The terms of that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated as of May 12, 2008 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) between PNA Group Holding Corporation (a representative of the Company and the Stockholders) and Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (a representative of the Purchaser) are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 6.06 shall terminate. If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing or the Closing does not otherwise take place, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect. From the date hereof and following the Closing, the Stockholders shall hold in strict confidence all Confidential Information of the Company (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), except for disclosures to the Purchaser as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that they will announce the signing of this Agreement pursuant to a mutually acceptable press release and each party will make all required filings with the SEC in connection therewith.

SECTION 6.07. Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents. The Company and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and officials that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and will cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. Each party hereto agrees to make its filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten Business Days of the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) avoid or eliminate any

impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any United States governmental antitrust authority or any other party so as to enable the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated as promptly as practicable, and (ii) defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing from occurring as promptly as practicable; provided that the Purchaser’s board of directors determines in its reasonable business judgment that it is more likely than not that the Purchaser will prevail in such litigation. The Company and the Purchaser shall promptly notify each other of any communication that it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and shall permit the other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party responding to any Governmental Authority inquiry. Neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. The Company and the Purchaser will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act, and will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any such matters relating to disputes between the parties).

SECTION 6.08. Distribution of Travel Main. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all action as shall be required to distribute all of the ownership interests in Travel Main to the Stockholders or to an entity formed by the Stockholders to hold such ownership interests. The Company shall bear all costs, including, but not limited to, any Taxes that may become payable by the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of or in connection to such distribution and the Stockholders shall not bear any liability in connection therewith; provided that: (i) if and to the extent that the amount of net taxable gain realized by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with such distribution, as shown on the Company’s consolidated Tax Return for the period in which such distribution occurs, exceeds $25,000,000, the Stockholders shall pay to the Company an amount equal to 40% of the dollar amount of such excess; and (ii) in no event shall the distribution hereunder cause or result in a “Default” or an “Event of Default” under any of the Company’s debt instruments described in clauses (A) through (D) of Section 5.06 when all other distributions or payments to be made by the Company in connection with this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the payments to be made under and pursuant to the Participation Plan) and any Tax liability arising in connection therewith have been accrued, made and/or paid. If the Stockholders are required to make a payment to the Company pursuant to clause (i) above, the Company shall deliver to the Stockholders an as-filed copy of the Tax Return applicable thereto together with a calculation of such net taxable gain in reasonable detail, and the Stockholders shall pay the amount to the Company within five Business Days following receipt of such Tax Return and such calculation. Any amounts paid by the Stockholders under this Section 6.08 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

SECTION 6.09. Resignations of Certain Officers and Directors. The Company shall cause each of the individuals serving as officers and/or directors of the Company and of each of the Subsidiaries that are agents or representatives of, or otherwise primarily affiliated with, the Stockholders to resign in writing from such officer and director positions, effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing, and to promptly deliver copies of such resignations to Purchaser.

SECTION 6.10. No Sales or Transfers of any of the Shares. Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that, from the date hereof through the Closing, such Stockholder shall continue to hold the Shares held by such Stockholder as of the date hereof, as set forth on the Schedule of Stockholders attached hereto, and shall not sell, transfer or hypothecate any of such Shares and shall preserve such Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances.

SECTION 6.11. Purchase Price Adjustment. On the second Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a written statement of the average aggregate balance of the borrowings under the debt instruments described in clauses (A) through (D) of Section 5.06, less the consolidated cash of the Company (excluding any consolidated debt or consolidated cash of Travel Main), over the fifteen (15) Business Days ending on the third Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date. The Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount equal to the amount, if any, by which such average is less than $750,000,000. Without limiting its other obligations hereunder, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, the Company shall manage its current assets and current liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything herein, in no event will the aggregate balance of the borrowings under the debt instruments described in clauses (A) through (D) of Section 5.06, less the consolidated cash of the Company (excluding any consolidated debt or consolidated cash of Travel Main), exceed $755,000,000 as of immediately prior to the Closing.

SECTION 6.12. Further Action. The parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 8.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by either the Company or the Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred before October 2, 2008; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(a) shall not be available to the Company if the Closing has not occurred prior to such date due to the breach by the Company or any Stockholder of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the failure by the Company or any Stockholder to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, and such right shall not be available to the Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred prior to such date due to the breach by the Purchaser of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the failure by the Purchaser to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement;

(b) by either the Company or the Purchaser if a Governmental Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have become final and nonappealable;

(c) by the Company if the Purchaser shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice by the Company to the Purchaser specifying such breach, provided, however, that no such cure period shall be required to be provided to the Purchaser in the event that the Purchaser, in breach of its representation and warranty in Section 5.06, does not have the Financing as of the date that the Closing is otherwise required to take place as provided in Section 2.02;

(d) by the Purchaser if the Company or any Stockholder shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice by the Purchaser to the Company and the Stockholders specifying such breach; or

(e) by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

SECTION 8.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith terminate and have no further force and effect, and there shall be no liability on the part of either party hereto except (i) as set forth in Section 6.06 and Article IX and (ii) that nothing herein shall relieve either party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not subject to any condition that the Purchaser obtain the Financing, or that the Purchaser obtain any consent required as a condition to obtaining the Financing and, accordingly, that the failure by the Purchaser to have the Financing as of the date that the Closing is otherwise required to take place as provided in Section 2.02 shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser.

ARTICLE IX

SECTION 9.04. Public Announcements. Neither party to this Agreement shall issue any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication. Notwithstanding anything stated above, after the initial announcement each party may issue tombstones and similar announcements without the consent of the other party provided such announcement is consistent with the information contained in the initial announcement. Neither party shall trade in any securities of the other party prior to the closing or termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is finally declared to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto. 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 by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 9.06. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the final and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 9.07. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the written consent of the other parties.

SECTION 9.08. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the parties hereto.

SECTION 9.09. Waiver. The Company may waive compliance by the Purchaser with any of the agreements of the Purchaser and the Purchaser may waive compliance by the Company or the Stockholders with any of the agreements of the Company or the Stockholders, but any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

SECTION 9.10. Specific Performance. Any party to this Agreement shall be entitled to seek an injunction to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by any other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. In any such action for equitable relief, no party shall assert as a defense to such action that, or seek to oppose such action on that grounds that, a remedy at law is available or that money damages will be a sufficient remedy.

SECTION 9.11. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including without limitation any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement, including without limitation under Section 6.03; provided, however, that the agreements of the Purchaser set forth in Section 6.04 are intended for the benefit of the Covered Persons, each of whom shall be an express third party beneficiary of such agreement and shall be entitled to enforce such agreements in his or her own name as if he or she were a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of California applicable to contracts executed and performed entirely within the State of California.

SECTION 9.13. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts in the State of California in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any of such courts, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.03. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 9.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE SUCH WAIVER.

SECTION 9.15. Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic or facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement and any other document or agreement executed in connection herewith (other than the stock powers or other instruments of transfer delivered with the Shares) may be executed by delivery of an electronic or a facsimile copy of an executed signature page with the same force and effect as the delivery of an originally executed signature page. In the event any party delivers an electronic or a facsimile copy of a signature page to this Agreement or any other document or agreement executed in connection herewith, such party shall deliver an originally executed signature page within three Business Days of delivering such

electronic or facsimile signature page or at any time thereafter upon request; provided, however, that the failure to deliver any such originally executed signature page shall not affect the validity of the signature page delivered by facsimile, which has and shall continue to have the same force and effect as the originally executed signature page.
