ARTICLE 1

Defined Terms

1.1 Definitions. Certain terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Article 11 or elsewhere herein as indicated in Article 11.

1.2 Accounting Terms. Accounting terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them under GAAP except as may otherwise be specified herein.

ARTICLE 2

Purchase and Sale

2.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing each Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all Liens, and Buyer shall purchase from each Seller, all of such Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to all of the Securities owned by such Seller, as more specifically identified on Schedule 4.2.1 (as to each Seller, respectively, the “Seller’s Respective Securities”).

2.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for all of the Securities (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to:

(a) One Hundred Nineteen Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($119,800,000) (the “Enterprise Value”);

(e) minus an amount equal to the Company Transaction Expenses set forth on the Company Transaction Expenses Statement.

2.3 Certain Definitions.

2.3.1 Working Capital. “Working Capital” of the Acquired Companies is defined on Schedule 2.3.1, and shall be determined in accordance with Schedule 2.3.1 and Section 2.5.1.

2.3.2 Closing Working Capital. “Closing Working Capital” means the Working Capital of the Acquired Companies, determined on a consolidated basis as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, as reflected on the Final Adjustment Statement.

2.3.3 Working Capital Target. “Working Capital Target” means the average of the six (6) different amounts of the working capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis from the consolidated monthly balance sheet for each of the six (6) fiscal months of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to Closing, provided that for each monthly balance sheet the working capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be determined on a consolidated basis as though each such date were the Closing Date utililizing the same formula and method used in determining the Closing Working Capital (i.e., by including and excluding the same assets and liabilities in the calculation thereof and determining such amount in accordance with Schedule 2.3.1 and Section 2.5.1), except that no physical inventory shall be taken with respect to the inventory reflected in such monthly balance sheets.

2.4 Estimated Purchase Price and Manner of Payment.

2.4.1 Estimated Purchase Price. No later than three (3) Business Days before the Closing, Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of all Sellers, and Buyer shall make a good faith estimate of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital, respectively, as of the Closing in accordance with Section 2.5.1 based upon the most recent ascertainable financial information available, and shall execute a certificate setting forth such estimates (the “Closing Certificate”). As used herein, “Estimated Closing Cash,” “Estimated Closing Indebtedness” and “Estimated Closing Working Capital” mean the estimates of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital, respectively, set forth in the Closing Certificate, and “Estimated Purchase Price” means an amount equal to the Purchase Price calculated as set forth in Section 2.2, assuming for purposes of such calculation that the Closing Cash is equal to the Estimated Closing Cash, that the Closing Indebtedness is equal to the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and that the Closing Working Capital is equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital.

2.4.2 Payments to Escrow Agent and Sellers’ Representative. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall (a) pay the Escrowed Funds to the Escrow Agent; (b) pay and deliver the Estimated Purchase Price less the Escrowed Funds (such amount, the “Closing Date Payment”) to Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the allocation set forth on Schedule 2.6) immediately available cash funds by means of a wire transfer to an account or accounts as directed by Sellers’ Representative not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing (the “Sellers’ Representative’s Account”).

2.4.3 Payment of Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies. Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, in full at or immediately following the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness as of the Closing Date of the Acquired Companies. In order to facilitate such repayment, no later than three (3) Business Days before the Closing, Sellers’ Representative shall cause the Acquired Companies to obtain payoff letters for the repayment of such Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies, which payoff letters will be in a commercially reasonable form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Buyer’s lenders and shall indicate that the Acquired Companies’ lenders have agreed to release immediately all applicable Liens relating to the assets and properties of the Acquired Companies, including the redelivery of all stock certificates held pursuant to any such terminated stock pledge agreements (collectively, the “Pay-Off Documents”).

2.4.4 Payment of Company Transaction Expenses. Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, in full at the Closing, the Company Transaction Expenses as set forth on the Company Transaction Expense Statement in accordance with the instructions provided in the Company Transaction Expense Statement. In order to facilitate such payment, no later than three (3) Business Days before the Closing, Sellers’ Representative shall provide Buyer with a true, complete and correct list (the “Company Transaction Expense Statement”) of the amount of the unpaid fees, expenses and other similar amounts arising from the provision of services prior to the Closing that have been or are expected to be incurred on or prior to the Closing Date on behalf of the Acquired Companies or any Seller in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any investment banking, accounting, advisory,

brokers, finders, escrow agent or legal fees or fees paid to any Governmental Authority or other Person (collectively, the “Company Transaction Expenses”), and the name of the Persons to whom such payments are to be made and wiring instructions for the recipients of such payments.

2.5 Post-Closing Adjustment.

2.5.1 Adjustment Statement Preparation. Within sixty days (60) after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its best commercial efforts to cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, (a) a consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the GAAP Financial Statements and in accordance with Schedule 2.3.1 (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (b) a statement based on such balance sheet setting forth the amount of the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital of the Acquired Companies, on a consolidated basis, respectively, as of the Closing (the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”) and, (c) based on the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital reflected on the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, Buyer’s written calculation of the Purchase Price, and the adjustment necessary to reconcile the Estimated Purchase Price to the Purchase Price (“Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment”). In preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the Preliminary Adjustment Statement: (a) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of any of the Acquired Companies of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into by Buyer at any time at or after the Closing Date or any other transactions entered into by any of Sellers, Sellers’ Representative, Buyer, or the Acquired Companies in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be entirely disregarded; (b) it shall be assumed that the Acquired Companies and their respective lines of business shall be continued as a going concern; and (c) there shall not be taken into account any of the plans, transactions or changes that Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made at or after the Closing Date with respect to any of the Acquired Companies or their respective business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any assets or liabilities of Buyer, or any obligation for the payment of the Closing Purchase Price hereunder. Sellers and the Company shall, at Seller’s expense, cause the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to be audited in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the GAAP Financial Statements and shall use their best commercial efforts to provide such 2007 audited balance sheet to Buyer no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date that Buyer is required to deliver the Closing Balance Sheet to the Sellers’ Representative; it being understood that the Buyer’s obligation to deliver to the Sellers’ Representative the Closing Balance Sheet, Preliminary Adjustment Statement and Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date shall be extended to the date that is fifteen (15) days after such 2007 audited balance sheet is provided to Buyer.

2.5.2 Adjustment Statement Review. Sellers’ Representative shall review the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment and, if Sellers’ Representative reasonably believes that any of them was not prepared in accordance with this Agreement, Sellers’ Representative shall so notify Buyer in writing no later than thirty (30) days after Sellers’ Representative’s receipt thereof, setting forth in such notice Sellers’ Representative’s objection or objections to the Closing Balance Sheet, Preliminary Adjustment Statement or the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment with particularity

and the specific changes or adjustments that Sellers’ Representative claims are required to be made thereto in order to conform the same to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer and Sellers shall each make readily available to the other all of their relevant work papers and books and records relating to the Acquired Companies, the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment as are requested by Buyer or Sellers and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in resolving any disputed matters. Any notice of objection delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5.2 shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted.

2.5.3 Adjustment Statement Dispute Resolution. If Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer of an objection to the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement or the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.5.2, and if Buyer and Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve such dispute through good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days after Sellers’ Representative’s delivery of such written notice of objection, then, the parties shall mutually engage and submit such dispute to, and the same shall be finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by the Cleveland office of Deloitte & Touche USA LLP (the “Independent Accountants”). The Independent Accountants shall determine and report in writing to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative as to the resolution of all disputed matters submitted to the Independent Accountants and the effect of such determinations on the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment within thirty (30) days after such submission or such longer period as the Independent Accountants may reasonably require. Such determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive as to Buyer, Sellers, Sellers’ Representative and their respective Affiliates. Buyer and Sellers shall each make readily available to the Independent Accountants all relevant work papers and books and records relating to the Acquired Companies, the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment as are requested by the Independent Accountants and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Independent Accountants in resolving any disputed matters. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be allocated between the Sellers and the Buyer so that the Sellers’ share of such fees and expenses shall be equal to the product of (A) and (B), where (A) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses and where (B) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers (as determined by the Independent Accountants) and the denominator of which is the total amount of such disputed items so submitted.

2.5.4 Final Adjustment Statement and Post-Closing Adjustment. The Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment shall become the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”, the “Final Adjustment Statement” and the “Final Post-Closing Adjustment,” respectively, and as such shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer, Sellers, Sellers’ Representative and their respective Affiliates for all purposes of this Agreement, upon the earliest to occur of the following:

(a) the mutual acceptance by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment, respectively, with such changes or adjustments thereto, if any, as may be proposed by Sellers’ Representative and consented to by Buyer;

(b) the expiration of thirty (30) days after Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment, respectively, without timely written objection thereto by Sellers’ Representative in accordance with Section 2.5.2; or

(c) the delivery to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative by the Independent Accountants of the report of their determination of all disputed matters submitted to them pursuant to Section 2.5.3 together with revisions of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment.

2.5.5 Adjustment of Closing Purchase Price. If the Purchase Price minus the Estimated Purchase Price is a positive number, then (a) Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds to Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule 2.6) and (b) Buyer shall pay the amount of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment to Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the allocation set forth on Schedule 2.6). If the Purchase Price minus the Estimated Purchase Price is a negative number, then (a) if the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds exceed the amount of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment plus the Interest Amount, then Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent (i) to pay such excess to Sellers’ Representative and (ii) to pay the remainder of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds to Buyer, and (b) if the amount of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment plus the Interest Amount exceeds the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds, then Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds to Buyer, and Sellers, shall be ratably liable in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule 2.6 to pay, and hereby agree to pay when due, the amount of such excess to Buyer. Payments to Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.5.5 shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Sellers’ Representative’s Account (for further distribution to the Sellers), and payments to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.5.5 shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.5.5 shall be made no later than seven (7) Business Days after the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the Preliminary Post-Closing Adjustment become the Final Adjustment Statement and the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, respectively, pursuant to Section 2.5.4. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.5.5 shall be made together with an amount equal to the equivalent of interest thereon (the “Interest Amount”) at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum for the period from the Closing Date to the date of the payment calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. For Tax purposes, any payment by Buyer or Sellers under this Agreement, including pursuant to Article 10, shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

2.6 Allocation to Sellers of the Purchase Price. The payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price (including any additional amount required pursuant to Section 2.5.5) into the Sellers’ Representative’s Account shall constitute payment by Buyer to each Seller and satisfaction of Buyer’s obligation to pay such amount hereunder and Buyer shall have no further liability with respect thereto. After such payment by Buyer, Sellers’ Representative shall be solely responsible for allocating and distributing to each Seller such Sellers’ share of the Purchase Price from the Sellers’ Representative’s Account. The Purchase Price and any

collective obligations of Sellers, including payment of transaction fees and expenses, shall be allocated among Sellers in accordance with Schedule 2.6. The portion of the Purchase Price allocated to each Seller (net of obligations and any reserves or holdbacks established pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, or by Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion) shall be paid and distributed to such Seller by Sellers’ Representative prior to, on, or after the Closing. At the Closing, Sellers agree that Sellers’ Representative may withhold from the proceeds otherwise distributable to each Seller hereunder, and pay, such Sellers’ pro-rata portion of any fees or expenses incurred by or on behalf of Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Section 2.6 is intended or shall be construed to confer on any Seller any rights against Buyer in respect of the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Seller or the net proceeds received after delivery of same into the Sellers’ Representative’s Account.

2.7 Escrow. At the Closing, Buyer, Sellers’ Representative and JPMorgan Trust Company, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) shall enter into an escrow agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Ten Million Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,225,000.00) of the Estimated Purchase Price (the “Escrowed Funds”) shall be deposited into escrow for the purpose of securing (a) the purchase price adjustment obligations of Sellers under Section 2.5 of this Agreement, and (b) the indemnification obligations of the Sellers under Article 10 of this Agreement. The Escrowed Funds shall be divided into two separate subaccounts as follows: (a) the sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) shall constitute the subaccount maintained to secure the purchase price adjustment obligations of the Sellers (the “Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds”); and (b) the sum of Seven Million Seven Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($7,725,000.00) shall constitute the subaccount maintained to secure the indemnification obligations of the Sellers (the “Indemnity Escrow Funds”).

8.2.3 Employee Matters.

(a) Each Person who is as of the Closing Date an employee of the Acquired Companies shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Acquired Companies before the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the employee benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates, if any, in which such employee participates after the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) and for purposes of any applicable vacation, paid time off or severance policy, except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or was not recognized under the applicable Benefit Plan of the Acquired Company (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”). In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any such employee, Buyer shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents except to the extent any such Person has not satisfied any corresponding exclusions or requirements under the applicable Old Plan.

deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan. Nothing contained herein shall entitle any Person who is, as of the Closing Date, an employee of the Acquired Companies to participate in the New Plans.

(b) Sellers and Buyer shall, and Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any filing, audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, including any Tax Claim.

Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(c) The amount or economic benefit of any refunds of Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Sellers, and Buyer agrees to provide prompt notice of any such event to Seller’s Representative. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds of Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date (including any refund of Taxes relating to the carry back of net operating loss from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period) shall be for the account of Buyer. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds of Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Sellers and Buyer in the manner described in Section 10.6. Any such amounts owing to Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, as provided in this Section 8.2.4(c) shall be paid by Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any such refunds.

Such notice (to the extent known) shall state in reasonable detail the amount or estimated amount of such Claim, and shall identify the specific basis (or bases) for such Claim, including the representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement alleged to have been breached. Failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnitee shall deliver to the indemnitor, without undue delay, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers received by the indemnitee) relating to the Third-Party Claim so long as any such disclosure could not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the attorney-client or any other privilege that may be available to the indemnitee in connection therewith. If a Third-Party Claim is made against an indemnitee, the indemnitor shall be entitled to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnitor, provided, that the indemnitor shall acknowledge in writing and without qualification its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of such Claim. If the indemnitor assumes such defense, the indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnitor, it being understood that the indemnitor shall control such defense. If the indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any Third Party Claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the indemnitee may defend

against such Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and may settle such Claim or litigation on such terms as it may deem appropriate. In the event the indemnitee is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the indemnitor shall cooperate with the indemnitee in such defense and make available to the indemnitee, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the indemnitor’s possession or under the indemnitor’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the indemnitee. If the indemnitor so assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, all of the indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnitor in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include, at the expense of the indemnitor, the retention and (upon the indemnitor’s request) the provision to the indemnitor of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the indemnitee, enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge or consent to the entry of any judgment which imposes any equitable remedies or material obligations or restrictions upon the indemnitee and which does not include an unconditional written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

10.5 Limitation of Remedies.

10.6 Tax Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, except for Taxes accrued or reserved for and specifically identified as such in the Final Closing Balance Sheet and which can be determined to be accrued or reserved with respect to the item for which indemnification is sought hereunder and taken into account in the Final Adjustment Statement and in the determination of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, the Sellers shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against (collectively, “Seller Taxes”) (i) all liability for Taxes of the Acquired Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, (ii) any and all damages arising out of, resulting from or incident to any breach by the Sellers of any covenant contained in Section 8.2.4, (iii) any increase in Tax liability for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Tax Period imposed on the Acquired Companies due to the application of Code Section 280G to any payments made by an Acquired Company, and (iv) all liability (as a result of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) or a comparable state or local Tax provision) for Taxes of any Person which is or has been an Affiliate of the Acquired Companies during a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that the Sellers shall not be liable for or pay and shall not indemnify, defend, save or hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees for any Taxes (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”) imposed on the Acquired Companies as a result of the transactions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date that are properly allocable (based on, among other relevant factors, factors set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)) to periods after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, all items paid by the Company on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Company during the final Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Sellers from and against (i) all liability for Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any Post-Closing Tax Period and (ii) any and all damages arising out of, resulting from or incident to the breach by Buyer of any covenant contained in Section 8.2.4.

(i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes and any other Taxes levied on a per diem basis (“Per Diem Taxes”) of the Acquired Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Per Diem Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; and

(ii) the Taxes of the Acquired Companies (other than Per Diem Taxes) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such Tax Period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(d) Sellers’ indemnity obligations in respect of Seller Taxes, as determined pursuant to Section 10.6(a), shall initially be effected by Sellers’ payment to Buyer of the excess of (i) any such Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (as may be evidenced by any Tax Return prepared by Buyer in accordance with Section 8.2.4 or as otherwise indicated in a written notice prepared by Buyer that is satisfactory to the Seller Representative) over (ii) the sum of (A) the amount of such Taxes with respect to the Acquired Companies paid by Sellers at any time, and (B) the amount of such Taxes paid by the Acquired Companies on or prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall pay such excess to Buyer within twenty (20) days after written demand thereof is made by Buyer (but not earlier than five (5) days before the date on which the Taxes for the relevant Tax Period are required to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority). If the sum of (i) the amount of any Seller Taxes paid by Sellers at any time and (ii) the amount of Seller Taxes paid by the Acquired Companies on or prior to the Closing Date exceeds the amount of Seller Taxes, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the amount of such excess within twenty (20) days after the Tax Return with respect to the final liability for such Taxes is required to be filed with the relevant Taxing Authority. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(e), payment of the Tax to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the appropriate Taxing Authority or court.

(e) If a Claim shall be made by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment with respect to Tax Claims to an indemnitee pursuant to this Article 10, the indemnitee shall promptly and in any event no more than twenty (20) days following the indemnitee’s receipt of such Claim, give written notice to the indemnitor of such Claim (a “Tax Proceeding”); provided, however, the failure of the indemnitee to give such notices shall only relieve the indemnitor from its indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any Tax Proceeding relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Sellers shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Proceeding (including selection of counsel) at its own expense; provided, however, that if the resolution of any portion of a Tax Proceeding would increase the

Taxes of the Acquired Companies for a Post-Closing Tax Period by more than $50,000, Sellers shall give written notice to the Buyer, which shall be entitled to jointly control only the proceedings taken solely in connection with such portion of such Tax Proceeding. Sellers and Buyer shall jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Proceeding relating solely to Taxes of the Acquired Companies for a Straddle Period or any Tax Proceeding involving both a Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period. Buyer shall control at its own expense all proceedings with respect to any Tax Proceeding relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period, unless the Tax Proceeding involves both a Pre-Closing Tax Period and a Post-Closing Tax Period, in which case Sellers and Buyer shall jointly control such Tax Proceeding. A party shall promptly notify the other party if it decides not to control the defense or settlement of any Tax Proceeding which it is entitled to control pursuant to this Agreement, and the other party shall thereupon be permitted to defend and settle such proceeding without prejudice. No Tax Proceeding in which Sellers and the Buyer are entitled to jointly control all proceedings may be settled without the written consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer, Sellers, the Acquired Companies and each of their respective Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with each other in contesting any Tax Proceeding in accordance with Section 8.2.4.

(f) The parties shall satisfy their indemnity obligations pursuant to this Section 10.6 within ten (10) days after a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code) of the relevant Tax is made.

10.7 Release of Escrow Funds.

(a) The indemnification obligations of the Sellers pursuant to Article 10, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.2 to the extent applicable, will be first satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Funds until such funds have been exhausted or the Claims for indemnification shall exceed the then-current balance in the Indemnity Escrow Funds, and thereafter directly by the Sellers pursuant to Article 10; provided, that (i) the Claims for indemnification for breaches by a Seller of a Non-Compete Agreement will not be subject to this Section 10.7, and (ii) with respect to Claims for Indemnification pursuant to the Seller Covenant, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be required to first satisfy such Claims from the Indemnity Escrow Funds before directly pursuing the applicable Seller with respect to the indemnity obligations set forth in the Seller Covenant.

(b) On the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the ”Initial Release Date”), the Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement to pay the Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to Sellers) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Sellers’ Representative, an amount equal to the amount by which the Indemnity Escrowed Funds then held exceeds the sum of (i) Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) and (ii) the aggregate amount of Claims made by Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Article 10 that remain pending on the Initial Release Date. With respect to any pending Claims referred to in the preceding sentence, promptly following resolution of any such Claims, the amount, if any, of such Claims which have not been paid to a Buyer Indemnitee in connection with such resolution, and which would have been paid to the Sellers’ Representative if such Claims had been resolved prior to the Initial Release Date, will be paid to the Sellers’ Representative by wire transfer of

immediately available funds to an account specified by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to joint instructions signed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

(c) On the date that is three years and thirty days after the filing of the last income Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Extended Release Date”), the Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement to pay the Sellers’ Representative (for further distribution to the Sellers) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Sellers’ Representative, an amount equal to (i) the Indemnity Escrowed Funds then held minus (ii) the aggregate amount of Claims made by Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Article 10 that remain pending on the Extended Release Date. With respect to any pending Claims referred to in the preceding sentence, promptly following resolution of any such Claims, the amount, if any, of such Claims which have not been paid to a Buyer Indemnitee in connection with such resolution, and which would have been paid to the Sellers’ Representative if such Claims had been resolved prior to the Extended Release Date, will be paid to the Sellers’ Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to joint instructions signed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

(d) All payments received by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall be distributed to the Sellers in accordance with Schedule 2.6.

12.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the schedules (including the Disclosure Schedule) and exhibits hereto and the agreements, instruments, certificates and documents executed pursuant to this Agreement constitute the exclusive statement of the agreement among Buyer and each Seller concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other prior agreements, oral or written, among or between any of the parties hereto concerning such subject matter. All negotiations among or between any of the parties hereto are superseded by this Agreement and the agreements, instruments, certificates and documents executed pursuant to this Agreement, and there are no representations, warranties, promises, understandings or agreements, oral or written, in relation to the subject matter hereof among or between any of the parties hereto other than those expressly set forth or expressly incorporated herein.

12.3 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative and, prior to the Closing, the Company. In addition, any failure of a Person to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein may be waived only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound by such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other failure.

12.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN

ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 12.4 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

12.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of such provision (or any portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

12.6 Headings. The article and section headings used in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of reference, do not themselves form a part of this Agreement, and may not be given effect in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

12.7 Counterparts, Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or other copy of a signature, including execution and delivery of the Agreement by electronic exchange bearing the copies of a party’s signature, shall be deemed an original for purposes of this Agreement.

12.8 Third Parties. Except as may otherwise be expressly stated herein, no provision of this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer on any Person, other than the parties hereto, any rights hereunder. Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees who are not otherwise parties to this Agreement shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

12.9 Schedules and Exhibits. The schedules and exhibits (including the Disclosure Schedule) referenced in this Agreement constitute an integral part of this Agreement as if fully rewritten herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the Schedules, any information disclosed in one Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed in such other Schedules and applicable to such other representations and warranties to the extent that the disclosure is clearly applicable on the face of such item to such other Schedule and such other representations and warranties. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract or Law will be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

12.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice-of-laws or conflicts-of-laws provisions thereof.

12.11 Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other party will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any action instituted in any court having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 12.10 above), in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

12.12 Sellers’ Representative. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of such Seller with full authority and power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller, its successors and assigns as Sellers’ Representative with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Sellers’ Representative is hereby authorized by each Seller to execute any and all instruments or other documents on behalf of such Seller, and to do any and all other acts or things on behalf of such Seller, which Sellers’ Representative may deem necessary or advisable, or which may be required pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of all obligations hereunder before, at and following the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers’ Representative shall have the full and exclusive authority to (a) agree with Buyer with respect to any matter or thing required or deemed necessary by Sellers’ Representative in connection with the provisions of this Agreement calling for the agreement of Sellers, give and receive notices on behalf of all Sellers, and act on behalf of Sellers in connection with any matter as to which Sellers are or may be obligated under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, all in the absolute discretion of Sellers’ Representative, (b) in general, do all things and perform all acts, including executing and delivering all agreements, certificates, receipts, consents, elections, instructions, and other instruments or documents contemplated by, or deemed by Sellers’ Representative to be necessary or advisable in connection with, this Agreement, (c) to make all decisions relating to the determination of any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, (d) to execute and deliver all amendments and waivers to this Agreement that the Sellers’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate, whether prior to, at or after the Closing, which amendments and waivers will be binding on the Sellers, (e) take all actions necessary or desirable in connection with the defense or settlement of any indemnification Claims pursuant to Article 10 and performance of obligations under Article 2, including to withhold funds for satisfaction of expenses or other liabilities or obligations or to withhold funds for potential indemnification Claims made hereunder, and (f) retain and employ counsel, accountants, consultants and other professional advisors with reference to the performance of the duties assigned with the cost thereof allocated prorata among Sellers in accordance with the percentages set forth in Schedule 2.6. Sellers shall cooperate with Sellers’ Representative and any accountants, attorneys or other agents whom it may retain to assist in carrying out its duties hereunder. All decisions by Sellers’ Representative shall be binding upon all Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Sellers’ Representative may communicate with any Seller or any other Person concerning his responsibilities hereunder, but it is not required to do so. Sellers’ Representative has a duty to serve in good faith the interests of Sellers and to perform its designated role under this Agreement, but Sellers’ Representative shall have no financial liability whatsoever to any Person relating to its service hereunder (including any action taken or omitted to be taken), except that it shall be liable for harm which it directly causes by an act of willful misconduct. Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers’

Representative against any loss, expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or other liability arising out of its service as Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement, other than for harm directly caused by an act of willful misconduct. Sellers’ Representative may resign at any time by notifying Buyer and Sellers in writing. Buyer shall be entitled conclusively and absolutely to rely, without inquiry, upon any action of Sellers’ Representative as the action of each Seller in all matters referred to in this Section 12.12. In the event of the Incapacity, death or resignation of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx shall serve as the successor Sellers’ Representative possessing all powers and authorities granted to Sellers’ Representative hereunder and elsewhere. In the event of the Incapacity, death or resignation of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx shall serve as the successor Sellers’ Representative possessing all powers and authorities granted to Sellers’ Representative hereunder and elsewhere. The successor Sellers’ Representative is relieved of any responsibility to inquire as to the actions or inactions of the prior Sellers’ Representative. The successor Sellers’ Representative is entitled to rely on the accounts of his predecessor or predecessors, as applicable.

12.13 Release by the Sellers. At the effective time of Closing, each Seller (each a “Releasor”), on behalf of such Seller and such Seller’s respective beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns irrevocably, absolutely and fully releases, remises, relieves, relinquishes, waives and forever discharges the Acquired Companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, Affiliates, direct and indirect equity holders, lenders, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all Claims, counterclaims, damages, losses, payments, obligations, debts, accountings, Liens, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any kind or nature, fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, several or otherwise, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, xxxxxx or inchoate, claimed or unclaimed, in law or in equity, whether arising from, in or out of tort, statute (whether state, federal or local) or Contract or any other common law, administrative or similar cause of action, right or remedy (collectively, the “Released Claims”), that such Releasor may have against any of the Released Parties from the beginning of time until the effective time of Closing, other than rights under this Agreement and any ancillary agreements. Such Releasor, on behalf of such Releasor’s respective heirs, successors and assigns, specifically waives the benefits of any statutory or common law of any state, which in effect provides that a general release does not extend to Released Claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor. It is expressly understood and agreed that the releases contained in this Section 12.13 are intended to cover and do cover all known facts and/or Released Claims, as well as any further facts and/or Released Claims within the scope of such Released Claims not known or anticipated, but which may later develop or be discovered, including all the effects and consequences thereof. Such Releasor, on behalf of such Releasor’s respective successors and assigns, acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which they now believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims released in this Agreement, but agree that they have taken that possibility into account in reaching this Agreement, and that the releases given in this Agreement will be and remain in

effect notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts, as to which such Releasor expressly assumes the risk.

12.14 Fees and Expenses. Regardless of whether the transactions provided for in this Agreement are consummated, except as otherwise provided herein, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. Buyer understands and acknowledges that certain out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Acquired Companies up to the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including Company Transaction Expenses) may be paid by the Acquired Companies at or prior to the Closing. To the extent that any such fees or expenses (including Company Transaction Expenses) are not paid in full and discharged at or prior to the Closing, each Seller shall (in accordance with the allocations set forth in Schedule 2.6) be responsible for, and hereby agrees to pay when due, such fees and expenses (in accordance with the allocations set forth in Schedule 2.6), and each Seller acknowledges that the Acquired Companies shall not be obligated to pay such fees or expenses following the Closing. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid, or caused to be paid, by Sellers when due. In any Claim to enforce the terms of this Agreement or arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the fees and costs incurred in such Claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

12.15 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no assignment of all or any part of this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder may be made by any party hereto without the prior written consent of all other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, however, that (a) Buyer may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement (a) to any Affiliate of Buyer or to any subsequent purchaser of Buyer or substantially all of the assets of Buyer (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, a sale of assets, a merger or otherwise), provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder; and (b) Buyer may assign its rights, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to any of its financing sources.

12.16 Publicity. Any disclosure, press releases or public announcements relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be made only as may be agreed upon in writing by Seller and Buyer, or as may be required by Law or by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body (including Nasdaq) or as may be required to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, including contacting third Persons for their requisite consents, in which case Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to review such disclosure, press releases or announcements prior to its issuance, distribution or publication.

12.17 Acquired Companies Business Unit. Following the Closing, it is the current intention of Buyer to merge the Subsidiaries with and into the Company. Following such mergers, it is the Buyer’s current intention that (a) each of the businesses operated by the Subsidiaries will be operated as branches of the Company and that the management structure currently utilized by the Acquired Companies will be maintained within the Company’s

organization in order to encourage the continuation of the existing working relationships of the Acquired Companies and (b) Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx will be appointed to the Beacon Executive Committee that meets regularly with the Chief Executive Officer of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. regarding the management and affairs of the Buyer and its Affiliates.
