PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.1 Closing Estimates; Closing Adjustments. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (A) a good faith estimated calculation of (1) the WC Overage Amount, if any (the “Estimated WC Overage Amount”), or the WC Underage Amount, if any (the “Estimated WC Underage Amount”), (2) the Closing Indebtedness Amount (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount”), and (3) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), and (B) the resulting calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be determined in accordance with, and using, the accounting principles, practices, procedures, methodologies, policies, classifications, judgments, and valuation and estimation methodologies as the Seller and the Purchaser have agreed upon and set forth in writing, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Accounting Methodology”).

Section 2.2 Post-Closing Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) Closing Statement. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth its calculation of (i) the WC Overage Amount, if any (the “Final WC Overage Amount”), or the WC Underage Amount, if any (the “Final WC Underage Amount”), (ii) the Closing Indebtedness Amount (the “Final Closing Indebtedness Amount”), (iii) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Final Closing Cash Amount”), and (iv) the Final Closing Purchase Price (collectively, the “Closing Calculations”), computed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Review and Objection of Closing Statement. After receipt of the Closing Statement, the Seller shall have forty-five (45) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing

Statement. If the Seller notifies the Purchaser of its acceptance of the Closing Statement, or if the Seller does not deliver to the Purchaser written notice of any objections to the Closing Calculations as proposed by the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Closing Calculations set forth in the Closing Statement shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. If the Seller has any objections to the determination of the Closing Calculations, then the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser written notice of such objections, in reasonable detail, including each disputed item or amount and the Seller’s basis for disagreement therewith, and the Seller’s calculation of such item or amount (the “Objection Notice”), prior to the expiration of the Review Period, provided that matters included in the calculations in the Closing Statement to which the Seller does not object, and which are not directly affected by any disputed item set forth in the Objection Notice, shall be deemed accepted by the Seller and shall not be subject to further dispute or review. Any Objection Notice may reference only disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Closing Calculations, as reflected on the Closing Statement, not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that the Seller may provide an Objection Notice on the basis that it has not been provided with adequate information to understand and evaluate the differences between the Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement.

(i) Selection of Accountants. The Seller and the Purchaser shall use their respective good faith efforts to resolve the objections set forth in the Objection Notice, and any such resolution between them shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto and shall be evidenced by a written agreement to that effect. However, if the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to resolve in writing such objections within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Objection Notice, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit the issues and the amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”) to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or such other internationally recognized firm of independent accountants mutually acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Accountants”) for final resolution (but in no event to any firm that is then the current auditor of the Seller, the Purchaser or their respective Affiliates). The Accountants shall serve as experts, not arbitrators. Each party agrees to promptly execute a reasonable and customary engagement letter with the Accountants, if requested to do so by the Accountants.

(ii) Process of Accountants. The Seller and the Purchaser shall each furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other supporting documentation relating to the Disputed Amounts as the parties deem appropriate or as the Accountants may reasonably request and as are available to such parties, and the Seller and the Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants; provided, that neither party shall meet with the Accountants without representatives of the other present. The Accountants shall determine, based solely on the provisions of this Agreement and the presentations by the Seller and the Purchaser, and not by independent review, the appropriate amounts with respect to the Disputed Amounts (and only such matters). The

Accountants shall consider only those Disputed Amounts in the Purchaser’s and the Seller’s respective Closing Calculations that are identified as being Disputed Amounts and amounts to which the Purchaser and the Seller have been unable to agree. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accountants shall be limited to correcting mathematical errors and determining whether the items and amounts in dispute were determined in accordance with the Accounting Methodology and the terms of this Agreement, and the Accountants are not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether the Target WC Amount or any estimates on the Estimated Closing Statement are correct, adequate or sufficient. The Accountants shall be instructed to use their reasonable best efforts to make their determination in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after being engaged, and such determination made by the Accountants shall be set forth in a writing delivered to each party with a reasonably detailed explanation thereof and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Accountants, in making their determination of the Disputed Amounts, shall not assign a value thereto greater than the greatest value claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value claimed by either party. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accountants in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. This Section 2.2 shall be the sole method and remedy for resolving any disputes between the parties with respect to the determination of the Closing Calculations. The determination of the Accountants shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and shall not be subject to appeal or further review.

(iii) Fees of Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Accountants incurred in connection with any dispute resolution pursuant to Section 2.2(c) shall be borne by the Purchaser, on one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountants, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Accountants at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accountants in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(d) Access to Relevant Books and Records. The Purchaser shall provide the Seller and its agents full access during regular business hours to the applicable personnel, books, records and accounts of the Target Companies used in connection with determining the Closing Calculations and to the Target Companies’ work papers and back-up materials reasonably related to the preparation of the Closing Statement, as the Seller may reasonably request upon reasonable notice during the Review Period, and with respect to any Disputed Amount after the Review Period until final resolution thereof; provided, that such access shall only be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Target Companies.

(e) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Adjustment Amount” means an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (A) the Final Closing Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.2, minus (B) the Estimated Purchase Price.

(ii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, to the bank account designated in writing by the Seller, an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount.

(iii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the “Net Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this clause (iii) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser, to the bank account designated in writing by the Purchaser, an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount.

(f) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment; Exclusive Remedy. Amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(e) shall be made promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the final determination of the Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2 by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 2.3 Earnout.

(a) Earnout Payment.

(i) The Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an Earnout Payment if the Windows Companies generate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Windows EBITDA”) with respect to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 (the “Earnout Period”) in excess of the Windows EBITDA milestone amount set forth on Schedule 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Earnout Target”).

(ii) To the extent that the Windows EBITDA exceeds the Earnout Target, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the difference between the Windows EBITDA and the Earnout Target multiplied by 10, subject to a maximum of $65,000,000 (the “Earnout Payment”). Schedule 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth the methodology on how the Windows EBITDA shall be determined (the “Windows EBITDA Methodology”). For the avoidance of doubt, numerical examples of the Earnout Payment payable at various Windows EBITDA levels are set forth on Schedule 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) there shall be no carryforward of Windows EBITDA from any period prior to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 in the determination of whether the Earnout Target was met and (ii) in no event will the Earnout Payment exceed $65,000,000.

(iv) The Seller shall not be entitled to any interest on the Earnout Payment.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Earnout Payment shall be allocated among the Seller and the Other Sellers such that each of the Seller and each Other Seller receives a percentage of such Earnout Payment in accordance with the allocation set forth in Exhibit D.

(b) Earnout Procedure.

(i) On or prior to September 30, 2024, the Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, a computation of (a) the Windows EBITDA for the Earnout Period and (b) the Earnout Payment, if any (the “Earnout Report”).

(ii) The Purchaser shall, solely for the purpose of the Seller’s review of the Earnout Report, make its relevant books and records, as reasonably requested by Seller, available for inspection by the Seller, at all reasonable times during normal business hours.

(iii) If, within thirty (30) days following delivery to the Seller of the Earnout Report, the Seller does not deliver to the Purchaser written notice of any objections to the computation of Windows EBITDA in the Earnout Report (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis of the Seller’s objection) (the “Earnout Objection Notice”), then the Windows EBITDA as computed by the Purchaser shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Seller may provide an Earnout Objection Notice on the basis that it has not been provided with adequate information to understand and evaluate the Earnout Report.

(iv) If the Seller timely gives the Purchaser an Earnout Objection Notice, and if the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to resolve in writing the objections set forth in the Earnout Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Earnout Objection Notice, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit the issues remaining in dispute for resolution to the Accountants for final resolution.

(v) The Accountants shall consider only those issues that remain in dispute and make their determination with respect to the Earnout Report as promptly as practical, but no later than thirty (30) days after being engaged. Such determination made by the Accountants shall follow the Windows EBITDA Methodology and shall be set forth in a writing delivered to each party with a reasonably detailed explanation thereof. The Accountants shall determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 2.3 and Schedule 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, including the Windows EBITDA Methodology, and the presentations by the Seller and the Purchaser, and not by independent review, the Windows EBITDA. The Accountants, in making their determination of the Windows EBITDA, shall not assign a value thereto greater than the greatest value claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value claimed by either party. The determination of the Accountants shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review.

(vi) If the computation of Windows EBITDA for the Earnout Period is submitted to the Accountants for resolution:

(A) The Seller and the Purchaser shall each furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other supporting documentation relating to the disputed issues as the parties deem appropriate or as the Accountants may reasonably request and as are available to such parties or its accountants or other representatives.

(B) The fees and expenses of the Accountants incurred in connection with any dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be allocated to the Purchaser if the Accountants’ computation of Windows EBITDA is greater than that contained in the Earnout Report prepared by the Purchaser and otherwise shall be allocated to the Seller.

(vii) Except as otherwise provided herein, the payment of the Earnout Payment, if any, to the Seller shall be due within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Earnout Report pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller.

Section 2.4 Withholding. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement any amounts required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Law with respect to such payment; provided, except in the case of withholding on amounts that constitute compensation under applicable Law, before making any such deduction or withholding, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least five (5) days prior notice of such deduction or withholding to the Seller and reasonably cooperate with the Seller to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the relevant Governmental Authority by the Purchaser, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect to which such deduction and withholding were made.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the Closing conditions set forth in Article 7). Each of the parties hereto shall use its best efforts to obtain consents of all Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In connection with, and without limiting the foregoing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall (i) file as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the execution of this Agreement) with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) the notification and report form required under the HSR Act (the “HSR Filings”) with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) make, as promptly as practicable, all notifications and other filings required under any other applicable Merger Control Law (together with the HSR Filings, the “Antitrust Filings”).

(b) The Seller and the Purchaser will promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any communication from the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Authority regarding the transaction. If the Seller or the Purchaser (or any of their respective Affiliates) receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Authority that is related to the transaction, then such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response to such request. The Seller and the Purchaser agree not to participate, or to permit their Affiliates or representatives to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it so consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate duly represented by its external counsel. Each party will advise the other party promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which the first party proposes to make or enter into with the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Authority in connection with the transaction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party will, unless the parties otherwise agree, use all best efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted with respect to the transaction under any Merger Control Law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the matters covered in this Section 6.4, it is agreed that the Purchaser shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall consult in advance with the Seller and in good faith take the Seller’s views into account regarding the overall strategic direction of obtaining antitrust or competition clearance and consult with the Seller prior to taking any material substantive position in any written position, or, to the extent practicable, discussions with any Governmental Authority. The Seller shall not make any offer, acceptance or

counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions with any Governmental Authority with respect to any substantive proposed settlement, consent decree, commitment or remedy, except as specifically requested by or agreed with the Purchaser.

(d) To the extent necessary in order to obtain the requisite Authorizations of Governmental Authorities, the Purchaser shall propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect), by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, assignment or disposition of such assets or businesses of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, or effective as of the Closing Date, the Target Companies, or otherwise offer to take or offer to commit to take any action which it is lawfully capable of taking and if the offer is accepted, take or commit to take such action, in each case, as may be required in order to avoid the commencement of any Action by any Governmental Authority to prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the basis of the Merger Control Laws, or if already commenced, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order issued or imposed on the basis of the Merger Control Laws so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event, not later than the End Date. The Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in or otherwise make any investment in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire or make any investment in any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or investment would reasonably be expected to (A) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any consent, approval, authorization, declaration, waiver, license, franchise, permit, certificate or Order of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (B) increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (C) materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) In addition, neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall extend any waiting period under any applicable Merger Control Laws or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transaction, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Purchaser and the Seller shall also refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action which would impair or frustrate any party’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Public Announcements. Subject to Section 6.4, the Seller and the Purchaser will consult with each other upon the content and timing of any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall, and each shall cause its Affiliates and its and their representatives not to, issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, except as may be required by applicable Law or rules or other requirements of any applicable stock

exchange (including the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)).

Section 6.6 Confidentiality. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2021 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between the parties thereto and the obligations of the parties thereunder shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 6.7 Exclusivity. The Seller agrees that neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives or other agents shall, directly or indirectly, during the period commencing upon execution and delivery of this Agreement and ending on the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement (the “Exclusivity Period”): (a) solicit, encourage, or facilitate a Takeover Proposal with respect to any of the Target Companies; or (b) discuss with or enter into conversations with any Person concerning any Takeover Proposal.

Section 6.8 R&W Insurance Policy.

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the R&W Insurance Policy is not a condition to the Closing and the Purchaser shall remain obligated, subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 7, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall take all action reasonably necessary to bind the R&W Insurance Policy. The Purchaser shall execute and enter into the R&W Insurance Policy at or prior to the Closing on material terms and substantially in the form provided or made available to the Seller within five (5) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, which such policy shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include terms to the effect that the R&W Insurer waives its rights to bring any claim against any Seller Released Party by way of subrogation, claim for contribution or otherwise, other than claims by way of subrogation against the Seller to the extent that the relevant Losses arose out of Fraud.

(b) After the Closing, the Purchaser agrees that it shall:

(i) comply with the terms of any post-Closing deliverables set out in the R&W Insurance Policy;

(iii) not novate, or otherwise assign its rights under, the R&W Insurance Policy (or do anything which has similar effect);

(iv) not terminate the R&W Insurance Policy or do anything which causes any right under the R&W Insurance Policy not to have full force and effect; and

(v) ensure that the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy provide that no insurer or Person claiming through an insurer in relation to the R&W Insurance Policy brings any claim against any Seller Released Party by way of subrogation (other than with respect to Fraud), claim for contribution or otherwise.

Section 6.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Solely for purposes of this Section 6.9, references to “Employees” shall include both Employees and Transition Employees who accept offers of employment made by Purchaser, a Target Company or any Affiliate. For a period commencing on the Closing and ending on the one (1)-year anniversary of the Closing Date (or until the termination of the relevant Employee if sooner), the Purchaser shall provide the Employees with (i) base salary or wage rate and bonus (cash or equity) and other cash compensation opportunities that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the base salary or wage rate and bonus and other cash compensation opportunities as in effect with respect to each such Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) employee benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to the Employees under the Employee Plans immediately prior to Closing (including severance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided under the Employee Plans immediately prior to Closing); provided, however, that no defined benefit pension, post-retirement medical, nonqualified deferred compensation, retention, change-in-control or other special or non-recurring compensation or benefits provided prior to the Closing shall be taken into account for purposes of Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6.9. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be responsible for any severance payable for the termination of any Employee on the Closing Date or thereafter and Seller shall be responsible for any severance payable for the termination of any Employee prior to the Closing Date. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.9 or as may be specifically required by this Agreement, any CBA or by applicable Law, the Purchaser shall not be obligated to continue to provide any particular type of employee benefits or compensation to any Employee.

(b) The Employees shall receive credit to the same extent and for the same purposes as such credit was provided under an analogous Seller Plan prior to the Closing Date for all periods of employment with the Target Companies prior to the Closing Date (including with any predecessor employers where such service was recognized by the Target Companies)

for purposes of eligibility, vesting and with respect to determining level of vacation and severance benefits under any employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements that are maintained by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which the Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing Date, to the same extent as if such service had been performed for the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent that recognition of such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the Target Companies do not maintain the corresponding existing Business Plans, the Purchaser shall, during the plan year in which the Closing occurs, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause each Employee to be eligible to participate, without any waiting period or gap in coverage, in any welfare benefit plans of the Purchaser or its Affiliates providing benefits to any Employee on or after the Closing Date (the “Purchaser Health and Welfare Plans”), (ii) to cause such Purchaser Health and Welfare Plans to waive all preexisting condition exclusions, eligibility waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health with respect to participation and coverage requirements for each Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived or satisfied under the comparable Seller Plan in which such Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) cause any eligible expenses paid by such Employee and his or her covered dependents under a comparable Employee Plan during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs and ending on the date Employee begins participating in such Purchaser Health and Welfare Plans to be taken into account under such Purchaser Health and Welfare Plans that constitute group health plans for purposes of satisfying all deductibles, coinsurance payments, co-payments and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the terms and conditions of employment for any employees covered by a CBA shall be governed by the applicable CBA and the Purchaser shall cause the Target Companies to honor the terms of such CBA until such CBA otherwise expires pursuant to its terms or is modified by the parties thereto or in accordance with applicable Law.

(d) To the extent the Target Companies do not maintain the corresponding existing Business Plan as of the Closing, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit each Employee who receives an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from Seller Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code to roll over such eligible rollover distribution (including any associated participant loan) into an account under a plan of the Purchaser or its Affiliate that is intended to be qualified Section 401(k) of the Code.

(e) Subject to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall (and shall cause the Target Companies to) use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the cessation of, and withdrawal from, participation by the Target Companies, as applicable, as a participating employer in all Seller Plans which are not Business Plans, with such actions to be effective as of the Closing Date. The applicable Target Companies shall retain all Business Plans, and shall satisfy all Liabilities related to such plans.

(f) Effective as of the Closing, to the extent the Target Companies do not maintain a corresponding existing Business Plan as of the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliate shall assume the account balances (positive or negative) of the Employees under Seller’s medical and dependent care flexible spending account plan (the “Seller FSA Plan”). Purchaser shall cause such amounts to be credited to each such Employee’s account under Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s corresponding flexible spending account plan (the “Purchaser FSA Plan”), and all of the Employees’ claims for reimbursement of expenses incurred in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs that have not been paid by the Seller FSA Plan as of the Closing shall be paid pursuant to the Purchaser FSA Plan. In connection with such transfer, Purchaser shall deem that such Employees’ deferral elections made under the Seller FSA Plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs shall continue in effect under the Purchaser FSA Plan for the remainder of the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(g) With respect to all Employees who are participants in the Boral Industries Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, the Boral Industries Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the Boral Roofing LLC Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, and the Headwaters Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plans”), Seller shall retain the liability to make payments to such Employees in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plans, provided that Seller shall have the right to terminate and liquidate such Employees’ interests in any or all of the Deferred Compensation Plans in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B) by taking irrevocable action within thirty (30) days before or twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. To the extent that Seller does not terminate and liquidate the Employees’ interests in the Deferred Compensation Plans, Purchaser shall notify Seller within fifteen (15) days of the date on which an Employee who is a participant in any of the Deferred Compensation Plans separates from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the Target Companies and Purchaser shall have no further obligation with respect to the Deferred Compensation Plans and shall have no obligation to continue to provide deferred compensation arrangements following the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a schedule identifying all Employees with interests in the Deferred Compensation Plans and with such other information as would be necessary to comply with Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6.9(g).

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.9 shall (i) confer any rights, remedies or claims (including third-party beneficiary rights) upon any Employee or any other Person, (ii) be considered or deemed an establishment or amendment or termination of any Employee Plan, any Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy or arrangement, (iii) guarantee continued employment or service or any particular term or condition of employment or service for any Person or limit the ability of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies after the Closing) to terminate the employment or service of any Person at any time and for any or no reason, or (iv) limit the ability of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies after the Closing) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement after the Closing.

(i) Seller shall, or shall cause a Target Company to, request a withdrawal liability statement for each multiemployer plan required to be disclosed on Schedule 4.16(c) of the Disclosure Schedules within three (3) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to, or shall use reasonable efforts to cause a Target Company to, provide Purchaser with a withdrawal liability statement for each multiemployer plan required to be disclosed on Schedule 4.16(c) of the Disclosure Schedules as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement.

Section 6.10 Tax Matters.

(a) Each of the Seller, the Other Sellers and the Purchaser agree to furnish to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Target Companies as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, and making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Governmental Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any action, suit or proceeding related to Taxes, in each case involving the Target Companies and each shall execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 6.10. The Seller, the Other Sellers and the Purchaser agree to retain all books and records with respect to tax matters pertinent to the Target Companies relating to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority. After the period described in the preceding sentence, each of the Seller or the Other Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, may dispose of such books and records unless the other party provides notice that it would like to retain the records for a longer period, which will be done at the expense of such notifying party.

(b) For purposes of Section 6.10(e) and determining Working Capital, a Liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period is allocated between the portion of such period ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion beginning after the Closing Date as follows: (a) Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis shall be allocated to the taxable period or portion thereof in which the transaction giving rise to such Taxes occurred, and (b) Taxes imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated based on the number of days in the relevant taxable period that occur on or before the Closing Date, on the one hand, and the number of days in such taxable period that occur after the Closing Date, on the other hand.

(c) The Purchaser shall not, and shall not allow the Target Companies to initiate (or agree to) any Seller Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) The Seller shall cause those Target Companies which are treated as domestic corporations for U.S. federal Tax purposes to be included in the Seller’s consolidated federal income Tax Return and, in those states and localities where the Seller has historically included such Target Companies in consolidated, combined or unitary income, franchise or other similar Tax Returns, in the Seller’s such consolidated, combined or unitary state income, franchise or other similar Tax Returns (each, a “Combined Tax Return”). The Seller shall prepare

and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, (i) all Combined Tax Returns and (ii) all Tax Returns of the Target Companies (other than Combined Tax Returns) for all taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”); provided, that all such Combined Tax Returns and Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with relevant past practices unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Seller shall timely remit, or cause to be timely remitted, any Taxes due with respect to any Combined Tax Return or any Pre-Closing Tax Return. No later than thirty (30) days after the date on which any Combined Tax Return is filed, the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser a pro forma version of such Tax Return showing the information that relates to the Target Companies (but not the information that does not relate to the Target Companies). At least forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which any Pre-Closing Tax Return is due (including extensions and, if based on reasonable commercial practice such due date would be fewer than forty-five (45) days after the date on which information required for such Tax Return is expected to be available, as promptly as reasonably practicable), the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser for review such Pre-Closing Tax Returns, the Seller shall consider in good faith the Purchaser’s comments prior to filing any such Pre-Closing Tax Return, and the Seller shall not file any such Tax Return without the Purchaser’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) The Purchaser shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns (other than Combined Tax Returns and Pre-Closing Tax Returns) of the Target Companies that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions obtained in the Ordinary Course of Business); provided, that all such Tax Returns related to a Straddle Period will be prepared in a manner consistent with relevant past practices unless otherwise required by applicable Law. For any such Tax Return related to a Straddle Period, the Purchaser shall submit such Tax Return to the Seller for review at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which the Tax Return is due (including extensions and, if based on reasonable commercial practice such due date would be fewer than forty-five (45) days after the date on which information required for such Tax Return is expected to be available, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date), and the Purchaser shall consider in good faith the Seller’s comments prior to filing such Tax Return and shall not file any such Tax Return without the Seller’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser no later than five (5) days prior to the date on which a Tax Return described in this Section 6.10(e) is due (including extensions) (or, with respect to any Tax Return submitted to the Seller fewer than five (5) days prior to such due date, as soon as practicable) the portion of any Taxes due with respect to such Tax Return which is attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date (determined in accordance with Section 6.10(b)) or attributable to Indemnified Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes were included in the calculation of the Net Adjustment Amount (or the calculation of the underlying amounts, including Indebtedness and Working Capital).

(f) The parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of the Target Companies for all tax purposes. The parties agree that (A) the Purchaser and the Company shall not make an election under Treasury Regulations §1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or make any similar election or ratably allocate items under any corresponding provision

of applicable Law) and (B) none of the Seller’s transaction expenses are “properly allocable” to the portion of the Closing Date after the sale of the Subject Securities for purposes of applying the “next day” rule of Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) and, therefore, none of the such expenses shall be treated as occurring on the day after the Closing Date under the “next day” rule. The Parties agree that the election under Rev. Proc. 2011-29 to treat 70% of success-based fees shall be made to the extent applicable.

(g) Without the prior written consent of the Seller, after the Closing, none of the Target Companies shall, and the Purchaser shall not make or cause any of the Target Companies to, make or change any tax election, including any election under Section 338 of the Code, change any annual tax accounting period, adopt or change any method of tax accounting, or file or amend any Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Period, or portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be entitled to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to each Target Company that is organized in a jurisdiction outside the United States.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Transfer Taxes shall be borne by the Purchaser. If the Seller, or the Other Sellers, is required by Law to remit the full amount of any such Transfer Taxes, the Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller for such Transfer Taxes within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written request from the Seller, or the Other Sellers, for such amount together with documentation of payment thereof. The Purchaser shall, at such shared expense, timely file (and, where required by Law, the Seller shall join in the timely filing of) any Tax Returns for Transfer Taxes as required by Law and shall notify the Seller when such filings have been made. The Purchaser and the Seller each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to timely sign and deliver (or cause to be timely signed and delivered) such agreements, certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate and otherwise to reasonably cooperate to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce) such Transfer Taxes.

(i) In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.10 and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions in this Section 6.10 shall control with respect to Tax matters.

Section 6.11 Wrong Pocket. If, following the Closing, the Purchaser, the Target Companies, the Seller or the Other Sellers discover that they possesses any right or other asset that, in the case of the Seller or Other Sellers, relates exclusively to the business of the Target Companies or, in the case of the Purchaser or Target Companies, relates exclusively to the business of the Seller and its Affiliates, such party shall transfer or cause to be transferred such right or asset to the party that conducts the business to which such right or asset exclusively relates, and such party shall accept and assume any such right or asset, as applicable, for no additional consideration other than as previously paid as provided in this Agreement. If, following the Closing, either the Purchaser, the Target Companies, the Seller or the Other Sellers receives any payments due to another party in respect of the rights or assets allocated to such other party pursuant to this Agreement, then such first party shall promptly remit (or cause to be promptly remitted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered), such payments to the appropriate party.

The Seller and the Purchaser shall cause their respective Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.11.

Section 6.12 Further Assurances; Litigation.

(a) Each of the Seller, the Target Companies and the Purchaser will from time to time after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of another party, and at its own expense, deliver or cause to be delivered to the designated party such further documents and other instruments necessary or desirable (but excluding any additional representations or warranties) to effect, preserve, maintain or document the transactions contemplated herein, in the manner and on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) After the Closing, Purchaser will cooperate, to the extent reasonably requested by Seller or any of its Affiliates, in any pending or future Actions in which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party and which relate to the Target Companies. The Actions subject to this cooperation obligation include the Windows Litigation and other Actions set forth on Schedule 6.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedules. Seller and its Affiliates shall be entitled to keep copies of all filings, correspondence, discovery, electronically stored information, business records and other documentation of any kind that Seller or any of its Affiliates reasonably determines is necessary in connection with the handling and disposition of the Windows Litigation and other Actions described in this Section 6.12(b) by Seller or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding Section 6.2, Purchaser will preserve such filings, correspondence, discovery, electronically stored information, business records and other documentation of any kind to the extent reasonably requested by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with the handling and disposition of the Windows Litigation and other Actions described in this Section 6.12(b) by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(c) After the Closing, Purchaser and the Primary Companies will, and will cause the other Target Companies to, provide Seller and its Affiliates and their counsel in the Windows Litigation and other Actions described in Section 6.12(b) reasonable access to: (a) all employees of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) and all witnesses subject to the control or direction of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; and (b) all documents, business records and electronically stored information within the custody or control of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) that are relevant to such Actions. Such access and cooperation will not operate to cause a waiver of the attorney-client, work product or similar privilege by either party. Purchaser and the Primacy Companies will, and will cause the Target Companies to, allow, upon request by Seller or any of its Affiliates, reasonable access to any premises or facilities or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) that are relevant to the Windows Litigation and other Actions described in Section 6.12(b).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that prior to Closing, the Seller shall cause Boral Windows and the other Target Companies to assign or otherwise convey all of their right, title and interest in (including all rights to recoveries as a result of) the Windows Litigation to Seller (or, at the election of Seller, to an Affiliate of Seller), pursuant to the process described in Exhibit E.

Section 6.13 Intercompany Arrangements . On or prior to the Closing, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to,

(a) terminate, cancel, retire or otherwise extinguish all contracts, agreements and arrangements (the “Terminated Agreements”) between the Target Companies, on the one hand, and any Seller Person, on the other hand, including those set forth on Schedule 6.13(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules, but excluding (A) those contracts set forth on Schedule 6.13(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Surviving Agreements”) and (B) this Agreement, the Shared Contracts (as applicable) and the other Transaction Documents; and

(b) payoff or otherwise extinguish (by way of capital contribution, cash settlement or as otherwise reasonably determined by the Seller) all payables and receivables under the Terminated Agreements, and all other intercompany advances, accounts, payables and receivables between the Target Companies, on the one hand, and any Seller Person, on the other hand (collectively, the “Intercompany Payables and Receivables”).

The Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute and deliver all termination and other appropriate documentation at or after the Closing to fully effectuate and document the provisions of this Section 6.13. “Seller Person” means the Seller, its Affiliates (excluding the Target Companies) and each Related Party of the foregoing.

Section 6.14 Covenant Not to Solicit; Covenant Not to Acquire; Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) The Seller covenants and agrees that for a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, except pursuant to a written agreement with the Purchaser, Boral Limited and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit, recruit, induce or encourage any senior management employee of any Target Company (the “Restricted Persons”) to leave the employ of or cease providing services to the Target Companies; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) any Person from making general employment solicitations such as through advertisements in publicly available media or solicitations by search firms so long as such advertisements or solicitations are not specifically targeted at any Restricted Person and (y) any Person from soliciting or recruiting any Restricted Person who has been terminated other than for cause by any Target Company prior to such solicitation or recruiting.

(b) The Seller covenants that for a period of four (4) years from and after the Closing Date, Boral Limited and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) acquire any voting stock, capital stock or other equity interests in, or control of, any Person or the assets of any Person engaged in the Business in the Territory (a “Restricted Business”); provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Person from (A) making direct or indirect debt or equity investments in any parent or affiliated entity of, or making direct or indirect investments in any debt or equity investment portfolio containing debt or other securities of, a Restricted Business so long as the revenue from the Restricted Business represents less than 20% of such parent or affiliated entity’s revenue or the aggregate revenue of the entities included within the applicable portfolio or (B) exercising remedies in connection with any debt; (ii) solicit or refer any Customer, to which the Business provided goods or services in connection with the Business at

any time during the 12-month period prior to the Effective Date, (A) away from any of the Target Companies for the purpose of causing any such Customer to lessen or modify its relationship with such Target Company in respect of a Restricted Business or any aspect thereof, or (B) to do business with any Person engaged in competition with any of the Target Companies in a Restricted Business or any aspect thereof; or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any vendor, contractor, supplier, licensor or other Person to cease doing business with any Target Company in respect of a Restricted Business, or to lessen or modify the terms of such relationship, or in any other way interfere with the relationship between any such vendor, contractor, supplier, licensor or other Person and any Target Company in respect of a Restricted Business.

(c) The Seller acknowledges that the covenants of the Seller set forth in this Section 6.14 are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach by the Seller of any provision of this Section 6.14 will result in irreparable injury to the Purchaser. The Seller acknowledges that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, the Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate. The Seller has independently consulted with its counsel and after such consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.14 are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interest of the Purchaser.

(d) If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 6.14 are unreasonable or that this Section 6.14 is otherwise unenforceable, it is the intention and the agreement of the parties hereto that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Seller’s conduct that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Purchaser the intended benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 6.14 because, taken together, they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Purchaser the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions hereof that, if severed, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be severed and deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

Section 6.15 Shared Contracts.

(a) Following the date of this Agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into or to grant, and to cause each third party counterparty to a contract set forth on Schedule 6.15(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (each, a “Shared Contract”) to enter into or to grant, any new agreements, bifurcations or consents as are reasonably necessary to permit the Seller, the Purchaser and their respective Affiliates (including the Target Companies), as applicable, to, on an independent basis following the Closing, derive those benefits, and to assume any obligations and economic burdens related to such benefits, as each such Person derives from such Shared Contract immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) If, on the Closing Date, any such third party agreement or consent is not obtained, the Seller and the Purchaser shall, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing, (i) continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into or to grant, and to cause each

third party counterparty to such Shared Contract to enter into or to grant, any such new agreements, bifurcations or consents and (ii) cooperate reasonably following the Closing in a mutually acceptable arrangement under which the Seller, the Purchaser and their respective Affiliates (including the Target Companies), as applicable, would, where commercially reasonable and in compliance with applicable Law, obtain the appropriate benefits and assume the related obligations and bear the related economic burdens in respect of such Shared Contract, including by means of subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangements, or enforcement by the party to such Shared Contract for the benefit (and at the expense) of the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, that is an intended beneficiary thereof pursuant to this Section 6.15. Following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, none of the parties hereto nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any further obligation to the other parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates in respect of any Shared Contract.

Section 6.16 Credit Support Instruments.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date (but in any event within forty-five (45) days), the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to secure the unconditional release of the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies), from and after the Closing, from any guarantees, surety bonds or similar instruments set forth on Schedule 6.16(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Credit Support Instruments”), including effecting such release by providing substitute guarantees, surety bonds, indemnities, cash collateral or other credit support pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Seller (in the case of the Credit Support Instruments). The Seller shall cooperate reasonably with the Purchaser in order to obtain such releases and substitutions, as applicable.

(b) (i) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates from any Losses arising from or relating to any such Credit Support Instrument on or after the Closing Date, (ii) the Purchaser shall not take or omit to take, or cause to be taken or not to be taken, any action, to do or omit to do, or cause to be done or not to be done, anything that would or would reasonably be expected to increase the actual or contingent Liability of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of any Credit Support Instrument, and (iii) subject to Section 6.16(a), at any time on or following the Closing Date, the Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right to terminate, or to cause the termination of, each Credit Support Instrument, as applicable, in respect of which such termination is permitted by the Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, in accordance with its terms.

(c) All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the substitution or release of the Credit Support Instruments pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall be paid by the Purchaser.

Section 6.17 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) The Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors, managers and officers of the Target Companies, as provided in

the Target Companies’ Governing Documents, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six (6) years following the Closing Date and that each Target Company will perform and discharge the obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation, as provided in the Target Companies’ Governing Documents, after the Closing; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification and exculpation in respect of any Action arising out of or relating to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and asserted or made within such six-year period shall continue until the final disposition of such Action. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) not to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify the indemnification provisions of the Target Companies’ Governing Documents as in effect at the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at the Closing were directors, managers, officers, employees or agents of the Target Companies.

(b) On or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall obtain from the providers of the current officers’, managers’ and directors’ liability insurance of each Target Company a non-cancelable run-off insurance policy (the “D&O Insurance”) for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, covering liability and acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to those Persons who are presently covered by such insurance at limit levels and otherwise on terms with respect to such coverage no less favorable to the individuals, who on or prior to the Closing Date, were officers, directors or managers of the Target Companies, than those of such insurance in effect on the date hereof; provided, that in no event shall the Purchaser or any other Person be required to obtain a policy with a premium in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently allocated to the Target Companies with respect to their respective existing policies, which currently allocated premium amount is set forth on Schedule 6.17(b) of the Disclosure Schedules, it being understood that if the annual premiums for such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Purchaser shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for such amount. The cost of such D&O Insurance shall be paid by the Purchaser.

(c) The Purchaser covenants, for itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, that it and they shall not institute any Action in any court or before any administrative agency or before any other tribunal against any of the current directors or managers of any of the Target Companies, in their capacity as such, with respect to any liabilities, actions or causes of action, judgments, claims or demands of any nature or description (consequential, compensatory, punitive or otherwise), in each such case to the extent resulting from their approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) In the event the Purchaser or any Target Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in either such case, the Purchaser shall make proper provision so that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser or the applicable Target Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.17.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.17 shall survive the consummation of the Closing and continue for six (6) years following the Closing Date. This Section 6.17 is intended to benefit the directors, managers and officers of each Target Company and any other Person or entity (and their respective heirs, successors and assigns) referenced in this Section 6.17 or indemnified hereunder, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.17 (whether or not parties to this Agreement). All of the Persons referenced in the immediately preceding sentence are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.17.

Section 6.18 Use of Names.

(a) The Purchaser shall cause each of the Target Companies to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, amend its certificate of formation or articles or certificate of incorporation (or equivalent document), and any assumed name or d/b/a filings known to the Purchaser, to eliminate such entity’s right to use the name “Boral” or any name that is similar to or derivative of such name.

(b) During the 180 days following the Closing (the “Xxxx Transition Period”), the Target Companies shall be entitled in the Ordinary Course of Business to (i) use and create Trade Materials containing the name “Boral” and/or any related logos, trade names, trade dress, trademarks and service marks containing the name “Boral” (collectively, the “Boral Marks”), and (ii) distribute and/or sell inventories of products containing or bearing the name “Boral” and/or any Boral Marks. The Purchaser shall cause the Target Companies to cease using the Boral Marks (whether on vehicles, signage or otherwise) as promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in any event prior to the end of the Xxxx Transition Period.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Target Companies shall be entitled to (i) use roof tile molds in existence as of the Closing Date bearing the “Boral” name or Xxxxx Xxxx until such mold needs to be replaced (which in no case shall be after the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Closing Date) to produce roof tile products for sale in the Territory, (ii) sell any roof tile manufactured with such molds bearing the “Boral” name or Xxxxx Xxxx, and (iii) sell any product and use any samples in Inventory containing or bearing the name “Boral” and/or any Boral Marks. The Purchaser agrees that all new roof tile molds bought, produced or otherwise acquired after the Closing Date will not bear the “Boral” name or Xxxxx Xxxx.

Section 6.19 Unpaid Insurance Event. If there is an Unpaid Insured Event, then following the Closing, Purchaser shall:

(e) Seller and the Other Sellers hereby consents to the use of the Target Companies’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided, that such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect the Target Companies or is reasonably expected to violate any existing material contractual obligation (other than any such contract that is among the Seller, the Other Sellers, the Target Companies or any of their Affiliates) of the Target Companies (to the extent such existing material contractual obligation of the Target Companies has been disclosed to the Purchaser a reasonable time prior to the use by the Purchaser of such logos).

(f) Seller and each Other Seller, for itself and on behalf of each of the Target Companies, hereby expressly authorizes the use of the financial statements and any other financial information provided by the Seller, the Other Seller or the Target Companies under Section 6.20 for purposes of the Financing.

From and after the Closing, the Seller and its Affiliates (excluding the Target Companies) shall retain all rights to control such insurance policies and self-insurance programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and self-insurance programs; provided that the Seller

and its Affiliates shall not take any action that would cause the Target Companies to no longer be eligible for coverage under the Retained Policies (as defined below) (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) in respect of Pre-Closing Occurrences.

(b) The parties acknowledge that the Target Companies may be entitled to the benefit of coverage under the insurance policies of the Seller or its Affiliates (the “Retained Policies”) with respect to acts, facts, circumstances or omissions occurring prior to Closing (“Pre-Closing Occurrences”). For any Pre-Closing Occurrences, from and after the Closing, the Seller and its Affiliates shall, at the expense of Purchaser, reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser and the Target Companies and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to assist the Target Companies in submitting, and to provide support with respect to, such claims to which Retained Policies are responsive. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to report any and all Pre-Closing Occurrences arising in connection with the Target Companies to the applicable insurers of the Seller or its Affiliates to the extent permitted under the applicable Retained Policy, and where not permitted, the Seller agrees, upon receipt of a written request by the Purchaser, to use, at the expense of the Purchaser, commercially reasonable efforts to make such report on the Purchaser’s behalf. With respect to claims for Pre-Closing Occurrences made pursuant to this Section 6.24 (or pending as of the Closing Date), (i) if reported to the applicable insurer by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller’s corporate insurance department of such claims and (ii) whether such Pre-Closing Occurrence was reported to the applicable insurer by the Purchaser or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, (A) the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a copy of the applicable Retained Policy and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, comply with the terms of the applicable Retained Policy and (B) each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the benefit of the applicable insurance coverage. The Seller shall bear (and neither the Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall be responsible for) any increased insurance costs incurred as a result of any claims for Pre-Closing Occurrences (including, without limitation, premium adjustments, whether retrospective or otherwise).

Section 6.25 Separation/Transition Services Agreement.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Seller’s current good faith estimate of when a separation of the Business from the remaining businesses of Seller and its Affiliates (the “Separation“) (other than the matters described in the form of Transition Services Agreement attached to this Agreement) is October 1, 2021. If either party does not anticipate that the Separation will be completed on or after October 1, 2021, then the parties will negotiate in good faith to agree on any additions to the Seller Services described in Annex A to the Transition Services Agreement and/or to the Target Company Services described in Annex B to the Transition Services Agreement (and associated fees) to address such delay; provided further that failure to so agree shall not delay the Closing or permit any party to refuse to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if all conditions to the Closing for such party in Article 7 have been satisfied or waived.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Seller and the Target Companies shall be authorized to take (and the Purchaser hereby consents to Seller and

the Target Companies taking) all commercially reasonable steps after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Closing to effectuate the Separation, including:

(i) The transition of the employment of individuals and/or roles set forth on Schedule 6.25(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Transition Employees”) from Seller or one of its Affiliates to a Target Company as of or prior to the Closing. The Transition Employees shall be offered substantially comparable, in the aggregate, compensation (including salary/wages, incentives (including cash and equity) and other benefits) to transition to a Target Company; provided, however, that no defined benefit pension, post-retirement medical, nonqualified deferred compensation, retention, change-in-control or other special or non-recurring compensation or benefits provided prior to the Closing shall be taken into account for purposes of Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6.25. The parties acknowledge that Seller and its Affiliates cannot require a Transition Employee to accept employment at a Target Company and that the decision of any Transition Employees to decline employment by a Target Company shall not be a Material Adverse Effect, and shall not be included in any determination of whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

(ii) The consents for, and/or replacement or bifurcation of, any Shared Contracts as discussed in Section 6.15.

(iii) Causing certain Seller Plans (if and as determined by Seller) to become Business Plans on or prior to the Closing Date (including related amendments).

(c) Purchaser shall have no responsibility for any severance obligations with respect to any Transition Employees who do not accept the Target Companies’ offers of employment and whose employment is subsequently terminated by Seller or its Affiliates.

(d) Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser’s efforts to encourage the Transition Employees to accept employment with Purchaser.

(e) If Seller elects to pay any Retention Amount following the Closing in accordance with the relevant retention letters, Seller shall provide the relevant Target Company with sufficient cash to pay any Retention Amount (including any associated payroll Tax) when such amount is due. In the event that Seller pays any Retention Amount to any Target Company pursuant to this Section 6.25(e), then such Target Company must pay such amounts due to the appropriate recipients pursuant to the relevant retention letters.

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser;

(b) by the Seller, if there shall have been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, and such breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2 if Closing were otherwise to occur on the date that notice of such breach is delivered to the Purchaser, (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following delivery to the Purchaser of notice of such breach, and (iii) has not been waived by the Seller; provided, that the Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if the Seller or any Primary Company is then in material violation or breach of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement;

(i) Except in the case of Fraud or misrepresentation or breach of a Fundamental Representation, in no event shall the Purchaser Indemnified Parties be entitled to recover any Losses in respect of any claim for misrepresentation or breach of warranty from any source other than the R&W Insurance Policy.

(ii) Without limiting anything contained in this Article 9, and except in the case of Fraud, any claim for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Representation, or the Seller Covenant Indemnity or Indemnified Taxes shall be satisfied solely and exclusively from the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent coverage is available thereunder. In no event shall the Purchaser Indemnified Parties be entitled to recover any Losses in respect of any such claim from any source other than the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent available thereunder. To the extent any claim for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party (A) with respect to a misrepresentation or breach of any Fundamental Representation, the Seller Covenant Indemnity or Indemnified Taxes is not satisfied out of the R&W Insurance Policy or (B) arises from the Windows Litigation, the Australian Class Actions or the Excluded Companies, the Purchaser Indemnify Party may bring a claim for indemnification directly against the Seller to the extent provided in this Article 9, provided that in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Seller for such indemnification, or otherwise arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, exceed the Final Closing Purchase Price.

Losses shall not include indirect, punitive or exemplary damages except to the extent paid or payable to a third-party.

(b) No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 with respect to any Loss or alleged Loss to the extent the amount of such Loss or alleged Loss is included in the calculation of the Net Adjustment Amount (or the calculation of the underlying amounts, including Indebtedness and Working Capital) as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.2.

(c) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses that, if and to the extent not mitigated, would be indemnifiable under this Article 9. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall first seek to recover any Losses in respect of any such claim from all applicable sources, including by seeking indemnification for such

Loss under any applicable third-party contract and by seeking recovery under any insurance policy.

Section 9.6 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims Against Indemnified Parties.

(a) In the event that subsequent to the Closing any Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any Action by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party, with respect to which the Seller or the Purchaser (the “Indemnifying Party”), as the case may be, is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice providing in reasonable detail the basis for the claim and indemnification (the “Third Party Indemnification Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days after learning of such claim or Action (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such claim). The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right, upon delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receipt from an Indemnified Party of a Third Party Indemnification Notice, to conduct, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, the defense against (and, subject to Section 9.6(c), any settlement of) such Third Party Claim.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within the time and as prescribed by Section 9.6(a) hereof, then in any such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense in good faith with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnified Party shall be prohibited from compromising or settling any such claim or Action or agreeing to an entry of judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of which party defends such claim, the other party(s) to such Third Party Claim shall have the right at its own cost and expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing, subject to the ultimate control and decision making of the party defending such Third Party Claim. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim or agree to any entry of judgment if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or judgment, such settlement or judgment would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Any judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Party, and shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to prompt indemnification

hereunder, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to appeal an appealable judgment or order. Such indemnification shall be required to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the expiration of any period in which an appeal may be taken.

(e) In the event of any conflict between this Section 9.6 and Section 6.10, Section 6.10 shall control and govern.

Section 9.7 Failure to Give Timely Third Party Indemnification Notice.

Section 10.11 Rules of Interpretation; Investigation; Disclosure Schedules.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (ii) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (iii) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. The definitions given for any defined terms in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This

Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. All accounting terms not specifically defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with IFRS, consistently applied. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. The term “day” shall mean calendar day. The term “Business Day” shall have the meaning ascribed to it herein. Whenever an event or action is to be performed by a particular date or a period ends on a particular date, and the date in questions falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the event or action shall be performed, or the period shall end, on the next succeeding Business Day. All references in this Agreement to any law shall be to such law as amended, supplemented, modified and replaced from time to time.

(b) Purchaser acknowledges that it has been given an opportunity to examine the agreements, instruments, documents and other information relating to the Target Companies that Purchaser has requested to examine. To the extent that as a result of any such investigation or examination, Purchaser (through any of its (or any of its Related Persons’) employees, officers, advisors or other representatives) has actual knowledge of facts contrary to the statements made in any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of Seller or any Primary Company set forth herein and completes the Closing without requiring correction or amendment of such contrary statements, Purchaser shall be estopped from asserting reliance on, or breach of, such contrary representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, in connection with any post-Closing claim or otherwise. Any disclosure made on one Disclosure Schedule shall be (A) deemed made on each other Disclosure Schedule hereto without any specific cross reference, and (B) deemed to qualify any and all representations and warranties in Article 3 or Article 4 (irrespective of whether a Disclosure Schedule is referenced), to the extent reasonably apparent that such disclosure relates to such representations and warranties. The fact that any item of information is disclosed on any Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed (i) to mean that such disclosure is required by this Agreement, (ii) to be a representation or warranty as to the materiality of any item disclosed, (iii) to be an admission of Liability with respect to such disclosure or (iv) be deemed or interpreted to broaden or otherwise amplify the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Currency. All references to “dollars” or “$” or “US$” in this Agreement refer to United States dollars, which is the currency used for all purposes in this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Assignment. Subject to Section 1.1, 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 party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller and Headwaters Stone, LLC (“Stone Other Seller”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to transfer all of Seller’s and Stone

Other Seller’s right, title, and interest to all (but not less than all) of the Subject Securities held by Seller and Stone Other Seller as of the date of this Agreement (the “Boral Transfer”) to an Affiliate of Seller (the “Boral Transferee”). As a condition precedent to the Boral Transfer, the Boral Transferee shall execute a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by, and assuming the rights and obligations of Seller under, this Agreement as if the Boral Transferee were Seller, and substituting the Boral Transferee for Seller with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller herein relating to the ownership of the Subject Securities covered by the Boral Transfer. Upon the Boral Transfer, references to “Seller” hereunder and to Stone Other Seller as an “Other Seller” hereunder shall be deemed references to the Boral Transferee, and Seller’s rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be extinguished and be deemed to be rights, obligations and liabilities of the Boral Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.13 shall affect the obligations of Boral Limited under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.14 Cumulative Rights. Each and every right granted to any party hereunder or under any certificate, schedule, document or other writing delivered by the Seller, the Primary Companies and/or the Purchaser prior to the Closing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, or allowed it by any laws, rules or regulations, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time.

Section 10.15 Counterpart Execution; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on the parties hereto. Electronic mail transmission, PDFs or other electronic instances of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart, and such signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of the enforcement and construction of this Agreement.

Section 10.16 Actions by the Primary Companies. When an action is required to be taken hereunder by any Primary Company prior to the Closing, the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Primary Company, as applicable, to take such action. When an action is required to be taken hereunder by any Target Company after the Closing, the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Target Company, as applicable, to take such action.

(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLES 3 and 4 HEREIN, IN THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3(C), OR IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, IT IS THE EXPLICIT INTENT OF EACH PARTY, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE, THAT NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE OR IS MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT COMMON LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, WRITTEN OR ORAL WITH RESPECT

THE SELLER HAS NOT EXECUTED OR AUTHORIZED THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE UPON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, IN THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3(C), OR IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.

(b) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS AGREED NOT TO RELY ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, IN THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 7.2 AND 7.3, OR IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, BUT RATHER, AS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE CONSIDERATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, HAS AGREED TO RELY SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY UPON ITS OWN EVALUATION OF TARGET COMPANIES, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, IN THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 7.2 AND 7.3, OR IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 7.2 AND 7.3 AND IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS ARE THE RESULT OF EXTENSIVE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND NO OTHER ASSURANCES, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES IN RESPECT OF TARGET COMPANIES WERE MADE BY ANY PARTY IN THE INDUCEMENT THEREOF, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, IN THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 7.2 AND 7.3 AND IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.

Section 10.18 Personal Liability. This Agreement shall not create or be deemed to create or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of any direct or indirect stockholder or other equity owner of the Seller or the Purchaser, or any their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or investors.

Section 10.19 Privileged Information. Subject to Section 6.12:

(a) The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Target Companies) acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx & Bird LLP (“Seller Counsel”) has acted as counsel for the Seller and the Primary Companies in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”), and in connection with the Acquisition Engagement, Seller Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other Person, including the Purchaser.

(b) The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Target Companies), acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between the Target Companies and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto, shall be deemed to belong solely to the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies), and not any of the Target Companies, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies upon or after the Closing. Accordingly, the Purchaser shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Seller Counsel relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of Seller Counsel in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Seller and its Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (ii) Seller Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Purchaser by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller Counsel and any of the Target Companies or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller Counsel shall not disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any third parties (other than representatives, accountants and advisors of the Seller and its Affiliates; provided, that such representatives, accountants and advisors are instructed to maintain the confidence of such attorney-client communications). The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Target Companies), irrevocably waive any right they may have to discover or obtain information or documentation relating to the Acquisition Engagement, to the extent that such information or documentation was subject to an attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other expectation of confidentiality owed to the Seller and/or its Affiliates. If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Target Companies) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between any of the Target Companies or their respective Affiliates and any Person representing them that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, each of the Target Companies, on behalf of itself and their respective Affiliates, and the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Target Companies), shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

Section 10.20 Boral Parent Obligations. Boral Parent hereby agrees that:

(a) Boral Parent shall cause all of its Subsidiaries (including the Seller, the Other Sellers and the Target Companies) to take (or refrain from taking) any and all actions as

required by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to be taken (or not taken) prior to the Closing. For clarity, Boral Parent’s obligations pursuant to this Section 10.20(a) shall terminate in their entirety as of the Closing.

(b) After the Closing, Boral Parent guarantees to the Purchaser the performance of all of the Seller’s obligations pursuant to Article 9 (including payment obligations) (“Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, when and to the extent that performance of the same shall be required by the Seller; provided that in the event that the Seller disputes its liability for any Guaranteed Obligation(s) asserted by the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party, neither the Purchaser nor any other Purchaser Indemnified Party shall request Boral Parent to satisfy the Guaranteed Obligation(s) subject to such dispute pursuant to this Section 10.20(b) until the resolution of such dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Boral Parent acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing, Boral Parent and its Subsidiaries are subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.14.
