Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., Central time, no later than three (3) Business Days after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE VI have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), at the offices of Sirote & Permutt, PC, 2311 Highland Avenue South, Birmingham, Alabama 35205 (or remotely by electronic mail or facsimile exchange of documents and signatures), or at such other time or on such other date or at such other place as the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer may mutually agree upon in writing (the time and day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”). The parties intend that the Closing shall be deemed to be

effective for accounting, tax and working capital purposes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.

(i) At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing, the Sellers shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer a statement setting forth a good faith estimate of Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) as of the Closing Date and a calculation of Estimated Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement”) prepared in accordance with GAAP as used in the preparation of the Sample Working Capital Statement, as modified by the Agreed Accounting Principles, and in a format substantially similar to the Sample Working Capital Statement.

(ii) The “Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital minus $18,422,000 (the “Target Working Capital”). If the Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Share Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of the Closing Adjustment. If the Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Share Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, which statement shall contain an internally-prepared balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) as of the Closing Date and a calculation of Closing Net Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital Statement”) prepared in accordance with GAAP as used in the preparation of the Sample Working Capital Statement, as modified by the Agreed Accounting Principles, and in a format substantially similar to the Sample Working Capital Statement.

(ii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Net Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) an aggregate amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, then Buyer shall be entitled to receive such amount from the Working Capital Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. To the extent the amount owed to Buyer exceeds the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the Sellers’ Representative shall pay to Buyer (on behalf of the Sellers) the amount of such excess.

(iii) The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer hereby agree that, following the final determination that any Post-Closing Adjustment is due and payable pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii) to Buyer, on the one hand, or the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand, in either case, the parties shall each cooperate with each other and shall use their best efforts to take such action as is necessary to promptly provide to the Escrow Agent such written direction as is necessary under the terms of the Escrow Agreement to (A) release such portion of the Working Capital Escrowed Amount as is necessary to satisfy the obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii), and (B) following such satisfaction of the obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii), to release

the balance of the Working Capital Escrowed Amount, if any, to the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Sellers) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Net Working Capital Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Net Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ accountants shall have access to the books and records of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Net Working Capital Statement as the Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative may object to the Closing Net Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Sellers’ Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Sellers’ Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers’ Representative for and on behalf of the Sellers. If the Sellers’ Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, shall be final and binding on all parties hereto.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”, and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of McGladrey LLP or, if McGladrey LLP is unable to serve, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than the Sellers’ Representative’s accountants or Buyer’s accountants (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. The Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants and Buyer shall pay the remaining one-half of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Net Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Net Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as shall be directed by Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be.

(d) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Share Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(a) During the period commencing at the Closing and ending on December 31, 2014 (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), Buyer shall and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide each Employee who remains employed immediately after the Closing (“Company Continuing Employee”) with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing; and (ii) welfare benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing; provided that if the employment of a Company Continuing Employee is terminated following the Closing and on or prior to the date which is six (6) months from the Closing in a manner that would entitle the Continuing Employee to receive severance payments or benefits pursuant to Buyer’s current employee severance guidelines set forth in Section 5.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Severance Guidelines”), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, provide severance payments or benefits, as applicable, to such terminated Company Continuing Employee in accordance with the Severance Guidelines.

(b) The Company and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that Buyer sponsors a Qualified Benefit Plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”). The only period of employment or service required under the Buyer 401(k) Plan is for purposes of becoming eligible to participate in the Buyer 401(k) Plan and that period of employment or service must be with Buyer or a member of its controlled group subsequent to the Closing. Service with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company prior to Closing will not satisfy such requirement.

(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan which is not a Qualified Benefit Plan maintained by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, recognize all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Buyer Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Benefit Plan.

(d) This Section 5.4 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.4, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.4. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.4 shall not create any right in any Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

(e) Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company or Buyer’s or the Company’s Subsidiaries, as applicable, to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations with respect to health benefits otherwise applicable to Company Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under any plan of Buyer or

any Subsidiary of Buyer that provides health benefits in which Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate following the Closing, other than any limitations that were in effect with respect to such employees as of the Closing Date under the analogous Benefit Plan, (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Company Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under the health Benefit Plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Closing Date during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health benefit plans of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in which they are eligible to participate 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 Company Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Closing Date, in each case to the extent such Company Continuing Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer may require evidence of insurability for all optional life insurance.

(f) From the date hereof until the Closing, Buyer shall not communicate with any Company Continuing Employees, including, without limitation, communications related to compensation, benefits or other treatment that they will receive in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, unless any such communications have been reviewed and approved by Sellers’ Representative.

(g) No provision of this Section 5.4 shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (ii) constitute or create or be deemed to constitute or create an employment Contract, (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (iv) limit the ability of Buyer or any of the Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Company Continuing Employee following the Closing.

(h) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to amend each 401(k) Plan of the Company to (i) permit participants who are Company Continuing Employees to roll over their entire account balance including an outstanding loan balance in kind to the Buyer 401(k) Plan once the Company has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the termination of the 401(k) Plan of the Company; (ii) permit participants who terminate their employment with the Company and the Buyer and who are not in default on a loan to roll over their outstanding loan balance to a plan of an employer unrelated to Buyer; (iii) provide that the only forms of payment will be a single sum either paid directly to the participant or as a rollover and override and eliminate language regarding irrevocable commitments from an insurance company in the Plan’s termination provisions; (iv) provide that anyone who does not elect a single sum payment either to the participant or as a rollover will get an automatic rollover to an IRA; and (v) provide that there will be no new loans made to participants (however current loans can continue to be repaid in accordance with the terms of the respective loans).

(i) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate each Employee Pension Benefit Plan of the Company, including any 401(k) Plan of the Company. The effective date of the termination of each such Employee Pension Benefit Plan shall be no later than the day prior to the Closing Date, with employer and employee contributions being discontinued at least one day prior to the effective date of such termination, and shall be evidenced by delivery to Buyer of

the resolutions and other documents contemplated by Section 2.3(d)(x). Sellers shall cause the Company to take action to cease all employer and employee contributions to each Employee Pension Benefit Plan, including any 401(k) Plan of the Company, for all periods on and after the termination of such Employee Pension Benefit Plan. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Company, at the Sellers’ expense, will prepare and file with the IRS an Application for Determination for Terminating Plan on Form 5310, and, if necessary in the reasonable opinion of Buyer’s counsel, a submission to the IRS under the Voluntary Correction Program with Service Approval portion of the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System with respect to any Qualified Benefit Plan of the Company, and prepare and file all other information required to be submitted in connection therewith, in accordance with applicable IRS requirements, including requirements concerning Notices to Interested Parties. The Company will provide the Sellers with a reasonable opportunity to review the filings before making such filings. The Company will cause proper administration of such Qualified Benefit Plan or Plans, as the case may be, to continue during the pendency of the IRS determination request, and will take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to obtain a favorable determination letter from the IRS. Upon receipt of a favorable determination letter, the Company will oversee termination distributions from such Qualified Benefit Plan or Plans, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of such Qualified Benefit Plan or Plans, as the case may be. Sellers will provide such cooperation and assistance to Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request with respect to foregoing matters. The Company will perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4(i) at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense.

(a) Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company and its Subsidiaries now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Section 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries may, and Buyer may cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, amend or modify the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents to the extent required by Law or in any other manner that does not affect any right to or ability to seek advancement of defense costs, or the application of the exculpatory or indemnification provisions contained therein to the acts or omissions of any such individuals prior to the Closing.

(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to (i) maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, if available, the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date (provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries may substitute therefor policies, of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries when compared to the insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof), or (ii) obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(c) The parties hereto expressly agreed that the directors and officers to whom this Section 5.5 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.5, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6. Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.

(a) Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all Consents from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the performance of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other parties and their respective Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such Consents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.7(a) shall require any party to incur any obligation or expense that is not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any Transaction Document. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required Consents. If required by the HSR Act and if the appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act has not been filed prior to the date hereof, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Buyer’s undertaking pursuant to this Section 5.7, Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible, including reasonable best efforts to contest the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to commence or defend any legal proceeding or to divest, dispose of or hold separate any assets to secure clearance or approval under the applicable antitrust Laws.

(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 Buyer, any Seller or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, or any disclosure which is not permitted by Law) 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. Each party shall give written notice

to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such written notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

(d) The Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all Consents from, all third parties that are described in Section 3.5 and Section 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedules; provided, however, that (i) none of Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom Consent is requested and (ii) nothing in this Section 5.7 shall be deemed to affect or in any limit the rights of Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2(g).

(a) Subject to Section 5.6 and Section 5.12(d), in order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Documents following the Closing, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Buyer shall:

(i) retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of the Sellers reasonable access (including the right to make, at the Sellers’ collective expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

(b) Buyer shall not be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 5.8 where such access would violate any Law.

Section 5.9. Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI hereof.

Section 5.10. Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), (a) no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (b) the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

Section 5.11. Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(a) The Sellers shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Buyer (and, following the Closing, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries) from any Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) all Taxes arising from the joint Section 338(h)(10) Election; (iii) all Taxes under Code §1374 for the Pre-Closing Tax Period; (iv) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor or current or former Affiliate of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law), (v) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and each of its Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company and each of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing, (vi) all Taxes related to the Owned Real Property and (vii) any and all Straddle Tax Period Taxes allocable to Company and each of its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(b) In the case of any Straddle Tax Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined (i) in accordance with the joint Section 338(h)(10) Election, or (ii) based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Tax Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Tax Period.

(c) The Sellers will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, any Tax Returns of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including Straddle Tax Periods, ending on the Closing Date. Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, any Tax Returns of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for other Straddle Tax Periods. With respect to Tax Returns to be prepared by the Sellers or the Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.12(c), (i) except as required by applicable Law, such Tax Returns will be filed in a manner consistent with past practice and no position will be taken, election made or method adopted inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in prior periods in filing such Tax Returns, (ii) the party preparing such a Tax Return will provide a copy of such Tax Return at least thirty (30) days before it is due, taking into consideration extensions of time to file, to the other party for review and approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (iii) for each Tax Return, each party will remit payment to the filing party the appropriate share of Taxes owed (if any) by the remitting party no later than five (5) days prior to the due date of filing each such Tax Return.

(d) Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 5.12 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes relating to a period of time prior to the Closing Date. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis, at a reasonable cost to requesting party, to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company agrees to (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until

the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, and (ii) give the other party reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(e) Buyer, the Company (on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries) and the Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental 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 hereby).

(f) Buyer and the Sellers agree, upon request, to promptly provide the other party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043 or 6043A, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) All 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 the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any, shall be borne by the Sellers.

(i) Neither any Seller nor the Company (whether on behalf of itself and or any Q-Sub) will take any action that would cause the Company or any Q-Sub to no longer be treated as an S corporation, or as a Q-Sub, for federal, state and local Tax purposes.

Section 5.13. 338(h)(10) Election. The Sellers shall join with Buyer in making an election under Code §338(h)(10) (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Tax Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). In furtherance of the preceding sentence, the Sellers shall execute and deliver to Buyer such documents or forms as Buyer shall reasonably request or as are required by applicable Law to effect the Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable Law, and shall take no position inconsistent with treating the purchase by Buyer of the Shares as a transaction to which Section 338(h)(10) applies. The consideration paid for the Shares hereunder and the liabilities (to the extent included in amount realized for federal Income Tax purposes) of the Company shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in accordance with their fair market values determined using the methodology set forth in Section 5.13 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Allocation Schedule”) and Code §338. Buyer, the Sellers and each of their Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such Allocation Schedule, and none of the parties will voluntarily take any position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule in any inquiry, assessment, proceeding or other similar event relating to Taxes.

Section 5.14. Refunds and Other Transaction Tax Deduction Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and any amounts credited

against Tax to which Buyer or the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries becomes entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and are attributable to Transaction Tax Deductions shall be for the account of the Sellers, and Buyer shall pay over to the Sellers any such refund or the amounts of any such credit within ten (10) days after receipt thereof or entitlement thereto. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, prepare and file all Tax Returns in a manner that maximizes the Tax benefits available as a result of the Transaction Tax Deductions.

Section 5.15. Vikon. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall sell or distribute its interest in Vikon to one or more of the Sellers pursuant to appropriate legal documents with respect thereto that shall include terms and conditions that are reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

(a) During the Primary Restricted Term, none of the Sellers set forth on Section 5.16(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (each, a “Primary Restricted Seller”), shall, and each such Primary Restricted Seller shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, (i) engage, directly or indirectly (whether as equityholder, partner, joint venturer, financing source or consultant in any capacity whatsoever), anywhere in the United States, Canada or Mexico, or in any United States territory or military base outside the United States, in the Business, (ii) have any direct or indirect financial or other interest in any corporation, firm, business or entity engaged in the Business or (iii) solicit, directly or indirectly, any customer or supplier or any prospective customer or supplier within a one hundred (100)-mile radius of any and all customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to or on behalf of any business or entity engaged in the Business; provided, however, this Section 5.16(a) shall not prohibit any Primary Restricted Seller from owning a passive interest of less than five percent (5%) of a publicly traded company that competes with Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Business.

(b) During the Secondary Restricted Term, none of the Sellers set forth on Section 5.16(b) of the Disclosure Schedules (each, a “Secondary Restricted Seller”), shall, and each such Secondary Restricted Seller shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, (i) engage, directly or indirectly (whether as equityholder, partner, joint venturer, financing source or consultant in any capacity whatsoever), anywhere in the United States, Canada or Mexico, or in any United States territory or military base outside the United States, in the Business, (ii) have any direct or indirect financial or other interest in any corporation, firm, business or entity engaged in the Business or (iii) solicit, directly or indirectly, any customer or supplier or any prospective customer or supplier within a one hundred (100)-mile radius of any and all customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to or on behalf of any business or entity engaged in the Business; provided, however, this Section 5.16(b) shall not prohibit any Secondary Restricted Seller from owning a passive interest of less than five percent (5%) of a publicly traded company that competes with Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Business.

(c) During the Primary Restricted Term, none of the Primary Restricted Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, or the Representatives of any of the foregoing, shall on its or their own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any employee employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(d) During the Secondary Restricted Term, none of the Secondary Restricted Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, or the Representatives of any of the foregoing, shall on its or their own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or hire any employee employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(e) If any Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 5.16(a), Section 5.16(b), Section 5.16(c) or Section 5.16(d), as applicable (the “Restrictive Covenants”), Buyer shall have the right and remedy to seek to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to Buyer and its Affiliates and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer and its Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 5.16 shall be construed to limit the right of Buyer to collect money damages in the event of a breach of the Restrictive Covenants. In addition to the remedies Buyer may seek and obtain pursuant to this Section 5.16, the Term shall be extended by and all periods during which any Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of any of the Restrictive Covenants.

(f) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.16(e), (i) the “Primary Restricted Term” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the five (5)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the “Secondary Restricted Term” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the three (3)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, unless, in the case of either the Primary Restricted Term or the Secondary Restricted Term, a court of competent jurisdiction shall find that such period is not permissible with respect to a jurisdiction, in which case, this Section 5.16 shall terminate, with respect to such jurisdiction only, at the end of the maximum period of time permissible under applicable Law.

(g) If any Governmental Authority determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall, to the extent enforceable under applicable Law, not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the portions which have been declared invalid or unenforceable.

(h) If any Governmental Authority determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, it is the intention of the parties that such Governmental Authority shall have the power to modify any such provision, to the extent necessary to render the provision enforceable, and such provision as so modified shall be enforced.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, each of the Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates, beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Related Persons”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges, fully, finally and forever, the Company, its Subsidiaries, Buyer and each of their respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, directors and officers and employees (together, the “Company Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, rights, causes of action, proceedings, orders, remedies, obligations, damages and liabilities of whatsoever kind or character arising as a result of any event or condition, or action or inaction of the Company Released Parties, from the beginning of time until the Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, both at Law and in equity, which such Seller

Related Person ever had, now has, or ever may have, against any Company Released Party, including in any Seller Related Person’s capacity as a direct or indirect equityholder of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and pursuant to any Contract between any Seller Related Person and a Company Released Party (as to each Seller Related Person, such Seller Related Person’s “Seller Related Person Claims”); provided, however, that Seller Related Person Claims shall not include any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to any Transaction Document, or to any employment agreement now in effect or subsequently executed.

(b) No Seller has filed, and no Seller will file, any Action against any Company Released Party with any Governmental Authority or otherwise, based on events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date in relation to any matter released or purported to be released hereunder. No Seller has assigned, and no Seller will assign, any Seller Related Person Claim and has not authorized, and will not authorize, any other Person to assert any Seller Related Person Claim on its or their behalf.

(c) Each Seller expressly acknowledges that the release provided under this Section 5.17 is intended to include in its effect all claims within the scope of this release that the Sellers do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this release contemplates the extinguishment of any such claim or claims.

(d) Each Seller is aware that statutes exist that render null and void or otherwise affect or may affect releases and discharges of any claims, rights, demands, Liabilities, Actions and causes of action that are unknown to the releasing or discharging party at the time of execution of the release and discharge. Each Seller, for itself and the other Seller Related Persons, hereby expressly waives, surrenders and agrees to forego any and all protections, rights or benefits to which the Sellers otherwise would be entitled by virtue of the existence of any such statute or the common law of any state, province or jurisdiction with the same or similar effect. Further, it is understood and agreed that the facts in respect of which the release provided under this Section 5.17 is given may turn out to be other than or different from the facts in that respect now known or believed by the Sellers to be true; and with such understanding and agreement, each of the Sellers expressly accepts and assumes the risk of facts being other than or different from the assumptions and perceptions as of any date prior to and including the Closing Date, and agrees that this release shall be in all respects effective and shall not be subject to termination or rescission by reason of any such difference in facts.

(e) The release provided under this Section 5.17 shall extend to and be binding upon each of the Sellers, and each such Person’s legal successors and assigns, and all other Seller Related Persons, and shall inure to the benefit of all of the Company Released Parties.

Section 5.18. Acquisition Proposals. Except as contemplated by Section 5.15, neither the Company (on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries) nor any Seller shall, and neither the Company (on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries) nor any Seller shall authorize or permit any officer, director, manager or employee of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Seller, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or encourage any Acquisition Proposal, (b) consider, accept or enter into any Contract with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or (c) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal. The Sellers’ Representative shall promptly advise Buyer orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry with respect to or which would lead to any Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the material terms thereof.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the five (5)-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Measuring Period”), Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company) to, grant, award, pay or otherwise disburse at least $5,000,000, in the aggregate (the “Continuing Employee Pool Amount”), in cash or long-term incentive compensation to the Company Continuing Employees pursuant to retention, incentive compensation and severance plans or programs that Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) may establish for the Company Continuing Employees during the Measuring Period.

(b) Buyer, the Company, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative acknowledge and agree that each of the following shall be deemed to have been granted, awarded, paid or otherwise disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.19, and shall be credited to and applied toward the satisfaction of the Continuing Employee Pool Amount: (i) all bonuses or other incentive compensation paid to the Company Continuing Employees (including pursuant to the Employment Agreements) during, or that relate to, the Measuring Period; provided, however, that, solely for the fiscal year of Buyer ending March 31, 2015, only an aggregate amount up to (but not exceeding) $500,000 of any such bonuses or other incentive compensation paid (whether paid before, on or after March 31, 2015) that relates to the fiscal year of Buyer ending March 31, 2015 shall be credited to and applied toward the satisfaction of the Continuing Employee Pool Amount; (ii) any severance paid any Continuing Company Employee during, or that relates to, the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the two (2)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, whether pursuant to the Employment Agreements, Section 5.4(a) or otherwise; and (iii) all restricted stock granted or awarded to any Company Continuing Employee (including pursuant to the Employment Agreements) during the Measuring Period in accordance with the Buyer’s 2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended, restated, superseded or replaced, the “Buyer LTIP”) (each such grant or award of restricted stock, a “Restricted Stock Awards”); provided, however, that if, at any time during the Measuring Period, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) terminates the employment of any Company Continuing Employee that received a Restricted Stock Award without “Cause” (as defined in the Buyer LTIP), then Buyer shall subsequently grant or award the restricted stock included in such Company Continuing Employee’s Restricted Stock Award to another Company Continuing Employee, and such subsequent grant or award shall (x) be deemed to have been granted or awarded pursuant to this Section 5.19 but (y) not be credited to and applied toward the satisfaction of the Continuing Employee Pool Amount (provided that the original Restricted Stock Award relating to the Company Continuing Employee whose employment was so terminated will remain credited to and applied toward the satisfaction of the Continuing Employee Pool Amount), in each case subject to the terms of this Section 5.19. In furtherance of the foregoing, if, at any time during the Measuring Period and with respect to any Company Continuing Employee that was awarded or granted a Restricted Stock Award, the employment of such Company Continuing Employee with Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) is terminated either by (i) such Company Continuing Employee for any reason or (ii) Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) for “Cause” (as defined in the Buyer LTIP), then, in either case, Buyer shall not be required to grant or award such Company Continuing Employee’s Restricted Stock Award to any other Person, and the Restricted Stock Award to such Company Continuing Employee shall be deemed to have been granted or awarded pursuant to this Section 5.19, and shall be credited to and applied toward the satisfaction of the Continuing Employee Pool Amount.

Section 5.20. U.S. Pipe Building. During the period commencing on the date hereof through the Closing Date, the Company shall, and the Sellers shall cause their respective Affiliates that are a

party to any of the Construction Agreements to, continue to perform, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Rives Construction Company, Inc. and Cohen Carnaggio Reynolds to perform, the construction and other related activities with respect to the Owned Real Property located at 3300 1st Avenue North, Birmingham, Alabama in accordance with the terms of the Construction Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Sellers will be responsible for, and will pay, all amounts reflected in the final AIA Document G703 project schedule (current estimates of which, as of April 15, 2014 and April 30, 2014, are attached to Section 5.20 of the Disclosure Schedules), such final project schedule to be dated as of a date within five (5) Business Days of the Closing and included in the Updated Disclosure Schedules, for the construction and other related activities to be performed prior to the Closing in accordance with such final project schedule (whether or not such construction and other activities are performed prior to, at or following the Closing and whether such amounts are paid or become payable prior to, at or following the Closing); provided that such final project schedule shall not include an amount that is less than $2,413,087, or, if such final project schedule includes an amount that is less than $2,413,087, Sellers will be responsible for the difference between $2,413,087 and such lower amount set forth on such final project schedule. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to effect an assignment by The Robinson Real Estate Company, LLC to, and assumption by, the Company, as of the Closing Date, of that certain Standard Form of Agreement (AIA Document B105-2007), dated June 19, 2013, between The Robinson Real Estate Company, LLC and Cohen Carnaggio Reynolds, in a form reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto and to Buyer.

Section 5.21. Escheatment Payment. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Delaware Secretary of State an amount equal to $200,000 (the “Escheatment Payment”) of the unallocated accounts receivable set forth on the Interim Balance Sheet.

None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

Section 7.2. Indemnification By the Sellers. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII, the Sellers shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company and each of its Subsidiaries), and their respective subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), against, and shall hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all Losses actually incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, the Sellers shall severally, not jointly, indemnify Buyer against, and shall hold Buyer harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer based upon, arising out of, or with respect to or by reason of any breach or non-fulfillment of the covenants set forth in Section 5.16;

(c) any amounts payable, or other Losses incurred, by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any Contract set forth on Section 7.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedules, whether incurred prior to, at or following the Closing, including any Losses incurred in connection with the termination of such Contract, in each case, to the extent such Losses are not paid by the Company at or prior to the Closing; or

(d) any amounts payable, or other Losses incurred, by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, in connection with the prosecution or the defense of, any amounts paid in connection with any settlement of, and any Losses incurred by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any Order, judgment or award of any Governmental Authority related to, in each case, the Action set forth on Section 7.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedules, in accordance with the provisions set forth on Section 7.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedules.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Charitable Organization, as a stockholder of the Company and a Seller, has no liability or indemnification obligation to Buyer, except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 of this Agreement; provided that any liability or indemnification obligation under this Agreement otherwise attributable to the Shares sold hereunder by the Charitable Organization to Buyer is expressly assumed by Farrell E.

Robinson, individually, and Debra J. Robinson, individually, each subject to the Guaranty delivered by each of them, individually, pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(xvi).

Section 7.3. Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII, Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers, and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), against, and shall hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all Losses actually incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

Section 7.4. Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.2(a) (other than with respect to an inaccuracy in or breach of the Fundamental Representations, for which the following limitation shall not apply) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.2(a) (other than with respect to an inaccuracy in or breach of the Fundamental Representations, for which the following limitation shall not apply) or Section 7.3(a) exceeds $1,025,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (other than with respect to an inaccuracy in or breach of the Fundamental Representations, for which the following limitation shall not apply) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, shall not exceed $17,500,000 (the “Maximum Indemnification Amount”).

(c) For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, Losses shall be computed net of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party (net of collection costs and increases in premiums) and (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party from a third party in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) The amount of any Losses pursuant to this ARTICLE VII will be reduced by the amount of any income Tax benefit actually received by any Buyer Indemnified Party that arises directly from the incurrence or payment of the Loss associated with the applicable indemnity claim. Any indemnity payment hereunder will initially be made without regard to any income Tax benefit and will be reduced to reflect any such income Tax benefit only after such Buyer Indemnified Party has actually realized such benefit. For purposes of this Agreement, a Buyer Indemnified Party will have “actually realized” an income Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes paid by such Buyer Indemnified Party is reduced below the amount of Taxes that such Buyer Indemnified Party would have

been required to pay but for the incurrence or payment of such Loss; provided, however, that in computing the amount of any such income Tax benefit, the Buyer Indemnified Party will be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss. In the event that there is a subsequent disallowance (in whole or in part) of any income Tax benefit by any Governmental Authority, then the Sellers will promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer Indemnified Party the amount of such disallowed income Tax benefit.

(e) For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, Losses shall not include any (i) punitive damages (unless, and only to the extent, that such damages are awarded to a third party in a Third Party Claim, in which case such damages shall not be excluded from Losses), (ii) damages to the extent based on diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple or (iii) consequential damages.

(f) Each Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(g) In no event shall any party have any obligation or liability under this ARTICLE VII to the extent arising from or relating to, directly or indirectly, (i) any Law not adopted as of the Closing Date or that is adopted following the Closing Date but that takes effect retroactively to a date that is prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) any increase in any applicable Tax rate that is not adopted as of the Closing Date or that is adopted following the Closing Date but that takes effect retroactively to a date that is prior to the Closing Date.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the same Loss be taken into account more than once for purposes of calculations in connection with, or application of, the Deductible or the Maximum Indemnification Amount; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not, and shall not be construed to, limit (i) any Indemnified Party’s ability to assert multiple bases for any individual claim under this Agreement with respect to the same event or state of facts in any notice given by an Indemnified Party to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.5 and (ii) any Indemnified Party’s claims with respect to any different event or state of facts or recovery therefor pursuant to this ARTICLE VII.

(i) For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, and the amount of Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, will be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(j) None of the limitations set forth in this Section 7.4 will apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of common law fraud, criminal activity or the intentional misrepresentation of the Sellers.

(k) No Losses may be claimed under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 by any Indemnified Party to the extent such Losses are actually included in the final Closing Net Working Capital Statement pursuant to Section 2.5.

(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 reasonably 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 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 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 by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party is any Seller, neither such Indemnifying Party nor the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of such Seller) will have the right to assume or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim: (i) that is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) if the Indemnifying Party, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, does not have the financial resources, or is not able, to satisfy the amount of such Third Party Claim, (iv) if the Third Party Claim, or the Indemnifying Party’s defense or direction of the defense thereof, would, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (v) unless the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such Third Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 7.5(b), it 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 to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such 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 prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.5(b), 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. The Sellers 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 5.6) 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), except as provided in this Section 7.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the

Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.5(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 reasonably 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 copies of all material written evidence thereof 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 thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’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. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-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.

(a) To partially secure the obligations of the Sellers arising under this ARTICLE VII, at the Closing, Buyer shall deposit the Indemnity Escrowed Amount with the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Section 2.3(a) hereof. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Indemnity Escrowed Amount for the duration of the term of the Escrow Agreement, to be administered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Sellers’ Representative hereby agrees that, following the final determination that any indemnification is due and payable to Buyer under this ARTICLE VII, the Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate with Buyer and shall use its best efforts to take such action as is necessary to promptly provide to the Escrow Agent such written direction as is necessary under the terms of the Escrow Agreement to release such portion of the Indemnity Escrowed Amount as is necessary to satisfy such indemnifiable Losses of Buyer.

Section 7.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Share Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.8. Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 9.10, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from common law fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct 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 Section 5.12 or this ARTICLE VII. 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 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 Section 5.12 or this ARTICLE VII. Nothing in this Section 7.8 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of common law fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct by any party hereto.

Section 7.9. Contribution and Waiver. From and after the Closing, no Seller shall seek indemnification or contribution from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including by reason of the fact that such Seller was a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another entity) for any breaches of this Agreement of any Transaction Document or in respect of any other payments required to made by any Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

Section 8.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(i) Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) and such breach, inaccuracy or failure shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice of such breach or failure and (B) June 30, 2014 (the “Drop Dead Date”); or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 shall not have been fulfilled by the Drop Dead Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(i) none of the Sellers are then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 shall not have been fulfilled by the Drop Dead Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Sellers to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; or

(ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

(a) as set forth in this ARTICLE VIII and Section 5.6 and ARTICLE IX hereof, which provisions will survive termination and remain in full force and effect without any limitation whatsoever; and

(b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any intentional breach of any provision hereof.

Section 9.1. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including Section 2.5(c)(iv) hereof), all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred; provided, however, that (a) Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers (collectively), on the other hand, shall each be responsible for one-half of the filing fee payable in connection with the parties’ filings under the HSR Act, (b) Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers (collectively), on the other hand, shall each be responsible for one-half of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent, (c) Buyer shall pay all amounts payable to Lazard Frères & Co., LLC and (iv) all amounts payable to Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. shall be included in the Certified Company Transaction Expenses.

Section 9.3. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.4. Severability. 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 9.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules hereto and thereto) constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the prior written consent of any Seller or the Sellers’ Representative, (a) assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates (but such assignment will not release Buyer from any liability or obligation under this

Agreement) or (b) collaterally assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any of the Company’s, any of its Subsidiaries’ or Buyer’s lenders.

Section 9.7. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 5.5, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.8. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative and the Company, on the other hand. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE REAL PROPERTY TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF WILMINGTON AND COUNTY OF NEW CASTLE, 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.

Section 9.10. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 9.11. Counterparts. 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.

(a) In order to efficiently administer (i) the payment of the Purchase Price, (ii) the resolution of disputes relating to any Disputed Amounts, (iii) the defense and/or settlement of any indemnity claims of any Indemnified Party pursuant to ARTICLE VII, and (iv) the Escrowed Amount and the Escrow Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative is hereby designated by, and agrees to act as the representative of, the Sellers.

(b) By approving this Agreement and/or accepting their proportionate share of the Closing Date Share Purchase Price Payment and the Closing Date Owned Real Property Purchase Price Payment, each Seller hereby constitutes, and the Sellers collectively constitute, the Sellers’ Representative as their agent, proxy, and true and lawful attorney in fact for purposes of, and with full authority on the behalf of each of them: (i) to receive payment of and to allocate the Purchase Price; (ii) to make all decisions relating to the resolution of disputes relating to any Disputed Amounts; (iii) to take all action necessary in connection with the defense and/or settlement of any indemnity claims of any Indemnified Party pursuant to ARTICLE VII; (iv) to give and receive all notices required to be given to the Sellers under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; (v) to amend this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.8 and to deliver any Updated Disclosure Schedules pursuant to Section 5.3, and (vi) to take any and all additional action as is contemplated to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative or on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Each Seller agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Seller. All decisions and actions by the Sellers’ Representative (to the extent authorized by and in accordance with this Agreement) shall be binding upon all of the Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts, consultants and other advisors as he shall deem necessary in connection with exercising his powers and performing his functions hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Sellers’ Representative) shall, solely as to the Sellers, be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such persons.

(c) In the event that the Sellers’ Representative becomes unable to perform his responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, another Person designated by a majority in interest of the Sellers in writing to Buyer shall be deemed to be the Sellers’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Buyer has the right to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Sellers’ Representative as to the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Buyer pursuant to ARTICLE VII, or any other actions required to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, and no party hereunder will have any Action against Buyer for any action taken by Buyer in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Sellers’ Representatives.

(e) Each of the Sellers shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from and against any loss, cost, damage, claim or expense (including attorneys’ fees) which may be incurred by Sellers’ Representative arising out of or relating to the performance of his duties and obligations as the Sellers’ Representative hereunder or under the Transaction Documents,

except to the extent as the consequence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Sellers’ Representative.

(f) The Sellers’ Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Seller. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted by the Sellers’ Representative or any agent employed by the Sellers’ Representative hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Sellers’ Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Neither the Sellers’ Representative nor any agent employed by the Sellers’ Representative shall incur any liability to any Seller by virtue of the failure of the Sellers’ Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting fraud or bad faith.

Section 9.13. Disclosure Schedules. The disclosures in the Disclosure Schedules, with respect to a particular representation and warranty, and those in any Updated Disclosure Schedule, shall be considered a disclosure for purposes of any other representation and warranty in this Agreement for which such disclosure would be readily apparent.

Section 9.14. Tax-Deferred Exchange; Cooperation. The Sellers shall have the right to structure the sale of the Owned Real Property as a forward or reverse exchange thereof for other real property of a like-kind to be designated by the Sellers (including the ability to assign this Agreement to an entity established in order to effectuate such exchange), with the result that the exchange shall qualify for non-recognition of gain or loss under Section 1031 of the Code, in which case Buyer shall execute any and all documents reasonably necessary to effect such exchange, as reasonably approved by Buyer’s counsel, and otherwise assist and cooperate with the Sellers in effecting such exchange, provided that: (a) any additional costs and expenses incurred by Buyer as a result of structuring such transaction as an exchange, as opposed to an outright sale, shall be borne by the Sellers; (b) the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all Liabilities arising from effecting the exchange contemplated hereby; (c) Buyer shall not be required to take title to any property other than the Owned Real Property pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; and (d) Closing under this Agreement shall not be extended as a result of such contemplated exchange.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date hereof.
