PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 19th
day of August, 2010 (hereinafter the “date of this Agreement”), by VANDERCAR,
LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and THE KIRK & BLUM
MANUFACTURING COMPANY, an Ohio corporation (“Seller”).

In exchange for the mutual agreements contained herein, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

1. Property. Seller agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, on the terms and
subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the land depicted on
EXHIBIT “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof, known as 3120 Forrer Street,
Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, which contains approximately 10.7298 acres,
together with all buildings, improvements, fixtures, plumbing, hvac, mechanical,
electrical and other operating systems located thereon and therein, and together
with any and all appurtenant rights and easements pertaining thereto, including,
without limitation any and all rights and interests of Seller in and to all
roads, alleys, easements, streets and ways upon or adjacent to such land, rights
of ingress and egress thereto, and any strips and gores within or bounding the
land (collectively the “Property”). There shall also be included with the
Property all of Seller’s rights in and to all contractual rights, if any, with
respect to the operation, maintenance, repair and improvement of the land,
buildings, structures and improvements thereon, including service and
maintenance agreements, utility agreements, and other contractual arrangements,
and warranties of any contractor, manufacturer or materialmen, if any.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller, at its sole discretion, may remove, any
machinery, equipment, inventory, personal property, furniture, furnishings, and
cranes, conveyors or conveyor systems, compressors or compressor systems,
currently located upon the Property and used by Seller in the operation of
Sellers’ business, excepting the Systems (as hereinafter defined), and any and
all such items that Seller elects to remove pursuant to this Section 1
(collectively, “Excluded Property”) shall be excluded from the Property. Seller,
in removing such cranes, conveyors, conveyor systems, compressors and compressor
systems, agrees to do so with all reasonable caution and in a manner so as to
minimize any damage to all other plumbing, hvac and electrical systems. The
basic components of the plumbing, hvac and electrical systems located at the
Property (i.e., hvac units and ductwork, electrical runs and plumbing lines),
excluding any step-down transformers, switchgear or other specialized components
or systems installed or used by or on behalf of Seller for or in the operation
of its business, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Systems”. The
parties hereto acknowledge that Purchaser requires as a condition of this
Purchase Agreement that the Systems remain available to Purchaser and/or
prospective tenants for future business operations therein. Purchaser agrees
that Purchaser shall be accepting such Systems and Property in their current
condition and that Seller makes no representations or warranties to Purchaser
concerning the operating condition of Systems or the condition of the Property.

2. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price (“Purchase Price”) for the Property shall
be Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,800,000.00) if the Closing
takes place on or before November 3, 2010, Two Million Nine Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($2,900,000.00) if the Closing takes place between November 3, 2010 and
November 30, 2010, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000,00) if the Closing takes
place between December 1, 2010 and December 15, 2010 or Three Million One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,100,000.00) if the Closing takes places between
December 16, 2010 and December 31, 2010. The Purchase Price shall be payable as
follows:

(a) Within five (5) business days of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall
deposit with the Title Company (hereinafter defined), in a strict joint order
escrow, earnest money in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00)
(“Earnest Money Deposit”), which Earnest Money Deposit is refundable during the
Inspection Period and non-refundable to Purchaser for any reason after the
expiration of the Inspection Period, but which Earnest Money Deposit will be
applied against the Purchase Price at the Closing as set forth in Paragraph 2(b)
below; and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b) The applicable Purchase Price, plus or minus the credits or prorations
provided for by the terms of this Agreement less the Earnest Money Deposit
previously paid to Seller, shall be paid by certified or cashier’s check, Title
Company escrow check, or by wire of immediately available funds at Closing.

3. Conveyance. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed
and acknowledged limited warranty deed (the “Deed”) conveying to Purchaser
recordable, marketable, and indefeasible title to the Property in fee simple,
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, of record and in fact, subject
only to the following (“Permitted Exceptions”): (a) easements, encumbrances and
restrictions of record (but, in any event, Seller shall be required to remove
all mortgages and other monetary liens, except for real estate taxes and
installments of assessments not yet due and payable); (b) installments of real
estate taxes and assessments which are a lien upon the Property, but not yet due
and payable; (c) Seller’s post Closing occupancy rights as described herein; and
(d) the rights of property owners in and to private roadways pursuant to
recorded documents, public highways, public right of ways and rights of the
public to utilize streets.

4. Property Inspection. Purchaser shall have the right to conduct an
inspection(s) of those matters and items set forth in subsections 4(a),(b) and
(c) below herein, at Purchaser’s sole expense, for a period of sixty (60) days
from the date of this Agreement (the “Inspection Period”). During the Inspection
Period Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in such inspections and shall make
the Property available for inspections by Purchaser, its’ agents and employees.
If Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole judgment, shall find such inspection(s) to be
unsatisfactory for any reason or for no reason, Purchaser shall have the right,
at its option, to be exercised not later than the expiration of the Inspection
Period, to elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and the
Escrow Agent, and, upon such election, all Earnest Money shall be immediately
refunded to Purchaser and, thereupon, the parties hereto shall have no further
liabilities one to the other (other than those that are expressly stated to
survive the termination of this Agreement). If Purchaser fails to give Seller
notice of its decision to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration
of the Inspection Period by written notice to Seller and the Escrow Agent,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the items set forth in 4(a), (b) and
(c) below herein, and to have waived same as conditions precedent to Closing.

(a) Physical, Mechanical and Environmental Inspection. Purchaser shall have the
right during the Inspection Period, at Purchasers’ expense, upon twenty-four
(24) hours prior notice to Seller, to perform or have performed a physical,
mechanical and environmental inspection of the Property as Purchaser deems
necessary to determine the physical condition of the Property, including the
feasibility of Purchaser’s use of the Property, including the adequacy and
availability of all utility, sanitary sewer, communications, water, and storm
sewer services and facilities, and including whether or not hazardous materials
exist at the Property. Seller shall provide to Purchaser within five (5) days of
the date of this Agreement copies of all environmental reports and other written
material(s), if any, in Seller’s possession relating to the Property and the
determination as to whether or not any hazardous materials or environmental
substances exist at the Property. Purchaser agrees to restore the Property to
its original condition upon completion of any such inspections, and to indemnify
Seller against all damages incurred by Seller as a result of the entry upon the
Property by Purchaser’s agents or employees. Purchaser shall, promptly after
receipt, provide Seller with copies of all inspection reports regarding the
physical condition of the Property as generated pursuant to this Paragraph.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b) Title and Survey. On or before fifteen (15) days after the date of this
Agreement, Seller shall obtain and provide to Purchaser a title insurance
commitment (“Title Commitment”) with respect to the Property from Mercantile
Title Agency, Inc. (the “Title Company”) for a standard form ALTA Owners Title
Insurance Policy covering the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price,
together with copies of all recorded instruments referred to in the title
commitment. In addition, Seller shall obtain and provide to Purchaser its most
recent survey of the Property (the “Survey”).

(c) Title Defects. Purchaser shall have until the end of the Inspection Period
to examine the condition of title and the Survey of the Property and to approve
or disapprove the same. Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller of any
objection(s) to title or Survey (collectively called “Title Defects” or
individually a “Title Defect”) on or prior to thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s
receipt of the Title Commitment and Survey. On or before ten (10) days after
Seller’s receipt of written notice of any Title Defect, Seller shall notify
Purchaser in writing whether or not Seller intends to cure such Title Defect. If
Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller intends to cure any Title
Defect, then Seller shall do so at its expense prior to Closing. If Seller
notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller is unwilling or unable to remove any
Title Defect, then Purchaser may, at its option, (i) agree to waive such defects
and proceed to close the purchase of the Property as-is; or (ii) terminate this
Agreement. If Seller fails to respond to the Title Defect in writing within the
specified time period, then Seller shall be deemed to have notified Purchaser
that it is unwilling or unable to cure the Title Defect and Purchaser shall have
the same options described in the immediately preceding sentence. Purchaser
shall elect option (i) or (ii) above by written notice to Seller on or before
the Closing Date. If Purchaser fails to elect either option as provided herein,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (i). If Purchaser terminates
this Agreement pursuant to provisions of this sub-paragraph both parties shall
be released from all further obligations hereunder.

5. Closing; Possession. The parties hereto agree, subject to satisfaction of the
conditions precedent to Closing set forth in Section 4 and 6 herein, to close
the purchase and sale of the Property (the “Closing”) on or before December 31,
2010 or on such earlier date as shall be directed by Purchaser. The Closing will
take place in the offices of Purchaser’s counsel. Purchaser shall have the right
to move the Closing to an earlier date upon at least seven (7) days prior
written notice to Seller. Seller shall at the Closing execute and deliver such
other documents or instruments as may be reasonably required by Purchaser, or
required by other provisions of this Agreement, or reasonably necessary to
effectuate the Closing, including, without limitation, the Deed as required by
this Agreement, a commercially reasonable title affidavit, such proof of
authority as may reasonably be requested, a general bill of sale assigning,
transferring and conveying to Purchaser the Systems and other improvements
located at the Property, exclusive, however, of the Excluded Property, which
Seller shall be entitled to remove from the Property in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1 of this Purchase Agreement, and a closing statement.
Purchaser shall deliver the portion of the Purchase Price due at Closing
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and execute and deliver such other
documents or instruments as may reasonably be required by Seller to effectuate
the Closing, including, without limitation, a closing statement. Possession
shall be delivered ninety (90) days after Closing (“Possession Date”); provided,
however, that in the event that Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller is
exercising its Lease Option (as hereinafter defined) or is deemed hereby to have
exercised its Lease Option with respect to the K&B Technic Building and/or the
Components Building, as the case may be, in accordance with the lease provisions
set forth below, then the parties hereto (or their respective designees) shall
execute and deliver at Closing a written Lease Agreement, the Term of which
(including the payment of rent) shall commence as of the first day after the
date of Closing. Until the Possession Date, Seller shall be permitted to remain
in full possession of the Property, subject, however, to the terms and
conditions of any Lease Agreement executed by the parties with respect to the
K&B Technic Building and/or the Components Building, as applicable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Purchaser hereby grants Seller the right to lease back from Purchaser at Closing
one or more of the buildings (but not just a portion of any building) on the
Property (the “Leased Premises”) for a one year period (“Term”) beginning on the
first day after the day of Closing (“Lease Option”) at a rate of $1.00 per
square foot of space contained in each building. Furthermore, any such lease
shall contain an option, exercisable by Seller in its sole discretion at any
time during the Term, to extend the Term up to an additional three (3) months on
the same terms and conditions and at the same rental rate that existed for the
initial Term of such lease. If Seller fails to notify the Purchaser whether it
intends to exercise the Lease Option on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall
be deemed to have exercised the Lease Option as to the K&B Technic Building and
the Components Building. Such lease shall be a triple-net lease and Seller shall
be responsible for paying all real estate taxes, insurance costs, utility costs
and other occupancy and operation costs for the Leased Premises, on a pro rata
basis (if the Leased Premises contains less than all of the buildings located on
the Property) during its period of occupancy. Seller acknowledges and agrees
that Seller shall be leasing the Leased Premises from Purchaser at Closing in
its “as-is” condition and further agrees that Purchaser shall have no obligation
to perform any maintenance or to make any repairs or replacements of any nature
or kind to the Leased Premises during the term of such lease, including, but not
limited to, the roof and roof systems, walls, footers, foundations, Systems, or
floors. Notwithstanding, Seller shall have no obligation to undertake such
maintenance or repairs. Prior to Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate
and execute a lease agreement reflecting such rights and obligations. Seller
shall cause an initial draft of the form of lease to be drafted by its counsel
and delivered to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days of the date of this
Agreement. Seller shall, prior to the date occupancy is to be delivered to
Purchaser, subject, however to the provisions of Section 1 herein, remove all of
its furniture, furnishings, tools, materials, supplies, unattached equipment,
cranes, conveyors and conveyor systems from the Leased Premises that Seller
desires to remove and any such items remaining after such date may be disposed
by Purchaser in any manner it desires; provided, however, in all circumstances,
that Seller shall cause all barrels, drums, cans, or similar or other containers
located on the Property containing any chemicals, cleaning agents, solvents,
hazardous materials, or environmental substances to be removed from the Property
and Leased Premises at Seller’s sole expense. Both parties agree to negotiate in
good faith in order to enter into the above described lease.

6. Purchaser’s Conditions.

(a) Purchaser’s Conditions. In addition to those conditions precedent to Closing
set forth in Section 4 herein, the obligation of Purchaser to perform is subject
to satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to Closing,
which may be waived solely by Purchaser. Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole
option and election, terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, if
any of these conditions are not satisfied in Purchaser’s sole judgment and
discretion, to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction.

i. Performance by Seller. Seller shall have not breached any warranty contained
in this Agreement nor shall Seller have failed to perform any obligation
required by this Agreement to be performed by Seller.

ii. Title Policy. The Title Company shall have irrevocably committed itself to
issue a title policy with no new exceptions other than the exceptions to title
set forth in Schedule B-II of the commitment, with all standard and general
exceptions deleted or endorsed over so as to afford full “extended form
coverage”, subject only to the requirement that Seller execute and deliver the
documents required hereunder, and any Title Defects described in Paragraph 4
shall have been removed or waived, and no additional Title Defects shall arise
prior to the date of Closing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

iii. Lease Agreement. If Seller has exercised (or is deemed hereby to have
exercised) its Lease Option, then Seller and Purchaser shall have agreed upon
and to the terms of lease setting forth each party’s respective rights and
obligations respecting the leased premises, which such terms shall be consistent
with the terms of lease set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.

(b) Seller’s Conditions. The obligations of Seller to perform under this
Agreement are subject to satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or
before the date of Closing which may be waived by Seller in its sole discretion.
Seller may terminate this Agreement without liability by written notice to
Purchaser if any of these conditions are not satisfied to Seller’s sole
satisfaction.

i. Agreement as to Seller’s Post-Closing Possession. Seller and Purchaser shall
have agreed to the terms of the lease setting forth Seller’s post-closing
possessory rights and obligations.

ii. Purchaser’s Performance. Purchaser shall have tendered the Purchase Price to
the extent due at Closing, and shall have fully performed all of its obligations
under this Agreement reasonably and necessarily required to be performed prior
to Closing.

iii. Lease Agreement. If Seller has exercised (or is deemed hereby to have
exercised) its Lease Option, then Seller and Purchaser shall have agreed upon
and to the terms of lease setting forth each party’s respective rights and
obligations respecting the leased premises, which such terms shall be consistent
with the terms of lease set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.

7. Failure to Close. If Seller defaults in any of its obligations hereunder, or
if any of Seller’s representations and warranties made in this Agreement prove
to be untrue, then Purchaser shall have the right to seek specific performance
as Purchaser’s sole remedy. If Purchaser fails to close as required by this
Agreement, then Seller’s sole and exclusive right and remedy shall be to retain
the Earnest Money Deposit paid by Purchaser as liquidated damages, the parties
acknowledging and agreeing that Seller’s actual damages could be difficult if
not impossible to ascertain, but retention of the Earnest Money Deposit is
agreed to be a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages in the event Purchaser
fails to close.

8. Real Estate Taxes and Other Prorations. Real estate taxes and current
installments of assessments applicable to the Property for the year in which the
Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the date of Closing, based upon the most
recently issued tax bills, with Purchaser receiving a credit at such Closing for
the real estate taxes charged for such parcel for the time period prior to such
Closing. If the Property is subject to any assessments, then such assessments
shall be likewise prorated at the Closing. The lease shall provide that Seller
shall be responsible for all taxes and assessments on the Leased Premises
charged for the period of time that Seller occupies the Leased Premises.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9. Eminent Domain or Casualty. If all or any portion of the Property is taken or
is made subject to eminent domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings
prior to the Closing, then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, and
Purchaser may either complete the Closing and receive the proceeds paid or
payable on account of such acquisition proceedings, including any right to
receive the same, or terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, and
in such event, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder. If any of the buildings or improvements are damaged or destroyed
prior to Closing by fire or any other casualty, then Purchaser shall proceed to
Closing and receive the insurance proceeds paid or payable on account of such
damage or destruction, including any rights to receive the same.

10. Agreements, Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents,
warrants, and covenants to Purchaser, and shall be deemed to remake all such
representations, warranties, and covenants as of the date of the Closing, that,
to Seller’s actual knowledge (being defined as the actual knowledge of Seller’s
senior officers), entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the sale
of the Property will not require Seller to obtain (either before or after the
Closing) any consent, license, permit, wavier, approval, authorization or any
other action of, by, or with respect to any non-governmental or governmental
person or entity. Each person executing and delivering this Agreement and all
documents to be executed and delivered by Seller at the Closing represents and
warrants to Purchaser that he or she has due and proper authority to execute and
deliver same, and that Seller has the full right, power and authority to sell
and convey the Property to Purchaser as provided herein and to carry out its’
obligations hereunder. The consummation by Seller of the transaction which is
the subject of this Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of
any of the terms of any agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by
which Seller is bound or constitute a default thereunder, and, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, the
Board of Directors of Sellers shall have approved and authorized, on or prior to
the date of the Closing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
transaction which is the subject of this Agreement, and all documents to be
executed and delivered by Seller at Closing pursuant to this Agreement; it being
the understanding of the parties that the foregoing representation and warranty
to have obtained such Board approval and authorization on or prior to the date
of the Closing is not, and shall not be deemed, a condition precedent to
Seller’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereunder, and Seller
acknowledges that it may not rely upon such representation and warranty as a
basis for refusing to close under this Agreement. No other party has any right
to purchase the Property, or any part thereof, and there are no outstanding or
enforceable (recorded or unrecorded) rights of first refusal or options to
purchase the Property held, enforceable by or benefiting any third parties.

11. Agreements, Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser
represents, warrants and covenants to Seller, and shall be deemed to remake all
such representations, warranties and covenants as of the date of the Closing,
that, to Purchaser’s actual knowledge (being defined as the actual knowledge of
Purchaser’s senior officers), entering into this Agreement and the consummation
of the purchase of the Property will not require Purchaser to obtain (either
before or after the Closing) any consent, license, permit, waiver, approval,
authorization or any other action of, by or with respect to any non-governmental
or governmental person or entity. Purchaser is authorized, and the person
signing on behalf of Purchaser is authorized, to execute and deliver this
Agreement and all documents contemplated hereby, and both the Purchaser and the
person signing on behalf of Purchaser have the full right, power and authority
to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The truth and
accuracy of the preceding representations, warranties and covenants shall be
conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to close under this Agreement.

15. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement and the Exhibits attached
hereto constitute the entire contract between the parties and supersede all
prior understandings, if any. Any subsequent conditions, representations,
warranties, or agreements shall not be valid and binding upon the parties unless
in writing and signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be binding on and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and
assigns. Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to an entity
formed to take title to the Property at Closing, provided Purchaser remains
obligated to perform all of its obligations hereunder and is not released from
such obligations by virtue of such assignment. Without limiting Purchaser’s
right to assign this Agreement to any other party, Seller specifically
acknowledges that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any related or
affiliated entity or to an intermediary in connection with a like kind exchange
under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and Seller consents to such
assignment and agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in completing such assignment,
provided however, that Purchaser hereby indemnifies Seller from all costs or
expenses incurred by Seller solely on account of this transaction being
structured as a like-kind exchange. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that
Seller may assign this Agreement to any related affiliated entity or to any
intermediary in connection with a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code and Purchaser consents to such assignment and agrees to
cooperate with Seller in completing such assignment and like-kind exchange
provided, however, that Seller shall indemnify Purchaser from all costs or
expenses incurred by Purchaser solely on account of this transaction being
structured as a like-kind exchange.

(b) Original Document. This Agreement may be executed by both parties in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of such
counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

16. New State Taxes. If, prior to Closing, new Ohio state sales or services
types of taxes are imposed such that the real estate commissions paid under this
Agreement are taxed thereby, then Seller shall pay such taxes at Closing.

17. Non-Waiver. A waiver by either party hereto of any of the covenants,
conditions or agreements contained herein to be performed by the other party
shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any
other covenant, condition or agreement herein contained.

18. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to all dates and
timeframes in this transaction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

19. Restriction on Transfer. Purchaser agrees not to, except in accordance with
the provisions of Section 15 above herein, assign this Agreement or transfer the
Property, whether before or after Closing, until such time as Purchaser has
satisfied all of its obligations under this Agreement (including acting or
causing its designee to act as landlord under the lease referenced in Paragraph
5) without Seller’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned so long as the assignee, transferee or designee
agrees, in writing, to fulfill all of Purchaser’s outstanding obligations under
this Agreement; provided, however, Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any of
its affiliated companies or to an entity formed by Purchaser to take title at
Closing to the Property without the necessity of obtaining Seller’s prior
consent provided Purchaser remains responsible for satisfying or causing to be
satisfied all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, Purchaser and/or its designee executing and delivering at
Closing the lease with respect to the K&B Technic Building and the Components
Building as provided for and in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of
this Agreement). Purchaser agrees that Seller may, at or after Closing, record
an affidavit of facts in the real property records of the Hamilton County
Recorder’s Office to memorialize Purchaser’s obligations under this Paragraph
19, provided, however that Seller agrees to and shall be obligated to remove
such affidavit from the real property records at or before the expiration of the
post-Closing occupancy period.
