The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur at 10:00 a.m., Boston time, three (3) Business Days after all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 shall have been satisfied or, if permissible, waived by the Parties entitled to the benefit of the same (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing); provided that, if the Marketing Period has not ended, the Closing will

(a) The Company shall in good faith prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Purchaser not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) an estimated unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) its good faith estimate of (A) the Closing Working Capital (“Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), (B) the Closing Date Cash (“Estimated

The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared using the same accounting practices, policies and methodologies used in the preparation of the audited balance sheet of the Combined Companies for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, in a manner and on a basis consistent with the sample balance sheet set forth in Section 2.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (which, solely for purposes of illustration, assumes the Closing occurred on December 31, 2014), except that such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall exclude all deferred income Taxes (other than with respect to DBFC), the Retained Assets and Retained Liabilities and Closing Working Capital, Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses shall be determined in accordance with the definitions contained in this Agreement. The Sellers shall provide Purchaser and its representatives reasonable and prompt access to the work papers used in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement upon Purchaser’s request. Purchaser shall have the right to review the Estimated Closing Statement and object to any elements thereof, and the Company, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such objections prior to the Closing and update the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet accordingly; provided that, to the extent such objections are not resolved prior to Closing, the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet delivered by the Company in accordance with this Section 2.7(a) shall control but shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.7.

(b) On or before the date that is sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date, Purchaser or its designee shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Sellers a written statement (the “Purchaser Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Effective Time (the “Purchaser Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) Purchaser’s calculation of (A) the Closing Working Capital (“Purchaser Closing Net Working Capital”), (B) the Closing Date Cash (“Purchaser Closing Cash”), (C) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Purchaser Closing Indebtedness”), and (D) the Transaction Expenses (the “Purchaser Closing Transaction Expenses”), and (iii) Purchaser’s calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount, together with any information that the Sellers have reasonably requested to verify the amounts reflected in the Purchaser Closing Statement. The Purchaser Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting practices, policies and methodologies used in the preparation of the audited balance sheet of the Combined Companies for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (except that such Purchaser Closing Balance Sheet shall exclude all deferred income Taxes (other than with respect to DBFC), the Retained Assets and Retained Liabilities), on a basis and in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement.

(c) From the delivery of the Purchaser Closing Statement until the determination of Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Closing Cash, Final Closing Indebtedness, and Final Closing Transaction Expenses in accordance with this Section 2.7(c), Purchaser will provide, and cause the Acquired Companies to provide, the Sellers with reasonable access (during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice) to (i) the books, records, facilities and employees of the Acquired Companies, and (ii) the financial information, as of the Closing Date, of the Acquired Companies, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary for the

Sellers to evaluate the Purchaser Closing Statement. The Sellers may dispute the calculation of Purchaser Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser Closing Cash, Purchaser Closing Indebtedness, or Purchaser Closing Transaction Expenses by notifying Purchaser of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the items or amounts on the Purchaser Closing Statement that are disputed by the Sellers (a “Notice of Objection”), within thirty (30) days after Sellers’ receipt of the Purchaser Closing Statement. To the extent not set forth in the Notice of Objection, the Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with Purchaser’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Purchaser Closing Statement. In the event that the Sellers do not provide a Notice of Objection within such thirty (30) day period, the Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted the Purchaser Closing Statement delivered by Purchaser, and Purchaser’s calculation of Purchaser Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser Closing Cash, Purchaser Closing Indebtedness, and Purchaser Closing Transaction Expenses set forth therein, which shall then be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any Notice of Objection is timely provided, Purchaser and the Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) calendar days (or such longer period as they may agree in writing) to resolve in good faith any disagreements set forth in the Notice of Objection. Items or amounts set forth in the Notice of Objection that are resolved in writing by Purchaser and the Sellers within such thirty (30) day period will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If Purchaser and the Sellers are unable to resolve such items or amounts in dispute (the “Unresolved Items”) by the end of such period, then, at any time thereafter, either the Sellers or Purchaser may, by written notice to the other Party, require that the Independent Accountants resolve the Unresolved Items. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountants shall only resolve the Unresolved Items and not any disagreements that have been resolved by the Parties. Purchaser and the Sellers shall instruct the Independent Accountants to determine as promptly as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Independent Accountants, based solely on the provisions of this Agreement and the written presentations by the Sellers and Purchaser, and not on an independent review, whether and to what extent (if any) the calculations of Closing Working Capital, Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, or Transaction Expenses require adjustment; provided, however, that in resolving any Unresolved Item, the Independent Accountants (A) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Purchaser or the Sellers or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or the Sellers and (B) may not take oral testimony from the Parties or any other Person. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be allocated between the Purchaser, on one hand, and Sellers on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by the Parties in the aggregate, as determined by the Independent Accountants. The determination of the Independent Accountants shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Sellers and Purchaser and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. At any time Purchaser and the Sellers may agree to settle any objections raised in the Notice of Objection, including any items or amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants, which agreement shall be in writing and final, conclusive and binding upon all of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of any such objection so resolved. The date on which Closing Working Capital, Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.7(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” The Closing Working Capital, Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses, each as finally determined in accordance with this

Section 2.7(c), shall be referred to as the “Final Closing Net Working Capital,” “Final Closing Cash,” “Final Closing Indebtedness,” and “Final Closing Transaction Expenses,” respectively.

(d) If the Final Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date, Purchaser shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Final Adjustment Amount minus the Estimated Adjustment Amount to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions delivered by the Sellers at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment.

(e) If the Final Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date, (i) the Sellers shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date (by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions delivered by Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment) an amount equal to the Estimated Adjustment Amount minus the Final Adjustment Amount (the “Deficit”) or (ii) if Purchaser elects to proceed against the Escrow Fund by written notice delivered to the Sellers within three (3) Business Days after the Determination Date, then Purchaser and the Sellers shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser from the Escrow Fund an amount of cash equal to the Deficit. In the event Purchaser elects to proceed against the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.7(e)(ii), if so requested by Purchaser by written notice to the Sellers, Sellers shall pay or cause to be paid into the Escrow Fund within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written request an amount equal to the Deficit.

(f) The Parties agree and acknowledge that any payment pursuant to Section 2.7(d) or Section 2.7(e) above will be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

(g) Other than the Reorganization (which shall be given full effect), in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Purchaser Closing Statement, the Sellers and Purchaser, respectively, shall disregard any and all effects on the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Companies as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any financing arrangements entered into by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and any of the plans, transactions or charges which Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Acquired Companies or their business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or any of its assets or liabilities.

Section 2.8 Purchase Price Allocation. For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and the Sellers agree that the Purchase Price, any assumed liabilities and other relevant items which are attributable to the Company LLC Interests shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in accordance with the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Sellers shall prepare an initial allocation and deliver such allocation to Purchaser for its review and approval within sixty (60) days after the Determination Date. Such allocation shall be mutually agreed upon between Purchaser and the Sellers. Purchaser may dispute the initial allocation by notifying the Sellers of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable

detail its objections, within sixty (60) days after Purchaser’s receipt of such initial allocation; provided that if Purchaser does not provide such objection within such sixty (60) day period, Purchaser shall have been deemed to have agreed with the Sellers’ allocation. The Parties shall work in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to such allocation. Purchaser and the Sellers agree to report, act and file in accordance with the computations and allocations as determined pursuant to this Section 2.8 in any relevant Tax Returns or filings and to cooperate in the preparation of any such forms. The Parties shall promptly advise one another of the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to any allocation hereunder. None of the Parties shall take any position (whether on any Tax Returns, in any Tax proceeding or otherwise) that is inconsistent with this Section 2.8 unless required to do so by applicable Law.

Section 2.9 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser and remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such withheld and remitted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the relevant Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Each of the Parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate the imposition of any withholding Taxes.

Section 5.6 Financing. Purchaser will have, as of the Closing Date, sufficient funds to be able to pay the full Purchase Price and any expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser has obtained (a) a fully executed commitment letter and engagement letter (including all exhibits, annexes and other attachments thereto), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), from the parties identified therein (the “Debt Financing Sources”) to provide Purchaser with debt financing in the amount set forth therein for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and related fees and expenses (being collectively referred to as the “Debt Financing”), and (b) a fully executed commitment letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Equity Commitment Letter,” and together with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”), from JLL Partners Fund V, L.P. and Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. to provide equity financing to Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, in the amount set forth therein (being collectively referred to as the “Equity Financing” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”), each on the terms and conditions set forth therein. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Commitment Letters has been amended or modified, and the respective commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any way. Purchaser has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees due as

of the date hereof in connection with the Commitment Letters. The Debt Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, subject to the General Enforceability Exceptions. The Equity Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto, subject to the General Enforceability Exceptions. Except for the fee letter relating to the Debt Financing (a true and complete copy of which has been provided to the Company, with fee amounts, pricing caps and certain terms of the market flex (none of which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the aggregate amount or availability of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, except to the extent any such reduction in the Debt Financing would be offset by an increase in the Debt Financing or other funding being made available by the Debt Financing Sources) redacted), as of the date of this Agreement, there are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements relating to the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing that would reasonably be expected to affect the availability of the Financing on the Closing Date, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a failure of any condition to the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date or result in any portion of the Financing being unavailable on the Closing Date (except to the extent offset by an increase in the Debt Financing or Equity Financing or other funding being made available by the Debt Financing Sources or another financing source) and, assuming the conditions in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 are satisfied on the Closing Date, Purchaser has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy any condition to the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date required to be satisfied by it and contained in the Commitment Letters. Assuming the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 are satisfied, the aggregate proceeds from the Financing will provide Purchaser with all of the financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the Closing Date. The Commitment Letters contain all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the Financing available to Purchaser on the terms therein. As of the date of this Agreement and assuming the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 are satisfied, Purchaser does not know of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the funding of the Financing set forth in the Commitment Letters not being satisfied on the Closing Date.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is relying exclusively on the representations of the Company and the Sellers set forth in this Agreement and in any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder and its own investigation of the Company and that it is not relying on any other statements or documents.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that (i) neither any Combined Company nor any Seller makes any representation or warranty with respect to (A) any projections, estimates or budgets delivered to or made available to Purchaser of future revenues, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of any Combined Company or the future

business and operations of any Combined Company or (B) any other information or documents made available to Purchaser or its counsel, accountants or advisors with respect to the Combined Companies or any of their respective businesses, assets, liabilities or operations, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder, and (ii) Purchaser has not relied and will not rely upon any of the information described in subclauses (A) and (B) of clause (i) above in executing, delivering and performing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby except those representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.8, from and after Closing, information relating to any Acquired Company or its business shall no longer be the confidential information of Sellers, and Purchaser, its Affiliates and directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors shall not be restricted from disclosing any such information. The Parties shall instruct their respective Affiliates and directors, officers, partners, members, managers, trustees, employees, agents and advisors having access to such information of such obligation of confidentiality.

Section 6.5 Public Announcements. Each of the Parties shall consult with one another before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement or disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement or other disclosure prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law or listing agreement with or listing rule of a national securities exchange or trading market or inter-dealer

quotation system (in which case, prior to making such disclosure, the disclosing Party will (a) deliver a draft of such press release or public statement or other disclosure to each other Party, and shall give each other Party reasonable opportunity (but in no event less than twenty-four (24) hours) to comment thereon prior to such disclosure and (b) consider in good faith the reasonable comments of such other Party); provided that, Purchaser may not without the Sellers’ consent disclose any information regarding any Seller or Affiliate thereof (other than an Acquired Company or Person that is an Affiliate of a Seller solely as a result of Seller’s ownership of the Acquired Companies) other than that the Sellers owned the Acquired Companies, are party to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the other matters set forth on Exhibit E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 6.5 shall not restrict Purchaser, the Company Group or the Sellers from making internal announcements to their respective employees and shall not restrict Purchaser’s equity sponsors from reporting and disclosing to their members and limited partners, in each case pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, customary summary information regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.6 D&O Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, to indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of the Acquired Companies (each, an “Insured Party”) against all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any Action based on the fact that such individual is or was a director or officer of an Acquired Company and arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Reorganization) (and shall pay any expenses in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding to each Insured Party to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, upon receipt from the Insured Party for whom expenses are paid of any undertaking to repay such amounts required under applicable Law). Any Insured Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.6, upon learning of any Action, shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the applicable Acquired Company of any liability it may have to such Insured Party, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any such Action, (arising after the Closing Date), (i) Purchaser or the applicable Acquired Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Insured Party (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Company shall not be liable to such Insured Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Insured Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that, if Purchaser or the applicable Acquired Company elects not to assume such defense or if counsel for the Insured Party advises that there are issues that raise conflicts of interest between Purchaser or the Acquired Companies and the Insured Party, or between any Insured Parties, then the Insured Party may retain counsel satisfactory to it, and Purchaser or the applicable Acquired Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Insured Party promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Company shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 6.6 to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Insured Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Insured Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; provided, further, that the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall

be used; (ii) such Insured Party will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; and (iii) Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Company shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and provided, further, that Purchaser and the Acquired Companies shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Insured Party if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Insured Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law. Purchaser and the Company hereby acknowledge that present and former directors and officers of the Insured Parties may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance. From and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Company hereby agree that they are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the Insured Parties are primary and any obligation of any secondary indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Insured Parties are secondary).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Sellers shall maintain (or caused to be maintained) a “run-off” policy on the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for coverage of the acts or omissions of such directors and officers occurring prior to the Closing Date (the “Run-Off Policy”) for not less than six (6) years after the Closing Date. The Company shall cause the Acquired Companies and each of its Subsidiaries to refrain from taking any act that would cause such coverage to cease to remain in full force and effect.

(c) Each Insured Party to whom this Section 6.6 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.6. The provisions of this Section 6.6 are intended to be for the benefit of each Insured Party and his heirs. The obligations under this Section 6.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any such Insured Party without his written consent.

(d) After the Closing Date, in the event Purchaser or any Acquired Company (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

Section 6.7 Filings and Approvals.

(a) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.7, each of the Sellers, the Company and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than the Outside Date, including preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all

consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party (including, without limitation, with respect to obtaining releases of Encumbrances under the Loan and Security Agreement) and/or any Governmental Authority, including without limitation under the Antitrust Laws, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall pay all filing fees under the Antitrust Laws in connection with the performance of the Parties under this Section 6.7.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company and Purchaser (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) shall: (i) promptly, but in no event later than April 20, 2015, file any and all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such Party under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and shall use reasonable best efforts promptly to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act; (ii) promptly make all filings, and use reasonable best efforts to timely obtain all consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances and approvals, and to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods, as may be required under any other applicable Antitrust Laws (to the extent required); (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the DOJ or the FTC under the HSR Act or by any other Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as well as any information required to be submitted to comply with, a request for additional information in order to commence or end a statutory waiting period; (iv) use reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, on a timely basis, all other actions necessary or appropriate for the purpose of consummating and effectuating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) promptly take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Authority as a condition to granting any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance and approvals, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve such objections, if any, as the FTC and the DOJ, or other Governmental Authorities of any other jurisdiction for which consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are required with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries will only be required to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, if such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries only in the event the Closing occurs; provided, further, that, subject to the obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 6.7(d)-(f), the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries shall only be permitted to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, with the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.7, each Party hereto shall (i) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, litigation, hearing, examination or Action with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, litigation, hearing, examination or Action, (iii) promptly inform the other Parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Authority to the extent regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or regarding any such request, litigation, hearing, examination or Action, and provide a copy of all written communications and (iv) pull and re-file any notice under the HSR Act only if the other Parties

agree. Subject to applicable Law, in advance and to the extent practicable, each of Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, will consult the other on all the information relating to Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall incorporate all comments reasonably proposed by Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be; provided, however, that if review of any information would be material in connection with any second request (or similar process) such information shall be provided solely to those individuals acting as outside antitrust counsel for the other Parties provided that such counsel shall not disclose such information to such other Parties and shall enter into a joint defense agreement with the providing party. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by any applicable Law, in connection with any such request, litigation, hearing, examination or Action with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party will permit authorized representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, litigation, hearing, examination or Action and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, litigation, hearing, examination or Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser, after prior consultation with the Company, shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances, including in connection with the determination of any Regulatory Action, and shall take the lead in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances, provided that the Company shall be permitted to participate in such meetings and communications unless excluded from doing so by a Governmental Authority or to the extent necessary to prevent disclosure of Purchaser’s competitively sensitive information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7(c), with respect to Taxes, the agreements set forth in Article 7 shall control.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.7, in no event shall Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates be required to agree to (nor shall the Company and its Subsidiaries be permitted to agree unless Purchaser so directs them (and they shall, if Purchaser so directs, agree to, so long as such agreements are conditioned upon the Closing)) (i) divest, license, hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or allow a third party to utilize, any portion of its or their respective businesses, assets or Contracts or (ii) take any other action that may be required or requested by any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining the consents, authorizations, orders or approvals contemplated by this Section 6.7 (each, a “Regulatory Action”) that would, in each case, have an adverse impact, in any material respect, individually or in the aggregate, on Purchaser and its Subsidiaries. Subject to its obligations in this Section 6.7 and the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall have the sole and exclusive right to propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any and such actions or otherwise to offer to take or offer to commit (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect) to take any such action as may be required to resolve any Governmental Authority’s objections to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall consider in good faith the views of the Company and its counsel in connection therewith.

(e) Subject to Section 6.7(d), in the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or Action is commenced challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding and each of the Company and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Purchaser shall not, nor shall it permit its Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition, would reasonably be expected to increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) The Sellers shall take the actions set forth on Section 6.7(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers.

Section 6.8 Conflicts and Privilege.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxxx Procter LLP (“Xxxxxxx”) has acted as counsel to the Acquired Companies and the Sellers in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser hereby consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries to consent and agree to, Xxxxxxx representing Sellers after the Closing, including with respect to disputes in which the interests of the Sellers may be directly adverse to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies), and even though Xxxxxxx may have represented the Acquired Companies in a matter substantially related to any such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for the Acquired Companies. Purchaser further consents and agrees to, and agrees to cause the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries to consent and agree to, the communication by Xxxxxxx to the Sellers in connection with any such representation of any fact known to Xxxxxxx arising by reason of Xxxxxxx’x prior representation of the Acquired Companies.

(c) In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) Xxxxxxx’x prior representation of the Acquired Companies and (ii) Xxxxxxx’x representation of the Sellers prior to and after the Closing.

(d) Purchaser further agrees, on behalf of itself and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries, that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among Xxxxxxx, XxXxxxxxx Will & Xxxxx LLP,

Ogletree, Deakins, Xxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx, P.C. and Xxxxxxxxxx Hyatt Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP and/or any other legal counsel to the Acquired Companies (including, in-house legal counsel) (each a “Counsel”), on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies and the Sellers, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and that the Privileged Communications and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto belong solely to the Sellers, shall be controlled by the Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, or any of the Acquired Companies.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Company Group or their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Sellers, on the other hand, Purchaser, the Company Group or their respective Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Communications to such third party; provided, however, that none of the Company Group or their respective Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sellers. In the event that any of the Company Group or their respective Subsidiaries is legally required by governmental order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, Purchaser shall immediately (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify the Sellers in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 6.8(e)) so that the Sellers can seek a protective order and Purchaser agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.

(f) To the extent that files or other materials maintained by applicable Counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitute property of its clients, only the Sellers shall hold such property rights and applicable Counsel shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any such files or other materials or any Privileged Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between applicable Counsel, on the one hand, and the Company Group or their respective Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

(g) Purchaser agrees that it will not, and that it will cause the Company Group and their respective Subsidiaries not to, (i) access or use the Privileged Communications, including by way of review of any electronic data, communications or other information, or by seeking to have the Sellers waive the attorney-client or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting that Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary has the right to waive the attorney-client or other privilege or (ii) seek to obtain the Privileged Communications from applicable Counsel.

Section 6.9 Employment Benefits.

(a) As of and subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies and/or the appropriate Subsidiaries of Purchaser to: (i) provide Covered Employees with service credit for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan), under any employee benefit or compensation plan, program or arrangement adopted, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser or the Acquired Companies in which Covered Employees are eligible to participate (the “Purchaser Plans”) for all periods of employment with the Acquired Companies (or any

predecessor entities) prior to the Closing, and with Purchaser, the Acquired Companies on and after the Closing; (ii) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any Purchaser Plan to be waived with respect to the Covered Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which the applicable Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing; and (iii) give the Covered Employees and their eligible dependents credit for the plan year in which the Closing (or commencement of participation in a plan of Purchaser or the Acquired Companies) occurs towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for expenses incurred prior to the Closing (or the date of commencement of participation in any Purchaser Plan), in each case, to the extent permitted under the applicable Purchaser Plan and under applicable Law.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, if requested by Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Companies shall (i) terminate the Company’s 401(k) Company Employee Plan and amend its NQDC Plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder or terminate the NQDC Plan as of the date immediately preceding the Closing Date and (ii) take all necessary and appropriate actions to terminate the Amended and Restated ProBuild Holdings LLC Phantom Equity Plan effective as of the Closing and to cause the holders of awards thereunder to be paid the amounts due thereunder, provided that all such amounts shall constitute Indebtedness. The Purchaser shall pay all costs relating to the termination of any plan that is terminated pursuant to (b)(i) above, including without limitation, all legal, recordkeeping and consulting fees and expenses relating to the amendment, termination and liquidation of either of such plan(s) and all filing fees and costs relating to the securing of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the termination of the Company’s 401(k) Company Employee Plan including all costs relating to the restoration of forfeitures from terminated employees’ accounts required in order to obtain a favorable determination letter on the plan termination in connection with the determination letter. All resolutions, notices or other documents issued, adopted or executed in connection with the terminations described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall be subject to Purchaser’s reasonable prior review and comment.

(c) Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to provide continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all individuals (including spouses and dependents) who are entitled to such continuation coverage by reason of employment with an Acquired Company and who became entitled to such coverage pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or a qualifying event that occurred prior to the Closing.

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause the Acquired Companies to take all necessary and appropriate actions so that, as of the Closing, (i) no company or other entity other than an Acquired Company is a participating employer in any Company Employee Plan and no individual is an active participant in a Company Employee Plan other than an employee of an Acquired Company or the spouse or dependent of any such employee.

(e) No provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any right in any employee of the Acquired Companies or any of the Subsidiaries to continued employment by Purchaser, the Acquired Companies, or any respective Subsidiary or preclude the ability of Purchaser, the

Acquired Companies, or any respective Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason, (ii) require Purchaser, the Acquired Companies, or any respective subsidiary to continue any Company Employee Plans or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date, (iii) confer upon any Covered Employees any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or (iv) be treated as an amendment to any particular employee benefit plan of Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any respective Subsidiary.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.10, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Purchaser as reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s arrangement of the Financing (provided in all cases that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Acquired Companies). Such cooperation will include the Company and its Subsidiaries using reasonable best efforts to take the following actions:

(i) provide by April 22, 2015, audited combined balance sheets of the Combined Companies as of December 31, 2013 and 2014 and the related audited combined statements of operations and cash flows of the Combined Companies for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and suitable under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X for use in connection with Purchaser’s registration statement to be filed with the SEC on Form S-3;

(ii) provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain customary “comfort letters” (including “negative assurance” comfort) for transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the audited and unaudited financial statements of the Acquired Companies and/or Combined Companies from the Company’s independent public accountants;

(iv) provide reasonable assistance in the preparation of offering documents and bank information memoranda (including a bank information memorandum that does not include material non-public information), private placement memoranda, rating agency presentations, prospectuses and any similar documents (including requesting any consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Financing and the delivery of one or more customary representation letters);

(v) execute and deliver any definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or any Debt Financing Source;

(vi) furnish to Purchaser and the Debt Financing Sources, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such financial and other information as Purchaser shall reasonably request in order to consummate the Financing (including the Required Information);

(viii) obtain customary authorization letters with respect to the bank information memoranda from a senior officer of the Company and using reasonable best efforts to obtain consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials reasonably relating to the Financing (including, without limitation, in a private placement or offering memorandum); and

(ix) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, provide all documentation and other information about the Company as is reasonably requested by the Debt Financing Sources with respect to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect any Acquired Company or the reputation or goodwill of any of them. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any Fidelity logos be used in connection with the Financing without the prior written consent of FMR.

Nothing in this Section 6.10(a) shall require the Company or its Subsidiaries to (v) cause its directors and managers to adopt or pass any resolutions or consents other than any resolutions or consents necessary to authorize the officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to take such actions as are necessary to comply with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations herein (other than approval of the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained), (w) provide any assistance to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the ongoing business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (x) execute or deliver any certificate, document or agreement in connection with the Financing unless the effectiveness of such certificate, document or agreement is contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing Date, other than certain authorization letters or representation letters to auditors, (y) issue any offering or information document or (z) provide any legal opinion or other opinion of counsel, or any information that would, in its good faith opinion, result in a violation of applicable law or loss of attorney-client privilege. Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Seller, any Acquired Company, any

of their respective Affiliates or the officers, employees, representatives and advisors of any of the foregoing, in connection with their respective obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (1) none of the Sellers, their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries or any member of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives shall, until the funding of the Financing immediately prior to the Closing Date, incur or be responsible for any liability to any Person under any Commitment Letter or any actions taken in connection with the Financing and (2) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries, each member of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Debt Financing, except in the event such liabilities and Losses arose out of or resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any such Persons.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.10 or anything else in this Agreement

(i) no liability or obligation (including any liability or obligation to pay any commitment or other similar fee) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any certificate, document or instrument related to the Financing will be effective until the Closing, other than certain authorization letters or representation letters to auditors, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to take any action under any certificate, document or instrument that is not contingent upon consummation of the Closing (including the entry into any agreement that is effective before the Closing) or that would be effective prior to the Closing; and

(ii) in no event will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent, or to incur any liability with respect to, or cause or permit any Encumbrance to be placed on any of their respective assets in connection with, the Debt Financing prior to the Closing.

(c) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) described in the Debt Commitment Letter (or on terms no less favorable to Purchaser, except as agreed by the Purchaser), and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under the Debt Commitment Letter (except in compliance with the flex provisions in effect as of the date hereof), if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, or (ii) impose new or additional terms or conditions or otherwise amend, modify or expand the terms or conditions precedent to the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing Date or make the funding of the Debt Financing less likely to occur; provided, however, that Purchaser may amend or restate the Debt Commitment Letter (x) to modify the pricing terms or add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities as parties thereto who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and (y) otherwise, so long as, in each case, such amendment would not reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing. Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts (A) to maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (or on terms not materially less favorable to Purchaser, except as agreed to by Purchaser), (B) to satisfy on a timely basis (taking

into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period) all conditions applicable to it in such definitive agreements that are within its control and (C) upon satisfaction of such conditions, to consummate the Debt Financing and Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing.

(d) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Debt Financing being replaced that is still available, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby with terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to Purchaser, in the aggregate, than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (giving effect to any applicable flex provisions), except as agreed by Purchaser, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (the “Alternative Debt Financing”). Purchaser shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all agreements (the fee letters of which may be redacted as contemplated by Section 5.6), pursuant to which any such alternative financing source shall have committed to provide Purchaser with any portion of the Financing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution thereof. Parent shall promptly provide a true, correct and complete copy of each alternative financing commitment (“New Debt Commitment Letter”) to the Company. Any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the date hereof, as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced (in whole or in part) by this Section 6.10(d), including any Alternative Debt Financing, and references to “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such debt commitment letters as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced (in whole or in part) by this Section 6.10(d), including any New Debt Commitment Letter.

(e) Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and shall give the Company prompt notice: (i) of any breach of any material provisions of any of the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Debt Financing by any party to any Debt Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Debt Financing of which it has actual knowledge, in each case to the extent such breach could reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing, (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any (A) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing or any material provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any of the Commitment Letters with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Closing, and (iii) if at any time for any reason all or any portion of the Financing would reasonably be expected not to be obtained by the Purchaser on the terms and conditions in, and in the manner or from the sources contemplated by, any of the Commitment Letters; provided, that in no event will Purchaser be under any obligation to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 6.10(e) that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege if Purchaser shall have used its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three (3) Business Days following the date the Company delivers to Purchaser a written request, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately

preceding sentence. Purchaser will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, without the prior written consent of the Company, take any action or enter into any transaction that could reasonably be expected to impair, delay or prevent consummation of all or any portion of the Financing.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in Section 6.10(c) through Section 6.10(e) shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Purchaser be deemed or construed to require, Purchaser to pay any fees materially in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter after giving effect to any “flex” provisions (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise).

Section 6.11 Union Notification. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, each of PB Capital and the Company shall notify, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to notify, to the extent required by the applicable Contract, any labor unions representing its or their employees of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

From the date hereof until the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice from time to time, the Sellers and the Acquired Companies shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, provide Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, and legal, accounting, financial or other advisors reasonable access during normal business hours and under the supervision of Company personnel to the records and books of account of the Acquired Companies in possession of the Acquired Companies, to the premises of the Acquired Companies, and to the Persons set forth on Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that such access to such information and furnishing of such information will be conducted solely at Purchaser’s expense and Purchaser and its representatives shall not unreasonably disrupt the personnel and operations of the Acquired Companies; provided further that Purchaser shall not contact and shall not permit any lenders or other third parties to contact any Acquired Company’s suppliers, customers or other business relations or any employee of an Acquired Company (other than those listed on Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) without the prior written consent of one of the one of the Persons listed on Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.12, the Acquired Companies may withhold any document (or portions thereof) or information (a) that constitutes privileged attorney-client communications or attorney work product or (b) if the provision of access to such document (or portion thereof) or information, as determined by the Acquired Companies in good faith, could reasonably be expected to conflict with applicable Laws. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 6.13 Real Property Deliveries and UCC Searches. The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, at Purchaser’s sole expense and without any liability to the Sellers or the Acquired Companies resulting therefrom, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s obtaining title commitments, title policies and surveys with respect to the Real Property in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, including providing any customary affidavits of the Sellers (including, without limitation, any necessary to obtain non-imputations endorsements) and/or gap indemnities reasonably requested by Purchaser.

In the event that (i) a Consent is required to transfer and assign any such assets and (ii) no Consent would have been required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby if such asset had been held by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries prior to such transfer or assignment, the costs of obtaining such Consent shall be borne by Sellers.

TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Tax Returns. The Sellers shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed, in accordance with past practice of the Acquired Companies, all Income Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Acquired Companies on or after the Closing Date for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period), and shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes due in respect of such Income Tax Returns. Within five (5) Business Days of filing, the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of each such Income Tax Return. Purchaser shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed, in accordance with past practice of the Acquired Companies (except to the extent that Purchaser or the Acquired Companies determine, with the written advice of independent Tax counsel (to be delivered to the Sellers and which is reasonably acceptable to the Sellers), that there is not at least “substantial authority,” within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of non-U.S. Law), for a particular position), all other Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Acquired Companies after the Closing Date for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Sellers, for their review and comment all such Tax Returns at least (A) thirty (30) days prior to the filing due date for any Income Tax Returns (taking into account extensions validly obtained), and (B) ten (10) days prior to the filing due date for any other Tax Return (taking into account extensions validly obtained), and shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments of the Sellers. Upon the written request of Purchaser setting forth in detail the computation of the amount owed with respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.1 and agreed to by the Sellers (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), the Sellers shall pay to Purchaser, no later than three (3) days prior to the due date for the applicable Tax Return, an amount equal to the Taxes for which the Sellers are liable pursuant to Section 9.2(e)(i). Notwithstanding anything in this Article 7, the Sellers shall have the exclusive right to prepare and file all Income Tax Returns (including amended Income Tax Returns), of or with respect to the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period), and for the purpose of clarity, Purchaser shall not be entitled to review or comment on any such Income Tax Returns (including amended Income Tax Returns).

Section 7.2 Controversies. Each Party agrees to give written notice to the other Party within twenty (20) days of the receipt of any written notice by the first Party which involves the assertion of any Tax Matter and Purchaser will give written notice to the Sellers within twenty (20) days of the receipt of any written notice by Purchaser or the Acquired Companies which involves any matter affecting the Tax liabilities of the Sellers; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party has been prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Matter and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from a Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 9.3, (a) the Sellers shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Matter; provided, that the Sellers shall obtain the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if such action could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the liability of Purchaser or the Acquired Companies for Taxes for any Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, further, that Purchaser shall be entitled to participate fully in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel will be borne by Purchaser, and (b) with respect to any Tax Matter for which the Sellers may not be solely liable under this Agreement, the Sellers and Purchaser shall jointly control such claim and neither the Sellers nor Purchaser shall enter into any settlement or cease to defend such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2, the Sellers shall have the exclusive right to control any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Income Taxes and Income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than Straddle Periods) and, for the purposes of clarity, the provisions above entitling Purchaser to the right of consent before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim and the right to participate fully in the defense of such claim shall not apply to any claim with respect to Income Taxes or Income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than a Straddle Period); provided, however, if any proposed settlement or cessation of defense of such proceeding would reasonably be expected to affect or be relevant to the Taxes of Purchaser, the Sellers shall first consult with Purchaser and, at the request of Purchaser, provide Purchaser, on a timely basis, any information from such proceeding that could be relevant to the determination of the Taxes of Purchaser or the Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any Post-Closing Tax Period.

Section 7.3 Post-Closing Access and Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents and representatives to cooperate in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with (a) the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns, amended Tax Returns or claims for refunds of Taxes relating to the Acquired Companies, (b) the determination of the Sellers, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, of any liability for any Taxes relating to the Acquired Companies, and (c) any Tax Matter. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns, Tax refunds or Tax Matters and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each Party shall provide to the others, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof, any Tax related communications and notices it receives

which may impact the other Party’s Tax liability or filing responsibilities. Each Party shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters of the Acquired Companies until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (ii) six (6) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the Sellers shall provide written notice to Purchaser prior the disposition by them or any of their Affiliates of any information, records or documents described in this Section 7.3 and allow Purchaser to obtain such information, records and documents within thirty (30) days of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Acquired Companies have the Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all other material records and other documents related to Tax Matters of the Acquired Companies, the Sellers will be under no obligation to provide such records.

Section 7.4 Post-Closing Action; Certain Elections.

(a) Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall not amend any previously filed Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, file Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where the Company has not historically filed Tax Returns, initiate discussions or examinations with any Taxing Authority regarding Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, change any accounting method or adopt any convention that shifts taxable income from a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date or shifts deductions or losses from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date, or otherwise take any action that could reduce an amount payable under Section 7.5 or create or increase an indemnity claim under this Agreement with respect to Taxes, or increase the Taxes of the Sellers, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Seller or any of its Affiliates, shall make any election under Section 338 or 336(e) of the Code or any state, local or non-U.S. Law equivalent in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 7.5 Refunds. From and after the Closing Date, any refunds (or credits for overpayment) of Taxes received from a Taxing Authority that are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Acquired Companies, other than any refunds or credits of Taxes that are reflected in Working Capital, shall be for the account of the Sellers, and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or their Affiliates to the Sellers, with each such Seller being entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of such amounts, within ten (10) days of receipt of any such refund or credit. Purchaser shall be entitled to any refunds (or credits for overpayment) of Taxes received from a Taxing Authority other than refunds or credits to which the Sellers are entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Sellers or their Affiliates shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds such refunds or credits to Purchaser within ten (10) days of receipt of any such refund or credit. Any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Purchaser and the Sellers in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 7.7.

Section 7.6 Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid equally by Purchaser and the Sellers. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and timely filing any Tax Return relating to such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, Purchaser or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Sellers shall timely pay all Transfer Taxes arising from the Reorganization. The Sellers shall, at their own expense, prepare and timely file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Purchaser or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns. To the extent that any Taxes described in the second preceding sentence are required to be collected by Purchaser and remitted to any Taxing Authority, the Sellers shall timely pay the amount of such Taxes to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall timely remit such Taxes to the Taxing Authority.

Section 7.7 Straddle Period Tax Allocation.

Section 7.8 Ending Tax Year on Closing Date. The Parties will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Taxing Authority to end, and otherwise prepare and file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with ending, the tax year of the Acquired Companies as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

Section 7.9 Tax Treatment of the Transaction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the contribution of the equity of the Transferred Companies to the Company in the Reorganization is intended to be treated as a transaction described in Section 721(a) of the Code. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, for federal income tax purposes, after the Reorganization occurs, Purchaser’s purchase of all the equity interests in the Company is intended to be governed by IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432 (Situation 2), and, pursuant thereto, (a) with respect to Purchaser, (i) the Company shall be deemed to make a liquidating distribution of its assets to the Sellers, and (ii) Purchaser shall be deemed to acquire, by purchase, all such assets from the Sellers; and (b) with respect to the Sellers, the Sellers shall be treated as selling partnership interests and shall report gain or loss, if any, resulting from the sale of their partnership interests in accordance with Section 741 of the Code. Each of Purchaser and the Sellers shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) prepare and timely file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the foregoing and take no inconsistent position on any Tax Return, in any audit or similar proceeding before any Governmental Authority, or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. law).

Section 7.10 Termination of Tax Allocation Agreements. Any Tax allocation or sharing agreement or arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into by Sellers or any of their Affiliates on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to the Acquired Companies at least one (1) day prior to the Closing Date, and no payments which are owed by or to the Acquired Companies pursuant thereto shall be made thereunder.

Section 7.11 Entity Classification Election. Effective on or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause an entity classification election to be filed pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 to treat PBREH as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 7.13 Tax Treatment of Escrow Fund. All Parties agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, for all Tax purposes: (a) Purchaser shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Fund solely for Tax purposes, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-8; (b) if and to the extent any amount of the Escrow Fund, as applicable, is actually distributed to the Sellers in respect of their Company LLC Interest, interest may be imputed on such amount as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code; and (c) in the event that the total amount of any interest and earnings earned on the portion of the Escrow Fund that is paid to the Sellers exceeds the imputed interest, such interest shall be treated as interest or other income and not as the purchase price. The Parties shall file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the foregoing and take no inconsistent position on any Tax Return, in any audit or similar proceeding

before any Governmental Authority, or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. law).

Section 7.14 Exclusivity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Article 7 and the provisions of Article 9, the provisions of this Article 7 shall govern.

Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9, from and after the Closing, the Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless (such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless are referred to herein from time to time as “Indemnification Obligations”) Purchaser and the Acquired Companies and their respective directors and officers (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, Taxes, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) imposed on or suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from or arising out of or in connection with:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article 3 or Article 4 as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (other than representations and warranties that are made as of a specified date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such specified date and other than any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.12); provided that, for purposes of determining both (i) the amount of Losses and (ii) the existence of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty, such representations or warranties shall be deemed to have been made without giving effect to any limitation or qualification as to “materiality,” including the word “material,” or “Material Adverse Effect” (other than where such words appear in (x) the definitions of Material Adverse Effect, Permitted Encumbrances and Listed Permits, (y) the term “material weakness” and (z) Section 3.5(a), Section 3.6(a), Section 3.6(b), Section 3.13(a)(iii)(C) and Section 3.13(a)(iv)(B));

(b) any breach of or failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement by the Sellers or, prior to the Closing, the Company contained in this Agreement;

Section 9.3 Third Party Claims.

(a) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless as provided for under this Article 9 in respect of a claim or demand made by any third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the Sellers; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of an Indemnified Party in notifying the Sellers shall relieve the Sellers from their obligations hereunder unless the Sellers are thereby prejudiced (and then solely to the extent of such prejudice). Such notice shall reasonably summarize the bases for the claim for indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted by a third party.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall control and direct the defense against all Third Party Claims with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the Sellers with respect to such

counsel selection, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). The Indemnified Party shall conduct a good faith and diligent defense to any Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, that in no event shall the Indemnified Party enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Sellers shall at all times have the right to fully participate in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party Claim at its own expense directly or through counsel. The other Parties shall make available such information and assistance as the Indemnified Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with such defense, at the expense of the Sellers.

(c) This Section 9.3 shall not apply to any controversies regarding Tax Matters, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 7.2.

Section 9.4 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(a) The Sellers shall have no Indemnification Obligations and the Indemnified Parties shall have no recourse against the Escrow Fund for a claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a) until such time as (i) the amount of the Losses related to such individual claim, or any series of related claims, or any claims related to similar facts brought by different parties exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (which shall not be applied against the Deductible) and (ii) the total amount of all Losses in respect of all claims exceed sixteen million two hundred fifty thousand dollars $16,250,000 (the “Deductible”) in the aggregate, and then only in respect of such excess; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(a) shall not apply to claims under Section 9.2(a) in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation or any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.12 (Taxes).

(b) Recourse by the Indemnified Parties against the proceeds then remaining in the Escrow Fund shall be the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy in respect of the Sellers’ Indemnification Obligations for the matters referred to in Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations); provided, however, that the limitation contained in this sentence shall not prevent Purchaser from filing a claim under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy.

(c) To the extent that the Indemnified Parties are entitled to recovery under this Article 9 in excess of proceeds then remaining in the Escrow Fund, (i) the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover amounts directly from the Sellers under this Article 9 in respect of the Indemnification Obligations of the Sellers until such time as the Escrow Fund has been fully exhausted (provided that, in such event, to the extent such claims are covered under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, and except with respect Section 3.3 (Capitalization; Subsidiaries) and Section 4.4 (Capital Structure), the Indemnified Parties shall be obligated to claim first under such Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate Indemnification Obligations of the Sellers exceed the amount of the Purchase Price actually received by the Sellers, except solely in the case of fraud committed by the Sellers.

(d) Each Indemnified Party acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes hereof, Losses shall be calculated based on the amount of Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received prior to, or within in one (1) year after, the date on which such Losses are indemnified hereunder by an Indemnified Party with respect thereto (net of any actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in collecting such amounts).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any Losses pursuant to this Article 9 to the extent such Losses constitute special or punitive damages, except to the extent such Losses are included in an award of a court as direct damages against any Indemnified Party.

(f) The Sellers shall not have any Indemnification Obligations hereunder for any Losses arising out of a breach of or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (and the amount of any Losses incurred in respect of such breach or inaccuracy shall not be included in the calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent the matter giving rise to such breach or inaccuracy was expressly included as a liability in the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount.

(g) If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under more than one clause or subclause of this Agreement with respect to Losses, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to only one indemnification or recovery for such Losses to the extent it arises out of the same set of circumstances and events; it being understood that this Section 9.4(g) is solely to preclude a duplicate recovery by Indemnified Party.

(h) Except with respect to Taxes, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any loss for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement, to the extent consistent with the common law doctrine of mitigation.

Section 9.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except for (a) specific performance or injunctive relief or (b) determination of Final Adjustment Amount (which is governed by Section 2.7), from and after the Closing, the rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties (whether at law or in equity) with respect to any breach of this Agreement; provided, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any Party against any Person for fraud committed by such Person.

Section 9.6 Effect of Investigation. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or for any other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or any other writing delivered hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition to the obligation of any Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, where such condition is based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

Section 9.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Except as otherwise required by Law, the Parties and each Indemnified Party agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article 9 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

(d) by Purchaser if (i) the Outside Date has been extended pursuant to Section 10.1(c) above, (ii) at least seventeen (17) days prior to the Outside Date (as so extended), Purchaser provides written notice to the Company and the Sellers that Purchaser irrevocably waives any requirements of clause (iii) of the definition of Marketing Period that would prevent the Marketing Period from commencing as a result of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 not being satisfied and that the Marketing Period shall commence three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice and (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(f) have not be satisfied by 11:59 p.m., Mountain time, on the second (2^nd) Business Day after the date of the notice delivered pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii); and

(f) by the Company, the Sellers acting together or Purchaser in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Company and the Sellers shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable remedies to specifically enforce Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement only if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing but which are capable of being satisfied at the Closing), (ii) the Company and the Sellers have irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Purchaser that the Company and the Sellers stand ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing are funded and Purchaser complies with its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Closing would occur, (iii) the amounts committed to be funded under the Debt Commitment Letter have been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the amounts under the Equity Commitment Letter are funded at Closing, and (iv) Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing under the two periods defined in Section 2.3.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company or the Sellers be entitled to (i) obtain both specific performance pursuant to this Section 11.11 and the Reverse Termination Fee or (ii) seek specific performance after the Reverse Termination Fee has been paid in full; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Company or any Seller from simultaneously seeking specific performance and, in the alternative, payment of the Reverse Termination Fee.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing right of the Acquired Companies or Seller to cause Purchaser to comply with this Agreement, in no event shall the Acquired Companies (prior to the Closing Date) or any Seller itself be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of the Debt Commitment Letters against the Debt Financing Sources or any Debt Financing Source Related Party.

WHEREAS, each Transferor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) to, contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Company all of the assets and liabilities held by or in such Transferor’s name (including the Transferred Interests), other than the Retained Assets (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, FMR and Lanoga are the only members of the Company and parties to the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company (as amended and in effect, the “Operating Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) Subject to and in reliance upon the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4 below), at or prior to the Reorganization Closing (as defined below), each Transferor shall contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver

to the Company, and the Company shall acquire and accept, all of such Transferor’s right, title and interests in the Transferred Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances (except, in the case of the Transferred Interests, (w) Encumbrances arising under the Loan and Security Agreement, (x) restrictions on transfer imposed by federal and state securities Laws, (y) pursuant to the Operating Agreement or (z) the obligations of the Transferors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) (the “Contribution”), including, without limitation:

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Transferred Assets shall not include (A) the assets listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Retained Assets”) or (B) the liabilities listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Retained Liabilities”).

(b) In consideration of the Contribution:

(i) the Company shall assume and shall, from and after the Reorganization Closing, perform, satisfy and discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities (provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Assumed Liabilities shall not include the Retained Liabilities); and

(ii) at the Reorganization Closing, (A) the Company shall issue to each Transferor the Company LLC Interests set forth opposite such Transferor’s name on Schedule B to be attached hereto and (B) the Operating Agreement shall be amended order to (x) admit each of PB Capital and PBHI as a member of the Company and (y) reflect the issuance of Company LLC Interests as set forth on Schedule B to be attached hereto; provided that the Transferors shall deliver a copy of Schedule B to Purchaser not less than three (3) Business Days before the Reorganization Closing, and this Agreement shall, subject to Section 7(a), be amended by such Schedule B.

As a condition to the obligations of the Transferors and their respective Affiliates to provide the Company with benefits of any Nonassigned Asset, the Company shall perform, in accordance with the terms of (or the terms governing) such Nonassigned Asset, the obligations of such Transferor (or Affiliate thereof) under such Nonassigned Asset.

-3-

(b) the Company will (i) issue to each Transferor the number of Company LLC Interests set forth opposite such Transferor’s name on Schedule B and (ii) admit each Transferor (other than Lanoga) as a member of the Company; and

(c) each Transferor and the Company will execute and deliver the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the Bills of Sale and the IP Assignments, as applicable.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only with the prior written consent of Purchaser and in a writing signed by the Company and the Transferors. Any party may, with respect to such party, by action taken in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other parties contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if consented to in advance in writing by Purchaser and set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

(b) All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or if by facsimile, upon written confirmation of receipt by facsimile, or otherwise, (ii) on the first (1st) Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier, (iii) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (iv) when sent, if sent by electronic mail before 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day at the location of receipt and otherwise the next following Business Day.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of Delaware.

(g) Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by any other party or its successors or assigns may be brought and determined by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid court for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts). Each of the parties further agrees to accept service of process in any manner permitted by such court.

Exhibit B

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Escrow Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2015, is by and among Builders FirstSource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), FMR LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FMR”), Lanoga Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Lanoga”), ProBuild Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PB Capital”), and ProBuild Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with FMR, Lanoga and PB Capital the “Sellers” and, together with Purchaser, the “Escrow Parties”), and BNY Mellon, National Association, a national banking association with its principal place of business at XXX Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the “Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, Purchaser has agreed to acquire from the Sellers all of the outstanding equity interests in ProBuild Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April [ ], 2015, by and among Purchaser, the Company and the Sellers (the “Purchase Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement requires Purchaser to wire funds to the Escrow Agent on the date hereof solely for purposes of adjustments to the Purchase Price and the satisfaction of certain obligations to provide indemnification, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth their understandings with regard to the escrow account established by this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Agent. The Escrow Parties appoint the Escrow Agent as their agent to hold in escrow, and to administer the disposition of, the Escrow Fund (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent accepts such appointment.

2. Establishment of Escrow. Upon the execution of this Agreement, (a) Purchaser shall cause $[16,250,000] to be deposited with the Escrow Agent (the “Initial Deposit”), and the Escrow Agent shall promptly upon request acknowledge to the Escrow Parties or any of them receipt of any funds so deposited; and (b) Purchaser and the Sellers shall deliver one fully executed copy (original or PDF) of this Agreement to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Notice section below. The Escrow Parties shall notify the Escrow Agent by electronic mail of any additional funds deposited or to be deposited pursuant to Section 2.7(e) of the Purchase Agreement or otherwise (each such additional deposit, an “Additional Deposit” and, together with the Initial Deposit, the “Escrow Deposit”), whereupon any Additional Deposit so deposited shall become part of the Escrow Fund. The Initial Deposit and all additional amounts now or hereafter

deposited with the Escrow Agent (including any Additional Deposit), together with all interest, dividends and other income earned thereon, shall be referred to as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Parties acknowledge that the sum held in escrow hereunder may be reduced or increased from time to time during the term hereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the term “Escrow Fund” shall refer both to the Initial Deposit and to such lesser or greater amount as may be held pursuant hereto at any point during the term hereof.

3. Customer Identification and TIN Certification; Tax Matters. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal laws require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each individual or entity that opens an account. Therefore, the Escrow Agent must obtain the name, address, taxpayer or other government identification number, and other information, such as date of birth for individuals, for each individual and business entity that is a party to this Agreement. For individuals signing this Agreement on their own behalf or on behalf of another, the Escrow Agent requires a copy of a driver’s license, passport or other form of photo identification. For business and other entities that are parties to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will require such documents, as it deems necessary to confirm the legal existence of the entity.

At the time of or prior to execution of this Agreement, each Escrow Party shall provide a tax identification number for tax reporting purposes and shall provide to the Escrow Agent a completed IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, in the case of non U.S. persons), and every individual executing this Agreement on behalf of an Escrow Party shall provide to the Escrow Agent a copy of a driver’s license, passport or other form of photo identification acceptable to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Parties agree to provide to the Escrow Agent such organizational documents and documents establishing the authority of any individual acting in a representative capacity as the Escrow Agent may require in order to comply with its established practices, procedures and policies.

The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to report all interest and other income earned on the Escrow Fund in accordance with the IRS Form W-9 (or IRS Form W-8, if applicable) information provided to the Escrow Agent by Purchaser. The Escrow Parties understand that, in the event a tax identification number is not certified to the Escrow Agent, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”), may require withholding of a portion of any such interest or other income earned on or with respect to the Escrow Fund.

The Escrow Parties agree that to the extent permitted by applicable law, solely for income tax purposes, Purchaser shall be treated as owning the Escrow Funds, and all interest and earnings earned from the deposit of the Escrow Fund (including any compounding thereof), or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Purchaser in accordance with Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-8.

The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any information reports (including without limitation IRS Forms 1099-B) other than such information reports of interest earned on or with respect to the Escrow Fund as the Escrow Agent is required to prepare and file in the ordinary course of its business.

Within 45 days of the release and delivery of the Escrow Fund (or any portion thereof) to the Sellers, the Sellers and Purchaser shall in good faith determine an accounting of the payment, for tax purposes, setting forth the amount of the payment that constitutes interest and the amount of the payment that constitutes principal, computed in accordance with the principles of Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Escrow Parties shall file all tax returns on a basis consistent with the foregoing and take no inconsistent position on any tax return, in any audit or similar proceeding before any governmental authority, or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. law).

4. Deposit of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Fund in one or more deposit accounts at BNY Mellon, National Association in accordance with such joint written instructions and directions as may from time to time be provided to the Escrow Agent by both Purchaser and the Sellers. In the event that the Escrow Agent does not receive such joint written instructions, the Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Fund in a business savings account at BNY Mellon, National Association. Deposits shall in all instances be subject to the Escrow Agent’s standard funds availability policy. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate fluctuation or early withdrawal penalty. The Escrow Parties understand that deposits of the Escrow Fund are not necessarily insured by the United States Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or of any state or municipality, and that such deposits do not necessarily earn a fixed rate of return. In no instance shall the Escrow Agent have any obligation to provide investment advice of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any deposits made pursuant to this Section 4, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.

5. Release of the Escrow Fund.

(a) At any time or times on or before [ ]¹ (the “Escrow Release Date”), Purchaser may make claims (each, a “Claim”) against the Escrow Fund (x) in the event of any Deficit, by delivering notice to the Sellers within three (3) Business Days after the Determination Date pursuant to Section 2.7(e) of the Purchase Agreement (a “Purchase Price Adjustment Claim”) and/or (y) in accordance with Article 9 of the Purchase Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”).

In the case of a Purchase Price Adjustment Claim, Purchaser shall provide written notice of any such Purchase Price Adjustment Claim to the Sellers in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Within two (2) Business Days of delivery of notice of the Purchase Price Adjustment Claim to the Sellers, Purchaser and the Sellers shall deliver Joint Written Instructions (as hereinafter defined) to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser an amount equal to the Deficit (which Joint Written Instructions shall set forth the amount of the Deficit, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on such Joint Written Instructions without inquiry), and the Escrow Agent shall release such amount from the Escrow Fund to

¹	To be eighteen (18) months following the Closing.

Purchaser to the account specified by such Joint Written Instructions within three (3) business days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Joint Written Instructions or as soon thereafter as possible using commercially reasonable efforts.

In the case of an Indemnification Claim, Purchaser shall provide written notice of any such Indemnification Claim to the Sellers in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and shall simultaneously send a copy of such written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Escrow Agent. The Sellers shall have twenty (20) calendar days from the Escrow Agent’s receipt of any such Claim Notice to respond to such Indemnification Claim. If the Sellers agree with such Indemnification Claim (an “Agreed Claim”), then the Sellers shall deliver a written notice (“an “Agreed Claim Notice”) to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent within such twenty (20) calendar day period acknowledging such agreement and directing, in writing, the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser an amount equal to the amount claimed by Purchaser in such Claim Notice, and the Escrow Agent shall release such amount from the Escrow Fund to Purchaser to the account specified by Purchaser in writing within three (3) business days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Agreed Claim Notice or as soon thereafter as possible using commercially reasonable efforts. In the event the Sellers shall dispute such Indemnification Claim, in whole or in part, the Sellers shall within such twenty (20) calendar day period deliver written notice to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent (a “Claim Objection”) notifying each of the nature and basis of such dispute and the amount of the Claim disputed. If the Escrow Agent receives a Claim Objection within such twenty (20) calendar day period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the portion of the Claim amount specified by the Sellers as disputed in such Claim Objection and release the remaining undisputed portion of the Indemnification Claim amount to Purchaser to the account specified by Purchaser in writing. In the event the Escrow Agent does not receive either an Agreed Claim Notice or a Claim Objection within such twenty (20) calendar day period, such claim shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be an Agreed Claim and the dollar amount of such Indemnification Claim set forth in such Claim Notice shall be deemed to be final, undisputed and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall pay to Purchaser such amount within three (3) business days after the last day of such twenty (20) calendar day period or as soon thereafter as possible using commercially reasonable efforts.

(b) Within two (2) business days after the Escrow Release Date or as soon thereafter as possible using commercially reasonable efforts, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Sellers, pro rata in accordance with the percentage interests set forth in Exhibit C hereto and the payment instructions set forth in Exhibit B hereto, (i) the then remaining balance of the Escrow Fund minus, without duplication, (ii) the sum of (A) the amounts to be released to Purchaser pursuant to any Joint Written Instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent as of the Escrow Release Date in accordance with Section 5(a)(i) above (but only to the extent such amounts have

not as of such time been paid to Purchaser) plus (B) Claim Notices delivered to the Escrow Agent as of the Escrow Release Date and not yet objected to by the Sellers in accordance with Section 5(a)(ii) above minus (iii) the sum of all amounts specified by the Sellers in Claim Objections delivered on or prior to the Escrow Release Date that remain unresolved and subject to dispute as of the Escrow Release Date.

(c) If the Escrow Agent receives a Claim Objection as provided above, the Escrow Agent shall not disburse the disputed portion thereof pending either: (i) the Escrow Agent’s receipt of Joint Written Instructions from Purchaser and the Sellers specifying the agreement of such parties as to the action to be taken with respect to such Claim (any instructions with respect to an Indemnification Claim under Article 9 of the Purchase Agreement to be referred to as “Indemnity Payment Instructions”) or (ii) receipt by the Escrow Agent of a final non-appealable judgment, decree or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, a copy of which is delivered to the Escrow Agent by an authorized representative of Purchaser or a Seller, which judgment, decree or order has determined whether and to what extent Purchaser is entitled to the amount requested in such Claim Notice (such notice and decision with respect to an Indemnification Claim under Article 9 of the Purchase Agreement to be referred to as, collectively, an “Indemnity Determination Order”). A copy of such Indemnity Determination Order shall also be sent by Purchaser or a Seller, as the case may be, to the other party concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Escrow Agent. Within three (3) business days after receipt of Indemnity Payment Instructions or an Indemnity Determination Order or as soon thereafter as possible using commercially reasonable efforts, the Escrow Agent shall disburse amounts from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the instructions specified in the Indemnity Payment Instructions or Indemnity Determination Order, as the case may be. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for any fee or expense of any party to any proceeding. Any judgment, decree or order delivered to the Escrow Agent shall be accompanied by a certificate of the presenting party to the effect that such judgment is final and from a court of competent jurisdiction or administrative agency having proper authority and that the judgment, decree or order has determined whether and to what extent Purchaser is entitled to the amount requested in the applicable Claim Notice, upon which certificate the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely without further investigation or inquiry.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Escrow Agent receives written instructions from all of the Escrow Parties, or their respective successors or assigns, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, as to the disbursement of the Escrow Fund or any portion thereof (“Joint Written Instructions”), the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to such Joint Written Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to follow any directions set forth in any Joint Written Instructions unless and until the Escrow Agent is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the persons executing said Joint Written Instructions are authorized to do so.

(e) Unless otherwise set forth in Joint Written Instructions, at the time of any distribution of the Escrow Deposit, an additional amount shall be paid out to the Escrow Party (or Escrow Parties) receiving such portion of the Escrow Deposit at such time equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all interest and income posted to the account in which the Escrow Deposit is held through the date of such distribution (including any interest and income previously distributed hereunder) multiplied by (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the amount of

such distribution less any portion of such distribution that is identified in the Joint Written Instructions as consisting of interest on a Loss and (y) the denominator of which is (1) the aggregate amount of the Initial Deposit and all Additional Deposits minus (2) the amount of any prior distributions of the Escrow Deposit.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any amount to be released at any time or under any circumstances exceeds the balance in the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall release the balance in the Escrow Fund and shall have no liability or responsibility to the Escrow Parties for any deficiency.

6. Methods of Payment. All payments required to be made by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer or by check in accordance with written payment instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by the party receiving the funds. Any wire transfers shall be made subject to, and in accordance with, the Escrow Agent’s normal funds transfer procedures in effect from time to time. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon all bank and account information provided to the Escrow Agent by any of the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to verify or otherwise confirm any written wire transfer instructions but it may do so in its discretion on any occasion without incurring any liability to any of the Escrow Parties for failing to do so on any other occasion. Any such verification may include, but not be limited to, a telephone call to the party receiving the funds or to one or more of the Escrow Parties in accordance with Section 14. The Escrow Parties agree that any such call back is a commercially reasonable security procedure and that the Escrow Agent may record such calls according to the Escrow Agent’s standard operating procedures or as the Escrow Agent deems appropriate for security and/or service purposes. The Escrow Agent shall process all wire transfers based on bank identification and account numbers rather than the names of the intended recipient of the funds, even if such numbers pertain to a recipient other than the recipient identified in the payment instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to detect any such inconsistencies and shall resolve any such inconsistencies by using the account number. Attached as Exhibit B is the wire transfer information for the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Parties shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent of any changes to their wire transfer information contained in Exhibit B and the Escrow Agent may rely on the wire transfer information contained in Exhibit B until notified of a change in writing.

7. Responsibilities and Liability of Escrow Agent.

(a) Duties Limited. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined only with reference to this Agreement and applicable laws and it shall have no implied duties. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by, deemed to have knowledge of, or have any obligation to make inquiry into or consider, any term or provision of any agreement between any of the Escrow Parties and/or any other third party or as to which the escrow relationship created by this Agreement relates, including without limitation any documents referenced in this Agreement.

(b) Limitations on Liability of Escrow Agent. Except in cases of the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected (i) in acting in reliance upon any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, instruction, direction,

other agreement or instrument or signature reasonably and in good faith believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine, (ii) in assuming that any person purporting to give the Escrow Agent any of the foregoing in connection with either this Agreement or the Escrow Agent’s duties, has been duly authorized to do so, and (iii) in acting or failing to act in good faith on the advice of any counsel retained by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or law or any error of judgment, or for any act or omission, except as a result of its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss incurred upon any action taken under circumstances not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

In connection with any payments that the Escrow Agent is instructed to make by wire transfer, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of: (x) any Escrow Party or other person providing such instructions, including without limitation errors as to the amount, bank information or bank account number; or (y) any other person or entity, including without limitation any Federal Reserve Bank, any transmission or communications facility, any funds transfer system, any receiver or receiving depository financial institution, and no such person or entity shall be deemed to be an agent of the Escrow Agent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that in no event will the Escrow Agent be liable for any lost profits or other indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages which the parties may incur or experience by reason of having entered into or relied on this Agreement or arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s services, even if the Escrow Agent was advised or otherwise made aware of the possibility of such damages; nor shall the Escrow Agent be liable for acts of God, acts of war, breakdowns or malfunctions of machines or computers, interruptions or malfunctions of communications or power supplies, labor difficulties, actions of public authorities, or any other similar cause or catastrophe beyond the Escrow Agent’s reasonable control.

In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights under this Agreement, or shall receive any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, instruction, direction or other agreement or instrument from any other party with respect to the Escrow Fund which, in the Escrow Agent’s reasonable and good faith opinion, is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or shall be advised that a dispute has arisen with respect to the Escrow Fund or any part thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, without liability to any person, to refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Escrow Fund until the Escrow Agent shall be directed otherwise in accordance with Joint Written Instructions or an order of a court with jurisdiction over the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to institute or defend any legal proceedings, although the Escrow Agent may, in its discretion and at the expense of the Escrow Parties as provided in subsections (c) or (d) immediately below, institute or defend such proceedings.

(c) Indemnification of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings, investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of attorneys chosen by the Escrow Agent) as and when incurred, arising out of or based upon any act, omission, alleged act or

alleged omission by the Escrow Agent or any other cause, in any case in connection with the acceptance of, or performance or non-performance by the Escrow Agent of, any of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, except as a result of the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(d) Authority to Interplead. The Escrow Parties authorize the Escrow Agent, if the Escrow Agent is threatened with litigation or is sued, to interplead all interested parties in any court of competent jurisdiction and to deposit the Escrow Fund with the clerk of that court. In the event of any dispute under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction and shall perform any acts ordered by such court.

8. Termination. This Agreement and all the obligations of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 3) shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the release of the entire Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the deposit of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 7(d) hereof.

9. Removal of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Parties acting together shall have the right to terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation to the Escrow Parties except to hold the Escrow Fund as depository and not otherwise. The Escrow Parties agree that they will jointly appoint a banking corporation, trust company or attorney as successor escrow agent. The Escrow Agent shall refrain from taking any action until it shall receive joint written instructions from the Escrow Parties designating the successor escrow agent. The Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the remaining balance of the Escrow Fund to such successor escrow agent in accordance with such instructions and upon receipt of such remaining balance of the Escrow Fund, the successor escrow agent shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.

10. Resignation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder at any time by giving no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Escrow Parties, specifying the date when such resignation will take effect. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation to the Escrow Parties except to hold the Escrow Fund as depository and not otherwise. In the event of such resignation, the Escrow Parties agree that they will jointly appoint a banking corporation, trust company, or attorney as successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days of notice of such resignation. The Escrow Agent shall refrain from taking any action until it shall receive joint written instructions from the Escrow Parties designating the successor escrow agent. The Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the then remaining balance of the Escrow Fund to such successor escrow agent in accordance with such instructions and upon receipt of the Escrow Fund, the successor escrow agent shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.

11. Accounting. On a monthly basis, the Escrow Agent shall render a written statement setting forth the balance of the Escrow Fund, all interest earned and all distributions made, which statements shall be delivered to the following address(es) set forth below (limit of five):

13. Escrow Agent Fees, Costs, and Expenses. The Escrow Agent shall charge a wiring fee of $30 per wire transfer, which fee shall be borne by Purchaser (for the avoidance of doubt, such wiring fee shall be the sole fee charged by the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement). The Escrow Parties agree that Escrow Agent shall be entitled to pay itself for any unpaid fees, expenses or other amounts owed to the Escrow Agent out of the amounts held in the Escrow Fund and grant to the Escrow Agent a first priority security interest in the Escrow Fund to secure all obligations owed by them to the Escrow Agent under this Agreement. The Escrow Parties further agree that the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to withhold any distribution otherwise required to be made from the Escrow Fund if any fees, expenses or other amounts owed to the Escrow Agent remain unpaid on the date such distribution would otherwise be made.

14. Notices.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) neither the commencement nor the completion of any syndication of the Facilities (including the successful syndication thereof), nor your compliance with any of the provisions of this Commitment Letter (other than the Limited Conditionality Provisions (as defined below)) (including the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the ratings referenced above) shall constitute a condition to our commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date and (ii) the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Commitment Parties hereunder are those required to be delivered pursuant to Exhibit E hereto.

The Arrangers will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication of the Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions (excluding Disqualified Lenders) reasonably acceptable to you (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to your consent rights set forth in the second preceding paragraph and excluding Disqualified Lenders), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders (subject to your prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders.

You agree to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities that consists exclusively of information of a type that does not include MNPI. The information to be included in the additional version of the Information Materials will not, for the avoidance of doubt, be required to be any more expansive than the information included in the version of the Information Materials provided to the Private Xxxxxx. It is understood that, in connection with your assistance described above, you shall, or shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to, provide us with customary authorization letters (including customary representations with respect to accuracy of information) for inclusion in any Information Materials that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders, represent that the additional version of the Information Materials does not include any MNPI and contains customary disclaimers and exculpates you, the Investors, the Company, the Sellers and us regarding the use of the contents of the Information Materials or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Xxxxxx as “Public Sider Information”, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the words “PUBLIC SIDER” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof. By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC SIDER”,


		7		[Commitment Letter]

you shall be deemed to have authorized the Commitment Parties and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any MNPI (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to xxxx the Information Materials “PUBLIC SIDER”).

You acknowledge and agree that the following documents may be distributed to both Private Xxxxxx and Public Xxxxxx, unless you advise us in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private Xxxxxx: (a) administrative materials prepared by us for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets and notification of changes in the Facilities’ terms and conditions and (c) drafts and final versions of the Facilities Documentation (as defined in Exhibit D). If you advise us in writing (including by email), within a reasonable period of time prior to dissemination, that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private Xxxxxx, then we will only distribute such materials to Private Xxxxxx.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, (i) no party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such person or any of such person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (ii) none of we, you, the Investors, the Company or any affiliate of any of the foregoing, any officer, director, employee, agent, controlling person, advisor or other representative of the foregoing or any successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Transactions (including the Facilities and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Facilities, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Facilities Documentation; provided that nothing contained in clause (ii) above shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph in respect of any third party claims alleging such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Person will be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by you under the immediately preceding paragraph to the extent it has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 7.

You shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrong doing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.


		12		[Commitment Letter]

In case any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnified Person for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, then such Indemnified Person will promptly notify you of the commencement of any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify you will not relieve you from any liability that you may have to such Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7 or from any liability that you may have to such Indemnified Person other than pursuant to this Section 7, except to the extent that you are materially prejudiced by such failure. In connection with any one claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, you will not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm for all Indemnified Persons plus additional conflicts and local counsel as provided herein.

EXHIBIT A

Project Renovation

Transaction Description

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) to which this Exhibit A is attached or in the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit A shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.

Builders FirstSource, Inc. (the “Borrower” or “you”) intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests of an entity previously identified to us by you as “Renovation” (the “Company”) pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement (as defined below).

In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:

a)	The Borrower will receive cash proceeds from the issuance of equity in the form of common equity or “qualified preferred” equity reasonably acceptable to the Initial Lenders having a gross aggregate amount not less than $100 million (the “*Equity Issuance*”).

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (together with all exhibits, schedules, annexes and disclosure schedules thereto, collectively, the “Acquisition Agreement”) dated the date hereof among the Borrower and the sellers identified therein (each a “Seller” and collectively the “Sellers”), the Borrower will purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers will sell to the Borrower, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests of the Company.

The Borrower will obtain senior secured credit facilities comprised of (i) an $800 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) and (ii) a $550 million first-lien term loan facility (the “First-Lien Facility” and the First-Lien Term Loans thereunder, the “Initial First-Lien Term Loans”); provided that in order to avoid funding into a default under the Existing Indenture, the Borrower may elect at its option (such election, the “Backstop Election”) (prior to the launch of syndication of the First-Lien Facility) to increase the amount of the First-Lien Facility, to the extent any Backstop Term Loans (as defined below) borrowed thereunder are used to repay, redeem, satisfy and discharge, or defease all of the Existing Senior Notes (used herein as defined in Exhibit C hereto), by an amount not to exceed (x) $350 million, plus (y) an amount equal to any applicable make-whole premium required by the Existing Indenture (as determined prior to the launch of syndication ) with respect to the Existing Senior Notes (the sum of $350 million (as set forth in clause (x) above), plus the amount of such make-whole premium set forth in clause (y), the “Backstop Amount”); provided that at the time of and after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the Transactions, including the incurrence of any such Backstop Term Loans under this clause (y) on the Closing Date, the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in Exhibit C hereto)

[Commitment Letter]

A-1

(excluding all ABL Loans outstanding under the ABL Facility at such time which are being used for working capital purposes) shall not exceed 4.25:1.00 (as determined on the Closing Date) (such First-Lien Term Loans incurred pursuant to the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), the “Backstop Term Loans” and together with the Initial First-Lien Term Loans, the “First-Lien Term Loans”). The First-Lien Facility and the ABL Facility are referred to herein, when taken together, as the “Senior Secured Facilities”. For the avoidance of doubt, the Backstop Term Loans shall have identical terms to the Initial First-Lien Term Loans and be treated as First-Lien Term Loans for all purposes hereunder, with a corresponding pro rata increase in the commitment of each Initial First-Lien Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Borrower has made the Backstop Election and (a) the recovery rating issued by S&P with respect to the First-Lien Term Loans would be either Category 4, Category 5 or Category 6, as determined prior to launch of the syndication of such First-Lien Term Loans or (b) the Borrower fails to procure a recovery rating prior to the launch of the syndication of the First-Lien Term Loans, the Majority First-Lien Lenders shall be permitted, to require that the Borrower, at its option, (i) issue and sell senior secured notes (the “Secured Backstop Notes”) in a Rule 144A or other private placement on or prior to the Closing Date yielding up to an amount equal to the Backstop Amount in gross cash proceeds (such amount, the “Secured Notes Backstop Amount”) and/or (ii) if and to the extent that gross cash proceeds in an amount less than the Secured Notes Backstop Amount are received from the Secured Backstop Notes issued on or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower may incur up to an amount equal to the Secured Notes Backstop Amount of senior secured increasing rate loans less the amount of the Secured Backstop Notes issued on the Closing Date (“Secured Backstop Bridge Loans”) under a senior secured credit facility (the “Secured Backstop Bridge Facility”). The Secured Backstop Bridge Facility shall have the same terms as those set forth on Exhibit D to the Commitment Letter with respect to the Bridge Facility (as defined below); provided that such Secured Backstop Bridge Loans shall (a) be secured upon the terms set forth in the section entitled “Security” in Exhibit C hereto, (b) have a maturity date that is 7.0 years from the Closing Date and (c) have an “Initial Margin” equal to 5.75% and the “Total Cap” with respect to such Secured Backstop Bridge Loans shall be the Secured Total Cap (as defined in the Fee Letter) in lieu of the “Unsecured Total Cap”.

The Borrower will, at its option, (i) issue and sell senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in a Rule 144A or other private placement on or prior to the Closing Date yielding up to $750 million in gross cash proceeds and/or (ii) if and to the extent that less than $750 million in gross cash proceeds are received from the Notes issued on or prior to the Closing Date, up to $750 million of senior unsecured increasing rate loans less the amount of the Notes issued on the Closing Date (the “Initial Bridge Loans”) under a senior unsecured credit facility described in Exhibit D to the Commitment Letter (the “Bridge Facility” and together with the Senior Secured Facilities and the Secured Backstop Bridge Facility, the “Facilities”); provided that in the event that the Borrower has made the Backstop Election and (a) the recovery rating issued by S&P with respect to the First-Lien Term Loans would be either Category 4, Category 5 or Category 6, as determined prior to launch of the syndication of such First-Lien Term Loans or (b) the Borrower fails to procure a recovery rating prior to the launch of the syndication of the

First-Lien Term Loans, the Majority First-Lien Lenders shall be permitted, if it results in an improvement in such recovery rating set forth in clause (a) above, to require that the Borrower to increase (by an amount not to exceed $150 million), at its option, (i) the amount of Notes issued (any such notes, the “Unsecured Backstop Notes”) and/or (ii) the amount of the Bridge Facility incurred, less the amount of Unsecured Backstop Notes issued pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), in each case in lieu of Backstop Term Loans and/or Secured Backstop Bridge Loans (any such loans incurred pursuant to clause (ii), the “Backstop Bridge Loans” and together with the Initial Bridge Loans, the “Bridge Loans”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Backstop Bridge Loans shall have identical terms to the Initial Bridge Loans and be treated as Bridge Loans for all purposes hereunder, with a corresponding pro rata increase in the commitment of each Bridge Lender hereunder. The Unsecured Backstop Notes shall have identical terms to the Notes and be treated as Notes for all purposes hereunder.

All of the existing third party indebtedness for borrowed money of (i) the Borrower and its subsidiaries under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 29, 2013, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof among Builders FirstSource, Inc., as borrower, the lenders party thereto and SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (the “Builders Credit Agreement”) and (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries under (x) that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 12, 2012, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof among, inter alios, ProBuild Company LLC, Lanoga Corporation, ProBuild North Transportation, LLC, Timber Roots, LLC, Xxxxxxx Builders Supply LLC and ProBuild Company California Contractors LP, as borrowers, ProBuild Holdings, Inc. and ProBuild Holdings LLC as guarantors, the lenders and issuing bank from time to time party thereto and Xxxxx Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as administrative agent and (y) those certain Unsecured Subordinated Notes, due January 27, 2017, in each case, will be refinanced, repaid, redeemed, satisfied and discharged, or defeased, and all related commitments terminated and liens released (collectively, the “Refinancing”).

The proceeds of the Equity Issuance, the Facilities funded on the Closing Date, the Notes (if any), the Secured Backstop Notes (if any), and cash on hand of the Company or the Borrower, if applicable, will be applied to pay (i) the consideration in connection with the Acquisition and any other payments required under the Acquisition Agreement, (ii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (such fees and expenses, the “Transaction Costs”) and (iii) the Refinancing (the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, collectively, the “Acquisition Costs”) with any remainder to be credited to the account of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for general corporate purposes.

EXHIBIT B

Project Renovation

$800 million Senior Secured ABL Facility

Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions¹


Borrower:		The Borrower as set forth in Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter. In addition to the Borrower, one or more wholly owned domestic operating subsidiaries of the Borrower that hold assets constituting part of the Borrowing Base and mutually agreed by the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent (as defined below) shall be co-borrowers with the Borrower with each being jointly and severally liable for all borrowings.

Transactions:		As set forth in Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter.

ABL Administrative Agent and ABL Collateral Agent:		SunTrust will act as sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent (in such capacities, the “*ABL Administrative Agent”) for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and excluding any Disqualified Lenders (together with the Initial ABL Lender, the “ABL Lenders*”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles.

ABL Arrangers and Bookrunners:		Each of STRH, Citi, CS, DBSI and KeyBanc will act as a lead arranger and bookrunner for the ABL Facility and will perform the duties customarily associated with such role.

ABL Facility:		A non-amortizing senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “*ABL Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million (the loans thereunder, the “ABL Loans*”). The ABL Loans will be subject to availability as described under the heading “Availability” below.

Swingline Loans:		In connection with the ABL Facility, one of the ABL Arrangers or another ABL Lender acceptable to the Borrower (in such capacity, the “*Swingline Lender*”) will make available to the Borrower a swingline facility under which the Borrower may make short-term borrowings in dollars upon same-day notice (in minimum amounts to be mutually agreed upon and integral multiples to be agreed upon) of up to an amount equal to $65 million. Except for purposes of calculating the commitment fee described below, any such swingline borrowings will reduce availability under the ABL Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

¹	All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Commitment Letter to which this term sheet is attached, including Exhibit A thereto.

[Commitment Letter]

B-1


		The ABL Lenders will be unconditionally obligated to purchase participations in any swingline loan pro rata based upon their commitments under the ABL Facility.

		If any ABL Lender becomes a “defaulting Lender”, then the swingline exposure of such defaulting Lender will automatically be reallocated among the non-defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the ABL Facility up to an amount such that the revolving credit exposure of such non-defaulting Lender does not exceed its commitments. In the event such reallocation does not fully cover the exposure of such defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender may require the Borrower to repay such “uncovered” exposure in respect of the swingline loans and will have no obligation to make new swingline loans to the extent such swingline loans would exceed the commitments of the non-defaulting ABL Lenders.

Letters of Credit:		Up to $200 million of the ABL Facility will be available to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries for the purpose of issuing letters of credit. Letters of credit under the ABL Facility will be issued by one of the ABL Arrangers and/or other ABL Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that all ABL Lenders on the date of the initial funding of the Facilities (such date, the “*Closing Date”) shall be acceptable) (each an “Issuing Bank”) on terms and conditions consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles. Each letter of credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) 12 months after its date of issuance and (b) the fifth business day prior to the final maturity of the ABL Facility; provided* that any letter of credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above), except to the extent cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank. The face amount of any outstanding letter of credit (and, without duplication, any unpaid drawing in respect thereof) issued under the ABL Facility will reduce availability under the ABL Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

		Drawings under any letter of credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of loans under the ABL Facility) within one business day after notice of such drawing is received by the Borrower from the relevant Issuing Bank. The ABL Lenders will be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to acquire participations in each letter of credit issued under the ABL Facility, pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the ABL Facility, and to fund such participations in the event the Borrower does not reimburse an Issuing Bank for drawings within the time period specified above.

[Commitment Letter]

B-2


		If any ABL Lender becomes a “defaulting Lender”, then the ABL Facility letter of credit exposure of such defaulting Lender will automatically be reallocated among the non-defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the ABL Facility up to an amount such that the revolving credit exposure of such non-defaulting Lender does not exceed its commitments. In the event that such reallocation does not fully cover the exposure of such defaulting Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank may require the Borrower to cash collateralize such “uncovered” exposure in respect of each outstanding letter of credit and will have no obligation to issue new letters of credit, or to extend, renew or amend existing letters of credit to the extent letter of credit exposure would exceed the commitments of the non-defaulting Lenders, unless such “uncovered” exposure is cash collateralized to the Issuing Bank’s reasonable satisfaction.

Limited Conditionality Provision:		For purposes of determining pro forma compliance with any Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in the ABL Facility, the amount or availability of any basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, or whether a default or event of default has occurred and is continuing (other than for purposes of the section titled “Conditions to All Borrowings” set forth below except as expressly set forth therein with respect to any Incremental Revolving Facility), in each case in connection with the consummation of an acquisition or an investment that the Borrower or one or more of its subsidiaries is contractually committed to consummate (it being understood that such commitment may be subject to conditions precedent, which conditions precedent may be amended, satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement) and whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (any such acquisition or investment, a “*Limited Conditionality Transaction*”), the date of determination shall, at the option of the Borrower, be the time the definitive agreements for such acquisition or investment are entered into after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition or investment and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable test period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any of such ratios or amounts are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the person subject to such acquisition or investment, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or

[Commitment Letter]

B-3


		taken; provided that (i) no such acquisition or investment shall constitute a Limited Conditionality Transaction unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied on a pro forma basis at the time the definitive agreements for such acquisition or investment are entered into, and (ii) if the Borrower elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement, the indebtedness to be incurred (and any associated lien) shall be deemed incurred at the time of such election (until such time as the indebtedness is actually incurred or the applicable acquisition agreement is terminated without actually consummating the applicable acquisition) and outstanding thereafter for purposes of pro forma compliance with any applicable Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in the ABL Facility.

Incremental Facilities:		Provided that there is no event of default then existing or which would arise therefrom (except if the proceeds of any Incremental Revolving Facility are being used to finance a Limited Conditionality Transaction), the Borrower shall be entitled on one or more occasions (in minimum amounts to be agreed) to request that the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility be increased in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500 million (any such increase, an “*Incremental Revolving Facility*”), it being understood that no ABL Lender shall have any obligation to provide any portion of such Incremental Revolving Facility. The terms (other than pricing, which will be subject to a 50 basis point MFN provision consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles) of each Incremental Revolving Facility shall be identical to the ABL Facility or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the ABL Administrative Agent (it being understood that terms not substantially identical to the ABL Facility which are applicable only after the then-existing ABL Termination Date are acceptable) and each Incremental Revolving Facility will be made as an increase in the commitment amount of the ABL Facility. The financial institutions party to any Incremental Revolving Facility that are not already ABL Lenders shall, subject to the consent of the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), become ABL Lenders under the ABL Facility.

Purpose:		Subject to Availability (as defined below), the proceeds of loans under the ABL Facility will be used (a) on the Closing Date, to fund Acquisition Costs, cash collateralize, replace or provide credit support (including by “grandfathering” such existing letters of credit into the ABL Facility) for any existing letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date under facilities no longer available to the

[Commitment Letter]

B-4


		Borrower, the Company or their respective subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, to fund any additional upfront fees or original issue discount implemented pursuant to the “market flex” provisions of the Fee Letter and to fund any working capital needs in excess of average working capital and (b) after the Closing Date (i) to finance working capital from time to time for the Borrower and its subsidiaries, and (ii) for other general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, for acquisitions, restricted payments, investments and payments with respect to debt obligations); provided that amounts borrowed and used to fund Acquisition Costs on the Closing Date shall not exceed $295 million; provided further that the amount permitted to be borrowed pursuant to the foregoing proviso shall be adjusted in an amount equal to (x) the difference between Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and Target Working Capital (each as defined in, and as determined pursuant to, Section 2.7 of the Acquisition Agreement) plus (y) the amount that would be required, if any, to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Borrower’s outstanding borrowings under the Builder’s Credit Agreement, as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, to $50 million. Additionally, letters of credit may be issued on the Closing Date in order to, among other things, backstop or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date under facilities no longer available to the Company or its subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and for other purposes to be mutually agreed. Otherwise, letters of credit and ABL Loans will be available after the Closing Date and at any time prior to the final maturity of the ABL Facility, in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed upon. Amounts repaid under the ABL Facility may be reborrowed.

Availability:		Availability under the ABL Facility (the “*Availability”) will be equal to the lesser of (a) the then available unutilized commitments under the ABL Facility and (b) the then available unutilized Borrowing Base (as defined below). “Borrowing Base” shall mean (a) 85% of eligible receivables (to be defined in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles), plus (b) 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value (as defined below, “NOLV*”) of eligible inventory, plus (c) 90% of the face amount of eligible credit card receivables (to be defined in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles), plus (d) the lesser of (i) $30 million or (ii) 85% of eligible unbilled receivables (to be defined in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles), plus (e) the lesser of (i) $25 million or (ii) 65% of eligible xxxxxxxx (to be defined in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles), plus (f) 100% of eligible cash held in a deposit account either (x) maintained with the ABL Administrative Agent or (y) over which the ABL Administrative Agent has a perfected security interest, minus (g) customary reserves.

[Commitment Letter]

B-5

“NOLV” means the net appraised recovery value of eligible inventory as set forth in the Borrower’s books and records (expressed as a percentage of the cost of such inventory) as reasonably determined from time to time by reference to the most recent appraisal received by the ABL Administrative Agent conducted by an independent appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Administrative Agent.

The Borrowing Base shall be computed on a monthly basis pursuant to a monthly borrowing base certificate to be delivered by the Borrower to the ABL Administrative Agent on the twentieth day of each month (or if during a Cash Dominion Period on a more frequent basis (but not more frequently than weekly) as shall be reasonably determined by the ABL Administrative Agent).

Eligibility criteria and reserves (including hedging reserves, if applicable) shall be consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles and shall initially be based on field exams and on appraisals conducted by the ABL Arrangers (collectively, the “Initial Field Exams and Appraisals”).

In the event the ABL Administrative Agent has not received the Initial Field Exams and Appraisals prior to the Closing Date as provided in Section 3 of the Commitment Letter, the Borrower shall ensure that the ABL Administrative Agent and its advisors and consultants shall have sufficient access and relevant information relating to the Borrower and Guarantors and their assets to complete the Initial Field Exams and Appraisals on or before the 90th day after the Closing Date (or such later date as the ABL Administrative Agent may agree) and during the period from the Closing Date and until the ABL Administrative Agent’s receipt and reasonable opportunity to review the Initial Field Exams and Appraisals, Availability shall be based on an alternative borrowing base (the “Alternative Borrowing Base”) equal to (a) 65% of the book value of receivables, plus (b) 45% of the book value of inventory, plus (c) 100% of eligible cash held in a deposit account maintained with the ABL Administrative Agent and over which the ABL Administrative Agent has a perfected security interest. On and after the ABL Administrative Agent’s receipt and reasonable opportunity to review the Initial Field Exams and Appraisals and receipt of a Borrowing Base certificate in respect thereof along with customary supporting documentation, Availability shall no longer be based on the Alternative Borrowing Base but shall be based on the Borrowing Base as provided above.

[Commitment Letter]

B-6


		For the avoidance of doubt, if the ABL Administrative Agent does not receive the Initial Field Exams and Appraisals on or prior to the 90th day after the Closing Date (subject to any extension by the ABL Administrative Agent as set forth above), Availability shall be zero on and after such 90th day (subject to any extension by the ABL Administrative Agent) until the ABL Administrative Agent’s receipt and reasonable opportunity to review the Initial Field Exams and Appraisals.

Interest Rates and Fees:		As set forth on Annex I to this Exhibit B.

Default Rate:		Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a payment Event of Default, all overdue principal amounts will bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum, and overdue interest, fees and expenses shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to ABR loans (as defined in Annex I to this Exhibit B) plus 2.00% per annum and in each case, shall be payable on demand and shall begin to accrue from the date of such Specified Event of Default.

Final Maturity and Amortization:		The ABL Facility will mature, and the lending commitments thereunder will terminate, on the date that is five years after the Closing Date (the “*ABL Termination Date”); provided* that the ABL Documentation shall provide the right for individual ABL Lenders to agree to extend the maturity date of the outstanding ABL Loans and commitments upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other ABL Lender.

Guarantees:		Subject to the Certain Funds Provisions, all obligations of the Borrower under the ABL Facility (the “*ABL Borrower Obligations”) and, at the Borrower’s option, under any interest rate protection or other swap or hedging arrangements or cash management arrangements entered into with an ABL Lender, the ABL Administrative Agent or any affiliate of an ABL Lender or the ABL Administrative Agent (“Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements”) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis (but subject to the priorities set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement) (the “ABL Guarantees”) by each Guarantor (as defined in that certain Indenture dated as of May 29, 2013, among the Borrower, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (as defined therein) and the Guarantors (as defined therein) party thereto (the “Existing Indenture”)) under the Existing Indenture, the Company and each wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company that would be required to become a guarantor under the Existing Indenture if it were a subsidiary of the Borrower, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and limitations consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles (the “Guarantors*”).

[Commitment Letter]

B-7


		The Borrower may, at its option, cause any domestic or, as reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents, foreign Restricted Subsidiary that is not a wholly owned subsidiary (including any consolidated affiliate in which the Borrower and its subsidiaries own no equity interest) to become a Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the cost, burden, difficulty or consequence of providing such a guarantee outweighs the value afforded thereby.

Security:		Subject to the limitations set forth below in this section and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below) and the Certain Funds Provision, the ABL Borrower Obligations, the ABL Guarantees and, at the Borrower’s option, the Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements will be secured by (a) a perfected first-priority security interest in all personal property of the Borrower and the Guarantors consisting of ABL Collateral (as defined in the Builders Credit Agreement (as defined below)) (the “*ABL Facility Collateral”) and (b) a perfected second-priority security interest in the First-Lien Facility Collateral (as defined in Exhibit C hereto) (together with the ABL Facility Collateral, the “Collateral*”), in each case subject to permitted liens, including in respect of the First-Lien Facility and to exceptions and limitations consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles. In addition, the ABL Administrative Agent will be granted the right to use trademarks, trade names and other intellectual property in connection with the sale of inventory or accounts receivable under a royalty free license agreement.

		The Borrower shall not be required to seek any landlord lien waiver, estoppel, warehouseman waiver or other collateral access or similar letter or agreement; provided that the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same for any location where inventory is located in excess of an amount to be agreed upon and where the Borrower’s books and records are located; provided further that the failure to obtain the same shall not cause an event of default or result in inventory or accounts receivable becoming ineligible, but the ABL Administrative Agent may impose a customary rent reserve for any such location located in a “landlord-lien state”.

		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower and the subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required, nor shall the ABL Administrative Agent be authorized, (i) to perfect the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant State(s) and filings in the applicable real estate

All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms to be set forth in the ABL Documentation; and none of the Collateral shall be subject to other pledges, security interests or mortgages (except liens relating to the First-Lien Facility, permitted liens and other exceptions and baskets to be set forth in the ABL Documentation).

Intercreditor Matters:		The lien priority, relative rights and other creditors’ rights issues in respect of the Collateral among the ABL Lenders, the First-Lien Lenders, the holders of the Existing Senior Notes and holders of Secured Backstop Notes or the lenders of the Secured Backstop Bridge Loans (if applicable) will be set forth in a customary intercreditor agreement (the “*Intercreditor Agreement”) substantially identical to that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2013, among the Borrower, SunTrust Bank, as ABL Agent (as defined therein), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Notes Collateral Agent (as defined therein) and the other parties thereto (the “Existing Intercreditor Agreement”); provided* that to the extent that the Existing Senior Notes remain outstanding after the Closing Date, the Existing Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control the lien priority, relative rights and other creditors’ rights issues in respect of the Collateral among the parties listed above.

Cash Management/Cash Dominion:		The Borrower shall deliver account control agreements on the Borrower’s deposit accounts and other accounts to be mutually determined within 90 days after the Closing Date, subject to extensions agreed to by the ABL Administrative Agent.

Mandatory Prepayments:		If at any time the sum of the amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility (including the letter of credit outstandings (except to the extent cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped) and Swingline Loans thereunder) exceeds the Line Cap, prepayments of ABL Loans and/or Swingline Loans (and/or the cash collateralization of letters of credit) shall be required in an amount equal to such excess.

Negative Covenants:		Consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles, limited to the negative covenants set forth in the section titled “Negative Covenants” (as qualified by the exceptions set forth therein) in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter and substantially identical to such negative covenants included in the First-Lien Documentation (except that the ABL Documentation shall replace any “Available Amount” basket or baskets with an “Available Equity Amount” basket, as defined in accordance with the ABL Documentation Principles), but modified pursuant to the ABL Documentation Principles.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Specified Default is then continuing, subject to the Borrower having (A) pro forma (for any of the actions to be taken in clauses (i) through (iv) below) Excess Availability of the greater of (I) $80 million (or $100 million with respect to clause (i) below) or (II) 10% (or 12.5% with respect to clause (i) below) of the Line Cap and (B) a pro forma (for any of the actions to be taken in clauses (i) through (iv) below) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ((x) with Consolidated EBITDA defined as set forth in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter, (y) with fixed charges to be defined in a manner consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles and (z) to be tested for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters) of greater than 1.00:1.00, the ABL Documentation will, among other exceptions, permit (i) dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock, (ii) investments and acquisitions, (iii) liens that are secured by the ABL Priority Collateral on a junior basis, (iv) the incurrence of unsecured, non-amortizing long term debt with maturities six-months later than the ABL Facility and (v) the repurchase, redemption or prepayment of subordinated debt; provided, however, that the condition set forth in clause (B) above shall not apply if, pro forma for any of the actions to be taken in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the Borrower has

		Excess Availability of the greater of (I) $120 million (or $140 million with respect to clause (i) above) and (II) 15% (or 17.5% with respect to clause (i) above) of the Line Cap (the foregoing being the “*Payment Conditions*”).

Asset Sales:		The Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to dispose or sell any of its assets on an unlimited basis for fair market value so long as (i) (a) no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such disposition or sale (other than any disposition or sale made pursuant to a legally binding commitment entered into at a time when no event of default existed or would have resulted from such disposition or sale) and (b) at least 75% of the consideration for asset sales in excess of $50 million consists of cash (subject to customary exceptions to the cash consideration requirements consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles to be set forth in the ABL Documentation, including a basket in an amount to be agreed for non-cash consideration that may be designated as cash consideration) or (ii) (a) such asset sales do not constitute a sale of all or substantially all of the Borrower’s assets and (b) the applicable Payment Conditions are satisfied on a pro forma basis.

Financial Covenant:		None, as long as Excess Availability is not less than, for three consecutive business days, the greater of (a) 10% of the Line Cap, and (b) $80 million. In the event that Excess Availability falls below such threshold for three consecutive business days, the Borrower will not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.00:1.00 for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended as of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been or are required to be delivered. Once tested, the financial covenant shall continue to be tested on a quarterly basis until the Borrower exceeds the threshold for 25 consecutive days. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant, any cash equity (which to the extent constituting other than common equity will be on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the ABL Administrative Agent) contribution made to the Borrower after the beginning of the relevant fiscal quarter after the Closing Date and on or prior to the day that is (i) with respect to a breach of the financial Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio that occurs on the date that such financial covenant is triggered, the date that is ten (10) days after such trigger date or (ii) otherwise, the date that is ten (10) days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter will, at the request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods which include such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, a “*Specified*

The ABL Lenders shall not be obligated to extend additional credit under the ABL Facility during the period between the breach of the Financial Covenant and the consummation of the exercise of any Specified Equity Contribution.

Unrestricted Subsidiaries:		The ABL Documentation will contain provisions pursuant to which, subject to limitations on loans, advances, guarantees and other investments in, unrestricted subsidiaries, the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth under the section titled “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter and identical to such terms and conditions set forth in the First-Lien Documentation.

Events of Default:		Consistent with the ABL Documentation Principles, limited to the events of default set forth in the section titled “Events of Default” in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter and substantially identical to such events of default included in the First-Lien Documentation; provided that failure to deliver a Borrowing Base certificate shall be subject to a 5-day cure period (and a shorter period for weekly Borrowing Base certificates) after such failure, failure to comply with the cash management covenant shall not be subject to a grace period and the ABL Facility shall cross-default to the First-Lien Facility, the Notes and all other indebtedness in excess of $50 million.

Voting:		Amendments and waivers of the ABL Documentation will require the approval of ABL Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the loans and commitments under the ABL Facility, except that (i) solely the consent of each ABL Lender

[Commitment Letter]

B-15


		directly and adversely affected thereby shall be required with respect to: (A) increases in the commitment of such ABL Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default will not constitute an increase in commitments), (B) reductions of principal, reimbursement obligations, interest or fees (other than a waiver of default interest) (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default will not constitute a reduction in principal), (C) extensions of final maturity or any date for the payment of interest or fees (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default will not constitute an extension of the final maturity date or the date for payment of any interest or fees) and (D) modifications of the pro rata payment and sharing provisions, (ii) the consent of 100% of the ABL Lenders will be required with respect to (A) modifications to any of the voting percentages and (B) releases of all or substantially all of the value of the ABL Guarantees or all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral (other than in connection with any sale of the Collateral or of the relevant Guarantor permitted by the ABL Documentation), (iii) the consent of ABL Lenders holding at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate amount of loans and commitments under the Facility shall be required with respect to changes in the definition of Borrowing Base or the constituent definitions in a manner intended to increase availability under the ABL Facility; and (iv) customary protections for the ABL Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank will be provided.

		The ABL Documentation shall contain customary provisions for replacing non-consenting ABL Lenders in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all ABL Lenders or of all ABL Lenders directly affected thereby so long as the Required ABL Lenders shall have consented thereto.

Cost and Yield Protection:		The same as those in the First-Lien Documentation.

Assignments and Participations:		After the Closing Date, the ABL Lenders will be permitted to assign to eligible assignees loans and/or commitments under the ABL Facility with the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank and the ABL Administrative Agent (in each case (except with respect to assignments to competitors of the Borrower) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Borrower will be deemed to have consented 15 business days after any request for consent); provided that (A) no consent of the Borrower shall be required (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Default for an assignment to a person other than a Disqualified Lender or (ii) if such assignment is an assignment to another ABL Lender or a U.S.-based affiliate of an ABL Lender and (B) no consent of the ABL Administrative Agent shall be required with respect to assignment of any ABL Loans, if such assignment is

B-16


		an assignment to another ABL Lender. Each assignment (other than to another ABL Lender, an affiliate of an ABL Lender or an approved fund) will be in an amount of an integral multiple of $2,500,000 (or lesser amounts, if agreed between the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent) or, if less, all of such ABL Lender’s remaining loans and commitments. The ABL Administrative Agent shall receive a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment and which may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the ABL Administrative Agent.

		The ABL Lenders will be permitted to sell participations in loans and commitments (other than to Disqualified Lenders) without restriction in accordance with applicable law. Participants will have the same benefits as the selling ABL Lenders would have (and will be limited to the amount of such benefits) with regard to yield protection and increased costs, subject to customary limitations and restrictions; provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under the cost and yield protection provisions than the applicable ABL Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Voting rights of participants shall be limited to matters in respect of (a) increases in commitments participated to such participant, (b) reductions of principal, interest or fees, (c) extensions of final maturity or the due date of any amortization, interest or fee payment and (d) releases, except as otherwise contemplated by the ABL Documentation, of the guarantees of all or substantially all ABL Guarantees or all or substantially all of the Collateral.

		Assignments to the Borrower and its affiliates (including any direct parent of the Borrower and its subsidiaries) shall not be permitted.

Expenses and Indemnification:		If the Transactions are consummated and the Closing Date occurs, the Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank and the ABL Arrangers (without duplication) associated with the syndication of the ABL Facility and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration,

Less than 33.33% of the Line Cap		1.75	%		0.75	%


		All Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans.

		The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or, if agreed by all relevant ABL Lenders, 12 months) for Adjusted LIBOR borrowings.

Such fees shall be distributed to the ABL Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Lender’s ABL Facility commitment, with exceptions for defaulting Lenders. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (a) a fronting fee equal to a percentage per annum to be agreed upon not to exceed 0.125% per annum of the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter after the Closing Date and upon the termination of the ABL Facility, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, and (b) customary issuance and administration fees.

[Commitment Letter]

C-3


		use clause (A) of the Available Incremental Amount prior to clause (B) thereof, and if both clause (A) and (B) are available and the Borrower does not make an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (A) and (II) the Borrower may redesignate any indebtedness originally designated as incurred under clause (B) as having been incurred under clause (A), so long as at the time of such redesignation, the Borrower would be permitted to incur under clause (A) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness being so redesignated (for purposes of clarity, with any such redesignation having the effect of increasing the Borrower’s ability to incur indebtedness under clause (B) as of the date of such redesignation by the amount of indebtedness so redesignated). The “*Incremental Base Amount” means, as of any date of determination, the sum of (1) the greater of (x) $375 million and (y) an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined below) on a pro forma* basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, any acquisition or investment consummated in connection therewith and all other appropriate pro forma adjustments (including use of proceeds) for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available prior to such date of determination, plus (2) all voluntary prepayments of the First-Lien Facility made prior to the date of any such incurrence (other than prepayments with the proceeds of (i) First-Lien Refinancing Facilities or First-Lien Refinancing Debt, (ii) indebtedness the proceeds of which are used to refinance the Facilities and (iii) other long-term indebtedness) minus (3) the aggregate principal amount of all First-Lien Incremental Facilities or Incremental Equivalent Debt theretofore incurred in reliance of clauses (1) and (2) of this definition;

		(ii) no existing First-Lien Lender will be required to participate in any such First-Lien Incremental Facility without its consent;

		(iii) no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result from the incurrence of any First-Lien Incremental Facility (except in connection with a Limited Conditionality Transaction (as defined below));

		(iv) the maturity date of any such First-Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the First-Lien Facility and the weighted average life of such First-Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the then remaining weighted average life of the First-Lien Facility;

		(v) any First-Lien Incremental Term Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the First-Lien Facility (excluding upfront fees and customary arranger fees);

[Commitment Letter]

C-4


		(vi) the interest rate margins, upfront fees, OID and (subject to clause (iv)) amortization schedule applicable to any First-Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder; provided that, only in the case of any First-Lien Incremental Term Facility incurred under clause (A) of the Available Incremental Amount, if the “yield” (to be defined to include interest margins, upfront fees, LIBOR floor, ABR floor and OID on customary terms, with upfront fees and original issue discount being equated to interest margins based on an assumed four-year life to maturity, but excluding any prepayment premiums, customary arrangement, syndication, structuring fees, and commitment fees or other fees payable in connection therewith) of any such First-Lien Incremental Term Facility incurred on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date exceeds the “yield” on the First-Lien Facility by more than 50 basis points, the applicable margins for such First-Lien Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the “yield” on such First-Lien Facility is 50 basis points less than the “yield” on such First-Lien Incremental Term Facility (it being agreed that any increase in “yield” to any existing First-Lien Facility required due to the application of a LIBOR or ABR floor on any First-Lien Incremental Term Facility will be effected solely through an increase in such floor (or an implementation thereof), as applicable);

		(vii) there shall be no requirement for the Borrower to bring down the representations and warranties unless, and to the extent otherwise required by, the lenders providing such First-Lien Incremental Term Facility;

		(viii) any pari passu or junior secured First-Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be secured only by the Collateral and no First-Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be guaranteed by entities other than the Guarantors; and

		(ix) any First-Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation as determined by the Borrower and such lenders providing such facilities;

		provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the First-Lien Facility (except to the extent permitted by clauses (iv) and (vi) above), the terms and conditions of any such First-Lien Incremental Term Facility shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the lenders providing any such First-Lien Incremental Term Facility.

		The Borrower may seek commitments in respect of the First-Lien Incremental Facilities, in its sole discretion, from existing First-Lien Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial

[Commitment Letter]

C-5



		institutions and other persons who will become First-Lien Lenders in connection therewith (“*Additional First-Lien Lenders”) or both from existing First-Lien Lenders and Additional First-Lien Lenders; provided* that the First-Lien Administrative Agent shall have consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with respect to such Additional First-Lien Lenders, if such consent would be required under the heading “Assignments and Participations” for an assignment of loans or commitments, as applicable, to such Additional First-Lien Lenders.

		In addition, the Borrower may, in lieu of adding First-Lien Incremental Facilities, utilize any part of the Available Incremental Amount at any time by issuing or incurring Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined below), subject to no event of default (except in connection with a Limited Conditionality Transaction (as defined below)) and entering into intercreditor documentation reasonably acceptable to the First-Lien Administrative Agent and the Borrower, if applicable.

		“*Incremental Equivalent Debt” means indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the then-available Available Incremental Amount, consisting of senior secured first lien notes and/or term loans or junior lien term loans or notes, subordinated term loans or notes or senior unsecured term loans or notes, or any bridge facility, in each case, issued in (x) a public offering, Rule 144A or other private placement or (y) a bridge facility or in a syndicated loan financing or otherwise in lieu of an Incremental Facility, in each case, on terms and conditions that are customary as of the date of incurrence thereof; provided* that (a) such Incremental Equivalent Debt (other than any first lien term loans) will not be subject to the “most favored nation” pricing provisions set forth in the proviso of clause (vi) in this “Incremental Facilities” section, (b) the maturity date of such Incremental Equivalent Debt will be no earlier than the maturity date of the First-Lien Facility, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Equivalent Debt may not be shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the First-Lien Facility, and (d) if such Incremental Equivalent Debt is secured equally and ratably with the First-Lien Facility or by liens that are junior to the liens securing the First-Lien Facility, such Incremental Equivalent Debt will be subject to customary intercreditor arrangements consistent with the First-Lien Documentation Principles or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the First-Lien Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

		“*Consolidated EBITDA*” will be defined, including with regard to defined terms used in such definition, in a manner no less favorable to the Borrower than the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement and modified, if necessary, to provide for the add-back of cost savings that result and cost savings that are expected in good faith to result

[Commitment Letter]

C-6


		from the Transactions and other actions taken, committed to be taken or planned to be taken within 24 months after the end of the relevant period (in the case of expected cost savings, in each case, reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, and calculated on a “run rate” basis such that the full recurring benefit associated therewith is taken into account without double counting the amount of actual benefits realized in connection therewith) and modified further as reasonably agreed (1) to more accurately reflect the business and financial accounting of the Borrower, including as reflected in the Model (as defined in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter) and (2) to clarify or address technical clarifications for the most recently completed period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered prior to such date.

		The proceeds of any First-Lien Incremental Facility may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (the “*Restricted Subsidiaries*”), including for capital expenditures, acquisitions, restricted payments, refinancing of indebtedness and any other transaction, in each case not prohibited by the First-Lien Documentation.

Limited Conditionality Provision:		For purposes of determining pro forma compliance with any Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio in the First-Lien Facility, the amount or availability of the Available Amount Basket or any other basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, or whether a default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, in each case in connection with the consummation of an acquisition or an investment that the Borrower or one or more of its subsidiaries is contractually committed to consummate (it being understood that such commitment may be subject to conditions precedent, which conditions precedent may be amended, satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement) and whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (any such acquisition or investment, a “*Limited Conditionality Transaction*”), the date of determination shall, at the option of the Borrower, be the time the definitive agreements for such acquisition or investment are entered into after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition or investment and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable test period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any of such ratios or amounts are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the person subject to such acquisition or investment, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be deemed to have

[Commitment Letter]

C-7


		been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; provided that if the Borrower elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement, the indebtedness to be incurred (and any associated lien) shall be deemed incurred at the time of such election (until such time as the indebtedness is actually incurred or the applicable acquisition agreement is terminated without actually consummating the applicable acquisition) and outstanding thereafter for purposes of pro forma compliance with any applicable Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio or Interest Coverage Ratio in the First-Lien Facility or the amount or availability of the Available Amount Basket or any other basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, as the case may be.

Refinancing Facilities:		The First-Lien Documentation will permit the Borrower to refinance and/or replace loans under the First-Lien Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis (including the payment of interest, premiums, fees and expenses in connection therewith) from time to time, in whole or in part, with (a) one or more new term facilities (each, a “*First-Lien Refinancing Facility”) under the First-Lien Documentation with the consent of the Borrower and the institutions providing such First-Lien Refinancing Facility and/or (b) one or more additional series of senior secured or unsecured notes or loans that will be (x) secured by the Collateral on a pari passu* basis with the First-Lien Facility, (y) secured on a “silent” subordinated basis to the First-Lien Facility and to the obligations under any senior secured notes described in clause (x) above or (z) unsecured, and, in the case of clause (x) and (y), that will be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (any such notes or loans described in this clause (b), “*First-Lien Refinancing Debt”); provided* that (i) any First-Lien Refinancing Facility or First-Lien Refinancing Debt shall not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than, loans under the First-Lien Facility being refinanced and (ii) the other terms and conditions of any such First-Lien Refinancing Facility or First-Lien Refinancing Debt shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the lenders providing any such First-Lien Refinancing Facility or First-Lien Refinancing Debt. The First-Lien Refinancing Facilities and First-Lien Refinancing Debt will not be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing provisions.

Purpose:		The proceeds of borrowings under the First-Lien Facility will be used, directly or indirectly, on the Closing Date, together with proceeds of the borrowings under the ABL Facility, the issuance of the Notes (including any Unsecured Backstop Notes) and/or incurrence of the Bridge Loans, the issuance of the Secured Backstop Notes and/or incurrence of the Secured Backstop Bridge Loans (if applicable), the Equity Issuance and cash on hand, if any,

[Commitment Letter]

C-8


		at the Company or the Borrower, to pay the Acquisition Costs, the Refinancing, the refinancing of the Existing Senior Notes (if applicable) and for general corporate purposes.

Availability:		The First-Lien Facility will be available in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the First-Lien Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Interest Rates and Fees:		As set forth in Annex I to this Exhibit C.

Default Rate:		Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default (as defined below), all overdue principal amounts will bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum, and overdue interest, fees and expenses shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to ABR loans (as defined in Annex I to this Exhibit C) plus 2.00% per annum, and in each case, shall be payable on demand and shall begin to accrue from the date of such Specified Event of Default.

		“*Specified Event of Default*” means (a) any payment Event of Default (with respect to any principal, interest, fees or expenses) and (b) any bankruptcy Event of Default.

Defaulting Lenders:		The First-Lien Facility will contain provisions with respect to Defaulting Lenders substantially identical to (but no less favorable to the Borrower than) those in the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement.

Final Maturity and Amortization:		The First-Lien Facility will mature on the date that is seven (7) years after the Closing Date and will amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the First-Lien Facility, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, with the balance payable on the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the First-Lien Documentation shall provide the right for individual First-Lien Lenders to agree to extend the maturity date of the outstanding First-Lien Term Loans held by such First-Lien Lenders upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other First-Lien Lender (subject to terms and conditions no more restrictive than those set forth in the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement, in any event not to be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing or minimum extension condition).

Guarantees:		Subject to the Certain Funds Provisions, all obligations of the Borrower under the First-Lien Facility (the “*First-Lien Borrower Obligations*”) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis (but subject to the priorities set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement) by each Guarantor (as defined in that certain Indenture dated as of May 29, 2013, among the

[Commitment Letter]

X-0


		Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx Trust, National Association, as Trustee (as defined therein) and the Guarantors (as defined therein) party thereto (the “*Existing Indenture”)) under the Existing Indenture, the Company and each wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company that would be required to become a guarantor under the Existing Indenture if it were a subsidiary of the Borrower, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and limitations consistent with the First-Lien Documentation Principles (such guarantees, the “First-Lien Guarantees*”).

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Borrower and the First-Lien Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the cost, burden, difficulty or consequence of providing such a guarantee outweighs the value afforded thereby.

		The Borrower may, at its option, cause any domestic or, as reasonably acceptable to the First-Lien Administrative Agent, foreign restricted subsidiary that is not a wholly owned subsidiary (including any consolidated affiliate in which the Borrower and its subsidiaries own no equity interest) to become a Guarantor.

Security:		Subject to the limitations set forth below in this section and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below) and the Certain Funds Provisions, the First-Lien Borrower Obligations and the First-Lien Guarantees will be secured by: (a) a perfected second-priority security interest on the ABL Facility Collateral and (c) a perfected first-priority security interest in the Notes Collateral (as defined in the Existing Indenture) (the “*First-Lien Facility Collateral*”), in each case subject to permitted liens, including in respect of the ABL Facility, and to exceptions and limitations consistent with the First-Lien Documentation Principles.

		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Collateral shall exclude all Excluded Collateral (as defined in the Existing Indenture).

		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required, nor shall the First-Lien Administrative Agent be authorized, (i) to perfect the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant State(s) and filings in the applicable real estate records with respect to mortgaged properties or any fixtures relating to mortgaged properties, (B) filings in United States government offices with respect to intellectual property as expressly required in the First-Lien Documentation, (C) mortgages in respect of fee-owned real property with a fair market value in excess of an amount

	to be agreed, (D) subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, delivery to the First-Lien Administrative Agent (or the trustee under the Existing Senior Notes pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) (or to the ABL Administrative Agent under the ABL Facility on its behalf in the case of ABL Facility Collateral) to be held in its possession of all Collateral consisting of intercompany notes, stock certificates of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and instruments, in each case as expressly required in the First-Lien Documentation, (ii) to enter into any control agreement with respect to any deposit account or securities account that is not provided in connection with the ABL Facility (for so long as the ABL Facility is in effect) or (iii) to take any action (other than the actions listed in clause (i)(A) and (D) above) with respect to any assets located outside of the United States.

	All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms to be set forth in the First-Lien Documentation, and none of the Collateral shall be subject to other pledges, security interests or mortgages (except liens relating to the ABL Facility, the Existing Senior Notes, the Secured Backstop Notes, any other permitted liens and other exceptions and baskets to be set forth in the First-Lien Documentation).

Intercreditor Agreement:	The lien priority, relative rights and other creditors’ rights issues in respect of the Collateral among the ABL Lenders and the First-Lien Lenders will be subject to the Existing Intercreditor Agreement.

Mandatory Prepayments:	Loans under the First-Lien Facility shall be prepaid with:

	(A)	commencing with the first full fiscal year of the Borrower to occur after the Closing Date, 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined, including with regard to defined terms used in such definition, in a manner consistent with the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement and modified as reasonably agreed (1) to more accurately reflect the business and financial accounting of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and (2) to clarify or address technical clarifications), with step-downs to 25% upon achievement of a Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio equal or less than 3.50:1.00 and to 0% upon achievement of a Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio equal or less than 3.00:1.00; provided that, (i) at the option of the Borrower, any voluntary prepayments of loans under the First-Lien Facility (including prepayments at a discount to par under the First-Lien Facility or under any First-Lien Incremental Facility, with credit given for the actual amount of the cash payment) made during such fiscal year or on or prior to the 90^th day after the end of such fiscal year (and without duplication in the next fiscal year) other than prepayments funded with the proceeds of incurrences of

[Commitment Letter]

C-11


				long-term indebtedness, shall be credited against Excess Cash Flow prepayment obligations on a dollar-for-dollar basis for such fiscal year (and to any subsequent fiscal year to the extent the amount of such prepayments exceed the amount of prepayments required to be made from Excess Cash Flow for such year, when taken together with any other payments required for such year) (with the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the applicable Excess Cash Flow percentage above recalculated to give pro forma effect to any such cash pay down or reduction made during such time period);

		(B)		100% of the net cash proceeds (which will be defined to exclude, among other things, the amount of any required taxes that the Borrower and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries may make as a result of such sale or disposition) of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including insurance and condemnation proceeds and sale leaseback proceeds), subject to thresholds to be mutually agreed and subject to the right of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries to reinvest 100% of such proceeds if such proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) within 365 days and, if so committed to be reinvested, so long as such reinvestment is actually completed within 180 days after the expiration of such 365-day period, and other exceptions to be set forth in the First-Lien Documentation; and

		(C)		100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of debt obligations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Closing Date (other than debt permitted under the First-Lien Documentation, excluding First-Lien Refinancing Facilities and First-Lien Refinancing Debt).

		Mandatory prepayments shall be applied, without premium or penalty (other than as provided under the second paragraph of the section “Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments”), subject to reimbursement of the First-Lien Lenders’ usual and customary redeployment costs (excluding loss of profit) in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period, as directed by the Borrower and, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity (including any First-Lien Incremental Facility).

		Any First-Lien Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment other than in respect of a First-Lien Refinancing Facility or any First-Lien Refinancing Debt (each a “*First-Lien Declining Lender*”). Any prepayment amount declined

[Commitment Letter]

C-12


		by a First-Lien Lender (the “*Declined Proceeds*”) may be retained by the Borrower and will build the Available Amount Basket (as defined below).

		Mandatory prepayments will not be required to the extent the Borrower reasonably determines that any required repatriation of funds from the Borrower’s foreign subsidiaries in order to effect such prepayments would have a material adverse tax or cost consequence for itself or its beneficial owners, contravene applicable law or give rise to a risk of liability for the directors of such subsidiaries.

Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:		Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the First-Lien Facility will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed upon, without premium (other than as provided below) or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment and customary breakage costs (excluding loss of profit) in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

		All (i) voluntary prepayments of First-Lien Term Loans and (ii) mandatory prepayments of First-Lien Term Loans with the proceeds of First-Lien Refinancing Facilities or First-Lien Refinancing Debt, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below), shall be accompanied by a premium (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of such First-Lien Term Loans to be prepaid) equal to (a) on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, 1.00% and (b) thereafter, 0%. A “*Repricing Transaction*” means the prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of the First-Lien Term Loans with the incurrence by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any long-term bank debt financing incurred for the primary purpose (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) of reducing the effective interest cost or weighted average yield (as reasonably determined by the First-Lien Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice and, in any event, excluding any arrangement or commitment fees in connection therewith and any OID or upfront fees in connection with the Transactions) to less than the interest rate for or weighted average yield (as reasonably determined by the First-Lien Administrative Agent on the same basis) of the First-Lien Term Loans, including without limitation, as may be effected through any amendment to the First-Lien Documentation relating to the interest rate for, or weighted average yield of, the First-Lien Term Loans, but which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any prepayment or refinancing in connection with a change of control (to be defined in the First-Lien Documentation but in any event not include any “continuing director prong”) or any Transformative Acquisition (as defined below).

[Commitment Letter]

C-13


		“*Transformative Acquisition*” means any acquisition by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is either (a) not permitted by the terms of the First-Lien Documentation immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition or (b) if permitted by the terms of the First-Lien Documentation immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, would not provide the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with adequate flexibility under the First-Lien Documentation for the continuation and/or expansion of their combined operations following such consummation, as determined by the Borrower acting in good faith.

		All voluntary prepayments of the First-Lien Facility and any First-Lien Incremental Facility will be applied to the remaining amortization payments under the First-Lien Facility or such First-Lien Incremental Facility, as applicable, and may be applied to the First-Lien Facility or any First-Lien Incremental Facility, in any case, as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof).

Documentation Principles:		The definitive documentation for the First-Lien Facility (the “*First-Lien Documentation”) (a) will be substantially identical to that documentation entered into in connection with that certain First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2014 as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified as of the date hereof among TMK Hawk Parent Corp., as borrower thereunder, the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent (the “Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement”) (and related security, collateral and guarantee agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof), (b) will take into account any additional flexibility from that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of March 26, 2015, among Coyote Logistics, LLC, as borrower thereunder, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA as administrative agent, that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Commitment Parties, (c) will be on terms no less favorable to the Borrower and its subsidiaries than the Builders Credit Agreement, (d) will take into account (i) any current top tier market terms that are reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Commitment Parties and (ii) any additional flexibility provided for in any recent transactions of Warburg Pincus LLC and JLL Partners that have occurred prior to the date hereof, (e) will contain only those conditions to borrowing, representations, warranties, covenants and events of default expressly set forth in this Term Sheet, the definitive terms of which will be negotiated in good faith after giving effect to clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) hereof and to the Model and (f) will be consistent with this Term Sheet (collectively, the “First-Lien Documentation Principles*”). The First-Lien Documentation will be subject in all respects to the Certain Funds Provisions.

[Commitment Letter]

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, all leases of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries that are treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP on the date hereof shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of the defined financial terms, including “Capital Lease Obligations” under the First-Lien Documentation regardless of any change to GAAP following such date which would otherwise require such leases to be treated as capital leases, provided that financial reporting shall not be affected hereby.

Representations and Warranties:		Limited to the following (to be applicable to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries only): organizational status and good standing (to the extent such concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction); power and authority, execution, delivery and enforceability of First-Lien Documentation; with respect to First-Lien Documentation, no violation of, or conflict with, law, organizational documents or agreements; compliance with law; litigation; margin regulations; material governmental approvals with respect to the First-Lien Facility; Investment Company Act; Federal Reserve Margin Regulations; accurate and complete disclosure; accuracy of historical financial statements (including pro forma financial statements based on historical balance sheets); no material adverse change (after the Closing Date); taxes; ERISA and other applicable pension laws (subject to material adverse effect); subsidiaries; intellectual property; environmental laws; use of proceeds; ownership of properties; consolidated Closing Date solvency of the Borrower and its subsidiaries; creation and perfection of security interests; and status of the First-Lien Facility as senior debt, subject, in the case of each of the foregoing representations and warranties, to customary qualifications and limitations for materiality to be provided in the First-Lien Documentation.

		“*Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio*” means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness (as defined below), but modified to include only such

		debt that is not expressly subordinated to the lien granted under the First-Lien Documentation but excluding indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Facility that was used to finance seasonal working capital needs of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Borrower in its reasonable discretion) as of such date minus the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents not listed as “restricted” on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date minus the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents restricted in favor of the First-Lien Facility (which may also secure other indebtedness secured by a pari passu or junior lien on the Collateral along with the First-Lien Facility) to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA. “*Consolidated Total Indebtedness*” means, as of any date of determination, the aggregate amount of indebtedness of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on such date, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, consisting only of indebtedness for borrowed money, unreimbursed obligations under letters of credit, obligations in respect of capitalized leases and debt obligations evidenced by promissory notes or similar instruments.

General Restricted Payment Incurrence Test:		The First-Lien Documentation shall permit the Borrower to make unlimited restricted payments, investments and prepayments, purchases or redemptions of subordinated indebtedness so long as at the time of making such restricted payment, investment or prepayment, purchase or redemption of subordinated indebtedness (a) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) the Total Net Leverage Ratio of the Borrower on a pro forma basis shall be no greater than a level to be mutually agreed.

Financial Covenant:		None.

Unrestricted Subsidiaries:		The First-Lien Documentation will contain provisions pursuant to which, subject to limitations on loans, advances, guarantees and other investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) after giving effect to any such designation or re-designation, no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the fair market value of such subsidiary at the time it is designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary” shall be treated as an investment at such time. Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representations and warranties, affirmative or negative covenant or event of default provisions of the First-Lien Documentation and the results of operations and

[Commitment Letter]

C-21


		indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant contained in the First-Lien Documentation.

Events of Default:		Substantially identical to those in the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement and limited to the following (to be applicable to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries only) and subject to grace periods, thresholds and materiality qualifiers substantially similar to (and no less favorable to the Borrower than) the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement: nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest or other amounts after a customary five (5) Business Day grace period; violation of covenants (subject, in the case of certain of such covenants, to a thirty (30) day grace period from written notice from the First-Lien Administrative Agent); incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect (limited on the Closing Date to the Specified Representations and the Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations) (subject, if curable, to a thirty (30) day grace period from written notice from the First-Lien Administrative Agent); cross default to, and cross acceleration of, indebtedness in excess of $50 million (other than the First-Lien Documentation) (provided that an event of default under the ABL Facility shall not constitute an event of default for the purposes of the First-Lien Facility (including any term loans incurred under any First-Lien Incremental Facility) unless and until the lenders with commitments under the ABL Facility have actually declared all such obligations to be immediately due and payable in accordance with the ABL Documentation (as defined in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter) and such declaration has not been rescinded on or before such date); bankruptcy or other insolvency events of the Borrower or any material Restricted Subsidiaries (with a customary grace period for involuntary events); monetary judgments in excess of $50 million; ERISA events; actual (or asserted in writing) invalidity of material guarantees or security documents; and change in control (provided that the definition of “Permitted Holders” for purposes of a change in control will include co-investors identified to the Initial Lender prior to the Closing Date so long as such persons become co-investors no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date).

Voting:		Amendments and waivers of the First-Lien Documentation will require the approval of First-Lien Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the loans and commitments under the First-Lien Facility (the “*Required First-Lien Lenders*”), except that (i) solely the consent of each First-Lien Lender directly and adversely affected thereby shall be required with respect to: (A) increases in the commitment of such First-Lien Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default will not constitute an increase in commitments), (B) reductions of principal, interest or fees (other than a waiver of default interest) (it being

[Commitment Letter]

C-22


		understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default will not constitute a reduction in principal), (C) extensions of scheduled amortization payments or final maturity or interest and fee payment dates (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default will not constitute an extension of any scheduled amortization payment or the final maturity date or the date for payment of any interest or fees) and (D) voting requirements, (ii) the consent of 100% of the First-Lien Lenders will be required with respect to (A) modifications to any of the voting percentages and (B) releases of all or substantially all of the value of the First-Lien Guarantees or all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral (other than in connection with any sale of the Collateral or of the relevant Guarantor permitted by the First-Lien Documentation), and (iii) customary protections for the First-Lien Administrative Agent will be provided.

		The First-Lien Documentation shall contain customary provisions for replacing non-consenting First-Lien Lenders in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all First-Lien Lenders or of all First-Lien Lenders directly affected thereby so long as the Required First-Lien Lenders shall have consented thereto.

Cost and Yield Protection:		Usual for facilities and transactions of this type, with provisions protecting the First-Lien Lenders from withholding tax liabilities in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the First-Lien Administrative Agent; provided that requests for additional payments due to increased costs from market disruption shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking market and when First-Lien Lenders holding a majority of the First-Lien Loans have made such a request; provided further, that protection for increased costs imposed as a result of rules enacted or promulgated under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act or Basel III after the date of the First-Lien Term Documentation shall be included (but solely for such costs that would have been included if they had been otherwise imposed under the applicable increased cost provisions and only to the extent the applicable First-Lien Lender is imposing such charges on other similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities) subject to customary exceptions (including with respect to FATCA (as defined below)). The First-Lien Facility shall contain provisions regarding the timing for asserting a claim under these provisions and permitting the Borrower to replace a First-Lien Lender who asserts such claim without premium or penalty. “*FATCA*” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable thereto), any current or future Treasury regulations thereunder or other official administrative interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to current section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code

Assignments and Participations:		After the Closing Date, First-Lien Lenders will be permitted to assign to eligible assignees loans under the First-Lien Facility with the consent of the Borrower and the First-Lien Administrative Agent (in each case such consent (except with respect to assignments to competitors of the Borrower) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (A) no consent of the Borrower shall be required (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default for an assignment to a person other than a Disqualified Lender or (ii) if such assignment is an assignment to another First-Lien Lender, an affiliate of a First-Lien Lender or an approved fund (provided that no assignee described in this clause (A) shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under the cost and yield protection provisions than the assignor would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned unless such assignment is made with the consent of the Borrower), and (B) no consent of the First-Lien Administrative Agent shall be required if such assignment is an assignment to another First-Lien Lender, an affiliate of a First-Lien Lender or an approved fund. Each assignment (other than to another First-Lien Lender, an affiliate of a First-Lien Lender or an approved fund) will be in an amount of an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or lesser amounts, if agreed between the Borrower and the First-Lien Administrative Agent) or, if less, all of such First-Lien Lender’s remaining loans and commitments of the applicable class. The First-Lien Administrative Agent shall receive a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (it being understood that such recordation fee shall not apply to any assignments by any of the Initial Lenders or any of their affiliates). For any assignment for which Borrower consent is required, such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) business days after written request for such consent.

		The First-Lien Lenders will be permitted to sell participations in loans and commitments (other than to Disqualified Lenders) without restriction in accordance with applicable law. Participants will have the same benefits as the selling First-Lien Lenders would have (and will be limited to the amount of such benefits) with regard to yield protection and increased costs, subject to customary limitations and restrictions; provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under the cost and yield protection provisions than the applicable First-Lien Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Voting rights of participants shall be limited

[Commitment Letter]

C-24


		to matters in respect of (a) increases in commitments participated to such participant, (b) reductions of principal, interest or fees, (c) extensions of final maturity or the due date of any amortization, interest or fee payment and (d) releases, except as otherwise contemplated by the First-Lien Documentation, of the guarantees of all or substantially all First-Lien Guarantees or all or substantially all of the Collateral. Any assignment or participation by a First-Lien Lender (knowingly, with respect to participations) without the Borrower’s consent to a Disqualified Lender shall not be permitted, provided that upon inquiry by any First-Lien Lender to the First-Lien Administrative Agent as to whether a specified potential assignee or prospective participant is on the list of Disqualified Lenders, the First-Lien Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose to such First-Lien Lender whether such specific potential assignee or prospective participant is on the list of Disqualified Lenders.

		In addition, subject to the provisions below, non-pro rata distributions and commitment reductions will be permitted in connection with loan buy-back or similar programs on terms no less favorable to the Borrower than the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement. Assignments to, and purchases by, the Borrower and its affiliates will be permitted without any consent, including through open-market purchases on the terms provided below (but in any event no less favorable to the Borrower than the Precedent First-Lien Credit Agreement).

		Assignments to Warburg Pincus LLC and JLL Partners and their respective affiliates (to the extent that Warburg Pincus LLC, JLL Partners and their respective affiliates constitute an “Affiliate” as defined in a manner consistent with the First-Lien Documentation Principles) (other than the Borrower and its subsidiaries) (each, an “*Affiliated Lender*”) shall be permitted subject to the following limitations:

		(i) Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) will not receive information provided solely to First-Lien Lenders by the First-Lien Administrative Agent or any First-Lien Lender and will not be permitted to attend/participate in “lender-only” meetings;

		(ii) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of the First-Lien Documentation or any plan of reorganization that in either case does not require the consent of each First-Lien Lender or each affected First-Lien Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other First-Lien Lenders or that would deprive such Affiliated Lender of its pro rata share of any payments to which it is entitled, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in respect of its loans in the same

[Commitment Letter]

C-25


		proportion as non-affiliated First-Lien Lenders voting on such matter (it being understood that the Affiliated Lenders shall have the right to vote otherwise), provided, further, that an Affiliated Lender that is a bona fide diversified debt fund primarily engaged in, or that advises funds or other investment vehicles that are engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course (each such entity, an “Affiliated Debt Fund”), will not be subject to such voting limitations and will be entitled to vote as if it were a First-Lien Lender, except that for any Required First-Lien Lender vote, Affiliated Debt Funds may not, in the aggregate, account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required First-Lien Lenders have consented to any amendment or waiver; and

		(iii) the amount of First-Lien Term Loans purchased by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) and held at any one time may not exceed 25% of the principal amount of such loans outstanding at the time of such purchase (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof). The First-Lien Documentation will permit (but not require) Affiliated Lenders to contribute any First-Lien Term Loans acquired to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such debt, which may include contribution (with the consent of the Borrower) to the Borrower (whether through any of its direct or indirect parent entities or otherwise) in exchange for debt or equity securities of such parent entity or the Borrower that are otherwise permitted to be issued by such entity or the Borrower at such time

		Assignments of loans under the First-Lien Facility to the Borrower and its subsidiaries shall be permitted pursuant to open market purchases (on a non-pro rata basis) and/or Dutch auctions open to all First-Lien Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be mutually agreed in an amount to be agreed or offers to all Lenders pro rata (with buyback mechanics to be agreed), so long as (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the loans purchased are immediately cancelled. The Facilities Documentation will not require the Borrower or an Affiliated Lender, as applicable, to make a “no MNPI” representation in connection with Borrower repurchases or Affiliated Lender assignments and will require that the parties thereto waive any potential claims arising from the Borrower or the applicable Affiliated Lender being in possession of undisclosed information that may be material to a Lender’s decision to participate.

Expenses and Indemnification:		If the Transactions are consummated and the Closing Date occurs, the Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the First-Lien Administrative Agent and the First-Lien Arrangers (without duplication) associated with the syndication of the First-Lien Facility and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver and/or enforcement of the First-Lien Documentation (limited, in the case of (i) legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of the one counsel identified herein and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnified Parties (and, in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional conflicts counsel for the affected Indemnified Parties) and (ii) the fees and expenses of any other advisor or consultant, to the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of such advisor or consultant, but solely to the extent the Borrower has consented to the retention of such person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)).

Guarantees:		The Initial Bridge Loans will be jointly and severally guaranteed by each Guarantor (as defined in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter) on a senior unsecured basis (such guarantees, the “*Guarantees”). The Guarantees will rank pari passu* with guarantees of the First-Lien Facility and ABL Facility. The Guarantees will automatically be released on terms and conditions customary for public high-yield financings (including upon the release of the corresponding guarantees of the First-Lien Facility and ABL Facility).

Security:		None.

Maturity:		All Initial Bridge Loans will have an initial maturity date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “*Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date”), which shall be extended as provided below. If any of the Initial Bridge Loans have not been previously repaid in full on or prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date and no bankruptcy (with respect to the Borrower) event of default then exists, such Initial Bridge Loans shall automatically be extended into senior unsecured term loans (each an “Extended Term Loan”) due on the date that is eight (8) years after the Closing Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”) having the terms set forth on Annex I hereto. The date on which Initial Bridge Loans are extended as Extended Term Loans is referred to as the “Extension Date”. At any time or from time to time on or after the Extension Date, at the option of the Lenders, the Extended Term Loans may be exchanged in whole or in part for senior unsecured exchange notes (the “Exchange Notes”) having an equal principal amount and having the terms set forth in Annex II hereto; provided* that the Borrower may defer the first issuance of

[Commitment Letter]

D-2


		Exchange Notes until such time as the Borrower shall have received requests to issue an aggregate of at least $150 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes.

Interest Rates:		Prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, the Initial Bridge Loans will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted LIBOR (as defined below), plus 750 basis points (the “*Initial Margin”). Three months after the Closing Date, such spread over Adjusted LIBOR will increase by 50 basis points and the Initial Margin shall increase by an additional 50 basis points at the end of each three month period after the Closing Date (the Initial Margin plus each 50 basis point increase therein described above, the “Applicable Margin*”).

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate in effect on the Initial Bridge Loans shall not exceed the Total Cap (as defined in the Fee Letter).

		Following the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, all outstanding Extended Term Loans will accrue interest at the rate provided for in Annex I hereto, subject to the Total Cap.

		Upon the occurrence of a Demand Failure Event (as defined in the Engagement Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Notes (the “*Engagement Letter*”)), the outstanding Initial Bridge Loans will accrue interest at the Total Cap and be subject to the optional redemption terms (other than from proceeds of the issuance of Securities (as defined in the Engagement Letter)) applicable to the Exchange Notes, the Exchange Fee (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall be due and payable and all restrictions on the assignability of the Initial Bridge Loans shall cease to apply.

		Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

		“*Adjusted LIBOR*” on any date, means the greater of (i) 1.00% and (ii) the rate (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities) for eurodollar deposits for a three-month (or six-month, in the case of Extended Term Loans) period appearing on the LIBOR01 Page published by Reuters two business days prior to such date.

		Interest will be payable (or shall accrue) in arrears, (a) for the Initial Bridge Loans, at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower following the Closing Date and on the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date and (b) for the Extended Term Loans, semi-annually, commencing on the date that is six (6) months after the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, and on the Extended Maturity Date.

[Commitment Letter]

D-3



Default Rate:		Overdue principal, interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum.

Mandatory Prepayment:		Subject to any restrictions in the First-Lien Documentation (in the case of clause (iv) only), the Borrower will be required to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans on a pro rata basis at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest with (i) the net cash proceeds from the issuance of Securities (as defined in the Engagement Letter), provided, that in the event any Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate of an Initial Bridge Lender purchases debt securities from the Borrower pursuant to a “*securities demand” under the Engagement Letter at an issue price above the level at which such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate has determined such debt securities can be resold by such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate to a bona fide third party at the time of such purchase that is not a lender under the Bridge Facility or affiliate thereof or a participant in the Bridge Facility at such time (and notifies the Borrower thereof), the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower in respect of such debt securities may, at the option of such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate, be applied first to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans of such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate (provided* that if there is more than one such Initial Bridge Lender or affiliate then such net cash proceeds will be applied pro rata to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans of all such Initial Bridge Lenders or affiliates in proportion to such Initial Bridge Lenders’ or affiliates’ principal amount of debt securities purchased from the Borrower) prior to being applied to prepay the Initial Bridge Loan held by other Initial Bridge Lenders; (ii) the net cash proceeds from the issuance of any Refinancing Debt (to be defined) by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries; (iii) net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity, subject to exceptions to be agreed, and (iv) the net cash proceeds (which will be defined to exclude, among other things, the amount of any required taxes or tax distributions that the Borrower may make as a result of such sale or disposition) from any non-ordinary course asset sales or dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries in excess of amounts either reinvested in the business of the Borrower or its restricted subsidiaries in accordance with the First-Lien Facility and the ABL Facility or required to be paid to the lenders under the First-Lien Facility or the ABL Facility, in the case of any such prepayments pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above with exceptions and baskets usual and customary for financings of this type made by companies that are affiliates of the Borrower and in any event not less favorable to the Borrower than those applicable to the First-Lien Facility and the ABL Facility (with appropriate modifications to reflect the bridge nature of the facility).

[Commitment Letter]

D-4



		The Borrower will also be required to offer to prepay the Initial Bridge Loans following the occurrence of a change of control (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Applicable Bond Standard (as defined below) and in any event not less favorable to the Borrower than the definition in the First-Lien Documentation but not to include a “continuing director” prong) at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repayment.

Optional Prepayment:		The Initial Bridge Loans (other than as provided under “*Interest Rates*” above) and the Extended Term Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest upon not less than one business day’s prior written notice, at the option of the Borrower at any time.

Documentation:		The definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility (the “*Bridge Facility Documentation” and, together with the ABL Documentation and the First-Lien Documentation, the “Facilities Documentation”) will contain only those conditions to borrowing, representations, warranties, covenants and events of default expressly set forth in this Term Sheet and, except as set forth herein, the same as the First-Lien Documentation and shall be consistent with this Term Sheet, including, as set forth further herein, containing terms consistent with the Applicable Bond Standard where applicable and in any event not less favorable to the Borrower than the provisions of the First-Lien Facility (collectively, the “Bridge Documentation Principles” and together with the ABL Documentation Principles and the First-Lien Documentation Principles, the “Documentation Principles*”).

Conditions to Initial Borrowings:		The availability of the initial borrowing under the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date will be subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit E to the Commitment Letter.

Representations and Warranties:		The Bridge Facility Documentation will contain the same representations and warranties as those in the First-Lien Documentation with such changes as are appropriate for unsecured loans.

Covenants:		The Bridge Facility Documentation will contain such affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries usual and customary for publicly traded high yield securities and will be (a) substantially identical to that certain Indenture dated as of as of May 2, 2014, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified as of the date hereof among Interactive Data Corporation, as issuer, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified as of the date hereof, the “*Precedent Indenture*”) and (b) on terms no less favorable to the Borrower than the Company’s existing Indenture dated as of May 29, 2013, among the Borrower,

[Commitment Letter]

D-5


		Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (as defined therein) and the Guarantors (as defined therein) party thereto (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified as of the date hereof, the “*Existing Indenture”) (it being understood and agreed that only the terms expressly set forth in the other paragraphs of this Term Sheet are being committed to), the definitive terms of which will be negotiated in good faith (giving due regard to the operational requirements, size, businesses, and business practices of the Borrower and its subsidiaries) (the “Applicable Bond Standard”), will be incurrence-based covenants, and, in no event, except as set forth herein, shall be more restrictive than, or include any covenants not included in the First-Lien Facility and any subsidiary that is designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the First-Lien Facility as of the Closing Date shall be designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary*” under the Bridge Facility as of the Closing Date. Prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, ability to incur indebtedness (limited to the covenant permitting the incurrence of debt subject to a ratio based test) and to pay dividends (limited to the general consolidated net income based “builder” basket and the general incremental restricted payment basket) may be more restrictive than those of the Extended Term Loans and the Exchange Notes, as reasonably agreed by the Bridge Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

Financial Covenants:		None.

Events of Default:		Limited to: nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest or other amounts with a five (5) business day grace period; violation of covenants (with a thirty (30) day grace period); incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect (limited on the Closing Date to the Specified Representations and the Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations) (subject, if curable, to a thirty (30) day grace period from written notice from the Bridge Administrative Agent); cross payment default and cross acceleration to material indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency of the Borrower or its significant subsidiaries (with a customary grace period for involuntary events); material monetary judgments; ERISA events; and actual or asserted invalidity of guarantees, provided that failure to comply with any obligation under the heading “Securities Demand” in the Engagement Letter shall not be an Event of Default (but failure to pay any amount that becomes due as a result of such failure (such as increased interest amounts, conversion fees, etc.) shall constitute a payment Event of Default).

Cost and Yield Protection:		Usual for facilities and transactions of this type, with provisions protecting the Lenders from withholding tax liabilities in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Bridge

[Commitment Letter]

D-6


		Administrative Agent; provided that requests for additional payments due to increased costs from market disruption shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking market and when Lenders holding a majority of the Bridge Loans have made such a request; provided further, that protection for increased costs imposed as a result of rules enacted or promulgated under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act or Basel III after the date of the Bridge Facility Documentation shall be included (but solely for such costs that would have been included if they had been otherwise imposed under the applicable increased cost provisions and only to the extent the applicable Lender is imposing such charges on other similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities) subject to customary exceptions (including with respect to FATCA (as defined below)). The Bridge Facility shall contain provisions regarding the timing for asserting a claim under these provisions and permitting the Borrower to replace a Lender who asserts such claim without premium or penalty.

		“*FATCA*” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable thereto), any current or future Treasury regulations thereunder or other official administrative interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to current section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version described above) and any intergovernmental agreements implementing the foregoing.

Assignments and Participation:		Subject to the prior notification of the Bridge Administrative Agent, the Lenders will have the right to assign (except to Disqualified Lenders) Initial Bridge Loans after the Closing Date in consultation with, but without the consent of, the Borrower; provided, however, that prior to the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date, unless there has been a Demand Failure Event, the consent of the Borrower, shall be required with respect to any assignment by an Initial Lender if, subsequent thereto, such Initial Lender would hold, in the aggregate, less than 51% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Initial Bridge Loans originally committed to by such Lender.

		The Lenders will have the right to participate their Initial Bridge Loans to other financial institutions (other than, if the list of Disqualified Lenders is made available to all Lenders, to Disqualified Lenders) without restriction, other than customary voting limitations. Participants will have the same benefits as the selling Lenders would have (and will be limited to the amount of such benefits) with regard to yield protection and increased costs, subject to customary limitations and restrictions; provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under the cost and yield protection provisions than the applicable Lender would

[Commitment Letter]

		have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

Voting:		Amendments and waivers of the Bridge Facility Documentation will require the approval of Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Initial Bridge Loans, except that (a) solely the consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender will be required for (i) reductions of principal, interest rates or the Applicable Margin, (ii) extensions of the Initial Bridge Loan Maturity Date (except as provided under “*Maturity*” above) or the Extended Maturity Date, (iii) additional restrictions on the right to exchange Extended Term Loans for Exchange Notes or any amendment of the rate of such exchange, and (b) the consent of 100% of the Lenders will be required with respect to modifications to any of the voting percentages and releases of all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees (other than in connection with any release or sale of the relevant Guarantor permitted by the First-Lien Documentation or the Bridge Facility Documentation).

		The Bridge Facility Documentation shall contain customary provisions for replacing non-consenting Lenders in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby so long as Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Initial Bridge Loans shall have consented thereto.

Expenses and Indemnification:		The Borrower shall pay, if the Closing Date occurs, all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Commitment Parties (without duplication) associated with the syndication of the Bridge Facility and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver and/or enforcement of the Bridge Facility Documentation (limited, in the case of (i) legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of the one counsel identified herein and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnified Parties (and, in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional conflicts counsel for the affected Indemnified Parties) and (ii) the fees and expenses of any other advisor or consultant, to the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of such advisor or consultant, but solely to the extent the Borrower has consented to the retention of such person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)).

		Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no party hereto nor any affiliate of any party hereto, nor any officer, director, employee, agent, controlling person, advisor or other representative of the foregoing or any successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation, the Transactions (including the Facilities and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the

Re: Equity Commitment

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Builders FirstSource, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), ProBuild Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and the other parties thereto (collectively, the “Sellers”) and (ii) that certain debt commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Purchaser and the lender parties thereto (the “Debt Commitment Letter”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

1. BLDR Public Offering. In order to satisfy a condition to funding set forth in paragraph 3 to Exhibit E to the Debt Commitment Letter, the Purchaser shall conduct a public offering of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “BLDR Common Stock”), which will provide net proceeds of at least $100 million (the “BLDR Public Offering”).

2. Equity Commitment. In the event that the Company is unable to consummate the BLDR Public Offering at any price (a “BLDR Public Offering Failure”), JLL Partners Fund V, L.P. (“JLL”) and Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (“WP,” and together with JLL, the “Equity Sources”) (directly or indirectly through an Affiliate that owns, directly or indirectly, the equity interests of Purchaser) shall purchase from the Purchaser, at the time of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on a several and not a joint basis, $40 million of BLDR Common Stock, in the case of JLL, and $60 million of BLDR Common Stock, in the case of WP, in each case, at the price set forth in paragraph 3 below (the “Equity Financing”). The obligation of the Equity Sources to provide the Equity Financing pursuant to this paragraph 2 is subject to the conditions that: (a) all conditions to the obligations of Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied (other than those conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but which are capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and there shall have been no termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) all of the conditions to the Debt Commitment Letter, other than the condition set forth in

paragraph 3 to Exhibit E thereof, shall have been satisfied and the applicable Debt Financing Sources have confirmed in writing that the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is also funded at the Closing by the Equity Sources on the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and (c) a BLDR Public Offering Failure shall have occurred.

3. Purchase Price for BLDR Common Stock. The purchase price for each share of BLDR Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the terms of paragraph 2 above shall be the lower of (i) the ten-day weighted average volume closing price of the BLDR Common Stock for the period ended March 26, 2015 and (ii) a discount of twenty (20) percent from the ten-day weighted average volume closing price of the BLDR Common Stock for the period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition.

4. Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied herein or in the Purchase Agreement (or in any exhibit, schedule, certificate or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith) or otherwise, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no Person other than the Equity Sources shall have any obligation hereunder and that, notwithstanding the fact that the Equity Sources may be partnerships, (i) no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be had against any former, current or future director, officer, employee, partner, Affiliate, agent, member, manager, stockholder, representative or assignee (any such person or entity, a “Representative”) of the Equity Sources or any Representative of any Representative of the Equity Sources (any such Representative, a “Secondary Representative”), whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, and (ii) no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Representative of the Equity Sources or any Secondary Representative under this letter or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or the Purchase Agreement or for any claim based on or by reason of any obligations of the Equity Sources arising hereunder or thereunder.

5. Seller’s Limited Enforcement Rights.

(a) In the event that (i) all of the conditions to the Equity Sources obligations pursuant to paragraph 2(a) above have been satisfied, (ii) the Company and the Sellers have irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Purchaser that the Company and the Sellers stand ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded and Purchaser complies with its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, then the Closing would occur and (iii) the amounts committed to be funded under the Debt Commitment Letter have been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the amounts under the Equity Commitment Letter are funded at Closing, then (A) the Equity Sources shall provide the Equity Financing and (B) Seller shall be entitled, as an intended third party beneficiary of this letter, to enforce the Equity Sources’ obligations to provide the Equity Financing.

(b) In the event any Seller or any of Affiliate thereof asserts in any litigation or other proceeding that any of the limitations on the Equity Sources’ liability herein are illegal, invalid

or unenforceable in whole or in part, or asserting any theory of liability against the Equity Sources or any Representative or Secondary Representative of the Equity Sources with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, other than (x) liability of the Equity Sources (and solely the Equity Sources) under the express provisions of this paragraph under the limited circumstances specified in this paragraph and (y) liability of the Purchaser (and solely the Purchaser) under the Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, then (i) the obligations of the Equity Sources under this letter shall terminate ab initio and be null and void, (ii) if the Equity Sources had previously made any payments under this letter, they shall be entitled to recover such payments, and (iii) neither the Equity Sources nor any Representative nor Secondary Representative of the Equity Sources (in each case, other than the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement and Ancillary Agreements) shall have any liability to Seller with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or under this letter. Purchaser’s and Seller’s remedies against the Equity Sources under this letter shall, and are intended to, be the sole and exclusive direct or indirect remedies available to Purchaser and Seller against the Equity Sources and any Representatives and Secondary Representatives of the Equity Sources (in each case, other than the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement and Ancillary Agreements) in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this letter (including paragraph 4 above and this paragraph 5) shall limit the remedies of any Seller against the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(c) Except as expressly provided in this paragraph, nothing set forth in this letter shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than Purchaser any rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause Purchaser to enforce, the commitment to consummate the Equity Financing.

6. Syndication. Nothing in this letter shall limit the right and ability of the Equity Sources to syndicate their rights and obligations hereunder to other Affiliates or co-investors prior to the Closing, provided that each of the Equity Sources shall remain liable for its obligations hereunder subject to the limitations hereunder.

7. Stockholder Approval.

(a) Pursuant to the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market, the purchase of shares of BLDR Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 2 above, may require approval by the holders of BLDR Common Stock. Accordingly, the Purchaser agrees to (i) as soon as practical after the date hereof, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a proxy statement relating to such matter and (ii) as soon as practicable after such proxy statement is cleared by the Staff of the SEC, call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote on such matter.

(b) In connection with the approval referred to in paragraph 7(a) above, each of JLL and WP, severally and not jointly, agree that all shares of BLDR Common Stock owned by it and its controlled Affiliates shall be present for purposes of voting at such meeting and shall be voted in favor of the matters referred to in paragraph 7(a) above.

(c) Notwithstanding the commitments set forth in Paragraph 2 above, In the event that the approval referred to in paragraph 7(a) above is not obtained and all of the conditions set forth in paragraph 2 above have been satisfied, then the Purchaser shall sell to the Equity Sources and the Equity Sources shall purchase from the Purchaser, Non-Voting Preferred Stock of the Purchaser for the respective amounts set forth in paragraph 2 above, which Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into BLDR Common Stock, immediately upon obtaining the approval referred to in paragraph 7(a) above, at a conversion price determined pursuant to paragraph 3 above

8. Registration Rights. In the event that the Equity Sources purchase shares of BLDR Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 2 above, (a) all shares of BLDR Common Stock purchased pursuant thereto shall be included as “Shares” pursuant to the terms of that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of January 21, 2010 among the Equity Sources and the Purchaser (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), (b) any Affiliates of the Equity Sources or co-investors who purchase shares of BLDR Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 2 above shall become parties to the Registration Rights Agreement and entitled to the benefits thereof and (c) Sections 3.01(b) and Section 4.12 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended, as of the date of such purchase, in their entirety, as set forth in Annex A hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, any underwriting fees and expenses associated with the Shares acquired pursuant hereto would be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

9. Expense Reimbursement; Indemnification. In consideration of the commitments contained herein, whether or not the Acquisition is consummated, Purchaser agrees to promptly pay, or cause to be paid, upon receipt of any request therefore, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Equity Sources in connection with their evaluation of, negotiations regarding and documentation for the transactions referenced herein, including, without limitation, expenses of counsel, accountants and other advisors. Purchaser further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Equity Sources and their respective Representatives and Secondary Representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) against and from any and all Losses, liabilities, actions, suits, proceedings (including investigations or inquiries), claims, costs, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by, asserted against or involve any of them as a result or in any way related to the transactions referenced in this letter; provided that no Person shall be indemnified as a result of the foregoing to the extent found by a final and non-appealable Order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the material breach of this agreement or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Purchaser further agrees to pay the Equity Sources upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, suit or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation). The provisions of this paragraph and the following paragraph are independent of all of Purchaser’s other obligations hereunder and shall survive the termination of this letter. Purchaser agrees that no Indemnified Person shall be required to (but at its sole election, may) seek indemnification from any other Person or Persons with respect to any matter for which such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder and agrees, for the benefit of the Equity Sources and their respective Representatives and Secondary Representatives to waive any right to contribution from the Equity Sources and their respective Representatives and Secondary Representatives; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or waive any contractual rights that Purchaser may have against any Equity Source. EACH OF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTIES

HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF AN EQUITY SOURCE OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON.
