(b) From time to time following the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquaintances and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Purchaser and its respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser under

this Agreement and the Seller Documents and to assure fully to Sellers and their Affiliates and their successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement and the Seller Documents, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Purchased Asset, including any Contract, Permit, certificate, approval, authorization or other right, which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or a Governmental Body or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. With respect to Material Contracts or Permits that are material for the Business as a going concern after the Closing Date, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing Date in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly; provided, however, that such efforts shall not require Sellers or any of their Affiliates to incur any expenses or Liabilities or provide any financial accommodation or to remain secondarily or contingently liable for any Assumed Liability to obtain any such consent. Purchaser and Sellers shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate all Liabilities under any and all Purchased Contracts or other Liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of Sellers and their Affiliates so that, in any such case, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, as of and from the Closing Date and during the cooperation period until such time as consents are obtained, or in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by Sellers or the applicable Affiliate of Sellers in trust for Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Purchaser in Sellers’ or such Affiliate’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Purchaser’s account. Sellers shall take or cause to be taken at Purchaser’s expense such actions in their name or otherwise as Purchaser may reasonably request so as to provide Purchaser with the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Sellers or the applicable Affiliate of Sellers shall promptly pay over to Purchaser all money or other consideration received by them in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. As of and from the Closing Date, Sellers on behalf of Sellers and their Affiliates authorize Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Purchaser’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Sellers or their Affiliates under the Nonassignable Assets and appoint Purchaser their attorney-in-fact to act in their name on their behalf or in the name of the applicable Affiliate of Sellers and on such Affiliate’s behalf with respect thereto, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers and their Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and Losses based upon, arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s performance of, or failure to perform, such obligations under the Nonassignable Assets.

Section 2.6 Bulk Sales Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Sellers with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise

be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser; it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of Sellers to comply with the requirements of any “bulk-transfer” Laws which would not otherwise constitute an Assumed Liability shall be treated as an Excluded Liability.

Section 2.7 Allocation of Consideration. Within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with an allocation of the Purchase Price (together with the Assumed Liabilities and other relevant items) among the Purchased Assets (the “Allocation”) which Allocation will comply with the requirements of Code Section 1060 and applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, for Sellers’ review. Within fifteen (15) days of Sellers’ receipt of such Allocation (the “Review Period”), Sellers may object to such Allocation by delivering notice to Purchaser in writing. If at the expiration of the Review Period, Sellers have not objected to the Allocation it will be deemed accepted as the final Allocation. In the event that there is an objection timely raised by Sellers to the Allocation during the Review Period, Sellers and Purchaser shall work together in good faith to come to a mutually agreeable Allocation. If after thirty (30) days, Sellers and Purchaser are unable to come to an agreement, the Parties shall submit their dispute to the Accounting Referee (as defined below) in accordance with Section 3.3(c). In accordance with the final Allocation, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers copies of Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto (the “Asset Acquisition Statement”). Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers from time to time revised copies of the Asset Acquisition Statement (the “Revised Statements”) so as to report any matters on the Asset Acquisition Statement that need updating (including purchase price adjustments, if any), subject to the Sellers’ review in accordance with this Section 2.7. All income Tax Returns and reports filed by Purchaser and Sellers shall be prepared consistently with such Allocation.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION

Section 3.1 Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets shall be (a) an amount in cash equal to $240,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 3.2(c) and 3.3 (which, for purposes of clarification, is inclusive of any portion of $4,566,666.59 (the “Retention Bonus Escrow Amount”) and $7,833,333.41 (the “Seller Retention Payments”) distributed or escrowed pursuant to the Retention Bonus Agreement), and (b) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. The Retention Bonus Escrow Amount shall be distributed by the applicable escrow agent in accordance with the Retention Bonus Agreement. The Seller Retention Payments shall be distributed by Sellers in accordance with the Retention Bonus Agreement.

Section 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price; Funding of Escrow Accounts.

(a) On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay (i) the Purchase Price, less the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Retention Bonus Escrow Amount, to Sellers by payment to an account designated by Sellers, (ii) the Indemnity Escrow Amount to the Indemnity Escrow Agent by payment into the Indemnity Escrow Account, and (iii) the Retention Bonus Escrow Amount to the applicable escrow agent by payment into the Retention Bonus Escrow Account, each of which shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(b) The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be held in an escrow account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”) to be governed by the terms of this Agreement and of an Indemnity Escrow Agreement, the purpose of which, as more fully set forth Sections 3.3(e) and 11.5(c) and in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, shall be to provide non-exclusive, readily accessible funds to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Losses upon the terms of and subject to the limitations of Article XI.

(c) The Retention Bonus Escrow Amount shall be held in an escrow account (the “Retention Bonus Escrow Account”) to be governed by the terms of this Agreement and by the Retention Bonus Agreement. The Retention Bonus Escrow Amount shall be distributed as set forth in the Retention Bonus Agreement. To the extent that the Retention Bonus Escrow Amount is distributed to employees and not to Owner or Sellers, such amount shall be a reduction of the Purchase Price and employee expense of Purchaser. For clarity, such reduction does not require Purchaser to make up such reduction in Purchase Price paid to Sellers.

Section 3.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Sellers’ Representative, the Closing Statement (as defined below) in the form of Schedule 3.3(a) and a certificate based on such Closing Statement setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital. The closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) shall present the Net Working Capital as of the end of business on the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”).

(b) If the Sellers’ Representative disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(a), the Sellers’ Representative may, within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice to Purchaser stating its disagreement with such calculation and setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of such amount (“Dispute Notice”). Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Sellers’ Representative disagrees, and Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(a).

(c) If Sellers’ Representative has delivered a Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 3.3(b), Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Working Capital. If during such period, Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve such items in dispute as provided in the Dispute Notice (the “Unresolved Items”), they shall promptly thereafter cause Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (or if unable or unwilling to accept its mandate, an independent accountant to be mutually agreed upon by the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser) (Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or such other independent accountant, as the case may be, the “Accounting Referee”) to review this Agreement and the Unresolved Items for the purpose of calculating Closing Working Capital, based solely on the provisions of this Agreement and the written presentations by Purchaser

and the Sellers’ Representative and not on an independent review. The Accounting Referee may not take oral testimony from the parties hereto or any other Person. In making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall consider only the Unresolved Items and its decision for each such Unresolved Item shall not be greater than the greatest value, or lower than the lowest value, for such item as provided by Sellers’ Representative in the Dispute Notice or Purchaser in the Closing Statement, as the case may be. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Sellers. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be allocated between Sellers, on one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each such party bears to the total amount contested by such parties.

(d) Purchaser and Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 3.3, including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

(e) If Final Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers such difference, in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 3.3(f), the amount of such excess and, if the Target Working Capital exceeds Final Working Capital, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser such difference, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 3.3(f). “Final Working Capital” means Closing Working Capital (i) as shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(a) if no Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(b); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Accounting Referee’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(c); provided, however, that in no event shall Final Working Capital be more than the Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in the Dispute Notice or less than Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement. In the event that an amount is required to be paid by Sellers pursuant to this Section 3.3(e), Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Indemnity Escrow Agent to pay such amount to Purchaser from the Indemnity Escrow Account, and Sellers and Owner shall promptly replenish such distributed amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account for satisfaction if indemnity claims pursuant to Section 11.5(c).

(f) Any payment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within five (5) Business Days after Final Working Capital has been determined by wire transfer by Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of such other party as may be designated in writing by such other party. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest published from time to time by the

Xxxx Xxxxxx Journal as the “prime rate” at large U.S. money center banks during the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days and the actual number of days elapsed.

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in Articles V, VI and VII of this Agreement shall survive the Closing through and including, and shall expire and terminate on, the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Sections 5.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 5.2 (Authorization), 5.3(a)(i) (Conflicts; Consents of Third Parties), 5.6(a) (Title to Purchased Assets; Sufficiency), 5.8 (Taxes), 5.17 (Environmental Matters) and 5.18 (Financial Advisors), the representations and warranties of Sellers and Owner in Section 6.1 (Authorization of Agreement) and the representations and warranties of Purchaser and Parent set forth in Sections 7.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 7.2 (Authorization of Agreement), 7.5 (Financial Advisors), 7.6 (Financial Capability), and 7.7 (Solvency), as applicable (such representations and warranties are referred to collectively herein as the “Fundamental Representations”), shall survive the Closing until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the particular matter that is the subject matter thereof (in each case before and after the first proviso of this sentence, the “Survival Period”); further provided, that any obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses (hereinafter defined) as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the

indemnifying party in accordance with Section 11.5(a) before the termination of the applicable Survival Period. The covenants of Sellers and, if applicable, Purchaser, set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.4 and 8.11 shall expire and terminate upon the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Covenants”). Claims arising out of breaches of representations, warranties and covenants, for which written notice was not provided in accordance with terms of Section 11.5 prior to the expiration or termination of such representation, warranty or covenant pursuant to this Section 11.1, shall be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived.

Section 11.2 Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the remainder of this Article XI, each Seller and Owner (each, a “Seller Indemnifying Party”) hereby agrees, from and after the Closing, to jointly and severally indemnify and hold Purchaser and its respective officers, members, employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(a) any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses, (as limited by the limitations set forth in Section 11.8, individually, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”) based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty of any Seller Indemnifying Party set forth in this Agreement or any other Seller Document or Owner Document, to be true and correct in all respects at the date hereof and at the Closing Date or other date as set forth therein;

(b) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of any Seller Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or any Seller Document or Owner Document;

(d) any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) incident to any and all Losses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder.

Section 11.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the remainder of this Article XI, Purchaser and Parent, hereby, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold Owner, each Seller and their respective Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(a) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or any other Purchaser Document, to be true and correct at the date hereof and at the Closing Date;

(b) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Purchaser Document;

(d) any and all Expenses incident to any and all Losses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder; and

(e) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from an audit performed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts related to its correspondence dated January 15, 2016.

Section 11.4 Limitations.

(a) None of the Seller Indemnifying Parties, collectively on the one hand, nor Purchaser, on the other hand, shall have any Liability under Sections 11.2(a) or 11.3(a) (and to the extent applicable thereto, Sections 11.2(d) or 11.3(d)), as the case may be, (i) for any event or condition for which the Losses do not exceed $75,000.00 (the “De Minimis Basket”) and (ii) unless the aggregate amount of Losses for events or conditions that exceed the De Minimis Basket incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties for such Sections, respectively, exceeds $2,400,000.00 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Seller Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, or Purchaser and Parent, on the other, as the case may be, shall, subject to the other limitation set forth in this Article XI, be required to pay the Losses arising out of events or conditions that exceed the De Minimis Basket in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the De Minimis Basket and the Deductible limitation described in this Section 11.4(a) shall not apply to Losses related to the failure of any Fundamental Representations (excluding Section 5.17 (Environmental Matters)) to be true and correct. No Seller Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under Sections 11.2(b), (c) and (d) for Losses arising out of Manufacturer’s Defect Claims unless the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $50,000.00 (the “Defect Basket”), in which case the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall be required to pay for such Losses arising out of Manufacturer’s Defect Claims in excess of the Defect Basket, provided that such Losses actually do arise out of defects in manufacturing by a Seller.

(b) None of Sellers or Owner, collectively on the one hand, nor Purchaser or Parent, on the other hand, shall have any Liability under Sections 11.2(a) or 11.3(a) (and to the extent applicable thereto, Sections 11.2(d) or 11.3(d)), as the case may be (i) in excess of $18,000,000.00, except for Losses arising out of breaches of Fundamental Representations, or (ii) for Losses in the aggregate in excess of the Purchase Price.

(c) No time limitation set forth in Section 11.1 or limitations based upon an amount set forth in Sections 11.4(a) or 11.4(b) shall apply with regard to claims arising out of Fraud.

(d) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 will be reduced by all insurance or other third party indemnification proceeds actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties. Purchaser and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) mitigate such Losses and (ii) claim and recover any Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under all such insurance policies and other third party indemnities. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall remit to Sellers and Owner for the benefit of Sellers and Owner any such insurance or other third party proceeds

that are paid to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties have been previously compensated pursuant to Section 11.2.

(e) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 will be reduced for Losses to the extent that any Losses or related Liability has been taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital.

(f) No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be compensated more than once for the same Loss.

(g) None of the Retention Bonus Escrow Amount shall be used to satisfy any Claims made under this Section 11.

Section 11.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand (“Claim”) shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Sections 11.2 or 11.3 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 11.4), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party (and in the case of a Claim made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party prior to the Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, to the Indemnity Escrow Agent; reference is made to Section 3(b) of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement which provides for release of funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account upon Sellers’ Representative’s failure to object to such Claim within twenty one (21) days following such notice), and such written notice shall contain an estimate of the Claim amount. With respect to a Claim that arises out of a Legal Proceeding brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in

connection with any Third Party Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.5 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any indemnifiable Third Party Claim unless the claimant provides to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the indemnifiable Third Party Claim. After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required, subject to Section 11.5(c), to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(b) Subject to Section 11.1, the failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

(c) Any payment that a Seller Indemnifying Party is obligated to make to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XI shall be paid first, to the extent there are sufficient funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account, from the Indemnity Escrow Account. On the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Indemnity Escrow Termination Date”), the Indemnity Escrow Agent shall release the Indemnity Escrow Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (to the extent not utilized to pay any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Claim) to the Sellers’ Representative, except that the Escrow Agent shall retain an amount (up to the total amount then held by the Indemnity Escrow Agent) equal to the amount of all Claims for indemnification under this Article XI asserted in accordance with Section 11.5(a) prior to the Indemnity Escrow Termination Date but not yet resolved (“Unresolved Claims”). The Indemnity Escrow Amount retained for Unresolved Claims shall be released by the Indemnity Escrow Agent (to the extent not utilized to pay the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any such Claims resolved in favor of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties) upon their resolution in accordance with this Article XI and the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Each release of funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be made in accordance with Section 3.3(e), this Article XI and the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. For clarity, the Retention Bonus Escrow Account is not available for the payment the working capital adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) or for the payment of any Claims under this Article XI. Each of Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Indemnity Escrow Agent to release funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account as provided in this Section 11.5(c).

Section 11.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Purchaser and Sellers agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article XI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by

any Taxing Authority, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Expenses incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

Section 11.7 Exclusivity. Except (a) in the case of Fraud and (b) in the case where a party seeks to obtain injunctive relief or specific performance, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, with respect to any matter in any way arising from or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter. Subject to the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, the parties hereto hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, whether under any Laws, at common law, in equity or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 11.7, together with the provisions of this Article XI, were specifically bargained for by the parties and were taken into account by such Persons in arriving at the Purchase Price. Sellers and Owner have specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section 11.7, together with the provisions of this Article XI, in agreeing to the Purchase Price and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth herein.

Section 11.8 No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement and with the exception of a party’s indemnification obligations arising from a Third Party Claim, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person, including loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution of value, loss of business reputation or opportunity or loss based upon multiples of income or revenue, relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof (provided that such limitation with respect to lost profits shall not limit Sellers’ right to recover contract damages in connection with Purchaser’s failure to close in violation of this Agreement).

Section 11.9 Subrogation. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any indemnifiable Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party against any third party in respect of the Losses to which the payment related. The parties hereto will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Payment of Sales, Use or Similar Taxes.

(a) Purchaser shall be responsible for (and shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers against) any sales taxes applicable to the Purchased Assets and for all other applicable sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges (including motor vehicle registration, title recording or filing fees

and other amounts payable in respect of transfer filings) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than taxes measured by or with respect to income imposed on Sellers or their Affiliates). Sellers shall file all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner.

(b) All real property taxes, personal property taxes, or ad valorem obligations and similar recurring Taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets for taxable periods beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, shall be prorated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date. Sellers shall be responsible for and shall pay all such Taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets accruing solely during any period up to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay all such Taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets accruing solely during any period on or after the Closing Date. With respect to Taxes described in this Section 12.1(b), Sellers shall timely file all Tax Returns due before the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes and Purchaser shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns due on or after the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes. If one party remits to the appropriate taxing authority payment for Taxes, which are subject to proration under this Section 12.1(b) and such payment includes the other party’s share of such Taxes, such other party shall promptly reimburse the remitting party for its share of such Taxes.

Section 12.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Sellers and Owner, on the one hand, and Purchaser shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The expenses associated with retaining the Indemnity Escrow Agent and the escrow agent used for the Retention Bonus Escrow Agreement shall be shared equally between the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand.

Section 12.3 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. Each party agrees that any suit, action or proceeding brought by such party against the other in connection with or arising from this Agreement (“Judicial Action”) shall be brought against any of the parties only in any court in Dallas County, Texas and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and of the appropriate appellate court) in any such Judicial Action and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such Judicial Action proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party at the address referred to in Section 12.6, together with written notice of such service to such party, shall be deemed effective service of process upon such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not (and will cause its Affiliates not to) bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letter, the Transaction Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

Section 12.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the exhibits hereto and the Disclosure Schedules) and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 12.3, 12.4, 12.5, 12.8, 12.10 and 12.14 may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in a manner materially adverse to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any action, claim, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving a Financing Source in connection with this Agreement the Transaction Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Section 12.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement except for the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the Seller Indemnified Parties or as otherwise provided below in Section 12.9 and except that the Financing Sources shall be third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to enforce Sections 12.3, 12.4, 12.5, 12.8, 12.10 and 12.14. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Sellers, Owner or Purchaser, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 12.9 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative, Sellers or their Affiliates (other than Owner) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Sellers under this Agreement or the Seller Documents of or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 12.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, HEIR OR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A PARTY

NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION, IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.10 HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE PARTIES HERETO, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. NO PARTY HERETO HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.10 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Contract executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative on all Representative Matters, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller Indemnifying Party by the Sellers’ Representative with respect to any Representative Matters, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller Indemnifying Party by the

Sellers’ Representative with respect to any Representative Matters, as fully binding upon such Seller Indemnifying Party.

(c) The power of attorney granted in Section 12.12(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by Sellers’ Representative; and (iii) shall survive the dissolution, death or incapacity of each of the Seller Indemnifying Parties.

Section 12.13 Parent Guaranty.

(a) Parent hereby fully and irrevocably guarantees the payment of all monetary obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement as and when due and payable by Purchaser (the “Obligations”), and if Purchaser shall fail to pay any of the Obligations as and when due, Parent shall, within 10 Business Days after receipt of a written demand, immediately pay the same at the time and place and in the manner provided in this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 12.13(e) below, Parent’s guaranty and responsibility shall not be discharged, released, diminished, or impaired in whole or in part by any setoff, counterclaim, defense, act or occurrence which Parent may have against Sellers as a result of or arising out of this Agreement or any other transaction.

(c) Subject to Section 12.13(a) above and Section 12.13(e) below, the Obligations shall not be released, discharged, diminished or impaired by (i) the renewal, extension, modification or alteration by Sellers and Purchaser, with or without the knowledge or consent of Parent, of this Agreement or of any liability or obligation of Purchaser hereunder, (ii) any forbearance or compromise granted to Purchaser by Sellers when dealing with Purchaser except to the extent of such forbearance or compromise, (iii) any change in entity structure or ownership of Purchaser or the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up or termination of Purchaser or the fact that at any time Purchaser does not exist, (iv) the inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser under this Agreement, (v) any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of

(d) Parent waives notice of (i) acceptance of the guaranty contained in this Section 12.13 (the “Guaranty”) and (ii) the creation, renewal, extension, modification, alteration or existence of any liability or obligation of Purchaser constituting part of the Obligations.
