The post-Closing determination of Adjustable Inventory Value will be based on the actual Adjustable Inventory as of the Effective Time, determined based upon the Estimated Adjustable Inventory Value as adjusted for purchases, production and sales from the time the Estimated Adjustable Inventory Value was calculated until the Effective Time and will conform in all respects to the inventory valuation principles and methodologies set forth in Exhibit D. If the Adjustable Inventory Value Adjustment is a positive amount, such amount will be paid by Buyer to Seller, and if the Adjustable Inventory Value Adjustment is a negative amount, such amount will be paid by the Seller to Buyer, each as provided in Section 2.06(d) below.

(b)From and after the date upon which Seller delivers its report and calculations pursuant to Section 2.05(b), each party, at the other party's request, will make available to the other party and its agents and Representatives the books, records and worksheets supporting, and the personnel who prepared, any calculation or report provided for in Section 2.05 or Section 2.06.

The communications between such persons in connection with this Section 2.06 may be given by email, fax, registered mail, overnight courier or any other comparable means, but any such communication will be deemed received only upon actual receipt. Notice of any dispute that they cannot resolve and changes in such contact person and contact information will only be made pursuant to Section 10.02.

(c)If Seller does not (i) give written notice to Buyer of an objection to the Adjustable Inventory Value Report, together with a reasonably detailed description of any changes that Seller proposes to be made to the calculation of Adjustable Inventory Value and detailed supporting calculations, within 30 days after Seller's receipt of such report, or (ii) notify Buyer at any time within such 30-day period that Seller accepts the Adjustable Inventory Value Report, the Adjustable Inventory Value Report will become binding in its entirety at the end of such 30-day period. If Seller has notified Buyer that Seller accepts the Adjustable Inventory Value Report within such 30-day period, the Adjustable Inventory Value Report will become binding in its entirety as of the date of such notification. If Seller objects to any part of the Adjustable Inventory Value Report within such 30-day period, and the Seller and Buyer are unable to agree as to all disputed parts within 30 days after Seller's objection is received by Buyer, then (x) the agreed-upon parts (if any) of the Adjustable Inventory Value Report will become binding on the parties at the end of the 30-day period after Seller's objection is received by Buyer and paid in accordance with Section 2.06(d) and (y) the disputed parts will be resolved pursuant to the binding dispute resolution process as provided in Section 2.06(e).

(d)If the Adjustable Inventory Value Report delivered to Seller has become binding in whole and indicates that Buyer is to make a payment to Seller, then such payment will be made within seven (7) days after the Adjustable Inventory Value Report

becomes binding as provided in Section 2.06(c). If the Adjustable Inventory Value Report as delivered to Seller has become binding in whole and indicates that Seller is to make a payment to Buyer, then such payment will be made within seven (7) days after the Adjustable Inventory Value Report becomes binding as provided in Section 2.06(c). If the Adjustable Inventory Value Report is disputed, in whole or in part, by Seller in accordance with Section 2.06(c), then (i) payment of amounts related to the undisputed parts that have become binding will be made in accordance with the foregoing and (ii) payment of amounts related to each disputed part will be made only when the final Adjustable Inventory Value Adjustment is determined in accordance with Section 2.06(e). For the avoidance of doubt, any disputes with respect to the Adjustable Inventory Value Report will defer the payment only of amounts related to the disputed parts. All payments pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) will be by wire transfer in accordance with the recipient's instructions.

(e)Any disputes regarding the Adjustable Inventory Value Report will be submitted to and settled by the binding dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 2.06(e). The dispute will be (a) submitted for resolution to a partner in the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who has at least 10 years' experience in resolving disputes and who is designated in writing by another partner of the firm (the designated partner, the "Accountant"), (b) conducted in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.06(e), and (c) initiated by either Seller or Buyer sending a notice to the other electing to resolve the dispute in accordance with this Section 2.06(e). The Accountant will undertake to complete the dispute resolution and issue his written report within 60 days after he receives the notice referred to above (the "Dispute Resolution Period"). Each of Seller and Buyer will promptly submit to the Accountant all materials requested by the Accountant, promptly respond to questions asked by the Accountant, so that the Accountant can issue his report on or before the end of the Dispute Resolution Period. The Accountant may, if he or she elects, hold a one-day hearing at the Accountant's offices. The Accountant (who will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator) will undertake in good faith to issue a written report (which will briefly summarize the reasons for the determination) by the end of the Dispute Resolution Period. The Accountant's report will set forth a determination only with respect to the disputed amounts (and for avoidance of doubt, will not include any other finding or award), and will be based solely on the information made available to the Accountant (to the extent the Accountant considers appropriate) and the terms of this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Accountant will not vary the terms of this Agreement, but rather will strictly apply them to the dispute and without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, will not employ any means of calculating the components of Adjustable Inventory Value which are different from the principles and methodologies set forth in Exhibit D, to the extent that such means are inconsistent with or not provided for in Exhibit D). The decision for each disputed amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the calculation of the Adjustable Inventory Value Adjustment and value attributable thereto by Seller in its objection to the Adjustable Inventory Value Adjustment. The decision of the Accountant will be final and binding on the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, with payment being due from Seller or Buyer, as applicable, to the other party within 10 days after the issuance of the decision. The Accountant will not award costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), or damages, interest or penalties to any party. Each of the Buyer and the Seller will pay 50% of the Accountant's fees and expenses, but otherwise each party will pay its own costs and expenses of the dispute resolution process of this Section 2.06(e).

Section 2.07Allocation of the Purchase Price. Within ninety days (90) after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (including any Assumed Liabilities treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes) (the "Allocation Schedule"). The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. The Allocation Schedule shall be deemed final, and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, unless Seller delivers to Buyer a written notice identifying each item reflected in the Allocation Schedule to which Seller takes exception within 30 days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller (such items "Allocation Objections") (it being understood that any amounts not disputed by Seller shall be final and binding). Upon delivery of the Allocation Objections, if any, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 60 days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule, then Seller and Buyer shall each be entitled to adopt their own positions regarding the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets for applicable tax purposes. If the parties agree on the Allocation Schedule (or such schedule is deemed accepted), Seller and Buyer agree to file their respective IRS Forms 8594 and all federal, state and local Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule.

Section 2.08Non-assignable Rights.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.08, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Assigned Contract or Business Permit (i) would result in a violation of applicable Law or (ii) would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority), and such consent, authorization, approval or waiver shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, of such Assigned Contract or Business Permit (each, a "Non-assignable Right"); provided, however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article VII, the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof. Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain, any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver or (if required in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.08) any release, substitution or amendment required to novate any Non-assignable Rights so that they can effectively be transferred to Buyer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing upon the terms set forth in this Agreement (without regard to the provisions of this Section 2.08); provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor.

(a)Seller shall give prompt notice to the Buyer of (i) any matter hereafter arising or discovered which, if existing or known at the date of the Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Seller Disclosure Schedules, (ii) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which is

reasonably expected to cause any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in Article IV to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Closing, (iii) any failure of Seller to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by Seller hereunder, (iv) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that any consent, approval or authorization of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (v) the commencement of any Action by a Governmental Authority or other Person that could reasonably be expected to affect the transactions contemplated hereby in any material respect; provided, however, that any such notice shall in any event be delivered to the Buyer no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. In addition, the Seller shall promptly provide written notice to the Buyer if any Key Customer or Key Supplier or any other lessor, licensor, licensee, distributor, contractor or other Person having a material business relationship with Seller relating to the Business informs the Seller or any member of the management of the Seller orally or in writing that such Person intends to terminate or alter in any material respect such relationship, whether as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise.

(b)From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware after the date hereof (each a "Schedule Supplement"). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) have been satisfied and for purposes of the indemnification provisions of Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Seller Disclosure Schedules are supplemented after the date hereof to reflect any matter (A) that first arises after the date of this Agreement and, if existing on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedules in order for the representations and warranties of Seller to be true and correct and (B) that does not arise, in whole or in substantial part, from a breach by Seller of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, (ii) if Seller acknowledges in writing to Buyer when such supplement or amendment is delivered to Buyer that the matter disclosed in such supplement or amendment would cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Buyer to not be fulfilled at the Closing, and (iii) Buyer nonetheless elects to proceed with the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, such supplement or amendment shall be deemed to have qualified, as applicable, the representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date by Seller pursuant to Article IV for purposes of determining any indemnification rights of Buyer under this Agreement.

Section 6.04Certain Employees Matters.

(a)Employee Information. Seller has previously provided or made available to Buyer, as of the date hereof, (i) a list of all Business Employees, (ii) each Business Employee's rate of base salary or hourly wage compensation, total annual compensation (including incentive and similar compensation), title, job location, beginning service date, period of service recognized by each Employee Plan (if applicable), vacation entitlement and target bonus opportunity and (iii) whether a Business Employee is on active status or on leave of absence, whether short-term, family, paternity, short-term disability, paid, unpaid or other leave,

and projected return date, if any. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with written updates to such information to reflect new hires and terminations of employment of Business Employees between the date hereof and the fifth Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Following the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall not transfer any Must-Offer Employee or May-Offer Employee to a position unrelated to the Business.

(b)Offers of Employment. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall make offers of employment in writing for employment with Buyer commencing on the applicable Employee Transfer Date and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.04 to (i) each of the Must-Offer Employees and (ii) those May-Offer Employees as Buyer shall deem appropriate. Following the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall take reasonable efforts to have the May-Offer Employees available to interview for employment with Buyer. Each Business Employee shall have at least five Business Days from the date of the offer of employment to accept the offer. Seller shall not induce or otherwise attempt to influence any such Business Employee to not accept his or her offer of employment from Buyer. Each Business Employee who accepts Buyer's offer of employment and satisfies Buyer's standard hiring policies shall be hired by Buyer as of the applicable Employee Transfer Date, it being understood that such Business Employee will thereafter become an employee of Buyer (such Business Employees to collectively be referred to as the "Hired Employees"). In respect of any Business Employee who is (i) absent from work due to short or long-term disability or an authorized leave of absence and (ii) returns to work within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date or such later period as the Business Employee has the right to return to work under applicable Law and satisfies Buyer's standard hiring policies (any such Business Employee, a "Leave Employee"), Buyer's offer of employment to the Leave Employee shall provide for employment effective as of the date on which such Leave Employee returns to work and, if such Leave Employee accepts Buyer's offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer, such Leave Employee shall be considered a Transferred Employee under this Agreement effective as of his or her Employee Transfer Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Employee Transfer Date" shall be (A) for Hired Employees other than the Leave Employees, the Effective Time, and (B) for Leave Employees, 12:01 A.M. local time on the date on which such Leave Employee's period of absence expires and such Leave Employee returns to active employment. Any Business Employee that declines Buyer's offer of employment (or fails to timely respond to such offer), fails to satisfy Buyer's standard hiring policies, or, in the case of a Leave Employee, does not timely return from such employee's absences or leave as provided above, shall not be a Hired Employee.

(c)Benefits for Hired Employees. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the 12^th full calendar month after the Closing Date, Buyer will provide to each Hired Employee (excluding those who have quit or been terminated) compensation and employee benefits that, with respect to each such Hired Employee, are not less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation and benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates; provided, however, that the compensation and benefits of the Hired Employees who were covered by the Applicable CBA shall be as set out in either the Applicable CBA, as assumed by Buyer or Buyer's Affiliate, or a collective bargaining agreement entered into between Buyer or Buyer's Affiliate and International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Cement, Lime, Gypsum and Allied Workers Division, Local Lodge D-357, as determined by Buyer ("Post-Closing CBA"), covering such Hired Employee's employment until such collective

bargaining agreement's expiration, modification or termination in accordance with its terms or applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, the vacation and other paid time off provided to each Hired Employee will include his or her accrued but unpaid vacation and other paid time off that are assumed by Buyer as Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.03. Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall credit Hired Employees with their accrued but unpaid vacation and other paid time off benefits as of the Closing Date for use by an employee in accordance with Buyer’s policies in respect thereof.

(d)Severance Payments. Buyer will provide each Hired Employee whose employment is not covered by the Post-Closing CBA who incurs a termination of employment during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the 12th full calendar month after the Closing Date with severance payments and severance benefits that are no less favorable than the greater of (i) the severance payments and severance benefits to which such Hired Employee would have been entitled with respect to such termination under the severance policies of Seller as in effect immediately before the Closing Date and (ii) the severance payments and severance benefits to which a similarly situated employee of Buyer and its Affiliates would have been entitled with respect to such termination under the severance policies of Buyer and its Affiliates.

(e)Service Credit. Buyer will give each Hired Employee full credit for such Hired Employee's service with Seller and its Affiliates for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and determination of the amount and level of benefits (except for purposes of benefit accruals under defined benefit pension plans) pursuant to any benefit plans made generally available to employees or officers or any class or level of employees or officers maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which a Hired Employee participates to the same extent recognized by Seller immediately before the Closing Date; provided, however, that such service is not to be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(f)Welfare Benefits. Buyer will (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Hired Employees, their spouses and their eligible dependents under any plan of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer that provides health and welfare benefits in which Hired Employees, their spouses and their eligible dependents may be eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, except for any limitations that were in effect with respect to such employees as of the Closing under the analogous plan of Seller, (ii) credit any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Hired Employees and their eligible dependents under the health and other plans in which they participated immediately before the Closing Date during the portion of the calendar year before the Closing Date in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health plans of Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which they are eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred, and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Hired Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Closing Date, in each case to the extent such Hired Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous plan of Seller before the Closing Date.

(g)401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer will maintain or designate a defined contribution plan and related trust intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code (the "Buyer 401(k) Plan"). Effective as of the Closing, the Hired Employees cease participation in the Seller 401(k) Plan, and commence participation in the Buyer 401(k) Plan. Seller and Buyer will take all action necessary or appropriate to allow Hired Employees to rollover their account balances (excluding any outstanding loan balances) from the Seller 401(k) Plan to the Buyer 401(k) Plan in a direct rollover.

(h) Health and Dependent Flex Account Transfer. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer will, as to the Hired Employees, have in effect flexible spending reimbursement accounts for medical and dependent care expenses under a cafeteria plan qualified under IRC §125 and will credit such accounts with the amount credited as of the Closing under comparable accounts maintained with Seller from the beginning of the plan year to the Closing Date. As soon as practical after the Closing (i) Seller will pay to Buyer in cash the amount, if any, by which aggregate contributions made by Hired Employees to Seller's flexible spending accounts for such plan year exceeded the aggregate benefits provided to Hired Employees for such plan year as of the Closing; or (ii) Buyer will pay to Seller in cash the amount, if any, by which aggregate benefits provided to Hired Employees under Seller's flexible spending accounts exceeded the aggregate contributions made by Hired Employees for such plan year as of the Closing Date.

(i)COBRA Coverage. Seller will provide for any required continuation coverage pursuant to Section §4980B of the Code ("COBRA Coverage") with respect to any "qualifying event" (as defined in Section §4980B(f)(i) of the Code) that occurred before the Closing Date and Buyer will provide COBRA Coverage for the Hired Employees and their qualified beneficiaries with respect to qualifying events occurring on or after the Closing Date.

(j)Actions by Affiliates. All obligations undertaken by Buyer or Seller under this Section 6.04 may be satisfied in whole or in part by an Affiliate of such person.

(k)Cooperation; Employee and Plan Information. Seller and Buyer each will, and each will cause its Affiliates as necessary to, cooperate (i) in carrying out the provisions of this Section 6.04 (including working with third-party administrators and insurance carriers and making available to the other such records and other information as the other may reasonably request to facilitate the determination of the period of service and salary of any Hired Employee with Seller or an Affiliate) and (ii) in the preparation, execution and filing of documents required by the transfer of assets and liabilities pursuant to this Section 6.04.

(l)WARN Act. Seller will be responsible for any action prior to or at Closing and Buyer will be responsible for any action after Closing that results in a "mass layoff" or "plant closing" under the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any similar state or local Applicable Law (collectively, the "WARN Act"), including, in the case of any action after Closing, any such event that is triggered in part by any "employment losses" (as defined under the WARN Act) before the Closing Date.

(m)Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties do not intend for this Section 6.04 or any other term or provision of this Agreement to create any rights or obligations as between Buyer and Seller, and no past, present, or future employee (or their family members) of Buyer or Seller will be treated as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(n)No Amendment to Employee Plans. No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any other agreement, plan, program or document unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision "amends" that other agreement, plan, program or document. If a party not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to another agreement, plan, program or document, and that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as an amendment in this Agreement, that provision shall lapse retroactively, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect.

(o)Annual Bonus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall pay each bonus-eligible Hired Employee a pro rata portion of such employee’s annual incentive bonus for service through the Closing Date, based on such employee’s target bonus for the year in which the Closing Date occurs, in accordance with the Seller’s applicable bonus programs.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees, following the Closing, to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement relating to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 6.05 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect as to all information provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all documents and information concerning the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities furnished by Seller or any of its Affiliates, agents, employees or Representatives (including all copies, if any). Seller hereby acknowledges that, by reason of its ownership and operation of the Business, it has acquired, and may acquire after the date hereof pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions and arrangements contemplated hereby, confidential or proprietary information relating to the affairs, operations, assets, liabilities, personnel, results of operations and financial condition of the Business ("Business Confidential Information"), and that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if at any time after the Closing any Business Confidential Information possessed by Seller or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents were disclosed to or used by any Person other than Purchaser or its Affiliates. From and after the Closing, Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, and that it shall use reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents not to, use or disclose any such Business Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Buyer, except in the performance of the terms of Transaction Documents, in the enforcement of its rights under the Transaction Documents or with the prior written consent of Buyer.

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, Business Confidential Information shall not include any information that Seller can demonstrate is or becomes publicly available through

no wrongful act or breach of obligation of confidentiality by Seller. In the event that the Seller or any of its Representatives is required by Law or Governmental Order to produce any Business Confidential Information or any other information concerning the Business, such production shall not be a violation of this Agreement and Seller and its Representatives shall, to the extent legally permissible, (i) notify Buyer in writing as soon as practicable to permit Buyer a reasonable amount of time to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy (in which case Seller will cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s cost, to the extent as Buyer may reasonably request), (ii) cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s cost, to preserve the confidentiality of such Business Confidential Information consistent with applicable Law, and (iii) use its reasonable efforts to limit any such disclosure to the minimum disclosure necessary to comply with such Law or Governmental Order.

Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

(c)All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not

including any interactions between Seller or Buyer with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals.

(c)Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any Books or Records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 6.07 where such access would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or violate or contravene any Law or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 6.08Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the Closing conditions set forth in Article VII hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees to cooperate in good faith to agree upon and finalize Exhibit G hereto, which sets forth the scope of transition services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement and shall be Exhibit A to the Transition Services Agreement, promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided, however, that such agreement shall be a condition to Closing so long as the scope of services requested by Buyer to be included in the Transition Services Agreement does not vary from the scope of services set forth on Exhibit G hereto and the fees for such services are the full actual costs of the applicable service provider.

Section 6.09Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), each of the parties hereto will cooperate with each other in the development and distribution of all news releases and other public information disclosures with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and no party hereto shall make any such news release or public disclosure without having complied with its obligations under this Section 6.09.

Buyer shall, at its own expense, timely file

Section 6.15Retained Names; Transition Marks. (a) To the extent any of the Retained Names appear on any plants, buildings, signs, equipment or other structures that constitute Purchased Assets, Buyer shall, within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, remove or obliterate, or cause to be removed or obliterated, the Retained Names from such plants, buildings, signs, equipment or other structures (including on uniforms and motor vehicles). Seller may remove, or cause to be removed, from the Real Property on or prior to the Closing all stationery, business forms, packaging, containers and other similar personal property on which any of the Retained Names appear; provided, however, to the extent any such items are inadvertently left on the Real Property, Buyer shall not use any such items without first removing or obliterating, or causing to be removed or obliterated, the Retained Names from such materials. Buyer will not use any vehicles with any Retained Name or related signage outside the Seller Facilities (whether to deliver product or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in this Section 6.15, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights to, and shall not use in any manner, the Retained Names on or after the Closing.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.15, Seller, shall cause Buyer to be granted a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, (i) with respect to the “CEMEX” trademark, for the six (6) month period following the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to the “RICHMORTAR”, “RICHCOLOR” and “STONESET” trademarks (together with the “CEMEX” trademark, the “Transition Marks”), for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing Date (such nine (9) month period, or six (6) month period, as applicable, the “Applicable Transition Period”) solely for use on cement bags in the manner that such Transition Marks were set forth on cement bags contained in the Purchased Assets at Closing. Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to transition from use of the Transition Marks as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to expiration of the Applicable Transition Period.

(c)In no event will Buyer use any of the Transition Marks that are subject to the license under this Section 6.15 after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose other than in the same manner that such Transition Marks were being used by the Business during the twelve (12) month period preceding the Closing. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, all products sold by the Business using any Transition Xxxx will be consistent in nature and quality with such products as sold by the Business in the twelve (12) month period preceding Closing.

Section 6.16Release of Seller Performance Support. Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts (and Seller will cooperate, at its sole cost and expense, as reasonably requested by Buyer and without charge) to (a) obtain with respect to all Performance Bonds and similar instruments issued with respect to Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the Business new performance bonds or other security with respect to Buyer's acts or omissions on or after the Closing Date that are satisfactory to the beneficiary; and (b) cause Seller and each of its Affiliates to be released from post-Closing liabilities and obligations under all of the Performance Bonds and similar instruments issued with respect to Seller and its Affiliates and under any guarantees and similar instruments entered into in connection with them (collectively with the Performance Bonds and similar instruments referred to in clause (b) above, the "Seller Performance Support"). Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer will make commercially reasonable financial accommodation, provide such security reasonably required by the issuer, and agree to any additional reasonable requirements of the issuer as a condition to obtaining such replacement and release of Seller Performance Support. Buyer will pay and otherwise be responsible for any Losses in respect of post-Closing liabilities incurred or suffered by Seller or any of its Affiliates as a result of any Seller Performance Support not having been replaced and released as set forth above.

Section 6.17Casualty Loss. (a) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, any improvements on any Real Property or Tangible Personal Property included in the Purchased Assets (other than Adjustable Inventory) is destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire, earthquake, flood, or other casualty (a "Casualty Loss"), Seller shall promptly notify the Buyer thereof, and Seller and Buyer shall promptly jointly engage and retain an independent insurance adjuster (the “Insurance Adjuster”) to assess the extent of the Casualty Loss and promptly deliver a report (the “Casualty Loss Report”) to each of Seller and Buyer with its

determination of the cost to repair and replace the Purchased Asset in accordance with industry practice (such amount, the “Casualty Amount”).

(b) If the Casualty Amount is determined by the Insurance Adjuster not to be in excess of $30,000,000, then Seller shall, at its option, either (i) expend an amount not in excess of the Casualty Amount to effect the repair of such damage or destruction (which repair may be completed following the Closing), or (ii) pay Buyer an amount in cash not greater than the Casualty Amount to effect the repair of such damage or destruction.

(c) If the Casualty Loss is determined by the Insurance Adjuster to exceed $30,000,000, then, unless within thirty (30) Business Days following the receipt by Seller of the Casualty Loss Report (“Election Period”) Seller agrees to either (i) expend an amount not in excess of the Casualty Amount to effect the repair of such damage or destruction (which repair may be completed following the Closing) or (ii) pay Buyer an amount in cash not greater than the Casualty Amount to effect the repair of such damage or destruction, Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement during the ten (10) Business Day period following the end of the Election Period by providing written notice to the Seller thereof.

Section 6.18Title and Survey.

(a)Identified Parcels. With respect to each parcel of Owned Real Property set forth on Section 6.18 of the Seller Disclosures Schedules (“Identified Parcels”), promptly after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall obtain and provide to Buyer (i) from a surveyor reasonably acceptable to Buyer, an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey (which survey shall depict any improvements, easements, rights-of-way, encroachments and any other plottable matters affecting the real property depicted thereon) (each an “Identified Parcel Alta Survey”); and (ii) from First American Title Insurance Company (“Title Agent”), title insurance commitments for the issuance of Owner's Title Insurance Policies on each Identified Parcel naming Buyer as the proposed insured together with copies of all exception documents referenced therein (each an “Identified Parcel Title Commitment”). Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of an Identified Parcel Title Commitment to examine same. Buyer shall, on or before the end of said fifteen (15) day review period, notify Seller in writing of the title exceptions listed in the Identified Parcel Title Commitment to which it objects, which shall not include Permitted Encumbrances (“Noted Exceptions”). Seller shall inform Buyer prior to Closing whether Seller will cure such Noted Exceptions or obtain an endorsement for additional title insurance or indemnification that satisfies such objection. Notwithstanding Buyer’s fifteen (15) day review period, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller if Buyer determines that it has no objections to any Identified Parcel Title Commitment. If Buyer does not provide notice of objections to Seller as set forth above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any remaining uncured objections and accepted the Identified Parcel Title Commitment; provided that Buyer shall be deemed to have objected to, and the same shall be deemed Noted Exceptions, any monetary encumbrances. With respect to any Ohio standard title exceptions, Seller agrees to (i) provide a customary owner’s affidavit required by the Title Agent to, in conjunction with the delivery of the Identified Parcel Alta Survey, provide for so-called “extended coverage”, and (ii) cause the Title Agent to perform such searches as may be necessary to remove any exception related to the ownership of mineral rights being vested in any Person other than Seller.

(b)Non-Identified Parcels. With respect to each parcel of Owned Real Property not set forth on Section 6.18 of the Seller Disclosures Schedules (“Non-Identified Parcels”), promptly following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall obtain (i) from a surveyor reasonably acceptable to Buyer, a metes and bounds survey (each a “Metes and Bounds Survey”); and (ii) from the Title Agent, title insurance commitments for the issuance of Owner's Title Insurance Policies on each Non-Identified Parcel naming Buyer as the proposed insured together with copies of all exception documents referenced therein (each a “Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment”). Following Closing, Buyer shall cooperate with Seller to obtain an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey for each Non-Identified Parcel (each a “Non-Identified Parcel Alta Survey”) together with an updated Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment (each an “Updated Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment”). Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of an Updated Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment to examine same. Buyer shall, on or before the end of said fifteen (15) day review period, notify Seller in writing of the title exceptions listed in the Updated Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment to which it objects which shall not include Permitted Encumbrances (“NI Noted Exceptions”). Seller shall inform Buyer within fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice if Seller will cure such NI Noted Exceptions or obtain an endorsement for additional title insurance or indemnification that satisfies such NI Noted Exception. Notwithstanding Buyer’s fifteen (15) day review period, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller if Buyer determines that it has no objections to any Updated Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment. If Buyer does not provide notice of objections to Seller as set forth above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any remaining uncured objections and accepted the Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment; provided that Buyer shall be deemed to have objected to, and the same shall be deemed NI Noted Exceptions, any monetary encumbrances and any exceptions to Seller’s sole ownership of fee title to the entire estate. With respect to any Ohio standard exceptions, Seller agrees to provide a customary owner’s affidavit required by the Title Agent to, in conjunction with the delivery of the Non-Identified Parcel Alta Survey, provide for so-called “extended coverage”. Within 15 days of receipt of all Non-Identified Parcel Alta Surveys together with Updated Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitments for all of the Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitments, Buyer and Seller shall cause the Title Agent to issue Non-Identified Parcel title policies for each Non-Identified Parcel (which may be in the form of a binding obligation from Title Agent to issue such policy in the form of a xxxx-up of the Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment) in accordance with the Non-Identified Parcel Title Commitment insuring Buyer’s fee simple title to the Non-Identified Parcels as of the date of such policy and subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Ohio standard title exceptions for mineral rights and items deemed accepted by Buyer, in such amounts as Seller and Buyer reasonably determine to be the value of the real property insured thereunder.

(c)Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove all Noted Objections and NI Noted Objections. However, if any Noted Objections or NI Noted Objections cannot be removed, and the failure to remove the same does not constitute a Material Adverse Effect, such failure shall not be deemed to have a Material Adverse Effect that would cause the condition set forth in Section 7.02(d) not to be satisfied. The parties agree that the fact that the Closing takes place without any Noted Objections or NI Noted Objections being removed shall not impair or otherwise affect the rights to indemnification under Section 8.02 in respect of any Losses incurred by Buyer resulting from such title defect.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all Noted Exceptions and NI Noted Exceptions which have not been removed, insured by endorsement, or deemed accepted by Buyer, when taken as a whole, would result in a Material Adverse Effect, the condition set forth in Section 7.02(d) shall be deemed not to have been satisfied.

Section 6.19Financial Statements; Cooperation with Auditor. Commencing promptly after the date hereof, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and provide to Buyer no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, in cooperation with Buyer and KPMG LLP (the "Auditor"), the following financial statements (including footnotes thereto) in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to financial statements to be filed with respect to an acquired business: (i) audited annual financial statements of the Business consisting of a balance sheet of the Business as of December 31, 2015 and the related audited statements of operations, statements of changes in net parent investment and statements of cash flows of the Business for the fiscal year then ended, including all footnotes thereto (collectively, the "Annual Financial Statements"), accompanied by an unqualified report of the Auditor with respect thereto (ii) (x) if the Closing occurs prior to November 12, 2016, unaudited interim financial statements of the Business consisting of balance sheets of the Business as of June 30, 2016 and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net parent investment and statements of cash flows of the Business for the three and six-month periods then ended, including all footnotes thereto, or (y) if the Closing occurs on or after November 12, 2016, unaudited interim financial statements of the Business consisting of balance sheets of the Business as of September 30, 2016 and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net parent investment and statements of cash flows of the Business for the three and nine-month periods then ended, including all footnotes thereto, and (iii) unaudited quarterly statements of operations of the Business for each fiscal quarter within the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2015 and (x) if the Closing occurs prior to November 12, 2016, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, or (y) if the Closing occurs on or after November 12, 2016, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and the three month period ended March 31, 2016 (the "Interim Financial Statements").

If the Buyer does not enter into a new lease in the Buyer's name with respect to each Employee

Vehicle at or prior to the Closing, then the Buyer may, at its option, with respect to each Employee Vehicle not subject to a new lease in the Buyer's name, (A) purchase such Employee Vehicle according to the terms required by the lease between the Seller and such lessor, or (B) implement any other reasonable arrangement acceptable to the Seller.

Section 6.21Transfer of Permits. Section 6.21 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules sets forth, to the Seller’s Knowledge, a list of all non-transferable Permits and Environmental Permits of the Business as of the date hereof. Prior to the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer shall work together to transfer to the Buyer, subject to Section 2.08, all Environmental Permits and other Permits currently held by the Seller relating to the Purchased Assets, including cooperating in the preparation and submission to the applicable Governmental Authority of the applications for assignment and any supporting documentation necessary to transfer, amend, modify, or reissue, as applicable, all such Environmental Permits or other Permits from the Seller to the Buyer.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnitees") against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon or arising out of:

(a)any failure of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (other than those made on a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date); provided, however, that all Materiality Qualifications contained in any such representation or warranty shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred and the amount of Losses resulting therefrom;

(b)any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any instrument delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(c)any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability; or

(d)without duplication, Excluded Taxes ("Indemnified Taxes").

Section 8.03Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify each of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the "Seller Indemnitees") against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon or arising out of:

(a)any failure of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (other than those made on a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date); provided, however, that all Materiality Qualifications contained in any such representation or warranty shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred and the amount of Losses resulting therefrom;

(b)any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any instrument delivered by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c)any Assumed Liability.

Section 8.04Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the "Indemnified Party", and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the "Indemnifying Party". The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (other than with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) exceeds $4,000,000.00 (the "Deductible"), in which event Seller shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02(a), Seller shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses (other than with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation) which do not exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). With respect to any claim as to which the Seller Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.03(a), Buyer shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).

(b)The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02(a) (other than with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation) shall not exceed $30,000,000.00. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall either Indemnifying Party's aggregate liability pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.03(a), respectively, exceed the Purchase Price.

(c)Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or

other similar payment from a third party that has actually been received by the Indemnified Party in respect thereof, net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in seeking recovery from the insurer or other third party from whom it is or may be entitled to receive such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or other similar payment. If the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that it is likely to be entitled to recover all or a portion of such Loss from any such insurer or other third party, it shall submit a claim to such insurer or other third party and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery of the applicable portion of such Loss from such insurer or other third party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to commence any Action to enforce its rights against such insurer or other third party unless it elects to do so in its sole discretion; provided, further, however, that any such insurance or other third party proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such Loss after payment by an Indemnifying Party shall be promptly refunded to the Indemnifying Party.

(d)Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit realized as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party; provided that any such benefit realized within two (2) years after payment by an Indemnifying Party shall be promptly refunded to the Indemnifying Party.

(e)Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps required by applicable Law to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that it determines is reasonably likely to give rise thereto.

(f)Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that the limitations provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above apply only to Losses arising from a breach of the representations and warranties specified therein, and do not apply to any other rights to indemnification provided for in this Article VIII, including rights to indemnification against Excluded Liabilities or Assumed Liabilities (as the case may be).

Section 8.05Indemnification Procedures.

(a)Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a "Third Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of any written notice of assertion or commencement thereof received by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the

right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (1) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim or there are any material defenses available to the Indemnified Party that differ from or are in addition to those available to the Indemnified Party or (2) the Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to result in an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, would be expected to materially and adversely affect the business activities or operations of the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall conduct the defense diligently and in a reasonable manner and, in doing so, shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to conduct the defense thereof in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.05(a). If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), conduct, control, pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.05) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the terms of such settlement include the grant by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a full and unconditional release from any and all liability in respect thereof. If the Indemnified Party is conducting its own defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include reasonable supporting documentation and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 60-day period, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors reasonable

information, together with such access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records, as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request to substantiate the Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 60-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)Reliance. The rights of the Buyer Indemnitees to indemnification for breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement, and such rights to indemnification shall not be affected or waived by virtue of, and Buyer Indemnitees shall be deemed to have relied upon the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Buyer Indemnitee of any untruth of any such representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement, regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained (or was capable of being obtained) through the investigation by such Buyer Indemnitee or through disclosure by Seller or any other Person, and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before, at or after the Closing.

Section 8.06Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement and all post-Closing adjustments made pursuant to Section 2.06 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.07Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.11 or to seek or obtain any remedy on account of any party's fraud.

Section 10.05Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.10Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction), except to the extent that mandatory principles of conflicts of law require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction wherein any of the Purchased Assets are located to determine the validity or effect of the sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery thereof in accordance with Article II.

(b)ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOCATED IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON, TEXAS AND COUNTY OF XXXXXX, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY'S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D)

SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 10.10(c).

Section 10.11Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Seller and Buyer would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the other party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other (as applicable), and this right shall include the right of Seller to cause Buyer to draw upon its credit facility and cause the Purchase Price to be fully paid if the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and 7.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 10.12Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Section 10.13Non-recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.14LIMITATION ON CERTAIN DAMAGES.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY (I) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR (II) INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNLESS UNDER APPLICABLE CONTRACT LAW PRINCIPLES SUCH LOSSES WERE A REASONABLY FORESEEABLE CONSEQUENCE OF THE BREACH OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE SAME; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY LOSSES INCURRED BY OR IMPOSED UPON AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN RESPECT OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS FOR WHICH ANY PARTY IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
