(c)In the event that Seller does not agree that the Closing Report prepared by Buyer accurately reflects all or any portion of the Closing Cash Amount, the Closing Acquired Companies Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses or the Final Adjustment Amount, or that the Closing Report was prepared in the manner required by this Agreement, Seller shall, within forty-five (45) days of the date on which Buyer delivers the Closing Report to Seller, prepare and deliver to Buyer a written notice of dispute (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute. In the event that Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer within the time period required by the immediately preceding sentence, then the Closing Report prepared by Buyer, including the Closing Cash Amount, the Closing Acquired Companies Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses and the Final Adjustment Amount set forth therein shall be deemed to be and shall become final, binding and conclusive on all of the Parties hereto.

(d)In the event that Seller timely delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof, Buyer and Seller shall attempt to reconcile the disputed items, and any resolution by them as to any such disputes shall be final, binding and conclusive on all of the Parties hereto. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any such dispute within twenty (20) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Notice from Seller, Buyer and Seller shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm. Promptly following the submission of the items in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following such submission, each of Buyer and Seller shall submit to such Independent Accounting Firm (and the other Party) all documentary materials and analyses that Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, believes to be relevant to a resolution of the dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items or amounts set forth in the Closing Report as to which Seller has disagreed in the Dispute Notice. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on written submissions by Seller and Buyer that are in accordance with the applicable definitions, guidelines and procedures set forth herein (i.e., not on the basis of independent review). Neither Party shall engage in any ex parte communications with the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of all such submissions by Buyer and Seller, determine and deliver to Buyer and Seller a written report containing such Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of all disputed matters submitted to it for resolution, and such written report and the determinations contained therein shall be final, binding and conclusive on all of the Parties hereto. With respect to each disputed item, such

determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Buyer or Seller, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Seller in the Dispute Notice or Buyer in the Closing Report. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the actual amount not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, in relation to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.

(e)Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Report has become final, binding and conclusive on all Parties in accordance with this Section 2.3, (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller (or its designee) the Final Adjustment Amount, if such amount is positive, or (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer (or its designee) the Final Adjustment Amount, if such amount is negative. Payments under this Section 2.3(e) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account that is designated by the Party entitled to payment.

(f)Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.3 and any indemnification payments made pursuant to Article VII shall be treated as adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(a). Within the later of (a) sixty (60) days after the date hereof or (b) forty-five (45) days following the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.3, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a draft allocation of the Closing Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.3) and all other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes among the assets of the Companies (the “Draft Allocation”). The Draft Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If Seller disagrees with the Draft Allocation, Seller may, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Draft Allocation, deliver a written notice to Buyer to such effect, specifying those items as to which Seller disagrees and setting forth Seller’s proposed allocation in respect of those items. Buyer and Seller shall then use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on any such disputed items or amounts. If, after using commercially reasonable efforts, Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement, each of Buyer and Seller may adopt separate positions on their respective Tax Returns with respect to such disputed items or amounts. Assuming that Buyer and Seller reach such an agreement (the “Final Allocation”), such Final Allocation shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties. Buyer and Seller agree that they (i) shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) prepare and file all Tax Returns (and IRS Forms 8594) in a manner consistent with the Agreed Tax Treatment and the Final Allocation and (ii) shall not take (and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to take) any Tax position that is inconsistent with the Agreed Tax Treatment or the Final Allocation, in each case unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

. The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place by electronic transmission of documents (in .pdf format) (except to the extent that local California or Nevada Law requires transmission of an original document) and by wire transfer of funds (or in such other manner as the Parties may mutually designate in writing) on the date hereof. The Closing shall be deemed effective at the close of business (Pacific time) on the date hereof and after giving effect to the Closing Cash Sweep.

In acquiring the Acquired Companies, Buyer acknowledges that Buyer is indirectly acquiring certain rights in, or ownership and/or use of, real property held or owned by Western or any of its Subsidiaries, including rights in, or ownership and/or use of, real property utilized by the Acquired Companies in the Yuba Goldfields (together, the “Disclaimed Real Estate”), and does so, subject to the representations, warranties and indemnities in this Agreement, “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS, LIABILITIES, AND DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN,” in their present state and condition, with no right of recourse against Seller (or any related or affiliated party) for same. Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has been, or will be, given the opportunity to conduct its own investigation as to any matter, fact, or issue that might influence Buyer’s decision to purchase the Acquired Companies. Buyer acknowledges that Seller and Seller’s agents, contractors, consultants, attorneys, and representatives have not made, do not make, and specifically negate and disclaim, and Buyer is not relying on, any representations, warranties, promises, covenants, agreements or guaranties of any kind or character whatsoever, whether express or implied, oral or written, past, present or future, of, as to, concerning, or with respect to the Disclaimed Real Estate, except as expressly set forth in Section 4.6(b)(x) and Section 4.22, including any of the following: the value of the Disclaimed Real Estate; any income to be derived from the Disclaimed Real Estate; the suitability of the Disclaimed Real Estate for any and all activities and uses which Buyer may conduct thereon, including the possibilities for future development of the Disclaimed Real Estate;

the habitability, merchantability, marketability, profitability or fitness for a particular purpose of the Disclaimed Real Estate; the manner, quality, state of repair or lack of repair on the Disclaimed Real Estate; the nature, quality or condition of the Disclaimed Real Estate, including with respect to water conditions, soil, geological or geotechnical condition (including soil expansiveness, corrosiveness, or stability, or seismic, hydrological, geological and topographical conditions and configurations, including any opinions or conclusions of any soils engineer(s) retained to perform geotechnical and/or soils studies or to oversee any soils engineering aspects of developing the Disclaimed Real Estate); the manner or quality of the construction or materials, if any, incorporated into the Disclaimed Real Estate; compliance with any environmental protection, pollution or land use laws, rules, regulations, orders, codes or requirements (except as may relate to a release of Hazardous Substances), including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, California Health & Safety Codes, Environmental Laws and regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing (all as have been or may be amended from time to time); the presence or absence of any underground storage tanks on the Disclaimed Real Estate or on property adjacent to or near the Disclaimed Real Estate; the content, completeness or accuracy of any feasibility or due diligence documents, any other materials related to Buyer’s feasibility review, or any preliminary reports or other reports or commitments regarding title to the Disclaimed Real Estate; the conformity of the Disclaimed Real Estate to past, current or future applicable zoning or building requirements; deficiency of any undershoring; deficiency of any drainage; the fact that all or a portion of the Disclaimed Real Estate may be located on or near an earthquake fault line or in or near an earthquake or seismic hazard zone; the fact that all or a portion of the Disclaimed Real Estate may be located in or near a “wildlands” area or a state fire responsibility area; the existence of vested land use, zoning or building entitlements affecting the Disclaimed Real Estate; water rights or the availability of or access to water; the availability of or access to sewer improvements; or utilities or availability thereof.

(a)The Confidentiality Agreement will terminate at the Closing. Following the Closing, without the prior written consent of the other Party, Buyer shall not disclose any other confidential or proprietary information and data of Seller and its Affiliates (except to the extent related to the Acquired Companies), and Seller shall not disclose any other confidential or proprietary information and data of Buyer and its Affiliates (including with respect to the Acquired Companies) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure, in violation of this Agreement, by the receiving Party or its representatives, (ii) is or becomes available to the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source that the receiving Party does not have reason to believe to be bound by an obligation or duty of confidentiality or another legal, fiduciary or contractual obligation of confidentiality or secrecy, or (iii) is independently developed by the receiving Party or its representatives after the Closing without use of or reference to any of the Confidential Information. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable Law; provided, that to the extent legally permissible, the receiving Party shall notify the disclosing Party of its intention to make such disclosure and provide a list of the Confidential Information that the receiving Party intends to disclose prior to making such disclosure. The receiving Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy with

respect to disclosing the Confidential Information. In the event that such a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the receiving Party (A) will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that in the opinion of the receiving Party’s outside legal counsel is required by applicable Law to be disclosed and (B) will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such of the disclosed information that the disclosing Party so designates.

(b)For six (6) years from and after the date hereof, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, retain all books, records and other documents of the Acquired Companies relating to periods prior to the date hereof and make the same available for inspection and copying by Seller during normal business hours upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice.

. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with each other prior to any public disclosure of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions. Buyer and Seller agree that no public release or announcement concerning the terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions shall be issued by either Party or any Affiliate without the prior consent of the other Party, except (a) for such release or announcement as may be required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange upon which the securities of Eagle Materials or any publicly traded entity resulting from the Spin-Off are listed, or the requirements of any self-regulatory body, in which case Eagle Materials shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow Buyer reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (and will consider any such comments in good faith) or (b) to the extent the contents of such release or announcement have previously been released publicly or are consistent in all material respects with materials that have previously been released publicly (without violation of this Section 6.2).

(a)As of and after the date hereof, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be recognized the service of Company Employees with the applicable Acquired Company prior to the date hereof as service with Buyer and its Affiliates under each employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement (including vacations, sick time, paid time off leave and severance policies) sponsored by Buyer or any of its Affiliates for such Company Employees (including any Benefit Plans) for purposes of any waiting period, vesting, eligibility and benefit entitlement; provided, that such service shall not be credited to the extent such credit would result in any duplication of compensation or benefits. This Section 6.3 shall not apply to Company Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement.

(b)Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.3(g), effective as of the Closing (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable), each Company Employee shall be given the opportunity to begin participating in any qualified retirement plan or other employee benefit plan sponsored by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (including any health or welfare benefit plan) if the Company Employee meets the eligibility requirements for such plans after taking into account the employee’s service, if any, credited under Section 6.3(a).

(c)On and after the date hereof, each Company Employee shall be credited under Buyer’s vacation, sick leave and personal time policies with vacation, sick leave or personal time that is earned but unused as of the date hereof.

(d)Buyer shall be responsible for providing short-term and long-term disability benefits to any Company Employee who was on short-term or long-term disability leave immediately prior to the date hereof.

(e)Effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall allow each Company Employee who both (i) remains employed with an Acquired Company following the Closing (a “Continuing Company Employee”) and (ii) immediately prior to the Closing was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (a “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans, if any, with a cash or deferred feature (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) maintained for the benefit of Buyer’s employees immediately prior to the Closing to the same extent and for the same purpose as similarly situated employees of Buyer who participate in the Buyer 401(k) Plan. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, the Seller 401(k) Plan shall, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of the Code and the Seller 401(k) Plan, make distributions available to Company Employees, and the Buyer 401(k) Plan shall accept any such distribution (including loans), as a rollover contribution if so directed by the Continuing Company Employee to the extent permitted by the terms of the Buyer 401(k) Plan. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate to effectuate such rollover contributions by Continuing Company Employees.

(f)On or prior to the date hereof, Seller shall pay, or cause the Acquired Companies to pay, any and all Liabilities, if any, relating to annual bonuses with respect to the period prior to the Closing for each Company Employee who is or would be eligible to receive any annual bonus under any Benefit Plan pursuant to the terms thereof and shall pay such bonuses in accordance with the terms of such Benefit Plans. Any such Liabilities shall, to the extent unpaid by the Acquired Companies at or prior to Closing, constitute Transaction Expenses. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller and its Affiliates shall not have or otherwise incur any liability, including in respect of (i) any and all costs related to Buyer’s termination of any Company Employee, including severance or other termination costs, (ii) Company Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement, or (iii) terminations or layoffs of Company Employees that may implicate the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or similar Law (whether federal or state Laws), in each case, arising in connection with actions that are taken or initiated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates at or following the Closing or that are otherwise incurred following the Closing.

(g)With respect to Company Employees and their eligible dependents who participate in Seller Plans providing medical, dental or vision benefits as of Closing (collectively, “COBRA Participants”), Seller and its Affiliates shall, to the extent requested by Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts to treat the consummation of the Transactions as a “qualifying event” for purposes of Section 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA (“COBRA”), such that COBRA Participants shall be provided with continuation coverage required under COBRA in connection with a “qualifying event” (“Continuation Coverage”); provided, however, that Buyer shall establish its own health and welfare benefit plans for the benefit of Continuing Company Employees (or designate the Continuing Company Employees as eligible for existing health and welfare benefit plans) no later than June 1, 2020 (the “Benefit Transition Date”). Buyer shall

reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the provision of Continuation Coverage pursuant to this Section 6.3(g) (including with respect to any COBRA Participants who continue to receive Continuation Coverage following the Benefit Transition Date and with respect to claims reported after the Benefit Transition Date), it being understood that such reimbursements shall include, but not be limited to, (i) with respect to each COBRA Participant, the full cost that Seller and its Affiliates charge in the ordinary course of business for Continuation Coverage, to be paid monthly by Buyer, and (ii) the amount by which the aggregate out-of-pocket cost of providing the Continuation Coverage (including with respect to any claims incurred by COBRA Participants) exceeds the aggregate premium amount that relates to such Continuation Coverage, which amount shall be paid by Buyer within five (5) Business Days following receipt of an invoice from Seller reflecting such amount.

(h)Without limiting the generality of Section 8.8, the provisions of this Section 6.3 are solely for the benefit of the Parties and no current or former employee, director, independent contractor, or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan (including any benefit plan of Buyer or its Affiliates) for any purpose. Nothing contained in this Section 6.3 (whether express or implied) shall (i) be deemed to require Buyer or any Acquired Company to employ Company Employees for any fixed or predetermined time following the Closing or otherwise create or confer any rights, remedies or claims upon any Company Employee or any right of employment or engagement or continued employment or engagement or any particular term or condition of employment or engagement for any Company Employee or any other Person, (ii) be considered or deemed to establish, amend, or modify any plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement or contract, or (iii) prohibit or limit the ability of Buyer (including, following the Closing, an Acquired Company) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement or contract at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

(a)Each Party shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other papers and shall take, or shall cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required (i) to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and give effect to the Transactions and the Ancillary Agreements, including the transfer of any Permits used by the Acquired Companies but held by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller and the preparation and recordation of any deeds or other conveyances of the Real Property or Yuba Goldfields, or (ii) to assist Buyer in its dismissal of the appeal pending before the California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, entitled A. Teichert & Son, Inc., v. California State Mining and Geology Board, et al. (3rd DCA No. C082333) (the “Vested Rights Appeal”) at the sole cost and expense of Buyer without any liability or payment from Seller or its Affiliates. Subject to clause (ii) of this Section 6.4(a), and notwithstanding Section 8.12, Seller agrees to provide a waiver of conflicts solely to the extent necessary for Buyer to engage Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP in connection with the dismissal of the Vested Rights Appeal.

(b)If, after the Closing, Seller receives any funds from a third party that are the property of any Acquired Company, Seller shall remit any such funds as promptly as practicable

to Buyer. If, after the Closing, Buyer or any Acquired Company receives any funds from a third party that are the property of Seller or its Affiliates, Buyer shall remit any such funds as promptly as practicable to Seller.

(a)All Tax Returns for Taxes and Tax items relating to the operations or assets of either of the Acquired Companies, but not imposed on any of the Acquired Companies, ending on or prior to the date hereof (“Flow-Through Returns”) shall be prepared and filed under the control of Seller. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes when due for the Acquired Companies for any Tax year or period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the date hereof.

(b)Other than Flow-Through Returns described in Section 6.5(a), Buyer shall control the preparation and filing of all other Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Periods and Straddle Periods with respect to the Acquired Companies that are not due on or before fifteen (15) days following the date hereof (including applicable extensions). With respect to all Pre-Closing Periods and Straddle Periods, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice unless otherwise required by applicable Law and the agreements in this Section 6.5. Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all income Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period required to be prepared and filed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.5(b) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing thereof (including applicable extensions) for Seller’s review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)Straddle Period Tax Allocation. In the case of any Taxes of any Acquired Company that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the date hereof shall, (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income, receipts or expenditures, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended at the close of the date hereof, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes with respect to the property or assets of the Acquired Companies as of the date hereof, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the date hereof and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. Any payments owed to Buyer or Seller, as applicable, under this Section 6.5(c) shall be made within sixty (60) days after the receipt of Buyer’s or Seller’s invoice with appropriate substantiation of Straddle Period Tax allocation. The applicable Party shall prepare and send its invoice within a reasonable period of time once the payment amount is determined based on either (A) the filing of the Tax Return or (B) the payment of Taxes to the applicable Governmental Body.

(d)None of Buyer, its Affiliates, and, after the Closing, any Acquired Company, shall amend or cause to be amended any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies that relates to any Pre-Closing Period without the consent of Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer and its Affiliates shall promptly notify Eagle Materials of any examination, audit, claim, assessment, deficiency or Legal Proceeding that arises after the Closing in respect of any Taxes of the Acquired Companies for Pre-Closing Periods and make available to Eagle Materials all information, records and documents provided by or to any Taxing authorities related to any such examination, audit, claim, assessment, deficiency or Legal Proceeding. The Parties shall cooperate fully in preparing for and defending any audits of,

or disputes with, any Taxing authorities regarding any Taxes of the Acquired Companies, and Eagle Materials shall be entitled to control the correspondence with any such Taxing authorities regarding, and the defense of, any such audits or disputes that relate to the portion of any Taxes for which Seller would be liable under this Agreement, other than with respect to Straddle Periods. Buyer shall be entitled to control the correspondence with any such Taxing authorities regarding, and the defense of, any such audits or disputes that include the Straddle Periods; provided, that Buyer shall keep Eagle Materials apprised of the status of matters relating to such audits or disputes and promptly notify Eagle Materials of any substantive communication it or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives receives from any Taxing authority relating to such audits or disputes and permit Eagle Materials to review in advance and participate in any proposed communication by Buyer or its Affiliates to any Taxing authority.

(e)Any Tax refund received by Buyer, its Affiliates or any Acquired Company to the extent that such refund relates to any Pre-Closing Period of the Acquired Companies shall be for the account of Seller, together with interest received from the applicable Governmental Body with respect to any such refund or portion thereof, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof.

(f)Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all sales, use, stamp, recordation, registration or similar transfer Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Transactions. Within seventy (70) days after the date hereof, Buyer shall provide to Seller a copy of the draft asset allocation and valuation report prepared for Buyer by an independent, third party valuation and appraisal firm with respect to the Transactions (the “Valuation Report”). If Seller disagrees with the Valuation Report with respect to any amounts in which Seller would be responsible for any transfer Taxes, Seller shall provide Buyer with any comments to the Valuation Report within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, which such comments shall be considered by (and discussed with) Buyer in good faith; provided, that if, after such good faith discussions, Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement on such amounts, Buyer shall be entitled to finalize and submit to the appropriate Governmental Body any change in ownership reports or similar filings that relate to transfer Taxes that may be due with respect to the Transactions with amounts regarding such disputed items as Buyer shall determine.

(g)Tax Treatment. Buyer and Seller agree to treat, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and applicable state and local Tax purposes), the sale of all of the Interests of the Companies by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement as if Seller sold to Buyer all of the assets of the Companies in exchange for the amount treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”).

(a)For purposes of this Section 6.6, “Indemnified Director and Officer” shall mean any person who was, is now, or has been at any time prior to the Closing, an officer, manager or director of any Acquired Company, or has been at any time prior to the Closing, an officer, manager or director of any Acquired Company who was serving at the request of any Acquired Company as an officer, manager or director of another Person.

(b)Prior to the date hereof, the Companies have obtained, at the cost of Seller, prepaid “tail” insurance policies, which policies provide each Indemnified Director and Officer

with coverage of $3,000,000 for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing, including in connection with the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions.

(c)Subject to applicable Law, the rights of any Indemnified Director and Officer under this Section 6.6 shall be in addition to any other rights such Indemnified Director and Officer may have under the Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies or any other Contracts as in effect on the date hereof, which such rights shall be maintained by Buyer for at least six (6) years following the date hereof. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions, and are expressly intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Directors and Officers and their respective heirs and personal representatives.

(d)If Buyer or any Acquired Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns, transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their properties and assets to any other Person or consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or such Acquired Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of Buyer or such Acquired Company set forth in this Section 6.6.

(a)From and after the Closing, each Acquired Company shall cease to be insured by Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates’ current claims-made insurance policies or programs or by any of their current claims-made self-insured programs, and, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.7, neither Buyer, the Acquired Companies nor their respective Affiliates shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such claims-made insurance policies, programs or self-insured programs (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover any assets of any Acquired Company or any Liability arising from the operation of the business of the Acquired Companies. Seller or any of its Affiliates may amend any insurance policies and ancillary arrangements in the manner it deems appropriate to give effect to this Section 6.7. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for securing all insurance with respect to the operation of the Acquired Companies, provided that Seller shall continue to maintain the Acquired Companies as named insureds or loss payees on all historical occurrence-based policies with respect to the period prior to the date hereof.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 6.7(a), with respects to acts, omissions, events or circumstances relating to the Acquired Companies that occurred or existed prior to the Closing that are covered by occurrence-based insurance policies of Seller or any of its Affiliates under which an Acquired Company is an insured prior to Closing, Seller and its Affiliates shall make such claims for coverage as reasonably requested by Buyer or any Acquired Company and use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such claim for coverage and the receipt of insurance proceeds on behalf of an Acquired Company, subject to the terms and conditions of such occurrence-based policies and this Agreement, to the extent such coverage and limits are available. Buyer shall promptly repay or reimburse Seller and its Affiliates, or cause Seller and its Affiliates to be promptly repaid or reimbursed, for all costs and expenses incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in collecting such proceeds, including the amount of

any deductibles and self-insured retentions associated with any such claims made by Seller or any of its Affiliates under such occurrence-based policies, and Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of such claims. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing, none of Buyer or the Acquired Companies shall have any right to directly make claims or seek coverage under any of the insurance policies provided or made available to the Acquired Companies by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

. In the event, and for so long as, Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Initiating Party”) is prosecuting, contesting or defending any Legal Proceeding, investigation, charge, claim or demand by a third party that is not a Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions or the business of the Acquired Companies (other than the Vested Rights Appeal, which is governed by Section 6.4(a)), the non-Initiating Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (and its and their officers and employees) to, reasonably cooperate with the Initiating Party and its counsel in such prosecution, contest or defense, including making reasonably available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such prosecution, contest or defense, in each case, at the Initiating Party’s sole cost.

(a)As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the date hereof, Buyer shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to, (i) cease to hold itself out as having any affiliation with Seller or any of its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Acquired Companies), (ii) cease and discontinue use of all Trademarks, domain names and other source or business identifiers of Eagle Materials Inc. (together with all Trademarks, domain names and other source or business identifiers confusingly similar to or embodying any of the foregoing, “Seller Name”) and (iii) complete the removal of the Seller Name from all products, signage, properties, technical information, stationery and promotional or other marketing materials and other assets; provided, that, notwithstanding such ninety (90) day period, the Buyer shall not use the Seller Name at any time following the Closing in any manner that reflects negatively on Seller or its Affiliates. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 6.9 would be inadequate and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, Seller and its Affiliates shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief and other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, and the Parties hereto further hereby agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of bond or other undertaking in any action which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 6.9.

(b)Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Buyer is not acquiring, and no Acquired Company is retaining, any right, title or interest in or to, or right to use, the Seller Name and (ii) following the Closing, none of Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any right, title or interest in or to, or right to use, and Buyer covenants that it and its Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) will not hereafter adopt, use, apply to register or register, or authorize others to adopt, use, apply to register or register, any Trademarks consisting of, incorporating or confusingly similar to the Seller Name.

. In the event that, as of the Closing, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall not have substituted itself for Seller and any of its Affiliates under, and caused Seller and its Affiliates to be released from, any guarantees, indemnities, letters of credit, letters of comfort, performance bonds, commitments, understandings, agreements and other obligations of such Persons related to the Acquired Companies set forth on Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Guarantees”), if any, (a) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause itself or one of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to be substituted for Seller and any of its Affiliates, and for Seller and any of its Affiliates to be released, in respect of all obligations of Seller and any of its Affiliates under any Guarantee and (b) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates against any Losses that Seller or any of its Affiliates suffers, incurs or is liable for by reason of or arising out of or in consequence of such Guarantee. Without limiting the foregoing, if Seller and its Affiliates shall not have been released from any Guarantee, after the Closing, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, renew, extend, amend or supplement any loan, contract, lease or other obligation that is covered by a Guarantee without providing Seller with evidence satisfactory to Seller that such Guarantee has been released. Any cash or other collateral posted by Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies to the extent any such cash or other collateral was taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Purchase Price) and received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the Closing in respect of any Guarantee shall be delivered to Seller.

. Seller understands that Buyer shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the business of the Acquired Companies to the extent permitted by Law and that Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 6.11 and, therefore, Seller agrees as follows:

(a)Non-Compete. For a period of three (3) years from the date hereof, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly own, maintain, engage in, or participate or have any interest in the operation of any aggregate mining business or ready-mix concrete business (collectively, the “Restricted Activities” and, each individually a “Restricted Activity”) within a 60-mile radius from the front gate of the aggregate mine owned by Western in Marysville, California; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, 3D Concrete LLC shall be permitted to continue to operate within the geographic regions that it operated in as of the Closing. This Section 6.11(a) shall not apply to, and shall not be deemed breached as a result of, the ownership by Seller or any of its Affiliates of securities in a publicly held Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Restricted Activities that in the aggregate represent less than an aggregate of 5% of the outstanding beneficial ownership of such Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Restricted Activities.

(b)Non-Solicit. For a period of two (2) years from the date hereof, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirect, solicit the employment of, or cause or attempt to cause to leave the employment of any Acquired Company, any Person who is, or was in the prior six (6) months, employed by any Acquired Company; provided, however, that this Section 6.11(b) shall not apply to, or restrict, Seller or its Affiliates from soliciting or hiring any employee (i) who responds to a general solicitation or advertisement that is not specifically targeted or direct at employees of any Acquired Company or (ii) whose employment has been terminated by any Acquired Company.

(a)Seller will deliver, or cause to be delivered, the books and records of the Acquired Companies (other than books and records related to the Yuba Goldfields), including minute books and stock records (as applicable), to Buyer as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof; provided, that Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall be permitted to retain copies of such books and records in accordance with their internal document retention policies and practices. Within ninety (90) days following the date hereof, Seller will deliver, or cause to be delivered, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense all records, reports or analyses related to the Yuba Goldfields in the possession or under the control of Seller or its Affiliates as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(b)Within two (2) Business Days following the date hereof, Seller shall grant Buyer such permissions as needed for Buyer to download all of the materials (free of any watermarks) contained in the virtual data room established by Seller through Donnelley Financial Solutions Venue (Project Gold) in connection with the Transactions.

(a)Teichert hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Seller (and its successors and assigns) the payment and performance of Buyer’s obligations herein as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether upon demand by Seller or by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise, and Teichert is hereby made fully responsible for the acts and omissions of Buyer that constitute a breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (collectively, the “Teichert Guarantee”). This Teichert Guarantee shall be a full, unconditional, irrevocable, absolute and continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection, and Teichert shall remain liable for Buyer’s obligations herein until the payment in full of all such obligations, provided that such Teichert Guarantee shall be subject to Teichert’s right to all defenses that Buyer has or would have had available to it (other than pursuant to a bankruptcy proceeding of Buyer).

(b)The Teichert Guarantee shall not be released, discharged, diminished or impaired by (i) any setoff, counterclaim, defense, act or occurrence which Teichert may have against Seller or any of its Affiliates as a result of or arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any other transaction, (ii) the renewal, extension, modification or alteration by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Buyer, with or without the knowledge or consent of Teichert, of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or of any Liability of Buyer hereunder or thereunder, (iii) any forbearance or compromise granted to Buyer by Seller when dealing with Buyer, except to the extent of such forbearance or compromise, (iv) any change in corporate structure or ownership of Seller or Buyer or the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up or termination of Seller or Buyer, (v) the inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Buyer under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (vi) any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Seller or any of its Affiliates to take or prosecute any action in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (vii) the full or partial release of Buyer from any Liability, except that Teichert shall be released pro tanto to the extent Seller expressly releases Buyer from a Liability hereunder.

(c)Teichert waives notice of (i) acceptance of this Teichert Guarantee and (ii) the creation, renewal, extension, modification, alteration or existence of any Liability of Buyer hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement.

(d)If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws of general application with respect to creditors, Seller is required to refund part or all of any payment hereunder to Buyer, such payment shall not constitute a release from any Liability hereunder, and Teichert’s Liability and other obligations hereunder shall be reinstated to such extent.

. If, at any time after the date hereof but prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the date hereof, Buyer identifies any real property interests or rights located in Yuba County, California held by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) as of immediately prior to Closing that for any reason whatsoever were not conveyed or otherwise transferred or assigned to one of the Acquired Companies prior to or at Closing (the “Retained Property”), Seller will promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days from the earlier of Buyer’s written notice to Seller of its identification of any such Retained Property, cause any Retained Property to be conveyed to Buyer or its designated Affiliate by quitclaim deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or other equivalent conveyance instrument reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller, and in any case, such quitclaim deed or other equivalent conveyance instrument shall not contain any representations or warranties by Seller or its applicable Affiliate with respect to the Retained Property being conveyed, and no conveyance of such Retained Property shall result in any liability to Seller or its Affiliates. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall knowingly transfer or convey any Retained Property or any rights therein to any third party following the Closing, other than as provided by this Section 6.14. Seller shall not be entitled to any additional consideration for any conveyances made pursuant to this Section 6.14.

. The Fundamental Seller Representations and the Fundamental Buyer Representations shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period, unless, in each case, on or prior to such date a claim for indemnification, in accordance with the notice requirements under Section 7.4, is made with respect to any such representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purposes of, the resolution of such claim. The representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article IV (other than the Fundamental Seller Representations) and the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article V (other than the Fundamental Buyer Representations) shall survive until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the date hereof, unless on or prior to such date a claim for indemnification, in accordance with the notice requirements under Section 7.4, is made with respect to any such representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purposes of, the resolution of such claim. Any covenant or agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with its terms until performed to the extent such covenant or agreement is to be performed after the Closing.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, Seller and Eagle Materials (the “Seller Indemnifying Parties”) agree jointly and severally to indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), and their respective managers, officers, directors, employees, advisors (including attorneys, accountants, consultants and financial advisors), equityholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives

(collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) in respect of, and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless against, any and all losses, suits, proceedings, judgments, fines, awards, penalties, demands, assessments, liabilities, damages, claims, deficiencies and all costs (including any costs of collection), expenses, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements (each, a “Loss”, and collectively, “Losses”), based upon, resulting from or otherwise in respect of: (i) any breach of any representations and warranties of Seller in Article IV; and (ii) any breach or nonperformance of any covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing.

(b)The obligation of the Seller Indemnifying Parties to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses pursuant to this Section 7.2 is subject to the following limitations: (i) the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall not be required to provide indemnification to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by all the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of any claim against the Seller Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 7.2(a)(i) exceeds $450,000 (the “Deductible”), and then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) for only the amount in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall not have any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to any claim if the Losses relating to such claim are $25,000 or less (a “De Minimis Claim”) regardless of whether or not the aggregate amount of all Losses has exceeded the Deductible (it being understood that Losses incurred with respect to any De Minimis Claim shall be a deductible for which the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall bear no indemnification obligations and such Losses shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Deductible has been satisfied); and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Seller Indemnifying Parties are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) exceed $7,000,000 (the “Cap”). The limitations set forth in this Section 7.2(b) shall not apply in respect of any claims for indemnification with respect to Fraud or the Fundamental Seller Representations or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Seller Indemnifying Parties be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 7.2 for any amounts that, in the aggregate, exceed the Base Purchase Price.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, Hammonton Farms and Teichert agree jointly and severally to indemnify Seller, its Affiliates and their respective managers, officers, directors, employees, advisors (including attorneys, accountants, consultants and financial advisors), equityholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) in respect of, and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless against, any and all Losses, based upon, resulting from or otherwise in respect of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Article V; or (ii) any breach or nonperformance of any covenants or agreements of Buyer in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing.

(b)The obligation of Buyer to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for Losses pursuant to this Section 7.3 is subject to the following limitations: (i) Buyer shall not be required to provide indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by all the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of any claim against Buyer for indemnification under Section 7.3(a)(i) exceeds the Deductible, and

then the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) for only the amount in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) with respect to any claim that is a De Minimis Claim regardless of whether or not the aggregate amount of all Losses has exceeded the Deductible (it being understood that Losses incurred with respect to any De Minimis Claim shall be a deductible for which Buyer shall bear no indemnification obligations and such Losses shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Deductible has been satisfied); and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer is obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) exceed the Cap. The limitations set forth in this Section 7.3(b) shall not apply in respect of any claims for indemnification with respect to Fraud or the Fundamental Buyer Representations or pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Buyer be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 7.3 for any amounts that, in the aggregate, exceed the Base Purchase Price.

(a)Claim Notice. A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or would give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, promptly, and in an event within thirty (30) days, of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises (such notice, a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to provide a Claim Notice shall not release an Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent such party is prejudiced by such failure.

(b)Third Party Claims. If the matter specified in the notice provided in Section 7.4(a) relates to a Third Party Claim, then, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.4(b), such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if (i) the Indemnifying Party gives notice to the Indemnified Party that it will assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party (unless earlier notice is reasonably necessary to respond in a timely manner to such Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall give such earlier notice to the Indemnified Party), (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against an Indemnified Party (except where such non-monetary relief is not the primary relief sought in such claim), (iii) the Indemnifying Party actively and diligently defends the Third Party Claim, as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Party, (iv) the Third Party Claim does not relate to any criminal proceeding or indictment against an Indemnified Party and (v) the Third Party Claim does not involve a matter for which the total Losses would, or would reasonably be expected to, materially exceed an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in good faith in such defense. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party apprised to the extent reasonably practicable of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the applicable Third Party Claim. The fees and disbursements of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be at the expense of

the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.4(b), 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, conditioned or delayed), unless the settlement of such Third Party Claim (A) imposes no Loss on any Indemnified Party and includes a customary full and general release of each Indemnified Party of all Losses arising from or related to the Third Party Claim and no admission of fault or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party, and (B) involves only monetary damages paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and no injunctive or other equitable relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.4(b), no Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding any other provision, for the absence of doubt, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates nor, after the date hereof, the Acquired Companies shall have any rights with respect to any claim by a Governmental Body against Seller or any of its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Companies) with respect to its or their Taxes, it being understood that this Section 7.4 shall govern all Third Party Claims for Taxes for which Seller would be liable under this Agreement.

(c)Assumption of Defense by Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.4(b) or does not deliver notice of its election to assume the defense within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party (unless earlier notice is reasonably necessary to respond in a timely manner to such Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall give such earlier notice to the Indemnified Party), or in the event that any of the conditions specified in clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 7.4(b) is or becomes unsatisfied (i) the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it (at its cost and expense); provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for one law firm) to the extent such costs and expenses are indemnifiable Losses hereunder, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Agreement (including this Article VII).

(d)Direct Claims. If the matter specified in the notice provided in Section 7.4(a) relates to any claim, action, cause of action, demand, lawsuit, arbitration, inquiry, audit, notice of violation, proceeding, litigation, citation, summons, subpoena or investigation of any nature, civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or otherwise, whether at law or in equity by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such Claim Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct 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. If

the Indemnifying Party in its response to such Direct Claim contests the payment of all or part of the amount claimed, then the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute.

(a)Inconsistencies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of Buyer and the Seller Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement shall be limited in the manner set out in this Section 7.5. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 7.5 and any other provision of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Section 7.5 shall prevail.

(b)Limitation of Damages. NEITHER BUYER, SELLER NOR EAGLE MATERIALS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit a Person’s ability to recover any such Losses actually paid to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party shall have any right to assert any claim against any Indemnifying Party with respect to any Loss, cause of action or other claim to the extent such alleged Loss is a possible or potential Loss, cause of action or claim the Indemnified Party believes may be asserted rather than an actual Loss, cause of action or claim that has been paid or incurred by, or asserted in writing against, such Indemnified Party.

(c)Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 2.3, Section 6.10 and Section 8.3, as expressly set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or with respect to claims involving Fraud, following the Closing, the remedies provided in this Article VII shall be the sole recourse of the Parties for all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Transactions.

(d)Calculation of Losses. The amount of any claims for Losses subject to indemnification by any Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered by any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing) under any third party, representation and warranty or other indemnity provisions and insurance policies, taking into account any deductible or retention amount paid or payable by any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company). Buyer and Seller agree, as applicable, to make or cause to be made all commercially reasonable claims for indemnification or insurance under such third party indemnification provisions or insurance policies that may be applicable to the matter giving rise to the indemnification claim hereunder.

(e)Gross Negligence and Willful Misconduct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII to the extent any Losses were attributable to such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f)No Duplication. Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Seller Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent (i) Buyer has otherwise been compensated by reason of adjustments (pursuant to Section 2.3) in the calculation of the Closing Purchase Price relative to what it would have been absent such Loss, (ii) a specific

liability or reserve relating to such matter has been included in the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount (pursuant to Section 2.3) or (iii) for a current liability of the type included in Working Capital.

(g)Subrogation. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers in respect of any claim by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement. If Buyer obtains representation and warranty insurance, it will not contain any subrogation rights against Seller or its Affiliates other than with respect to claims for Fraud. Promptly following a request by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will take all reasonably necessary, proper or desirable actions to accomplish the foregoing at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense.

. All indemnification payments under this Article VII will be deemed adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. For purposes of determining (a) whether there has been any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty and/or (b) the amount of Losses resulting therefrom, in either case, all qualifications or exceptions in any representation or warranty relating to or referring to the terms “material”, “materiality”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or phrase shall be disregarded and the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall be read as if such terms and phrases were not included in them; provided, however, that clauses (a) and (b) shall not apply with respect to Section 4.6(b)(i) and the terms “Material Contracts” and “Material Company IP Agreements,” and clause (a) shall not apply to Section 4.5, Sections 4.9(a)(iii), (vi), (vii), (xi) and (xiii), Section 4.10(a) and Section 4.22.

. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions.

(a)This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the Parties hereto (i) submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such dispute, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County, in the event any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out

of this Agreement or the Transactions, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Legal Proceeding, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such Legal Proceeding, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County. Each Party agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such Legal Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 8.6.

(b)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. Each Party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.2(b).

. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or were threatened to be not performed, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to this Section 8.3, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule and Buyer Disclosure Schedule and exhibits hereto and thereto), the Ancillary Agreements (and the exhibits and schedules thereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written agreement signed by all Parties hereto. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

. Unless otherwise expressly provided, for purposes of this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:

(a)Calculation of Time Period. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c)Exhibits/Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement.

(d)Headings. The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to any “Article” or “Section” are to the corresponding Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(e)Usage. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. All terms defined in this Agreement in their singular or plural forms have correlative meanings when used in this Agreement in their plural or singular forms, respectively. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” do not limit the preceding words or terms and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” All references to real property rights, or rights in real property, shall be deemed to include water rights for purposes of Sections 4.6(b)(x), 4.17, 4.22(g), 4.22(h), 4.22(i), 5.9 and 6.14.

(f)No Drafting Presumptions. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when transmitted by electronic mail to the address set out below for such recipient if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice, demand or other communication by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (c) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses (or to such other address as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):

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

. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted

assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement, except that (a) the Indemnified Directors and Officers are express third-party beneficiaries of Section 6.6, (b) the Related Parties of the Parties (and, in the case of any Ancillary Agreement, the applicable parties thereto) are express third-party beneficiaries of Section 8.11 and (c) the Seller Releasees and Buyer Releasees are express third-party beneficiaries of Section 8.13(a) and Section 8.13(b), respectively. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any Party, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto (which may be withheld in their sole discretion) and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, that, in connection with the Spin-Off, without the consent of Buyer, Eagle Materials may assign all rights and obligations under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party to the publicly traded entity resulting from the Spin-Off. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the assigning Party hereto of any such obligations.

. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed and delivered by electronic communications by portable document format (.pdf), each of which shall be deemed an original.

. The Company Disclosure Schedule and Buyer Disclosure Schedule have been arranged for purposes of convenience only, in sections corresponding to the Sections of Article II, Article III, Article IV, Article V and Article VI, as applicable. Any exception or qualification set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule with respect to a particular representation or warranty contained in Article IV or Article V of this Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to be an exception or qualification with respect to those other representations and warranties contained in Article IV or Article V of this Agreement, as applicable, to which the relevance of such exception or qualification is reasonably apparent. To the extent that any representation or warranty contained in Article IV or Article V of this Agreement is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given, the inclusion of any matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, does not constitute a determination by Seller that such matters are material. In addition, under no circumstances shall the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, where a representation or warranty in Article IV or Article V of this Agreement, as applicable, is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given imply that any other undisclosed matter having a greater value or other significance is material.

. Any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions may only be brought against Persons that are expressly named as Parties (and, in the case of any Ancillary Agreement, the applicable parties thereto), and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein. Other than the Parties (and, in the case of any Ancillary Agreement, the applicable parties thereto), no Related Party of any Party (or the applicable party to any Ancillary Agreement), and no Related Party of a Related Party shall have any liability or obligation for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations or liabilities of any party under this

Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or for any Legal Proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions, in each case, whether based on Contract, tort, fraud, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise and whether by piercing the corporate veil, by a claim by or on behalf of a party or another Person or otherwise.

(a)It is acknowledged by each Party that each of Seller, the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates have retained Sidley Austin LLP and Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP (collectively, “Seller Counsel”) to act as their counsel in connection with the Transactions and the Ancillary Agreements. The Parties hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, any Acquired Company, and/or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, Seller Counsel may represent Seller and its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of Seller and its Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Acquired Companies or their respective Affiliates, and even though Seller Counsel may have represented an Acquired Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their Affiliates. Buyer further agrees that, as to all communications among Seller Counsel, Seller, any Acquired Company, and/or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of them, that relate primarily to the Transactions and the Ancillary Agreements (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates. The Privileged Communications are the property of Seller, and from and after the Closing, none of the Acquired Companies, their Affiliates, or any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through any Acquired Company or its Affiliates will seek to obtain such communications, whether by seeking a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or through other means. As to any such Privileged Communications made prior to the Closing, Buyer and the Acquired Companies, together with any of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, further agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any Legal Proceeding against or involving any of the Parties after the Closing. The Privileged Communications may be used by Seller in connection with any dispute that relates in any way to the Transactions and the Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their Affiliates and any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement, each Acquired Company and its Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Seller Counsel, or any of them, to such non-Party or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that none of the Acquired Companies nor their Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller.

(b)Subject to Section 8.12(a), Seller agrees to provide a waiver of conflicts to the extent necessary for Buyer to engage Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP following the Closing with respect to the Yuba Goldfields and related matters so long as such engagement (i) is unrelated to the Transaction or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (ii) does not involve, concern or relate to any matter, including any adverse proceeding, between Buyer, any Acquired Company, and/or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand.

(a)Buyer, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies), and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and completely waives and releases and forever discharges Seller, its Affiliates and each of their respective Related Parties and their respective successors and assigns (such released Persons, the “Seller Releasees”), in each case, from all demands, proceedings, causes of action, suits, accounts, covenants, Contracts, agreements, Losses and other Liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, both in law and in equity, arising out of or related to events, circumstances or actions taken by the Seller Releasees (including the Acquired Companies) occurring or failing to occur, in each case, at or prior to the Closing. Buyer shall not make, and Buyer shall not permit any of its Affiliates to make, any claim or demand, or commence any proceeding asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any of the Seller Releasees with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to this Section 8.13(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.13(a) shall not constitute a release from, waiver of, or otherwise affect (i) any rights of Buyer or its Affiliates under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Liability expressly contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other transaction document to be in effect between Seller and Buyer (or their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, or any enforcement thereof, (ii) any rights of Buyer or its Affiliates under any supply or other agreements between Seller and Buyer (or their respective Affiliates) entered into in the ordinary course of business and described on Section 8.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or any enforcement thereof, (iii) claims against Seller for Fraud or (iv) any right of any Buyer Indemnified Party under Article VII.

(b)Seller, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies), and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and completely waives and releases and forever discharges the Acquired Companies and their respective successors and assigns (such released Persons, the “Buyer Releasees”), in each case, from all demands, proceedings, causes of action, suits, accounts, covenants, Contracts, agreements, Losses and other Liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, both in law and in equity, arising out of or related to events, circumstances or actions taken by the Buyer Releasees occurring or failing to occur, in each case, at or prior to the Closing. Seller shall not make, and Seller shall not permit any of its Affiliates to make, any claim or demand, or commence any proceeding asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any of the Buyer Releasees with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to this Section 8.13(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.13(b) shall not constitute a release from, waiver of, or otherwise affect (i) any rights of Seller or its Affiliates under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Liability expressly contemplated by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other transaction document to be in effect between Seller and Buyer (or their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, or any enforcement thereof, (ii) any rights of Seller or its Affiliates under any supply or other agreements between Seller and Buyer (or their respective Affiliates) entered into in the ordinary course of business and described on Section 8.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or any enforcement thereof, (iii) claims against Buyer for Fraud or (iv) any right of any Seller Indemnified Party under Article VII.
