2. TRA Termination. The Parties agree that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will give rise to a Change in Control. Furthermore, the Parties agree that the TRA shall be terminated in its entirety upon payment of the Termination Payments, and thereafter no party shall have any further obligations under the TRA other than those obligations set forth in this Agreement.

3. Payment. The Parties agree that Norcraft shall make a payment to each Shareholder, on the date of and immediately after the consummation of the Merger Closing (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement), equal to the amount reflected opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule I of this Agreement (“Termination Payment”, and collectively for all the Shareholders, the “Termination Payments”). Schedule I shall not be adjusted without the consent of all Parties. Prior to the Merger Closing, the SKM Norcraft Representative shall provide to Norcraft the bank account information where the Termination Payments will be sent by wire transfer. Each Shareholder hereby waives its right to receive the additional schedules and documentations described in Article IV of the TRA relating to the calculation and payment of any Early Termination Payment. Upon receipt by the Shareholders of their Termination Payments, Norcraft shall have no further obligation under the TRA to any Shareholder or any other person claiming through any Shareholder on account of such Shareholder’s interest in the TRA, and each Shareholder hereby releases, remises and forever discharges Norcraft, its Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers and employees from any such obligation under the TRA.

4. Intended Tax Treatment. Consistent with the terms of the TRA, the payments to each Shareholder contemplated hereunder are intended to be treated for all tax purposes as payments described in Section 351(b) of the Code, unless otherwise required by law to be treated as imputed interest, as reasonably determined by Norcraft, and neither Tahiti nor any of its affiliates will take a position for tax reporting purposes inconsistent therewith, except upon a final determination by an applicable taxing authority. Norcraft will promptly provide SKMNorcraft Representative with such additional information and assistance as SKM Norcraft Representative may reasonably request in connection with tax reporting matters relating to the payments contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

5. Agreement Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no force and effect upon (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms or (ii) an amendment to the Merger Agreement that changes the price payable per share of Common Stock of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement shall not by itself constitute a termination of the TRA.

6. Representations and Warranties of Norcraft. Norcraft represents and warrants to SKM as follows:

(a) Authorization of Transaction. Norcraft has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations
