(iii) do not arise from or relate to any event, circumstance, or condition occurring or existing before the Closing Date that, with notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute or result in either (A) a breach of any obligations under any provision of any Assigned Contract or (B) a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III; and

(iv) are not expanded by virtue of the assignment and assumption of such Assigned Contract pursuant to this Agreement as compared to the liabilities and obligations that would have been applicable absent such assignment and assumption.

Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 5

another party thereto would violate, conflict with, result in a breach or termination of, or constitute a default or event of default under (or an event that with due notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default or event of default under) the terms of such contract or Permit or any Applicable Law, or result in the creation of any Lien on any Purchased Asset or enable another party to terminate the contract or Permit or impose a penalty or additional payment obligations or accelerate any obligation of Seller or Buyer under the contract or Permit; and

(b) all necessary approvals, consents, and waivers required by the contract or Permit have not been obtained on or before the Closing Date in order to avoid the consequences set forth in Section 1.5(a);

then Buyer shall not be obligated to assume the contract or Permit (and if Buyer does not assume the contract or Permit, such contract or Permit shall not be included in the Assigned Contracts, Assigned Permits or the Purchased Assets at Closing); provided, however that Buyer may, at its sole discretion, elect, by written notice to Seller, to assume the obligations and liabilities of Seller under the contract or Permit (to the extent the same would constitute Assumed Liabilities had such contract been included in the Assigned Contracts or Assigned Permits at the Closing) (but not the contract or Permit itself), in which event:

(i) such obligations and liabilities (but not the contract or Permit itself) shall be included in the Assumed Liabilities, the claims, rights, and benefits of Seller arising under the contract or resulting therefrom (but not the contract or Permit itself) shall be included in the Assigned Contracts or Assigned Permits and transferred to Buyer hereunder, and any payments or other benefits received by Seller therefrom after the Closing shall immediately be transferred by Seller to Buyer;

(ii) after the Closing, Seller and Seller Members shall have the continuing obligation to use their commercially reasonable efforts (at their own expense) to obtain all necessary approvals, consents, and waivers to the assignment or transfer of any such unassigned contracts or Permits, and each of the parties shall promptly execute all documents necessary to complete the transfer of the contract or Permit to Buyer if such approvals, consents, and waivers are obtained (whereupon such contract or Permit shall be included in the Assigned Contracts or Assigned Permits, as applicable, and deemed a Purchased Asset for all purposes hereunder); and

(iii) in addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, notwithstanding Seller’s good faith efforts, Seller is unable to obtain the consent to the assignment of a Takedown Contract, Buyer and Seller agree to reasonably cooperate to facilitate the transfer of the Real Property that is the subject of such Assigned Contract by alternative means, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Real Property that is the subject of such Assigned Contract by Seller and subsequent or simultaneous conveyance of such Real Property to Buyer.

1.6 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. From and after the Closing Date, Seller and Seller Members shall, from time to time, at the request of Parent or Buyer and without further consideration do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, and assurances as may be reasonably required to confirm


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 6

the conveyance and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and otherwise give effect to the intent of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING

2.1 Purchase Price.

(a) Subject to such further credits, adjustments and prorations as set forth herein, the aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) is an amount equal to:

(i) the Estimated Equity Value plus $23,250,000 (the “Closing Purchase Price”), as such amount may be adjusted after Closing pursuant to Section 2.2(d); plus

(ii) the Closing Indebtedness; plus

(iii) the Holdback Amount, plus

(iv) any Earn-Out Payments.

(b) At the Closing:

(i) Parent or Buyer will pay in full, on Seller’s behalf, the Closing Indebtedness necessary to cause the release of all Liens on the Purchased Assets, as set forth in payoff letters reasonably acceptable to Buyer; provided, that, Parent may (in its sole discretion) elect to instead assume all or any portion of the Closing Indebtedness;

(ii) Parent or Buyer will pay an amount equal to the Closing Purchase Price to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided to Parent at least two Business Days before the Closing Date; and

(iii) The portion of the Purchase Price represented by the Holdback Amount and any Earn-Out Payments will be retained by Parent and Buyer, with any subsequent payments of such amounts to be made pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 2.5.

2.2 Equity Value; Post-Closing True-Up.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Equity Value” means the total assets of Seller less the total liabilities of Seller (including Indebtedness), in each case to the extent included in the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities and determined in accordance with GAAP, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, (i) assets included in the calculation of Equity Value shall include the amount of any vendor or manufacturer rebates earned by Seller prior to the Effective Time but payable to Buyer thereafter and (ii) liabilities included in the calculation


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 7

of Equity Value shall include those items required by this Agreement to be reflected as liabilities, including pursuant to Sections 2.3, 3.26, and 6.7(c) and 6.8(g).

(b) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will deliver to Parent a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) signed by the Co-Managers of Seller, certifying on behalf of Seller the accuracy and completeness of an unaudited statement of estimated Equity Value (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), which Estimated Closing Statement shall (i) be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes), (ii) set forth Seller’s good faith estimate of Equity Value, as derived from the Estimated Closing Statement and (iii) specifically itemize all outstanding Indebtedness. If requested by Parent, Seller will provide to Parent copies of all relevant documentation used in the preparation of the Closing Certificate and the Estimated Closing Statement. Seller’s good faith estimate of Equity Value included in the Closing Certificate shall be the “Estimated Equity Value,” unless Parent reasonably objects to such estimate, in which case the Seller and Parent will mutually determine the Estimated Equity Value before Closing.

(c) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent will deliver to Seller an unaudited statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s determination of Equity Value (“Closing Equity Value”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes). If Seller disagrees with the calculation of Closing Equity Value, Seller shall, within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Parent setting forth Seller’s calculation of Closing Equity Value and the reasons for Seller’s disagreement with Parent’s calculation. If requested by Seller, Parent will provide to Seller copies of all relevant documentation used in its calculation. If Seller does not deliver the Objection Notice to Parent within 30 days after receipt by Seller of the Closing Statement, the Closing Equity Value will be conclusively presumed to be true and correct in all respects and will be final and binding upon the parties. Seller and Parent will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of the Closing Equity Value, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within 30 days after Parent’s receipt of the Objection Notice, then all amounts remaining in dispute may be submitted to the Neutral Auditor; provided, however, to the extent agreed upon by Seller and Parent, the 30-day period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence may be extended. Parent and Seller will direct the Neutral Auditor to render a determination within 45 days of its retention, and Parent and Seller will cooperate with the Neutral Auditor during its engagement. The Neutral Auditor will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Objection Notice that Parent and Seller are unable to resolve; provided that each of Parent and Seller shall be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Auditor regarding the items and amounts that they are unable to resolve and neither Parent nor Seller will meet or communicate separately with the Neutral Auditor. In making its determination, the Neutral Auditor shall (i) be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definition of Equity Value, and (ii) not assign any value with respect to a disputed amount that is greater than the highest value for such amount claimed by either Seller or Parent or that is less than the lowest value for such amount claimed by either Seller or Parent. The determination of the Neutral Auditor will be conclusive and binding upon the parties. Seller shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of disputed amounts submitted to the Neutral Auditor that are resolved in favor of Parent (that being the difference between the Neutral Auditor’s determination and Seller’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of disputed amounts submitted to the Neutral


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 8

Auditor (that being the sum total by which Parent’s determination and Seller’s determination differ from the determination of the Neutral Auditor). Parent shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor that Seller is not required to pay under this Section 2.2(c).

(d) Within three Business Days following the final determination of Closing Equity Value, (i) if the Estimated Equity Value is greater than the finally determined Closing Equity Value, Seller shall pay Parent an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Equity Value over the finally determined Closing Equity Value, or (ii) if the Estimated Equity Value is less than the finally determined Closing Equity Value, Parent shall pay the amount of such difference to Seller. If the Estimated Equity Value equals the finally determined Closing Equity Value, no disbursement will be required. The Purchase Price automatically will be adjusted to reflect any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(d). The parties intend that any amount payable by Seller hereunder will be paid directly by the Seller, without recourse to the Holdback Amount and, in the event the Seller fails to pay any such amount and the Parent is required to seek recourse against the Holdback Amount, the Seller shall promptly pay such amount to Parent in order to replenish the Holdback Amount. The Seller Members shall be jointly and severally responsible for the timely payment of any amounts due from Seller under this Section 2.2(d).

(e) No interest shall accrue on any amounts payable under Section 2.2(d).

2.3 Closing Indebtedness. The amount of Seller’s Indebtedness as of the Closing is the “Closing Indebtedness” and shall be included as a liability in the calculation of Equity Value. In no event will the Closing Indebtedness exceed an amount that would cause the Closing Purchase Price to be below zero.

2.4 Earn-Out.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings given them below:

(i) “Achievement Percentage” means, for any Earn-Out Period, the quotient of (A) EBIT for such period divided by (B) the Performance Objective for such period.

(ii) “Earn-Out Payment” means, for any Earn-Out Period, (A) if the Achievement Percentage for such period is at least 0.70, an amount equal to (1) the Target Amount multiplied by (2) such Achievement Percentage; and (B) if the Achievement Percentage is less than 0.70, zero (no Earn-Out Payment shall be made for such period).

(iii) “Earn-Out Period” means each of (A) the 2015 calendar year and (B) the 2016 calendar year.

(iv) “EBIT” means aggregate earnings (excluding interest income) of the specific projects set forth on Schedule 2.4(a)(iv) before deduction of interest expenses and income Taxes, as determined in accordance with GAAP as applied by Buyer.


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 9

(v) “Performance Objective” means, for any Earn-Out Period, the EBIT amount listed for such Earn-Out Period on Schedule 2.4(a)(v).

(vi) “Target Amount” means $3.0 million.

(b) On or before the 90^th day following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer (i) a copy of financial statements of Seller relating to the period from January 1, 2015 to the Closing Date, which financial statements shall be in accordance with GAAP applied in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) a report of Seller’s independent public accounting firm confirming that such financial statements were reviewed or audited by it, (iii) a statement of EBIT for the period from January 1, 2015 until the Closing Date, setting forth such calculations in reasonable detail and (iv) a certificate executed each Co-Manager of Seller certifying that such statement of EBIT is true and correct and in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement. If requested by Buyer, Seller will provide Buyer with access to its working papers and all other relevant documentation or information used in preparing such financial statements and such statement of EBIT and will reasonably consider any changes to such statement proposed by Buyer (and, if such changes are agreed, shall issue a revised statement of EBIT for such period). The Seller’s calculation of EBIT pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) (as revised pursuant to the foregoing sentence, if applicable, the “Seller’s Pre-Closing EBIT Calculation”) shall be considered by Buyer in its preparation of the Earn-Out Statement for the 2015 calendar year, but shall not be binding upon Parent or Buyer (it being understood that the entire Earn-Out Statement for such period, including the portion of such period prior to the Closing, will be subject to the review and dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 2.4).

(c) On or before the 90^th day following the end of each Earn-Out Period (an “Earn-Out Payment Date”), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement of the Achievement Percentage for that Earn-Out Period (the “Earn-Out Statement”), setting forth such calculations in reasonable detail. If an Earn-Out Payment is due hereunder in respect of the Earn-Out Period, Buyer shall pay the Earn-Out Payment to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Earn-Out Payment Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.7(b)).

(d) Within 30 days after delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to Seller (during which period Buyer shall provide access to such working papers and information relating to the preparation of the Earn-Out Statement as may be reasonably requested by Seller), Seller may dispute all or a portion of the Earn-Out Statement by giving written notice (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any such dispute. Buyer and Seller shall promptly commence good faith negotiations with a view to resolving all such disputes; provided, that, no Notice of Disagreement may include any objection to the calculation of EBIT for the period from January 1, 2015 until the Closing Date if such calculation of EBIT is equal to or greater than the Seller’s Pre-Closing EBIT Calculation, nor may any Notice of Disagreement propose any change that would result in a calculation of EBIT for such period being greater than the Seller’s Pre-Closing EBIT Calculation. If Seller does not provide a Notice of Disagreement to Buyer within such 30-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Earn-Out Statement in the form delivered by Buyer.


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 10

(e) If Buyer and Seller do not resolve the dispute described in Section 2.4(d) (as evidenced by a written agreement between them) within 30 days following delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, the dispute may be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(c), mutatis mutandis. If, upon resolution of the dispute, additional consideration is due to Seller, Buyer shall pay such amount, without interest, to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after such dispute is resolved. If, upon resolution of the dispute, it is determined that the Earn-Out Payment due is less than the Earn-Out Payment previously paid with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Period, Seller shall pay to Buyer within five Business Days after such dispute is resolved, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount, without interest, equal to such difference.

(f) In accordance with Section 10.7, Buyer may set off against any Earn-Out Payment payable under this Section 2.4 any unpaid amount owed by Seller or any Seller Member to Buyer hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.2 and Article X.

(g) Subsequent to the Closing, Parent and Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Business; provided, however, that for the duration of the Earn-Out Periods, Parent and Buyer covenant and agree that they shall maintain separate records for the Business (to the extent necessary to calculate EBIT) and shall not intentionally take any action for the purposes of reducing or avoiding any Earn-Out Payment. Parent has no obligation to operate the Business in order to achieve any Earn-Out Payment or to maximize the amount of any Earn-Out Payment. In the event Buyer unilaterally elects to materially change the operation of the Business after the Closing as it relates to the projects set forth on Schedule 2.4(a)(iv) and such change materially and adversely affects the ability of the Business to achieve the Performance Objectives, Buyer and Seller Members shall mutually agree on any commercially reasonable modifications to the terms of Section 2.4(a) appropriate in light of such change, taking into account other circumstances including general market conditions and actions of Seller Members. In addition, Buyer may adjust EBIT or the Performance Objectives for material differences in accounting in order to conform to the original basis of the presentation on Schedule 2.4(a)(v).

2.5 Holdback.

(a) To secure the indemnification and other payment obligations of Seller and the Seller Members under this Agreement, Buyer shall withhold from the Purchase Price that would otherwise be payable at Closing an amount equal to $750,000 (the “Holdback Amount”). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer is not required to segregate any monies from its general funds, to create any trust or to make any special deposits with respect to the Holdback Amount.

(b) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount (if any) equal to (i) one-half of the Holdback Amount minus (ii) the amount of all indemnification and other payment claims for which Buyer was entitled to indemnification or payment under this Agreement as of such date, minus (iii) any the amount of all pending indemnification and other payment claims as to which Buyer’s entitlement remains unresolved as of such date (the “Pending Claim Amounts”), minus (iv) a reserve for Home Warranty Obligations remaining as of such date, calculated by Seller in good faith based upon the historical warranty costs of the Business (the “Pending Warranty Amounts”).


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 11

(c) On the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount (if any) equal to (i) the remaining portion of the Holdback Amount minus (ii) the amount of all indemnification and other payment claims for which Buyer was entitled to indemnification or payment under this Agreement as of such date, minus (iii) any Pending Claim Amounts as of such date, minus (iv) the Pending Warranty Amounts as of such date.

(d) Any portion of the Holdback Amount otherwise payable but retained by Buyer with respect to a Pending Claim Amount (less any portion to which Buyer was entitled to indemnification or payment under this Agreement) shall be paid to the Seller promptly, but in no event later than ten Business Days, following the final disposition of such Pending Claim Amount. Any portion of the Holdback Amount otherwise payable but retained by Buyer after the second anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to the Pending Warranty Amounts (less any portion to which Buyer was entitled to indemnification or payment under this Agreement) shall be paid to the Seller promptly, but in no event later than ten Business Days, following the final expiration of all Home Warranty Obligations.

(e) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Holdback Amount will be the first source of funds accessed by Parent or Buyer for the indemnification obligations of the Seller and the Seller Members under Article X, but such Holdback Amount will not be the sole source of funds for such obligations or the other obligations of the Seller, and Parent and Buyer will remain entitled to the full amounts owed to them under this Agreement (if any) should the Holdback Amount be insufficient or unavailable to cover any amount so owed. No interest shall accrue on any amounts payable under this Section 2.5.

2.6 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on (a) July 1, 2015, (b) if the Closing cannot take place on such date because all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII shall not have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), on the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), or (c) at such other date and time as Parent and Seller may mutually agree. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing will be effective as of 12:01 a.m. prevailing local time on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”). The Closing shall be held at the Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP in Charlotte, North Carolina, unless another place is agreed to by Parent and Seller; provided that, to the extent Parent and Seller so agree, documents may be delivered and exchanged at the Closing by facsimile, PDF, or other electronic means.

If any Restricted Party otherwise receives an offer to purchase all or any portion of the Restricted Property or otherwise intends to sell all or any portion of the Restricted Property, in each case on terms and conditions satisfactory to such Restricted Party, then such Restricted Party shall promptly provide written notice to Parent of such Restricted Party’s intent to sell said Restricted Property (each, a “ROFR Notice”; the ROFO Notices and ROFR Notices, collectively, being the “ROFO/ROFR Notices”), which ROFR Notice shall specify the terms, conditions and purchase price offered by the offeror. If Parent desires to accept such offer, within fifteen Business Days after its receipt of the ROFR Notice, Parent shall give the applicable Restricted Party written notice to such effect (each, a “ROFR Acceptance Notice” the ROFO Acceptance Notices and ROFR Acceptance Notices, collectively, being the “ROFO/ROFR Acceptance Notices”).

(iii) Procedures Following Acceptance by Parent. In the event that Parent gives a ROFO/ROFR Acceptance Notice within the specified time period, then the applicable Restricted Party and Parent shall cooperate in good faith, to enter into a purchase agreement within sixty days after the giving of such ROFO/ROFR Acceptance Notice, such purchase agreement to be on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO/ROFR Notice and otherwise substantially in the form of the contracted attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ROFO/ROFR Contract Form”), subject to such mutually agreed modifications as may be reasonably necessary in light of the property, terms and structure of the transaction.

(iv) Procedures Following Non-Acceptance by Parent. In the event that Parent (a) notifies the applicable Restricted Party that it is not interested in acquiring the Restricted Property subject to a ROFO/ROFR Notice or (b) fails to provide a ROFO/ROFR Acceptance Notice within the applicable time period, then such Restricted Parties shall be free to convey the Restricted Property in the applicable


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 43

ROFO/ROFR Notice to any other person at a price no less than 95% of the price set forth in the applicable ROFO/ROFR Notice on other terms and conditions substantially the same as those set forth in the ROFO/ROFR Notice. If, after such non-acceptance, (i) any Restricted Property included in the original applicable ROFO/ROFR Notice is not under contract to sell to a third party within six months after delivery of such ROFO/ROFR Notice and the Restricted Party persists in its desire to sell same, or (ii) the Restricted Party desires to sell any portion of the Restricted Property included in the original applicable ROFO/ROFR Notice at a price that is less than 95% of the price set forth in such original ROFO/ROFR Notice or on other terms and conditions that are not substantially the same as those set forth in such original ROFO/ROFR Notice, then such Restricted Party shall provide Parent with an additional ROFR Notice or ROFO Notice, as applicable, with respect to such Restricted Property and otherwise comply once again with the foregoing provisions in the same manner as provided in this Section 6.6(c); provided, however, that with respect to prospective sales following a ROFO Notice or ROFR Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 6.6(c)(iv), Parent shall deliver its ROFO/ROFR Acceptance Notice to such second ROFO/ROFR Notice within five Business Days after receipt thereof.

(v) Restricted Property. The provisions of this Section 6.6(c) shall apply independently to real property that is reasonably distinguishable (by virtue of its condition, state of development, subdivision, bundling with other real estate, or other factors) from other real property, notwithstanding the fact that the land included in such real properties may overlap or be identical, and each distinguishable real property shall be considered a distinct Restricted Property. For example, buildable lots within a residential community shall be distinct Restricted Property from subdivided but undeveloped lots and from the original raw land, and any proposed sale of such buildable lots will be independently subject to the provisions of this Section 6.6(c) notwithstanding the fact that such real property may previously have been subject to the provisions of this Section 6.6(c) as raw land and as subdivided undeveloped lots. For the avoidance of doubt, the real property relating to Seller’s “Palisades” project (other than developed multi-family projects not otherwise constituting Restricted Property) and the real property received in the exchange transaction contemplated by Section 7.2 shall be Restricted Property subject to this Section 6.6(c).

(d) Equitable Relief. Seller specifically acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 6.6 and similar provisions set forth in the Employment Agreement and any other Seller Ancillary Document are reasonable and necessary to ensure that Parent and Buyer receive the expected benefits of acquiring the Business; (ii) Parent and Buyer have refused to enter into this Agreement in the absence of such provisions; and (iii) breach of such provisions will harm Parent and Buyer to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy and Parent and Buyer would not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach by Seller or any Seller Member of this Section 6.6, the Employment Agreement and any other Seller Ancillary Document, (A) Parent and Buyer (in addition to all other remedies Parent and Buyer may have) will be entitled to seek an injunction and other equitable relief (without posting any bond or other security) restraining Seller from committing or continuing such breach and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and (B) the duration of the Restricted Period will be extended with respect to


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 44

Seller and any breaching Seller Member beyond its then-scheduled termination date for a period equal to the duration of such breach.

6.7 Employee Matters.

(a) Seller shall afford Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates (including Avatar Properties, Inc.) a reasonable opportunity to interview Seller’s employees for prospective employment by Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates if so requested by Parent, and shall not attempt to retain in Seller’s employ any such employees whom Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates desires to hire, or to otherwise interfere with Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ discussions with such employees. Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates shall be entitled (but shall have no obligation) to offer employment to any such person, on terms and conditions established by Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates, to be effective on such date as selected by Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates in their discretion. Seller will furnish to Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates such information in its personnel files as Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates may reasonably request in connection with determining whether to offer employment to any person presently employed by Seller in the Business. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates in ensuring that all such employees who receive an offer of employment from Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates accept such offer on the terms and conditions offered by Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates. Such efforts by Seller shall include immediately informing Parent if Seller learns that any such employee is contemplating declining Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ employment offer and encouraging any such employee to accept Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ employment offer, as applicable. Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates may refrain from offering employment to any person for any reason.

(b) Effective immediately prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate the employment of each person who is employed by Seller in the conduct of the Business and who receives an offer of employment by Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates effective as of the Closing Date. Each such person who accepts such employment is (whether effective at or after the Closing) referred to as a “Transferred Employee.” Except as set forth in an Employment Agreement or other employment agreement duly executed by the applicable employer, such employment shall be “at will.”

(c) Accrued vacation and other paid time off for the Transferred Employees will not be paid to such Transferred Employees but shall instead be reflected as a liability in the calculation of Equity Value and, to the extent so reflected, shall be credited by Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates as a rollover of such accrued paid time off and vacation for such Transferred Employees. Seller shall fully reserve on the Estimated Closing Statement all amounts for accrued vacation and other paid time off for Seller’s employees.

(d) Seller shall be responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to or arising out of the employment, engagement, remuneration, or cessation of employment with Seller of the Transferred Employees (and the dependents of such Transferred Employees), including with respect to all periods prior to and including each such employee’s last day of employment with Seller, except for accrued vacation and other paid time off that is included as a liability in the calculation of Equity Value in accordance with Section 6.7(c). Seller shall pay each Transferred Employee all accrued wages, salary, commission (except for ordinary course commissions not yet due or payable with respect to Retail Sales Contracts closing


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 45

after the Closing, set forth on Section 3.26 of the Seller Disclosure Letter), bonus, and other employee compensation and benefits (except for accrued vacation and other paid time off that is included as a liability in the calculation of Equity Value in accordance with Section 6.7(c)) related to employment with Seller for all periods through the date of termination of each such employee’s employment with Seller in a timely fashion and not later than the date such payment is required by law or the provisions of any benefit plan or contract under which such compensation is or becomes duly payable. In addition, for each Transferred Employee, Seller shall pay or provide for all Employee Benefit Plans and other employee benefits maintained by Seller for all periods prior to the termination of each such employee’s employment with Seller, all in accordance with Applicable Law.

(e) Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates shall cause employee benefits to be made available to each Transferred Employee eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ employee benefit plans, as applicable; provided, however, that Parent may elect to instead continue certain employee benefit plans provided under third party contracts and, in such case, Seller will cooperate to effect the transfer of such third party contracts. Service with Seller prior to the Closing Date will generally be recognized as if it had been service with Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates, as applicable, for purposes of determining eligibility for Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ insured medical, dental, life insurance, and other insured welfare benefit plans, and for purposes of determining eligibility and the amount of vacation or paid time off under Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ vacation or paid time off policies (in each case subject to Applicable Laws and the terms of such plans and policies), but will not be recognized for any other purposes under these plans or for any purposes under any of Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ other benefit plans, programs, policies, or arrangements.

(f) Seller and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to identify any potential plant closing, mass layoff, reduction in force, or other similar event requiring notice pursuant to the WARN Act or any similar state or local regulation, with respect to the employees of the Business in connection with the consummation of the transactions on the Closing Date. Parent shall have the opportunity to review and approve any notice or employee communication or other communication provided under this section. Seller shall comply with the notice requirements and all other provisions of the WARN Act and any similar state or local regulation with respect to any event occurring at or prior to the Closing and with respect to any employees of the Business who are not hired by Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates, whether such event occurs prior, at, or after the Closing, and shall be responsible for all liabilities and obligations in connection therewith, including any claims or demands arising from Parent, Buyer or their Affiliates’ review of Seller’s employees and their decision not to offer employment to an employee, and any severance amounts to which employees may be entitled to under any severance pay plan of Seller in effect on the Closing Date.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall remain responsible for liabilities, including payment of all wages, salary, commission, bonus, vacation and other paid time off, and other employee compensation and benefits for all periods, with respect to employees of Seller who do not become Transferred Employees, and shall satisfy all obligations imposed by Applicable Law (including COBRA) relating to health and other benefit continuation privileges of any employee or former employee (or dependent of such an employee) of Seller, whether terminated by Seller incident to the Closing or otherwise.

Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.8 are limited to receiving and processing requests from such customers for warranty service pursuant to the Home Warranty Obligations and coordinating the delivery of warranty service for the account of Seller in accordance with this Section 6.8.

(b) The Home Warranty Obligations remain liabilities of the Seller, and in no event shall any of Parent, Buyer or any of their Affiliates have any responsibility or liability for the Home Warranty Obligations (except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.8(b) with respect to the warranty reserve and Warranty Threshold). The costs of satisfying any Home Warranty Obligations shall be satisfied by recourse to, in order, (i) any applicable insurance policy purchased by Seller, then (ii) any warranties provided by third party contracts, then (iii) the warranty reserve existing on the balance sheet of Seller as of the Closing Date, to the extent reflected as a liability in the final calculation of Equity Value, then (iv) subject to the Warranty Threshold, (A) the Holdback Amount, then (B) an offset against any earned but unpaid Earn-Out Payment, then (C) by Seller or the Seller Members.

(c) Parent, Buyer and their Affiliates shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement from Seller of all costs and expenses incurred by any of them in connection with the provision of warranty administration services, including a reasonable allocation of their overhead expenses, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collecting insurance proceeds and/or enforcing warranties under third party contracts, all costs and expenses incurred for any repair or service work, and any payments made to satisfy Home Warranty Obligations.

Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 47

partnership, joint venture, agency, trust or other association of any kind, each party being individually responsible only for its obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an employment relationship between Seller and the employees of Buyer engaged in providing the warranty administration services.

(g) The calculation of Equity Value shall include as a liability an appropriate accrual, consistent with industry practice and the historical claims experience of Seller, adequately reflecting the amount of the Home Warranty Obligations.

6.9 Substitution of Collateral. For and at the Closing, or promptly thereafter, Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure the unconditional release and, as appropriate, return to Seller any Business Collateral, in each case to the extent pertaining to any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, but not meaning any such collateral that is a Purchased Asset).

6.10 Name Change. As soon as practicable, but in any event within five Business Days after the Closing, Seller will, and, if applicable, will cause each of its Affiliates to (a) amend its articles of organization, and take all other actions necessary, to change its name and all names under which it does business to a name that does not include the words “Bonterra” and that does not otherwise imply any affiliation with Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, and (b) give to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of the filings with the applicable Governmental Authorities showing that such name changes occurred. Buyer may change its name after the Closing to “Bonterra Builders, LLC” or to otherwise include the words “Bonterra” in Buyer’s name, and Seller will and, if applicable, will cause each of its Affiliates to, execute and deliver any written consent or other documentation that may be required by the North Carolina Secretary of State or other Governmental Authority to facilitate such name change by Buyer. Neither Seller nor any Seller Member (except in a Seller Member’s capacity as an employee of an Affiliate of Parent) will use a name after the date hereof that includes the word “Bonterra” or that otherwise implies any affiliation with Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, including on letterhead or other correspondence, employee business cards, accounts or signage.

6.11 Home Design Plans. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, from each Person who contributed to the creation or development of, or otherwise has any rights to, any of the Purchased Intellectual Property (including architectural, building, and engineering designs, drawings, specifications, plans used by Seller), documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, confirming the rights of Seller (and, after the Closing, the Buyer) to use such Intellectual Property.

TAX MATTERS

7.1 Property Taxes; Transfer Taxes.

(a) In the case of real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, and special assessments relating to the Purchased Assets, Seller shall pay, on or prior to the Closing Date, all such taxes and installments of special assessments payable with respect to any year prior to the year of Closing. Taxes for the year of Closing shall be pro-rated. Real estate Taxes and personal property Taxes for the year of Closing shall be prorated on the following basis: (i) if a Tax xxxx for the year of Closing is available, then proration shall be based upon the current xxxx; (ii) if the assessment for the year is available, but not the actual Tax xxxx, then proration shall be based upon the assessment; or (iii) if neither the assessment for the year nor the Tax xxxx is available, then proration shall be based upon the prior year’s Tax xxxx. If Tax statements for any Purchased Assets are sent directly to Seller by a Tax authority or other Governmental Authority after the Closing Date, Seller shall cause such statements to be forwarded promptly to Buyer. Certified municipal non ad valorem liens and pending municipal liens for which work has been substantially completed as of the Closing shall be paid by the Seller and any other pending liens shall be assumed by the Buyer, provided that if any such non ad valorem assessment liens relate to special taxing districts for municipal services that are payable in installments, then the Seller shall only be responsible for the installment currently payable which shall be prorated in the same manner as taxes. At the Closing, the foregoing items shall be prorated and adjusted as indicated. If subsequent to the Closing Taxes for the year of Closing are determined to be higher or lower than as prorated, a reproration and adjustment will be made at the request of Buyer or Seller upon presentation of actual tax bills, and any payment required as a result of the reproration shall be made within 10 Business Days following demand therefor. This provision shall survive the Closing.

(b) Seller shall pay all transfer, documentary, conveyancing, or similar Taxes, charges or expenses (including transfer fees, capital contributions, capital improvement fees and other fees or charges payable under CCRs, whether payable to Associations or otherwise) and all recording fees that may be imposed as a result of the sale and transfer of the Real Property under this Agreement (collectively, “Real Estate Transfer Taxes”). Buyer and Seller shall jointly agree on the valuation of the Real Property to the extent that valuations are


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 49

needed for purposes of determining the amount of Real Estate Transfer Taxes prior to the Closing. If a party disagrees with respect to a proposed valuation, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the issue prior to the Closing. If payment of a Real Estate Transfer Tax is due prior to any such resolution, payment shall be made based on Seller’s valuation and, upon resolution, Seller shall make such corrective filings with the appropriate Governmental Authority and shall pay any additional, and shall be entitled to any refund of, any Real Estate Transfer Tax resulting from such corrective filings. The Seller shall remain ultimately responsible for the valuation of the Real Property used in the Real Estate Transfer Tax filings, and shall ensure that such valuation complies with Applicable Laws relating thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, such valuations are solely for the purposes of determining the amount of Real Estate Transfer Taxes, and none of Parent, Buyer or any of their affiliates shall be bound by such valuations for any purpose.

(c) Seller shall pay all sales, use, value-added, business, goods and services, transfer, documentary, conveyancing or similar Taxes, charges or expenses and all recording fees that may be imposed as a result of the sale and transfer of the Business or the Assets to Buyer under this Agreement, other than the Real Estate Transfer Taxes. Seller will prepare, subject to Parent’s reasonable approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of such Taxes, provided that Parent may elect to prepare and file any such Tax Returns that are the primary responsibility of Buyer under Applicable Laws. Parent’s preparation of any such Tax Returns will be subject to Seller’s reasonable approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller and Parent will reasonably cooperate with each other to share information reasonably necessary for the preparation of those Tax Returns and any Tax clearance certificates that either Seller or Parent may request.

7.2 1031 Exchange. Buyer acknowledges that Seller intends to perform a tax-deferred exchange transaction pursuant to Tax Code Section 1031 the Treasury Regulations thereunder with respect to certain of the Purchased Assets. Schedule 7.2 lists the properties that Seller intends to include in such exchange transaction and the portion of the aggregate Purchase Price that Seller has assigned to such properties for such purposes (it being understood that none of Parent, Buyer or any of their affiliates shall be bound by such valuations for any purpose). Seller requests Buyer’s reasonable cooperation in such exchange transaction and agrees to hold Buyer harmless from any and all Damages relating thereto. Buyer consents to the assignment of the portion of the Purchase Price relating to such exchange transaction, as set forth on Schedule 7.2, to Seller’s qualified intermediary and will deliver such portion of the Purchase Price to Seller’s qualified intermediary in accordance with wire instructions provided by Seller. Notwithstanding such assignment, Seller shall remain liable for performance of all its obligations hereunder.

7.3 Income and Franchise Taxes. Nothing in this Agreement makes a party liable for the income or franchise Taxes of the other party.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time (with respect to Sections 9.1(b) through 9.1(e), by written notice by the terminating party to the other party):

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and Seller;

(b) by either Parent or Seller if Closing has not occurred by July 15, 2015, (the “Outside Date”), provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date;

(c) by either Parent or Seller if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 55

nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(d) by Parent if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) not to be satisfied, and (ii) shall not have been cured within 15 days following receipt by Seller of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Parent; or

(e) by Seller, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Buyer set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b) not to be satisfied, and (ii) shall not have been cured within 15 days following receipt by Parent of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Seller.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Buyer, Seller, Seller Members or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates; provided that (a) any such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any intentional or willful breach of this Agreement and (b) the provisions of Sections 6.5 (Confidentiality), 9.3 (Fees and Expenses), this Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination) and Article XI (Miscellaneous) of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

9.3 Termination Fee. If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such termination is solely as a result of the failure of Parent to obtain the Financing (such that only the condition set forth in Section 8.2(k) is not satisfied or waived), then the parties agree that Seller shall have suffered a loss of an incalculable nature and amount, unrecoverable in law, and Buyer shall pay to Seller a fee of $1,000,000.00 (the “Buyer Termination Fee”), it being understood that in no event shall Buyer be required to pay the Buyer Termination Fee on more than one occasion. The Buyer Termination Fee shall be payable in immediately available funds by wire transfer no later than 10 Business Days after such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller’s right to receive payment of the Buyer Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller, Seller Members or any of their Affiliates against Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective stockholders, partners, members or representatives for any and all losses that may be suffered based upon, resulting from or arising out of the circumstances giving rise to such termination, and upon payment of the Buyer Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 9.3, none of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective stockholders, partners, members or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.4 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 7.1, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, any transaction commission due to Builder Advisory Group or Xxxx Xxxxx will be borne by Seller or Seller Members and not Parent or Buyer.


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 56

9.5 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Parent, Buyer and Seller.

9.6 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Such extension or waiver shall not be deemed to apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the extension or waiver. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 57

10.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Procedure for Claims. A Person entitled to indemnification under this Article X (an “Indemnified Party”) wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article X (a “Claim”) shall deliver to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) that (i) states in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for the Damages claimed, (ii) states the amount (the “Claim Amount”) of any Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party, to the extent then known, (iii) states that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article X and set forth a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iv) includes a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claim Amount, (B) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claim Amount, or (C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claim Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claim Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.10.

(b) Third-Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to, or arising out of a third-party claim shall be subject to the following additional procedures and provisions. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action, suit, or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim or demand by a third party. Such notification shall (i) state in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such third-party claim, (ii) state the sections of this Agreement with respect to which indemnification is being claimed for such Damages and that the Indemnified Party if entitled to indemnification under this Article X, and (iii) state the amount of the Damage being claimed. Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding, or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any action, suit, proceeding, or claim that seeks non-monetary relief or criminal penalties. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding, or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 58

considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one additional counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall (A) keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding, or claim and the defense thereof, (B) provide the other party with reasonable access to all relevant information and documentation relating to the claim and the prosecution or defense thereof, and (C) consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(c) Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All indemnity payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

10.4 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Seller, Seller Members, Parent, and Buyer set forth in this Agreement (other than Fundamental Representations) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”), at which time they shall expire.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Fundamental Representations shall survive until the date that is 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the subject matter thereof.

(c) The covenants and other agreements of each party set forth in this Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(d) If an indemnification claim under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as the case may be, is properly asserted under Section 10.3 prior to the Survival Date or other applicable survival date, then the related representation and warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.

10.5 Limitations and Other Terms.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate liability of Seller and Seller Members for Damages under Section 10.1(a) shall not exceed $8 million (the “Cap”), and (ii) Seller and Seller Members shall not be liable under Section 10.1(a) unless and until the aggregate Damages for all claims under such section equal or exceed an amount equal to $150,000 in the aggregate (the “Threshold”), at which xxxx Xxxxxx and Seller Members shall be liable for all such Damages (including those equal to or less than the Threshold); provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 10.5(a) shall not apply to a claim arising out of a breach of a Fundamental Representation or any representation that was fraudulently made.


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 59

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate liability of Parent for Damages under Section 10.2(a) shall not exceed the Cap, and (ii) Parent shall not be liable under Section 10.2(a) unless and until the aggregate Damages for all claims under such section equal or exceed Threshold, at which time Parent shall be liable for all such Damages (including those equal to or less than the Threshold); provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 10.5(b) shall not apply to a claim arising out of a breach of a Fundamental Representation or any representation that was fraudulently made.

(c) For purposes of this Article X, the representations and warranties of each of Seller, Parent, and Buyer in this Agreement (other than Section 3.6(a)) and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed not to include any Materiality Qualifiers.

(d) No right or obligation under this Article X will be waived or otherwise affected by any knowledge (of any form or type) of Parent or Buyer or by any investigation, due diligence, or verification by or on behalf of Parent or Buyer. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements herein will be deemed material and relied upon by each party, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or by consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

(e) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(f) Except with respect to claims for equitable relief and except with respect to claims of fraud, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates for a breach of this Agreement from and after the Effective Time.

10.6 Allocation of Liability Among Seller Members.

(a) Allocation of Liability Among Seller Members. Seller shall be liable for the full amount of any indemnification obligations under this Article X. The individual liability of any Seller Member for any Claim under this Article X shall be limited to such Seller Member’s Pro Rata Portion thereof, unless such Claim arises from (i) a breach of a representation or warranty relating specifically to such Seller Member or (ii) a failure by such Seller Member to perform any covenant or agreement applicable to him (an “Individual Claim”).

(b) Contribution. If any Seller Member pays (or becomes obligated to pay) any indemnification under this Article X (other than an Individual Claim) and such payment is not paid (or is not allocated to be paid) by all Seller Members in proportion to each Seller Member’s Pro Rata Portion thereof, then each Seller that paid (or was allocated) less than such Seller Member’s Pro Rata Portion promptly will contribute immediately available funds to each Seller Member that paid (or was allocated) more than its Pro Rata Portion such that, after making such contribution payments, each Seller Member will have paid its Pro Rata Portion of such indemnification. This Section 10.6(b) contains covenants and agreements by and among Seller Members only. Buyer will have no right or liability under or in connection with this Section 10.6(b).


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 60

10.7 Set-Off; First Recourse to Holdback Amount and Earn-Out Payment.

(a) Parent and Buyer will have the right to set off and retain any unpaid amount owed by Seller or any Seller Member to Parent or Buyer under this Agreement or otherwise, including pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 6.8 and Article X, against any amount payable by Parent or Buyer to Seller or such Seller Member, including the Holdback Amount and any Earn-Out Payments. The exercise of or failure to exercise such right of set off will not constitute an election of remedies or limit in any manner the enforcement of any other remedy that may be available to Parent or Buyer.

(b) The Holdback Amount and the Earn-Out Payment shall be Parent and Buyer’s primary, but non-exclusive, sources of recovery for any indemnification claims for which Parent or Buyer may be entitled to payment under this Article X. Accordingly, before seeking recourse directly from Seller or the Seller Members for any monetary claim for indemnification under this Article X, Parent and Buyer shall seek to satisfy such claim (i) first, by recourse to the Holdback Amount, then (ii) if and to the extent any Earn-Out Payment has been earned and is payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4 at the time of the final determination of such claim, by a dollar-for-dollar offset against such Earn-Out Payment. As a consequence of the foregoing, upon delivery of a Claim Notice by Parent or Buyer to Seller, Buyer’s obligations to pay any portion of the Holdback Amount and any Earn-Out Payment shall be suspended to the extent (but only to the extent) of the amount specified in such Claim Notice until the matter set forth in the Claim Notice is fully resolved. No interest will accrue on the Holdback Amount or the Earn-Out Payment during this period or at any other time.

11.2 Entire Agreement . This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

11.3 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article X, this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

11.4 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, Buyer may assign all of its rights, interests and obligations to Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent without any such consent. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.5 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

11.6 Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and the signature pages by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

11.7 Interpretation. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereby” and similar words are used in this Agreement, they refer to this Agreement as a whole (and not to the particular sentence, paragraph or Section


Bonterra Builders Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 63

where they appear). The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. Any reference to any Applicable Law means such Applicable Law as amended, modified, codified, replaced or reenacted, in whole or in part, and as in effect from time to time, and shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Unless expressly stated herein to the contrary, reference in this Agreement to any document means such document as amended, modified or supplemented and as in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The word “or” is used in the sense of “and/or”; “any” is used in the sense of “any or all”; and “with respect to” any item includes the concept “of,” “under” or “regarding” such item or any similar relationship regarding such item. No summary of this Agreement prepared by any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and any controversy related to, arising directly or indirectly out of, caused by, or resulting from this shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware.

11.9 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

11.10 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties to this Agreement (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.1. Nothing in this Section 11.10, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

11.11 Seller Disclosure Letter. Seller Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in Sections corresponding to the numbered Sections contained in Article III, and the disclosure in any Section shall qualify (a) the corresponding Section in Article III, and (b) the other Sections in Article III, to the extent that it is apparent from a reading of such disclosure that it also qualifies or applies to such other Sections. The inclusion of any information in Seller Disclosure Letter, or in any update thereto, shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business. From time to time following the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, by written notice thereof delivered to Parent, supplement the Seller Disclosure Letter relating to any representation or warranty set forth in Article III that expressly requires a listing of certain items on a specific section of the Seller Disclosure Letter (any such supplement, a “Disclosure Letter Update”); provided, however, that such Disclosure Letter Update shall in no event be deemed to cure or limit the rights or remedies of Parent or Buyer with respect to the failure of any representations and warranties in Article III to be true and correct with or without giving effect to such Disclosure Letter Update (including Section 8.2 and Article X of this Agreement).

11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of Parent, Buyer, Seller and Seller Members hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this agreement or the actions of Parent, Buyer, Seller and Seller Members in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof.
