Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On December 20, 2010, Basic Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) effective as of December 20, 2010 by and among the Company and certain affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking party thereto (such affiliates, the “DLJ Parties”), which amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of April 2, 2004, which terminated with respect to all other parties in accordance with its terms on December 21, 2010.
     The Stockholders’ Agreement provides for certain informational and consultation rights, along with confidentiality obligations, and registration rights for the DLJ Parties. As long as (i) any DLJ Party remains an Affiliate (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) of the Company or (ii) the DLJ Parties, collectively, beneficially hold at least ten percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, the DLJ Parties can require the Company to register shares of common stock on up to three occasions, provided that the proposed offering proceeds for the offering equal or exceed $10 million (or $5 million if the Company is able to register such securities on Form S-3). In addition such demand registration rights, the Stockholders’ Agreement provides the DLJ Parties with piggyback registration rights with respect to any proposed offering of equity securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8). The Company is also obligated under the Stockholders’ Agreement to perform certain other actions in connection with a demand registration or piggyback registration request by any of the DLJ Parties.
     The Stockholders’ Agreement terminates upon the earliest of (i) the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, (ii) the date all of the DLJ Parties cease to be affiliates of the Company and the DLJ Parties, collectively, beneficially hold less than ten percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, or (iii) December 21, 2015.
     A copy of the Stockholders’ Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
