(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(l)      Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(6)) . The provisions of the Prepackaged Plan are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(m)      Cure of Defaults (11 U.S.C. § 1123(d)) . Section 8.2 of the Prepackaged Plan provides for the satisfaction of default claims associated with each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. All cure amounts will be determined in accordance with the underlying agreements and applicable non-bankruptcy law. Thus, the Prepackaged Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.
N.      The Debtors’ Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(2)) . The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically:
(a)      Each of the Debtors is an eligible debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code; and

14




(b)      The Debtors have complied with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided or permitted by orders of the Court, and in transmitting the Prepackaged Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement, the Ballots, and related documents and notices and in soliciting and tabulating the votes on the Prepackaged Plan, the Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125 and 1126(b), the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, applicable non-bankruptcy law, the Scheduling Order, and all other applicable law.
O.      Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)) . The Debtors have proposed the Prepackaged Plan (and all documents necessary to effectuate the Prepackaged Plan) in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ good faith is evident from the facts and record of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, and the record of the Combined Hearing, and other proceedings held in these Chapter 11 Cases. The Prepackaged Plan was proposed with the legitimate and honest purpose of maximizing the value of the Debtors’ estates and to effectuate a successful reorganization of the Debtors. The Prepackaged Plan (including all documents necessary to effectuate the Prepackaged Plan) was negotiated at arm’s length among representatives of the Debtors, the Restructuring Support Parties, and their respective professionals. Each of the Restructuring Support Parties supports confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan. Further, the Prepackaged Plan’s classification, indemnification, exculpation, release, and injunction provisions have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length, are consistent with sections 105, 1122, 1123(b)(3)(A), 1123(b)(6), 1129, and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, and are each necessary for the Debtors’ successful reorganization.

15




P.      Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(4)) .
(a)      Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors for services or for costs and expenses of the Debtors’ professionals in connection with their Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Prepackaged Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(b)      As set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement and/or the DIP Order, as part of the negotiated terms on which the Debtors and the Restructuring Support Parties agreed to proceed with the consensual, prepackaged restructuring reflected in the Prepackaged Plan, the Debtors have agreed to pay all the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (i) Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as counsel to the Term Loan Lenders and certain of the DIP Facility Lenders, (ii) PJT Partners LP, as financial advisers to the Term Loan Lenders and certain of the DIP Facility Lenders, (iii) Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP, as local counsel to the Term Loan Lenders and certain of the DIP Facility Lenders, (iv) Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP and Blank Rome LLP, as counsel to the Ad Hoc Group and certain of the DIP Facility Lenders, (v) GLC Advisors & Co., LLC, as financial advisers to the Ad Hoc Group, and (vi) Vinson & Elkins LLP and Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnel LLP, as counsel to the ABL Facility Agent.
Q.      Directors, Officers, and Insiders (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5)) . The Debtors have complied with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. The identity and affiliations of the persons proposed to serve as the initial directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors upon the Effective Date of the Prepackaged Plan have been fully disclosed to the extent such information is available, and the appointment to, or continuance in, such offices of such persons

16




is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors and with public policy. Each such member will serve in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Amended Certificate of Incorporation, Amended By-Laws, and other relevant organizational documents, each as applicable. The directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors shall be selected according the procedures set forth in the Prepackaged Plan.
R.      No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)) . The Prepackaged Plan does not provide for rate changes by any of the Reorganized Debtors. Thus, section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.
S.      Best Interest of Creditors (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)) . The Prepackaged Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The liquidation analysis provided in the Disclosure Statement and other evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (i) are persuasive and credible, (ii) have not been controverted by other evidence, and (iii) establish that each holder of an impaired Claim or Interest either has accepted the Prepackaged Plan or will receive or retain under the Prepackaged Plan, on account of such Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.
T.      Acceptance by Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)) . Class 1 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 2 (Other Secured Claims), Class 3 (ABL Facility Claims), Class 6 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Claims), and Class 10 (Intercompany Interests) are Classes of Unimpaired Claims or Interests that are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Prepackaged Plan in accordance with section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Class 8 (Subordinated Claims) and Class 9 (Existing Equity Interests) are Classes of Impaired

17




Claims or Interests that are conclusively presumed to have rejected the Prepackaged Plan in accordance with section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Class 4 (Term Loan Claims) and Class 5 (Unsecured Notes Claims) have voted to accept the Prepackaged Plan in accordance with sections 1126(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code, without regard to the votes of insiders of the Debtors.
U.      Treatment of Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Priority Non-Tax Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)) . The treatment of Allowed Administrative Expense Claims and Fee Claims pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, of the Prepackaged Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The treatment of Priority Non-Tax Claims pursuant to Sections 4.1 of the Prepackaged Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. The treatment of Priority Tax Claims pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Prepackaged Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, no holder of an Administrative Expense Clam is required to file a proof of claim or request for payment of administrative expenses under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. On and after the Effective Date, all Administrative Expense Claims, Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Priority Non-Tax Claims shall be paid in the ordinary course of business of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to parties’ ability to dispute such Claims in accordance with Article VII of the Prepackaged Plan and applicable non-bankruptcy law.
V.      Acceptance by Impaired Class (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(10)) . Class 4 (Term Loan Claims) and Class 5 (Unsecured Notes Claims) have voted to accept the Prepackaged Plan by the requisite majorities, determined without including any acceptance of the Prepackaged

18




Plan by any insider, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code.
W.      Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(11)) . The information in the Disclosure Statement, the Braley Declaration, the Keil Declaration, and the evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (i) are persuasive and credible, (ii) have not been controverted by other evidence, and (iii) establish that the Prepackaged Plan is feasible and that there is a reasonable prospect of the Reorganized Debtors being able to meet their financial obligations under the Prepackaged Plan and their business in the ordinary course and that confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.
X.      Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)) . All fees currently payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930, as determined by the Bankruptcy Code, have been or will be paid on or before the Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Prepackaged Plan, thereby satisfying the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Y.      Continuation of Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(13)) . Section 8.5 of the Prepackaged Plan provides that all employment and severance policies, and all compensation and benefits plans, policies, and programs of the Debtors applicable to their respective employees, retirees, and nonemployee directors, including, without limitation, all savings plans, retirement plans, healthcare plans, disability plans, severance benefit plans, incentive plans, and life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans, are deemed to be, and shall be treated as, executory contracts under the Prepackaged Plan and, on the Effective Date, will be

19




assumed pursuant to sections 365 and 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Prepackaged Plan therefore satisfies Section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Z.      No Domestic Support Obligations (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(14)) . The Debtors are not required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation. Accordingly, section 1129(a)(14) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.
AA.      Debtors Are Not Individuals (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(15)) . The Debtors are not individuals, and accordingly, section 1129(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.
BB.      No Applicable Non-Bankruptcy Law Regarding Transfers (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(16)) . The Debtors are each a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation, and accordingly, section 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.
CC.      No Unfair Discrimination; Fair and Equitable (11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)) . Class 8 (Subordinated Claims) and Class 9 (Existing Equity Interests) are deemed to have rejected the Prepackaged Plan. Based upon the evidence proffered, adduced, and presented by the Debtors at the Confirmation Hearing, the Prepackaged Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to and is fair and equitable with respect to the aforementioned Classes, as required by sections 1129(b)(1) and (b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, because no holder of any interest that is junior to each such Class will receive or retain any property under the Prepackaged Plan on account of such junior interest, and no holder of a Claim or Interest in a Class senior to such Classes is receiving more than 100% recovery on account of its Claim or Interest. Thus, the

20




Prepackaged Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding the deemed rejection of the Prepackaged Plan by these Classes.
DD.      Only One Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(c)) . The Prepackaged Plan is the only plan filed in each of these Chapter 11 Cases, and accordingly, section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.
EE.      Principal Purpose of the Prepackaged Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)) . The principal purpose of the Prepackaged Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act, and no governmental entity has objected to the confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan on any such grounds. The Prepackaged Plan, therefore, satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.
FF.      Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)) . Based on the record before the Court in these Chapter 11 Cases, including evidence presented at the Combined Hearing, the Released Parties (i) have acted in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with all their respective activities relating to the solicitation of acceptances to the Prepackaged Plan and their participation in the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) shall be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer and issuance of any securities under the Prepackaged Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such offer, issuance, and solicitation will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Prepackaged Plan or the offer and issuance of the securities under the Prepackaged Plan, and

21




are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and, to the extent such parties are listed therein as Exculpated Parties, the exculpation provisions set forth in Section 10.8 of the Prepackaged Plan.
GG.      Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements . Based upon the foregoing, the Prepackaged Plan satisfies the requirements for confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.
HH.      Implementation . The Plan Documents and all other relevant and necessary documents have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable agreements that are not in conflict with any federal or state law.
II.      Injunction, Releases, and Exculpation . The Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(b) and 1334 (b) to approve the injunctions, releases, and exculpation set forth in Sections 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 of the Prepackaged Plan. Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code permits issuance of the injunction and approval of the releases set forth in Sections 10.6 and 10.7 of the Prepackaged Plan, respectively, if, as has been established here, based upon the record in the Chapter 11 Cases and the evidence presented at the Combined Hearing, such provisions (i) were integral to the agreement among the various parties in interest, as reflected in the Restructuring Support Agreement, and are essential to the formulation and implementation of the Prepackaged Plan, as provided in section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) confer substantial benefits on the Debtors’ estates, (iii) are fair, equitable, and reasonable, and (iv) are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates, and parties in interest. The release contained in Section 10.7(b) of the Prepackaged Plan was disclosed and explained on the Ballots, in the Disclosure Statement, and in the Prepackaged Plan. The release provisions contained in

22




Section 10.7(b) of the Prepackaged Plan are consensual because the releases therein are provided only by (i) holders of Claims that are Unimpaired, where the applicable Claims or Interests have been paid fully or otherwise satisfied in accordance with the Prepackaged Plan, and (ii) holders of Impaired Claims and Interests entitled to vote on the Prepackaged Plan (a) who vote to accept the Prepackaged Plan, (b) who do not vote to accept or reject the Prepackaged Plan, and (c) who vote to reject the Prepackaged Plan and do not check the opt-out box. See In re Indianapolis Downs, LLC , 486 B.R. 286, 303 (Bankr. D. Del. 2013). Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the injunctions, releases, and exculpation set forth in the Prepackaged Plan and implemented by this Order are fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors and their estates, creditors, and equity holders. The releases of non-Debtors under the Prepackaged Plan are fair to holders of Claims and are necessary to the proposed reorganization, thereby satisfying the applicable standards contained in In re Indianapolis Downs , 486 B.R. at 303 and are otherwise appropriate under In re W.R. Grace & Co. , 475 B.R. 34, 107 (D. Del. 2012). Such releases are given in exchange for and are supported by fair, sufficient, and adequate consideration provided by each and all of the parties providing such releases. The record of the Confirmation Hearing and these chapter 11 cases is sufficient to support the injunctions, releases, and exculpation provided for in Sections 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 of the Prepackaged Plan. Accordingly, based upon the record of these Chapter 11 Cases, the representations of the parties, and/or the evidence proffered, adduced, and/or presented at the Confirmation Hearing, this Court finds that the injunction, releases, and exculpation set forth in Article X of the Prepackaged Plan are consistent with the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law. The failure to implement the injunctions, releases, and exculpation would seriously impair the Debtors’ ability to confirm the Prepackaged Plan.

23




JJ.      Good Faith . The Debtors and the Released Parties will be acting in good faith if they proceed to (i) consummate the Prepackaged Plan and the agreements, settlements, transactions, and transfers set forth therein and (ii) take the actions authorized and directed by this Order.
KK.      2019 and 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee, ABL Facility Agent, Term Loan Agent, and the DIP Facility Agent . Based upon a review of the record, the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee, the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee, the ABL Facility Agent, the Term Loan Agent, and the DIP Facility Agent, each, diligently and in good faith, discharged its duties and obligations pursuant to the 2019 Notes Indenture, the 2022 Notes Indenture, the Term Loan Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement, and the DIP Facility Loan Agreement, as applicable, and otherwise conducted itself with respect to all matters in any way relating to the 2019 Notes Indenture, the 2022 Notes Indenture, the Term Loan Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement, and the DIP Facility Loan Agreement, as applicable, with the same degree of care and skill that a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Accordingly, the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee, the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee, the ABL Facility Agent, the Term Loan Agent, and the DIP Facility Agent each has discharged its duties fully in accordance with the 2019 Notes Indenture, the 2022 Notes Indenture, the Term Loan Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement, and the DIP Facility Loan Agreement, as applicable.
LL.      Valuation . Notwithstanding the distributions contemplated under the Prepackaged Plan to Class 9 (Existing Equity Interests), pursuant to the valuation analysis set forth in the Disclosure Statement, the enterprise value of the Debtors is insufficient to support a distribution to holders of Existing Equity Interests under absolute priority principles.

24




MM.      Retention of Jurisdiction . The Court may properly, and upon the Effective Date shall, retain concurrent, but not exclusive, jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, and related to, the Chapter 11 Cases, including the matters set forth in Article XI of the Prepackaged Plan and section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code.
ORDER

To the extent that any finding of fact shall be determined to be a conclusion of law, it shall be deemed so, and vice versa.
2. Notice of the Combined Hearing . Notice of the Combined Hearing complied with the terms of the Scheduling Order, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and was in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules.
3. Solicitation . The solicitation of votes on the Prepackaged Plan complied with the Solicitation Procedures, was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and was in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law.
4. Ballots . The forms of Ballots annexed to the Sullivan Declaration are in compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 3018(c), conform to Official Form Number 14, and are approved in all respects.

25




5. Plan Modifications . On December 7, 2016, the Debtors filed the First Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Basic Energy Services, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. 231]. Modifications made to the Prepackaged Plan following the solicitation of votes thereon satisfy the requirements of section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019.
6. Disclosure Statement . The Disclosure Statement (i) contains adequate information of a kind generally consistent with the disclosure requirements of applicable non-bankruptcy law, including the Securities Act, (ii) contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a)(1) and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Prepackaged Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein, and (iii) is approved in all respects. To the extent that the Debtors’ solicitation of acceptances of the Prepackaged Plan is deemed to constitute an offer of new securities, the Debtors are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and of any equivalent state securities or “blue sky” laws) with respect to such solicitation under section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Section 4(a)(2) exempts from registration under the Securities Act all “transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.” 15 U.S.C. § 77d(2). The Debtors have complied with the requirements of section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder, as the prepetition solicitation of acceptances would constitute a private placement of securities. The solicitation to creditors was made only to those creditors who are “Accredited Investors” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, as creditors were required to certify on their Ballots that they were accredited investors.
7. Confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan . The Prepackaged Plan and each of its provisions shall be, and hereby are, CONFIRMED under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy

26




Code. The documents contained in the Plan Supplement are authorized and approved. The terms of the Prepackaged Plan, including the Plan Supplement, are incorporated by reference into and are an integral part of this Order.
8. Objections . All objections, responses to, and statements and comments, if any, in opposition to, the Prepackaged Plan and/or the Disclosure Statement, respectively, other than those withdrawn with prejudice in their entirety prior to, or on the record at, the Combined Hearing, shall be, and hereby are, overruled in their entirety for the reasons stated on the record.
9. No Action . Pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, other applicable non-bankruptcy law, and section 1142(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, no action of the respective directors or stockholders of the Debtors shall be required to authorize the Debtors to enter into, execute, deliver, file, adopt, amend, restate, consummate, or effectuate, as the case may be, the Prepackaged Plan and any contract, instrument, or other document to be executed, delivered, adopted, or amended in connection with the implementation of the Prepackaged Plan.
10. Binding Effect . On or after entry of this Order and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, the provisions of the Prepackaged Plan shall bind the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, all holders of Claims and Interests of the Debtors (irrespective of whether such Claims or Interests are impaired under the Prepackaged Plan or whether the holders of such Claims or Interests accepted or are deemed to have accepted the Prepackaged Plan), any and all non-Debtor parties to executory contracts and unexpired leases with any of the Debtors, any other party in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases, and the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns, if any, of any of the foregoing.

27




11. Free and Clear . Except as otherwise provided in the Prepackaged Plan, any Plan Document, or this Order, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be vested with all property of the Estates, free and clear of all Claims, liens, encumbrances, charges, and other interests; provided , that the Liens and security interests securing the obligations arising under the Term Loan Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement shall be unaffected by these Chapter 11 Cases, the Prepackaged Plan, or this Order and shall continue to secure the obligations arising under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable, and are hereby reaffirmed. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may operate each of their businesses and use, acquire, or dispose of assets free of any restrictions imposed by the Bankruptcy Code, the Court, and the U.S. Trustee (except for quarterly operating reports and fees associated therewith until the closing of applicable Chapter 11 Cases).
12. Implementation of the Prepackaged Plan . The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors and the appropriate officers, representatives, and members of the boards of directors thereof shall be authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such documents, contracts, instruments, releases, and other agreements, including those contained in the Plan Supplement, and take such other actions as may be necessary to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Prepackaged Plan, including the Restructuring Transactions, and all such other actions delineated in Article V of the Prepackaged Plan or otherwise contemplated by the Prepackaged Plan, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents except for those expressly required pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan.
13. Issuance of New Convertible Notes, New Common Shares, and Warrants and Entry Into Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, Amended and Restated ABL

28




Credit Agreement, and New Intercreditor Agreement . The Reorganized Debtors are authorized to issue the New Convertible Notes, the New Common Shares, and the Warrants, enter into the New Intercreditor Agreement, amend and restate the Term Loan Agreement in the form of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, amend and restate the ABL Credit Agreement in the form of the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement. The New Convertible Notes, the New Common Shares, the Warrants, the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, and the New Intercreditor Agreement shall be, upon execution and delivery, legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Reorganized Debtors and enforceable against the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with their respective terms.
14. Debt Documents . The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized and empowered, without further approval of this Court or any other party, to take such actions and to perform such acts as may be necessary, desirable, or appropriate to (i) implement the issuance of the New Convertible Notes, and (ii) execute the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, in each case in accordance with the Prepackaged Plan and to execute and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments, indentures, and certificates relating thereto (the “ Debt Documents ”). The loans and other extensions of credit contemplated by the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement and the granting and reaffirmation of Liens to secure such loans and other extensions of credit are approved and authorized in all respects. The Reorganized Debtors are authorized to enter into collateral documents to secure the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement. As of the Effective Date, without any further action by the Court or the directors, officers, managers,

29




members, or shareholders of the Reorganized Debtors, the Liens and security interests granted and reaffirmed pursuant to the Debt Documents will constitute legal, valid, and enforceable Liens and security interests in the collateral (as set forth in the Debt Documents and any other documents to be executed and delivered pursuant thereto) and such Liens and security interests will constitute legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Reorganized Debtors. The holders of Liens under the Debt Documents are authorized to file, with the appropriate authorities, financing statements and other documents (the “ Debt Perfection Documents ”) or take any other action in order to evidence, validate, and perfect such Liens or security interests. The agents under the New Intercreditor Agreement are authorized and empowered to execute, deliver, file or record such documents, instruments, releases, termination statement, or agreements and take such further action as may be necessary to effectuate and implement the Prepackaged Plan.

Whether the Debt Perfection Documents are filed prior to, on, or after the Effective Date, (i) such Debt Perfection Documents will be valid, binding,

30




enforceable, and in full force and effect as of the Effective Date, and (ii) the Liens and security interests granted and reaffirmed under or in connection with the Debt Documents will become or continue to be, as applicable, valid, binding, and enforceable obligations of the Reorganized Debtors. The granting of such Liens and security interests, the making of such loans and other extensions of credit, the payment of any fees contemplated thereunder, and the execution and consummation of the Debt Documents and the Debt Perfection Documents have been and are being undertaken in good faith, for legitimate business purposes, and for reasonably equivalent value (including, in the case of the Term Loan Lenders, the waiver of payment of any make-whole amount or applicable premium due under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases), will be deemed not to constitute a preference, fraudulent conveyance, or fraudulent transfer, and will not otherwise be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, disallowance, reduction, subordination (whether equitable, contractual, except as provided in the New Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise), counterclaims, recoupment, cross-claims, defenses, or any other challenges under or pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable domestic or foreign law or regulation by any Person or entity. All Liens, mortgages, and security interests (and the agreements, instruments, filings, and other documents evidencing or giving rise to such Liens, mortgages and security interests) securing the obligations arising under the Term Loan Agreement or the ABL Credit Agreement as of the Petition Date are unaltered by the Prepackaged Plan or this Order, and all such Liens, mortgages, and security interests are reaffirmed and shall remain perfected and continue to secure the obligations arising under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement or the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable, to the same extent, in the same manner, and on the same terms as they were with respect to the Term Loan Agreement or ABL Credit

31




Agreement, as applicable, in each case without the need for any amendment or modification to any agreements, filings, or other documents evidencing or giving rise to such Lien, mortgages, and security interests. All fees and expenses required to be paid under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, including all fees and expenses payable to the ABL Facility Agent, the ABL Facility Lenders, the Term Loan Agent, and the Term Loan Lenders, shall be paid by the Reorganized Debtors without further order of the Court.
15. Compliance with Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code . The Amended Certificates of Incorporation, and the terms governing the issuance of the New Common Shares, comply in all respects with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, and are hereby approved. The adoption and filing of the Amended Certificates of Incorporation are hereby authorized, ratified, and approved. The Debtors have complied in all respects, to the extent necessary, with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
16. Exemption from Securities Law . The issuance of and the distribution under the Prepackaged Plan of the New Convertible Notes, the Subscription Rights (including the New Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the exercise thereof in the Rights Offering), the New Common Shares issued to holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, the New Common Shares and Warrants issued to holders of Existing Equity Interests, and the issuance of New Common Shares upon the conversion of the New Convertible Notes, and upon exercise of the Warrants, each shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. These securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder is an “underwriter”

32




with respect to such securities, as that term is defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, such section 1145 exempt securities generally may be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states. The availability of the exemption under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable securities laws shall not be a condition to the occurrence of the Effective Date. The issuance of the New Convertible Notes to the Backstop Parties under the Backstop Agreement (including the New Convertible Notes comprising the Backstop Put Premium) is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. Such securities will be considered “restricted securities” and may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under, or an available exemption from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act, such as, under certain conditions, the resale provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
17. Authorization and Issuance of Plan Securities . The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized to issue all plan-related securities and documents, including, without limitation, the New Common Shares, the New Convertible Notes, the Warrants, and any options or entitlements to purchase such plan-related securities, without the need for any further corporate, partnership, or limited liability company action. The Board of Directors of Reorganized Basic Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the New Common Shares listed on a nationally recognized exchange, as soon as practicable subject to meeting applicable listing requirements following the Effective Date.
18. Payment of DIP Facility Claims . In full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for, Allowed DIP Facility Claim (other than any DIP Facility Claims based on the Debtors’ contingent obligations under the DIP Facility Loan

33




Agreement for which no claim has been made), each such Allowed DIP Facility Claim shall be paid in full in Cash by the Debtors on the Effective Date in an amount equal to the Allowed amount of such DIP Facility Claim and all commitments under the DIP Facility Loan Agreement shall terminate. Upon the payment or satisfaction in full in Cash of the DIP Facility Claims (other than any DIP Facility Claims based on the Debtors’ contingent obligations under the DIP Facility Loan Agreement for which no claim has been made) in accordance with the terms of the Prepackaged Plan, on the Effective Date, all Liens granted to secure such obligations shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect. The Debtors’ contingent or unliquidated obligations under the DIP Facility Loan Agreement, to the extent not paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date or otherwise satisfied by the Debtors in a manner acceptable to the DIP Facility Agent, any affected lender under the DIP Facility Loan Agreement, or any other holder of a DIP Facility Claim, as applicable, shall survive the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the DIP Facility Loan Agreement, and shall not be released or discharged pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan or this Order, notwithstanding any provision hereof or thereof to the contrary.
19. Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements . Except for the purpose of evidencing a right to a distribution under the Prepackaged Plan and except as otherwise set forth in the Prepackaged Plan or in any Plan Document, on the Effective Date, all agreements, instruments, and other documents evidencing any Unsecured Notes Claims or Interests (other than certain Intercompany Interests that are not modified by the Prepackaged Plan) and any rights of any holder in respect thereof shall be deemed cancelled and of no force or effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to the DIP Facility Loan Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement, or the Term Loan Agreement. The holders of or parties to such cancelled instruments, Securities, and other documentation, will have no rights

34




arising from or related to such instruments, Securities, or other documentation, or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided for pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan. Notwithstanding such cancellation, each of the 2019 Notes Indenture and the 2022 Notes Indenture shall continue in effect to the extent necessary to allow:  (i) holders of Claims under such indentures to receive Plan Distributions; (ii) the Reorganized Debtors, the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee, and the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee to make distributions pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan on account of the 2019 Notes Claims and the 2022 Notes Claims, as applicable; and (iii) the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee and the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee to seek such reasonable compensation, fees, and expenses as (a) the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee and the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee are entitled under the applicable indentures, (b) the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee or the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee incurred in making distributions pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, or (c) the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee and the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee may be entitled under the Prepackaged Plan. Except as provided pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, both the 2019 Notes Indenture Trustee and the 2022 Notes Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, successors, and assigns, shall be relieved of all of their obligations associated with the 2019 Notes Indenture and the 2022 Notes Indenture, respectively.
20. Subordination . Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Prepackaged Plan, any Plan Document, this Order, or a separate order of this Court, the classification and manner of satisfying all Claims and Interests under the Prepackaged Plan take into consideration all subordination rights, whether arising by contract or under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Prepackaged Plan or any Plan Document, all subordination rights that a holder of a Claim or Existing Equity Interest may have with respect to any distribution to be made under

35




the Prepackaged Plan shall be discharged and terminated and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights shall be enjoined permanently. Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Prepackaged Plan, the distributions under the Prepackaged Plan to the holders of Allowed Claims and Interests will not be subject to payment of a beneficiary of such subordination rights, or to levy, garnishment, attachment, or other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights.
21. Compensation and Benefit Plans . The Debtors are hereby authorized to, and shall on the Effective Date, assume all employment and severance policies, and all compensation and benefits plans, policies, and programs of the Debtors applicable to their respective employees, retirees, and nonemployee directors, including, without limitation, all savings plans, retirement plans, healthcare plans, disability plans, severance benefit plans, incentive plans, and life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans.
22. Proofs of Claim . Holders of Claims need not file proofs of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court, and the Reorganized Debtors and holders of Claims shall determine, adjudicate, and resolve any disputes over the validity and amounts of such Claims in the ordinary course of business as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and the holders of Claims shall not be subject to any claims resolution process in Bankruptcy Court in connection with their Claims, and shall retain all their rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law to pursue their Claims against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in any forum with jurisdiction over the parties. Except for (i) proofs of Claim asserting damages arising out of the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Prepackaged Plan and (ii) proofs of Claim that have been otherwise objected to by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date, upon the Effective Date, such proofs of Claim, regardless of the time

36




of filing, and including Claims filed after the Effective Date, shall be deemed withdrawn. To the extent not otherwise provided in the Prepackaged Plan, the deemed withdrawal of a proof of Claim is without prejudice to such claimant’s rights, under Section 7.1 of the Prepackaged Plan to assert such Claims in any forum as though the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may satisfy, dispute, settle, or otherwise compromise any Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
23. Insurance Policies . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Order, the Prepackaged Plan, the Plan Supplement, the other Plan Documents, or any other document related to any of the foregoing or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, without limitation, any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening or grants an injunction or release), upon the Effective Date: (a) all insurance policies and related agreements (including, without limitation, any agreements with third party claims administrators) (collectively, the “ Insurance Policies ”) issued or providing coverage to the Debtors or their affiliates shall be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors and the rights and obligations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and all insurance carriers (and all third party claims administrators) (collectively, the “ Insurance Carriers ”) under the Insurance Policies shall not be affected by this Order, the Prepackaged Plan, the Plan Supplement, the other Plan Documents, or any other document related to any of the foregoing or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court; (b) the rights and obligations of the Reorganized Debtors and the Insurance Carriers shall be determined by the applicable Insurance Policies, including all terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions thereof, which shall remain in full force and effect and be enforceable by and against the Reorganized Debtors and the Insurance Carriers after the Effective Date, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, unless the insured and Insurance Carriers agree otherwise; and (c) the

37




claims of the Insurance Carriers arising (whether before or after the Effective Date) under the Insurance Policies shall be paid in full (subject to rights and defenses of the Insurance Carriers and Reorganized Debtors thereunder) in the ordinary course of business by the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with the Insurance Policies. For the avoidance of doubt, the Insurance Carriers shall not be subject to any set Cure Amount or any bar date for Claims.
24. Ongoing Litigation and Administrative Proceeding . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order, the Prepackaged Plan, the Plan Supplement, the other Plan Documents, or any other document related to any of the foregoing, each litigation or administrative proceeding against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, pending or threatened, or that was or could have been commenced against the Debtors prior to the date of entry of this Order (including, without limitation, any Claim covered by Insurance Policies), shall survive these Chapter 11 Cases as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced and continue in the ordinary course in the forum where such proceeding has been or could have been brought had these Chapter 11 Cases not been commenced, and the Insurance Carriers may administer, handle, defend, settle, and/or pay such Claims and use and apply any or all of the collateral provided by or on behalf of the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) in the ordinary course of business subject to the terms of the Insurance Policies.
25. Reservation of Rights in Favor of Governmental Units.
(a) Nothing in the Prepackaged Plan, or this Order, discharges or releases the Debtors or any other entity from any debt, obligation, claim, liability, or cause of action of any Governmental Unit (as that term is defined in section 101(27) if the Bankruptcy Code) or impairs the ability of any Governmental Unit to pursue any debt, obligation, claim, liability, or cause of action against any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, or non-Debtor. All claims, liabilities, or

38




causes of action of, or to, any Governmental Unit are Unimpaired under the Prepackaged Plan and shall survive the Chapter 11 Cases as if the cases had not been commenced, and shall be adjudicated, paid, and/or determined in the manner and by the administrative or judicial tribunals in which such rights or claims would have been resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced. Contracts, leases, covenants, operating rights agreements, or other interests or agreements with any Governmental Unit or involving (1) federal or state land or minerals or (2) lands or minerals held in trust for federally-recognized Indian tribes or held by such Indian landowners in fee with federal restriction on alienation shall be, subject to any applicable legal or equitable rights or defenses of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors under applicable non-bankruptcy law, paid, treated, determined and administered in the ordinary course of business as if the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases were never filed. Without limiting the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt: (1) Governmental Units shall not be required to file any claims in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases; (2) nothing in the Prepackaged Plan or this Order shall affect or impair the ability of any Governmental Unit to make a demand on, be paid by, or otherwise pursue any sureties that are jointly and severally liable with the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors for any debt owed to a Governmental Unit; (3) nothing in the Prepackaged Plan or this Order shall be interpreted to set cure amounts or to require any Governmental Unit to novate or otherwise consent to the transfer of any federal or state interests; (4) nothing in the Prepackaged Plan or this Order shall affect or impair the exercise of any Governmental Unit’s police and regulatory powers against the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors; and (5) nothing in the Prepackaged Plan or this Order shall affect or impair any Governmental Unit’s rights to assert setoff and recoupment, including contingent or unliquidated rights, against the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors, and such rights are expressly preserved.. For the avoidance of any

39




doubt, Governmental Unit shall include applicable state taxing authorities. Nothing contained in the Prepackaged Plan or this Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, rights to appeal tax assessments, or other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors have under non-Bankruptcy law in connection with any claim, liability, or cause of action of any Governmental Unit.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the claim of the Oklahoma Tax Commission, as evidenced by the Proof of Claim No. 8, shall be deemed an Allowed Priority Tax Claim under the Prepackaged Plan upon the resolution of, and in the amount to be determined at, the administrative proceeding styled IN THE MATTER OF THE INCOME TAX PROTEST OF BASIC ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES – CASE NO. P-10-1485-K, including any subsequent appeal or review process available under law, or as otherwise may be agreed upon between the OTC and the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors.
26. Compromise of Controversies . In consideration for the distributions and other benefits, including releases, provided under the Prepackaged Plan, the provisions of the Prepackaged Plan constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims, Interests, and controversies resolved under the Prepackaged Plan, and the entry of this Order constitutes approval of such compromise and settlement under Bankruptcy Rule 9019, subject to section 10.11 of the Prepackaged Plan.
27. Conditions Precedent to Effective Date . The Prepackaged Plan shall not become effective unless and until the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 of the Prepackaged Plan have been satisfied or waived pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Prepackaged Plan.
28. Professional Compensation . All Professional Persons seeking awards by the Bankruptcy Court of compensation for services rendered or reimbursement of expenses

40




incurred through and including the Effective Date under sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b)(2), 503(b)(3), 503(b)(4), 503(b)(5), or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code shall (a) file, on or before the date that is forty five (45) days after the Effective Date, their respective applications for final allowances of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred and (b) be paid in full, in Cash, in such amounts as are Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court or authorized to be paid in accordance with the order(s) relating to or allowing any such Fee Claim.  On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall establish and fund the Fee Escrow Account.  The Debtors shall fund the Fee Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional Persons’ good faith estimates of the Fee Claims.  Funds held in the Fee Escrow Account shall not be considered property of the Debtors’ Estates or property of the Reorganized Debtors, but shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors only after all Fee Claims allowed by the Bankruptcy Court have been irrevocably paid in full.  The Fee Escrow Account shall be held in trust for Professional Persons retained by the Debtors and for no other parties until all Fee Claims Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court have been paid in full.  Fees owing to the applicable Professional Persons shall be paid in Cash to such Professional Persons from funds held in the Fee Escrow Account when such Claims are Allowed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court or authorized to be paid under the Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses of Professionals; provided, however, that the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations with respect to Fee Claims shall not be limited by nor deemed limited to the balance of funds held in the Fee Escrow Account.  To the extent that funds held in the Fee Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy the amount of accrued Fee Claims owing to the Professional Persons, such Professional Persons shall have an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim for any such deficiency, which shall be

41




satisfied in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Plan.  No Liens, claims, or interests shall encumber the Fee Escrow Account in any way. 
29. Objections to Final Fee Applications . All objections to any Final Fee Applications shall be served and filed (a) no later than twenty-one (21) days after the filing of the Final Fee Applications or (b) such later date as ordered by the Court upon a motion of the Reorganized Debtors.

Administrative expenses incurred by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date, including Fee Claims, shall not be subject to application and may be paid by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business and without further Court approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order or in the Prepackaged Plan, the U.S. Trustee shall have the right to object to Administrative Expense Claims.

As of the Effective Date, the confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan shall (i) pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Prepackaged Plan and except as otherwise provided in the Prepackaged Plan, discharge and release all Claims against or Interests in the Debtors, where such Claim or Interest has been fully paid or otherwise satisfied in accordance with the Prepackaged Plan, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, including any interest accrued or expenses incurred thereon from and after the Petition Date, or against their estates or properties or interests in property, and except as provided otherwise in the Prepackaged Plan, all persons or entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or their respective properties or interests in property, any other Claims based upon any act or omission, transaction or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date and (ii) pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Prepackaged Plan (and subject to the

32. Releases by the Debtors . As of the Effective Date, except for the rights and remedies that remain in effect from and after the Effective Date to enforce the Prepackaged Plan and the Plan Documents, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, including, without limitation, the service of the Released Parties to facilitate the reorganization of the Debtors and the implementation of the Restructuring, and except as otherwise provided in the Prepackaged Plan, the Plan Documents, or in this Order, the Released Parties are deemed forever released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Estates, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, and representatives and any and all other entities that may purport to assert any Cause of Action derivatively, by or through the foregoing entities, from any and all claims, interests, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, losses, remedies, or liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the holder of any Claim or Interest or other entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the

43

The Reorganized Debtors may require, as a condition to receipt of a distribution, that the holder of an Allowed Claim complete and return a Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable to each such holder. If the Reorganized Debtors make such a request and the holder fails to comply before the date that is 180 days after the request is made, the amount of such distribution shall irrevocably revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor and any Claim in respect of such distribution shall be discharged and forever barred from assertion against such Reorganized Debtor or its respective property.

Basic Energy Services Obtains Court Approval Of Restructuring And Recapitalization Plan
MORE THAN $800 MILLION IN DEBT EQUITIZED
$125 MILLION IN NEW CAPITAL RAISED
COMPANY TARGETS EMERGENCE BEFORE YEAR-END

FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Basic Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: BAS) ("Basic" or the "Company") today announced that the Company and its affiliated chapter 11 debtors obtained court approval of their prepackaged restructuring and recapitalization plan (the "Prepackaged Plan"), which received near unanimous support from voting creditors.

"The court's confirmation of our Prepackaged Plan represents a critical step towards emerging from chapter 11 and securing a bright future for Basic," said Roe Patterson, Basic's President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Basic is thankful for the continued support of our creditors, employees, customers and suppliers.  Their support has been integral to the successful outcome of the chapter 11 process and we look forward to emerging as quickly as possible as a healthier company, poised to continue providing our customers with dependable, high-quality services, which are the hallmark of our Company."
Among other things, the Prepackaged Plan equitizes over $800 million of unsecured debt, eliminates over $60 million in annual cash interest, and completes a new capital raise of $125 million.  Specifically, the Prepackaged Plan provides for a debt-for-equity swap that will result in its existing unsecured bond obligations being converted into equity.  Existing shareholders will receive common stock and warrants in the reorganized Company.  In addition, the Prepackaged Plan implements agreements the Company reached with its existing secured lenders to continue their support of the Company through an amended and restated term loan agreement with more flexible covenants and an amended and restated ABL loan agreement.  Basic has also completed a $125 million fully backstopped rights offering of mandatorily convertible notes (totaling $131.25 million principal amount of notes including the backstop put premium), which will close on the effective date of the Prepackaged Plan and provide the Company with the cash it needs to operate successfully once it emerges from bankruptcy.  It is expected that the new notes will be deemed converted into equity of Basic contemporaneously with Basic's emergence from chapter 11 and thus will have no debt or interest burden on Basic.  All customer, vendor, and employee obligations associated with the ongoing business will remain unaffected.

Additional information regarding Basic's restructuring is available at www.basicenergyservices.com/restructuring.  Basic has also established a telephone hotline and e-mail address to respond to inquiries from interested parties regarding the restructuring.  The telephone hotline is 844-801-5971. The e-mail address is restructuring@basicenergyservices.com.
Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP is serving as legal counsel and Moelis & Company LLC is serving as investment banker to Basic.  AP Services, LLC is acting as restructuring advisors to the Company in connection with its restructuring efforts.
