Section 15(b) of this Agreement based upon (i) a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained in this Agreement, (ii) a breach of any covenant by Sellers set forth in this Agreement or
(iii) a material adverse change with respect to the Company, in any case that either (i) has occurred on or after the delivery by Buyer of such written confirmation or (ii) was not actually known by Buyer’s executive officers at
the time of delivery by Buyer of such written confirmation.

 (h) the Company’s original minute book and stock records; 

(i) evidence of the termination of the Buy-Sell Agreement among the Company and its shareholders;

 Section 11. COVENANTS OF SELLERS AFTER CLOSING 
 Sellers covenant to Buyer as follows: 
 Business Relations. After the
Closing, Sellers will cooperate with Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to preserve the Company’s relations and goodwill with the customers, suppliers, lessors, creditors, employees, agents, and other business relations of the Company that existed
before the Closing. 







 Warranty Obligations. Following the Closing Date, Buyer will cause the Company to
perform all warranty obligations with respect to products manufactured and sold by the Company prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the warranties issued in connection with such sales (the “Warranty Obligations”). Products
will be deemed to be “manufactured and sold” prior to the Closing Date if such products were completed, sold and shipped prior to the Closing Date. Products that were not completed prior to the Closing Date or were in raw materials or work
in process Inventory or were not shipped shall not be deemed to have been manufactured and sold prior to the Closing Date and any warranty obligations with respect to such products shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Following the Closing
Date, Sellers will reimburse and indemnify Buyer for all direct out-of-pocket costs incurred in performing such Warranty Obligations (less the amount of any provision or reserve therefor reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet). Buyer will cause the
Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Warranty Obligations in the most cost effective manner, utilizing personnel familiar with the subject product. The obligations of Sellers under this Section 11.2 shall survive
the Closing for eighteen (18) months and shall be subject to the terms of Section 14.3. 

Confidentiality. 
 (a) Commencing on the date hereof and continuing for a period of five (5) years thereafter, the Sellers will not (i) divulge, transmit or otherwise disclose (except as requested or required by
Law, after prompt notice to Buyer of any such request or requirement), directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information with respect to the Company, (ii) use, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone
other than the Company and (iii) take any action to disparage Buyer, the Company or their respective Affiliates, personnel or customers, and will refrain from any tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of the Company.

 (b) It is the desire and intent of the parties to this Agreement that the provisions of this Section 11.3 will be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provisions or portion of this Section 11.3 is adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable, this Section 11.3 will be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of such Section in the
particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. 
 (c) The parties recognize that the performance of the obligations
under this Section 11.3 by the Sellers is special, unique and extraordinary in character, and that in the event of the breach by any Seller of the terms and conditions of this Section 11.3, Buyer and/or the Company will be
entitled, if they so elect, to obtain damages for any breach of this Section 11.3 or to enforce the specific performance thereof by the breaching Seller(s). 
 Environmental Cleanup. 
 (a) Sellers shall be responsible for addressing
and managing any judicial or administrative proceedings in connection with the release of a Hazardous Substance into the environment by the Company where the alleged release occurred prior to the Closing (“Environmental Proceedings”),
including but not limited to the on-going environmental cleanup project at the Company’s Leased Real Property pursuant to the Voluntary Cleanup Program Letter of Agreement, dated February 21, 2002, entered into between the Company and the
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”), and in a manner consistent with the final Record of Decision, dated August 22, 2012. Sellers, and their designees (attorneys and environmental consultants selected by the
Sellers’ Representative), shall have the right to control such Environmental Proceedings, provided, however, that upon Buyer’s request, Sellers or their designees shall consult with Buyer’s representatives regarding the management and
status of the Environmental Proceedings, and provide Buyer’s representatives with copies of any documentation associated with the Environmental Proceedings. Sellers agree to manage and conduct the Environmental Proceedings in a manner so as not
to unreasonably disrupt Buyer’s operation of the Company at the Real Property following the Closing Date, and if requested, will undertake reasonable alternative methods for addressing the environmental remediation at the Real Property, so long
as such action (i) is not unreasonably expensive, (ii) will not cause an unreasonable delay in addressing the Environmental Proceedings and (iii) is consistent with the requirements of the overseeing Governmental Authority and
recommendations of Sellers’ environmental consultants. Sellers shall include Buyer’s representatives in all material meetings with any Governmental Authority regarding the Environmental Proceedings. Sellers will be responsible for
managing, undertaking and overseeing all necessary actions (including, but not limited to, obtaining and maintaining all necessary governmental Permits and/or authorizations, engaging all third-party contractors and professionals directly; ensuring
that all third-party contractors and professionals maintain adequate insurance coverage, etc.), in order to effectuate Closure of the Environmental Proceedings. 







 (b) Buyer will work cooperatively with Sellers to negotiate with any of the Company’s
carriers under the historic comprehensive general liability excess and umbrella policies listed in Schedule 11.4 (the “Environmental Policies” and each “Environmental Policy”) for reimbursement of the costs and expenses
associated with the Environmental Proceeding. Upon Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable written request, Buyer agrees to cause the Company to retain counsel, mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, to institute
insurance coverage litigation against any of the Company’s carriers under the Environmental Policies for reimbursement of costs and expenses associated with the Environmental Proceedings, so long as (i) a good faith basis exists to do so,
(ii) it does not detrimentally affect the business, operations or assets of the Company in any material respect and (iii) all litigation costs are borne by the Sellers and not Buyer or the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
insurance coverage litigation is instituted at the request of Sellers’ Representative with regard to the Environmental Policies, and such litigation results in a prevailing judgment or settlement that includes either (i) the recovery of
reasonable attorney fees or (ii) a result in excess of the total amount expended to obtain Closure, Sellers’ will be entitled to reimbursement by the Company in an amount up to, and including, Seller’s reasonable attorneys’ fees
for such coverage litigation, subject to evidence of such fees being provided to the Company. The Company will consent to a written request by Sellers to enter into settlement agreements and policy buy-backs with one or more of the Environmental
Policy carriers in order to facilitate the reimbursement of the Company for the costs incurred in connection with the Environmental Proceedings so long as such request is reasonable and does not detrimentally affect the business, operations or
assets of the Company in any material respect. 
 (c) Buyer shall cause the Company to submit within 30 days of receipt, any
invoices which are associated with the Environmental Proceeding (including, but not limited to, invoices for DEQ oversight costs, reasonable professional fees, etc.), to the Escrow Agent for payment from the Environmental Holdback Amount (and/or the
Holdback Amount if the Environmental Holdback Amount is depleted) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Environmental Escrow Agreement; and Buyer shall cause the Company to seek reimbursement for these same
invoice payments on a quarterly basis from the applicable insurance carriers under the Environmental Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, upon written approval by the DEQ that no further remedial action is
necessary with regard to the Environmental Proceeding with the exception of further monitoring requirements, the Buyer will release to the Sellers’ Representative any remaining balance of the Environmental Holdback Amount except for $1,000,000,
which will remain available to the Company to pay for any post-remedial monitoring and/or subsequent remedial activity required by DEQ in conjunction with the Environmental Proceedings. Upon written evidence from DEQ that Closure has been completely
satisfied, including any post-remedial monitoring (if any) and any subsequent remedial activity (if any), the remaining balance of the Environmental Holdback Amount shall be released to the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the Environmental Escrow Agreement. 







 (d) Any payments received by the Company from the applicable carriers under the
Environmental Policies, including payments from any settlements or policy buy-backs which were requested in writing by Sellers, shall be paid promptly by the Company to the Sellers’ Representatives, so long as (i) such insurance payments
correspond to an environmental expense already paid to the Company from the Environmental Holdback Amount (and/or from the Holdback Amount) that has not been previously reimbursed to the Sellers’ Representative or (ii) such payments from
the applicable insurance carriers were derived from a prevailing judgment or a settlement of insurance coverage litigation where the initial costs of the litigation were borne by the Sellers in accordance with Section 11.4(b) above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if before Closure the balance of the Environmental Holdback Amount falls below $1,000,000 at the time of any payment or payments from any applicable carrier under the Environmental Policies, Buyer shall retain such
portion of the payment or payments which would result in the balance of the Environmental Holdback Amount to equal $1,000,000 (the “Retained Amount”). If upon Closure any portion of the Retained Amount has not been expended, it will be
reimbursable to Sellers’ Representative. In the event that both the Environmental Holdback Amount and the Holdback Amount have been exhausted, but costs and expenses associated with the Environmental Proceedings still need to be paid in
conjunction with activities undertaken prior to issuance of Closure, or for further monitoring and/or remedial action in furtherance of Closure, the Company shall seek indemnification directly from the Sellers under Sections 14.2 and
14.3 of this Agreement, and contemporaneously work in good faith with Sellers’ Representative to seek reimbursement from the applicable insurance carriers under the Environmental Policies, if available. 

Additional SEC Filings. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, the Sellers will cooperate with the Buyer in
good faith, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s independent accountants to cooperate, with respect to any financial data relating to the Company required to be included in any registration statement or other
document or filing required in connection with any registration statement or other filing made by Buyer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Buyer will pay or reimburse, as the case may be, Sellers for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs
incurred in complying with this Section 11.5. 
 Further Assurances. Sellers will promptly take, or cause to
be taken, all reasonable actions, and promptly do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to effectuate the Transaction. 

Section 12. COVENANTS OF BUYER AND COMPANY AFTER CLOSING 
 Buyer and Company covenant to Sellers as follows: 
 Records. The Company
will retain the Company’s data and records for a period of not less than six years after the Closing Date. Subject to applicable Law, during the 6-year period and upon reasonable advance notice from any Seller, or the Sellers’
Representative, the Company will, during the Company’s regular business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Company’s business, afford the notifying party and the party’s
representatives reasonable access to the Company’s data and records. 
 Environmental Cleanup. Buyer and Company
will take all actions necessary to maintain the Environmental Policies that may provide coverage for environmental costs in connection with the Environmental Proceedings and any Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities, and they will not assign, settle
or release any insurance policies that may provide coverage for any costs or expenses related to Environmental Proceedings or any Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representatives.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Company hereby agree to the provisions set forth in Section 11.4; and in the event that Buyer sells or transfers control of the Company, or in the event of an asset sale or merger of the Company,
the Buyer and the Company will cause any successor in interest to agree to be bound by the provisions set forth in Sections 11.4 and 12.2. 







 12.3 Assignment of Delinquent Accounts Receivable. If a
Buyer’s Claim arises out of Section 4.12 because an account receivable is disputed by the account debtor or is not paid for any reason within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, then each such account
receivable shall be referred to as a “Delinquent Account” under this Agreement. Not later than the earlier of the one hundred thirtieth (130th) day after the Closing Date or the date on which Buyer asserts the Buyer’s Claim related to the Delinquent
Account against either the Threshold or Holdback Amount, Buyer shall assign to Sellers the Delinquent Account and all payments received by Buyer with respect thereto and shall provide to Sellers all correspondence and supporting documents related to
such Delinquent Account and any dispute related thereto. Sellers may take commercially reasonable collection action to collect each Delinquent Account; provided however, that Sellers will consult with Buyer prior to commencing litigation or
arbitration against the account debtor and shall not commence such litigation or arbitration if the account debtor is a current customer of the Company and such litigation or arbitration would, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer, be reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s relationship with such customer. 
 Section 13. TAX MATTERS

 13.1 Termination of Subchapter S Election. If the Closing occurs: 

(a) the Company’s election to be an S corporation will terminate as of the Closing Date; and 

(b) Sellers’ Representative will arrange and pay for a qualified certified public accounting firm to prepare the subchapter S Tax
return of the Company for the period ending on the Closing Date, and Buyer and Company will reasonably cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative and their accountant to provide the necessary financial information to permit the timely filing of
the final S corporation income Tax returns on behalf of the Company and the Sellers. 
 (c) Items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit shall be allocated between the S short year (as defined in Section 1362(e)(1)(A) of the Code) and the C short year (as defined in Section 1362(e)(1)(B) of the Code) pursuant to Sections 1362(e)(3) and 1362(e)(6) of the
Code. 
 13.2 Post-Closing Returns. Buyer shall, at Buyer’s expense, prepare or cause to be prepared, and file, or
cause to be filed, all Tax returns of the Company for all periods beginning after the Closing Date. 
 13.3 Pre-Closing
Returns. The Sellers’ Representative shall, at the Sellers’ expense, (i) prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax returns for the Company for periods ending prior to or including the Closing Date which
have not yet been filed as of the Closing Date; (ii) pay or cause to be paid all Tax reported, or required to be reported, on such Tax returns for such pre-Closing Tax returns; (iii) include any income or gain recognized as a result of
Section 13.8 in such pre-Closing Tax returns; and (iv) cause to be prepared all such Tax returns consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable law, provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all deductions related to or arising out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated as arising on or before the Closing Date. At least 30 days prior to the date
on which each such pre-Closing Tax return is filed (including any applicable extensions), the Sellers’ Representative shall submit such Tax return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Notwithstanding the above, all expense, including fines, late fees and additional Taxes, resulting from or arising out of amendments to the Company’s Tax returns filed by or on behalf of Sellers for periods prior to the Closing Date
shall be the obligation of, and be paid by, the Sellers. 







 13.4 Straddle Period Returns. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but
does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes of the Company for the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the close of business on the Closing Date (the
“Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) shall be the sole obligation of the Sellers and shall be equal to the amount of such real, personal and intangible property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period that are in such pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle
Period other than the pre-Closing Straddle Period, other than income Taxes and those payable by the Sellers pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and to
the extent not accrued in the Financial Statements, shall be the obligation of the Sellers and an indemnifiable claim of the Purchaser against the Sellers under Section 14 of this Agreement. 

13.5 Conduct and Notice of Audits. After the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall (i) provide to the other party such information
relating to the Company as Sellers’ Representative or Buyer may reasonably request with respect to Tax matters and (ii) cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding with respect to any Tax involving the Company
and shall retain or cause to be retained all books and records pertinent to the Company for each taxable period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to
any and all extensions and waivers). If any party to this Agreement receives any written notice from any taxing authority proposing an adjustment to any Tax for which any other party hereto may be obligated to indemnify under this Agreement, such
party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other that describes such proposed adjustment in reasonable detail; the failure to give such notice, however, shall not reduce the obligations of a party hereunder unless, and to the extent that,
such failure prejudices the rights of the other party to contest such Tax. 
 13.6 Amendment of Tax Returns. Without the
prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, Buyer will not amend or permit the Company to amend any Tax return relating to a taxable period (or portion of such taxable period) ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Provided however,
that the tax return of the Company for the year ended 2011 will have been amended prior to the Closing Date. 
 13.7 Tax
Refunds. Any income Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Company, and any amounts credited against income Tax to which Buyer or the Company become entitled in a Tax period ending after the Closing Date, that relate to Tax periods or
portions of such periods ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers, but only to the extent such refunds are not reflected in the Closing Date Balance Sheet. Buyer shall pay over to the Sellers’ Representative
for distribution to the Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after actual receipt of such refund or application of such credit against Taxes. 







 13.8 338(h)(10) Election. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions as noted in Section 13.8(b) below (i) the Sellers and Buyer agree to an election
under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding elections under state, local or foreign tax law (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”) in accordance with applicable tax laws and as set forth herein, and
(ii) Buyer further agrees that in order to entice Sellers to agree to the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, Buyer shall be required to pay to Sellers’ Representative an Estimated Tax Indemnification Payment on or before the Tax
Indemnification Payment Date (as defined in Section 13.8(b) below) in the aggregate amount of $20 million (to be adjusted in accordance with Section 13.8(b) below) which will be used to fund (A) an amount for each Seller
equal to the aggregate amount reasonably required to reimburse such Seller on a net, after-tax basis for Taxes reasonably incurred in connection with the aforesaid Section 338(h)(10) Elections, (B) any increase in the bonus amount due or
paid to Steve Scheidler under the Scheidler Employment Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 to the Scheidler Employment Agreement) based on the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, and (C) all reasonable legal and accounting expenses and
costs incurred by Sellers after the Closing in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections. 
 (b) Subject to
compliance by Buyer and Sellers with the Tax Timetable attached as Appendix C to this Agreement (the “Tax Timetable”), Buyer reserves the right to revoke its agreement under Section 13.8(a) to make the
Section 338(h)(10) Elections at any time on or prior to November 30, 2013. If Buyer does not revoke its agreement, Buyer shall make the Final Tax Indemnification Payment (as defined below) to the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of
each of the Sellers on or before December 15, 2013 (the “Tax Indemnification Payment Date”). The term “Final Tax Indemnification Payment” shall mean the Estimated Tax Indemnification Payment, as finally agreed upon between
Buyer and Sellers, representing the amount that Buyer shall be required to pay to Sellers equal to (i) the aggregate amount reasonably required to reimburse such Seller on a net, after-tax basis for Taxes reasonably incurred in connection with
the aforesaid Section 338(h)(10) Elections, (ii) any increase in the bonus amount due or paid to Steve Scheidler under the Scheidler Employment Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 to the Scheidler Employment Agreement) based on the
Section 338(h)(10) Elections, and (iii) all reasonable legal and accounting expenses and costs incurred by Sellers after the Closing in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections. For avoidance of doubt, the Final Tax
Indemnification Payment will be a reasonable estimate of the net, after-tax basis for Taxes reasonably incurred by the Sellers in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections. If Buyer revokes its agreement under Section 13.8(a)
to make the Section 338(h)(10) Elections at any time on or prior to November 30, 2013, Buyer will have no liability or obligation to any Seller or to Sellers’ Representative with respect to the revocation of Buyer’s agreement to
make the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, including any and all amounts associated with the either the Estimated Tax Indemnification Payment or Final Tax Indemnification Payment, except for amounts under Section 13.8(a)(ii)(C).

 (c) 
 (1) If the Buyer makes a Final Tax Indemnification Payment to a Seller (or, as provided by the following paragraph to the Escrow Agent), on or prior to the Tax Indemnification Payment Date, such Seller
will take, and will cooperate with the Buyer and with each other Seller to take (i) all actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve
a timely Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with the Code and the regulations thereunder, or any successor provisions; and (ii) such Seller and Buyer shall, for Tax purposes, report the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement
in a manner which is consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent therewith in any Tax return or in any discussion with or proceeding before any taxing authority, or otherwise. As
soon as practicable following the receipt by such Seller of valuation reports arranged by the Buyer, but in any event not later than the date specified in the Tax Timetable for the same, each Seller shall deliver a written statement containing the
amount of the Final Tax Indemnification Payment which is claimed to be due to such Seller and the manner in which the amount of such Final Tax Indemnification Payment has been calculated to Buyer. 







 (2) If Buyer disagrees with a Seller’s calculation of the Final Tax Indemnification
Payment (including the calculation of the additional bonus amount due or paid to Steve Scheidler based upon the Section 338(h)(10) Elections) then Buyer shall notify such Seller within the time permitted in the Tax Timetable of the amount of
the Final Tax Indemnification Payment calculated by Buyer and the manner in which the amount of such Final Tax Indemnification Payment was calculated by Buyer. Buyer and such Seller shall confer within ten (10) days after delivery by Buyer of
such notice to such Seller, and use their reasonable good faith efforts to resolve any differences in their respective Final Tax Indemnification Payment calculations. In the event the parties are unable to resolve the differences, Buyer shall pay
(A) to such Seller the amount of the Final Tax Indemnification Payment as calculated by the Buyer for such Seller (the “Buyer’s Amount”) and (B) to the Escrow Agent an amount (the “Escrowed Amount”) equal to the
amount of the Final Tax Indemnification Payment calculated by such Seller less the Buyer’s Amount. The Escrow Agent shall agree to hold the Escrowed Amount for Buyer and such Seller until the Buyer and such Seller resolve their differences with
respect to the amount of the disputed Final Tax Indemnification Payment in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3.4 (with respect to the calculation of the Company’s Closing Working Capital). Upon payment by the Buyer
to the Escrow Agent of the amount of the disputed Final Tax Indemnification Payment, such Seller that has computed the Final Tax Indemnification Payment which is in dispute shall take, and cooperate with Buyer and each other Seller to take, all
actions necessary and appropriate to effect and preserve a timely Section 338(h)(10) Election. One-half of the fees charged by the Escrow Agent shall be paid by Buyer, and one-half of the fees shall be paid by the Sellers who dispute their
respective Final Tax Indemnification Payments. 
 (3) By way of clarification, the Final Tax Indemnification Payment that is to
be made by Buyer to each Seller shall be computed individually for each Seller, in an amount which is not only necessary to offset fully any additional Tax incurred by such Seller as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election having been made,
but also any additional Tax attributable to the receipt by each such Seller of the Final Tax Indemnification Payment, and the additional bonus amount due or paid to Steve Scheidler based upon the 338(h)(10) Election. The Final Tax Indemnification
Payment (including the additional bonus payment due or paid to Steve Scheidler because of the 338(h)(10) Election) for each Seller shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of each
Seller (or, if applicable, to the Escrow Agent) on or before the Tax Indemnification Payment Date. 
 (4) By way of further
clarification, it is the intention of all the parties that the Final Tax Indemnification Payment that will be paid by Buyer to each of the Sellers will be an amount sufficient so that each Seller will receive the same after-tax proceeds from the
sale of its Shares, after payment of all such additional Taxes (and the additional Steve Scheidler bonus payments attributable to the 338(h)(10) Election) that it would have received had the Section 338(h)(10) Election not been made. The amount
of this payment to Sellers is not subject to adjustment, deduction, refund or return based on the actual tax liability of the Sellers, amendments of returns or otherwise. 
 (5) The consideration paid for the Shares (and any other amounts required to be capitalized pursuant to Section 338 of the Code) shall be allocated among the Company’s assets in accordance with
the principles of Section 338 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Buyer shall prepare, using its goods faith efforts, and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a proposed allocation of such consideration and the valuation reports
as set forth the Tax Timetable. Unless, within 30 days from receipt thereof, the Sellers’ Representative disagrees in writing with such allocation or valuation, the amount so allocated to each asset shall be as proposed by Buyer and shall
constitute the agreed upon allocation. Buyer and the Sellers shall utilize the allocation of consideration described in and agreed upon pursuant to this Section 13.8 in the preparation of all Tax Returns or forms and for all other Tax
purposes, including, but not limited to, the preparation of IRS Form 8883. Neither Buyer nor the Sellers shall agree to any adjustment relating to the manner in which the consideration has been allocated as set forth in this Section 13.8
without the prior written approval of the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The parties agree to consult and resolve in good faith any disputes in allocating the consideration under this Section 13.8. Any
adjustment to the Purchase Price paid pursuant to this Agreement shall result in an appropriate adjustment to such allocation. 







 (6) For purposes of the Final Tax Indemnification Payment (including the calculation
thereof) under this Section 13.8, the terms “Seller” and “Sellers” shall also mean and include the grantor of any trust where the grantor is deemed to be the owner for federal tax purposes. 

Section 14. INDEMNIFICATION 
 Survival. Subject to the provisions of Sections 14.3 and 14.5, all representations, warranties, covenants, and other obligations in this Agreement and all other agreements and documents
relating to the Transaction will survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) all representations, warranties (other than those set forth in clause (ii) below) will survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months
following the Closing Date, (ii) the representations, warranties set forth in Sections 4.5, 4.6, 4.16 and 4.28 will survive the Closing for a period equal to the greater of six (6) years or the expiration of an applicable statute of
limitations and (iii) unless otherwise specifically provided otherwise, all covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing indefinitely. 
 Sellers’ Indemnification. If the Closing occurs, and subject to the provisions of this Section 14, Sellers will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company, and each
present and future shareholder, director, officer, and authorized representative of Buyer and the Company for, from, and against any and all Losses related to, arising out of or in connection with (i) any inaccuracy of any representation or the
breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement; (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Sellers in this Agreement; (iii) any Taxes of the Company with respect to periods prior to
the Closing; (iv) any Indebtedness of the Company that is outstanding on the Closing Date; (v) any Sellers Transaction Expenses; and (vi) any Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities and any Pre-Closing Indemnification Liabilities. The
liability of Sellers hereunder shall be several, but not joint, according to their Sellers’ Pro Rata Percentage as set forth on Appendix B to this Agreement. Any claim for indemnification by the Buyer, Company, and each present and future
shareholder, director, officer, and authorized representative of Buyer pursuant to this Section 14.2 and Section 11.2 shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Buyer’s Claim.” 

Limitations on Sellers’ Liability. 
 (a) Subject to Section 14.3(b), Sellers will have no liability to Buyer, the Company, or any other Person for indemnification or otherwise with respect to: 

(1) any Buyer’s Claim that arises out of or results from an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty in
Section 4 or breach of any covenant in Section 11.2 or Section 6, unless Buyer notifies Sellers of the claim and specifies in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim within eighteen (18) months
of the Closing Date; 
 (2) any Buyer’s Claim that arises out of or results from an inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warranty in Section 4, or breach of any covenant in Section 6 or Section 11.2, if the aggregate liability for all such claims is less than $600,000 (the “Threshold”). For clarity, this
Threshold shall be treated as a “deductible”, and Sellers shall only be obligated for that portion of such claims in excess of this Threshold; and 







 (3) Buyer’s Claims that arise out of or result from an inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warranty in Section 4 or breach of any covenant in Section 6, or any covenant in Section 11 to the extent that Sellers’ aggregate liability for all such Buyer’s Claims exceeds Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Cap”). It is understood that except in the case of fraud or as otherwise set forth below, the Buyer’s indemnity claims against the Holdback Amount are Buyer’s exclusive remedy under this
Agreement. 
 (b) The limitation on Seller’s liability in this Section 14.3(a) will not apply with respect to a
Buyer’s Claim that arises out of or results from: 
 (1) a breach of any “Capitalization” representation or
warranty in Section 4.5; 
 (2) a breach of any “Title to Shares” representation or warranty in
Section 4.6; 
 (3) a breach of any “Taxes” representation or warranty in Section 4.16;

 (4) a breach of any “Environmental” representation or warranty in Section 4.28; 

(5) a breach of the Environmental Cleanup covenant in Section 11.4; 

(6) any costs and expenses associated with the Environmental Cleanup covenant in Section 11.4 in excess of the Holdback
Amount and the Environmental Holdback Amount; 
 (7) a breach of Sellers’ indemnification obligation in
Section 14.2(iii) through and including Section 14.2(vi); or 
 (8) fraud. 

Sellers will have no liability to Buyer, the Company, or any other Person for indemnification or otherwise with respect to any claim that
arises out of or results from (i) a breach of the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in Sections 4.5, 4.6, 4.16 and 4.28, unless Buyer notifies Sellers of the claim and specifies in reasonable detail the facts giving
rise to the claim before the later of six (6) years after the Closing Date or thirty (30) days following the expiration of an applicable statute of limitations, if any, relating to the rights of any third party to bring a claim with
respect to such matters. Sellers will have liability to Buyer, the Company, or any other Person for indemnification or otherwise with respect to any claim that arises out of or results from a breach of the Environmental Cleanup covenant in
Section 11.4 or a breach of Sellers’ indemnification obligation in Section 14.2(iii) through and including Section 14.2(vi) or fraud and any such liability will not be subject to the Threshold or the Cap. In
no event will the aggregate liability of Sellers under this Section 14 for all Buyer’s Claims exceed the Purchase Price. Any indemnification obligations by Sellers under this Agreement will be net of any insurance proceeds received
by the Company or by the Buyer in connection with such claim after giving effect to any increase in premium attributable to the loss run for the Buyer’s Claim for the next three (3) policy years following the year in which such
claim is made. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that Buyer and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts for at least three years after the Closing Date to maintain insurance policies providing coverage with terms and
conditions which are not materially different than the Company’s current insurance coverage; and to submit appropriate claims to the Company’s insurance carriers for which coverage might be available under such policies. In addition, the
Buyer and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain indefinitely the Company’s Environmental Policies. 







 Buyer’s Indemnification. If the Closing occurs, and subject to the provisions of
this Section 14, Buyer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers for, from, and against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of Buyer’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other obligation of
Buyer in this Agreement or any other agreement or document relating to the Transaction. Any claim for indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 14.4 shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Sellers’ Claim.”

 Limitations on Buyer’s and Company’s Liability. 

(c) Subject to Section 14.5, Buyer and Company will have no liability to Sellers or any other Person for indemnification or
otherwise with respect to: 
 (1) any Sellers’ Claim that arises out of or results from an inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warranty in Section 5 or breach of any covenant in Section 7, unless Sellers notify Buyer of the claim and specifies in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim within eighteen (18) months
of the Closing Date; 
 (2) any Seller’s Claim that arises out of or results from an inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warranty in Section 5, or breach of any covenant in Section 7, if the aggregate liability for all such claims is less than $600,000 (“Buyer’s Threshold”). For clarity, it is understood that
the Buyer’s Threshold shall be treated as a “deductible”, and Buyer shall only be obligated for that portion of such claims in excess of the Buyer’s Threshold; and 

(3) Seller’s Claims that arise out of or result from an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty in
Section 5, or breach of any covenant in Section 7, or any covenant in Section 12, to the extent that Buyer’s and Company’s aggregate liability for all claims that arise out of or result from a breach of
any representation or warranty in Section 5, or any covenant in Section 7, or any covenant in Section 12 exceeds the Purchase Price. 
 Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Person notifies an Indemnifying Party of a direct claim by the Indemnified Person for which the Indemnifying Party has liability under this Section 14,
the Indemnifying Party will pay the claim – or cause the claim to be paid – within 30 days after the delivery of the Indemnified Person’s notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above or in this Agreement, any
Buyer’s Claims shall first be made as offsets against the Holdback Amount, and to the extent the remaining balance of the Holdback Amount is insufficient to pay any Buyer’s Claim in full, then by the Sellers, severally, but not jointly.

 Third-Party Claims. 
 (d) If an Indemnified Person receives a claim by a third party that is subject to the indemnification provisions in this Section 14, the Indemnified Person will promptly notify the
Indemnifying Party of the claim. The notice will include a copy of all correspondence relating to the claim that the Indemnified Person received from the third party. 
 (e) The Indemnifying Party may elect to control the defense of the third-party claim by notifying the Indemnified Person within 10 days after the delivery of the Indemnified Person’s notice. The
election will conclusively establish that the claim is subject to the indemnification provisions in this Section 14. 







 (f) The Indemnified Person may object to the Indemnifying Party’s election to control
the defense of the third-party claim by notifying the Indemnifying Party within 10 days after the delivery of the Indemnifying Party’s notice, but only if: 
 (1) the Indemnified Person reasonably determines that the Indemnifying Party does not have the financial ability to diligently defend the claim; 

(2) the claim is also made against the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person reasonably determines that joint representation of
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person would be inappropriate; 
 (3) the Indemnified Person reasonably determines
that the claim may result in non-monetary damages that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Person; or 
 (4)
the amount of the claim, when added to existing indemnification claims paid by, or pending against, the Indemnifying Person, are subject to the Cap and exceed the Cap. 
 (g) If the Indemnifying Party elects to control the defense of the third-party claim and the Indemnified Person does not object to the election: 

(1) the Indemnifying Party will control the defense of the claim and diligently defend the claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Person; 
 (2) the Indemnified Person may participate in the defense of the claim, at the Indemnified
Person’s own cost and expense; and 
 (3) the Indemnifying Party may settle the claim: 

(i) with the consent of the Indemnified Person, which the Indemnified Person may not withhold unreasonably; or 

(ii) without the consent of the Indemnified Person, but only if: 

(A) the settlement does not contain any finding of any violation by the Indemnified Person of any applicable law or any right of any
Person; 
 (B) the settlement expressly states that the Indemnified Person is not admitting to any such violation; and

 (C) the only relief provided in the settlement is for monetary damages that are – subject to the provisions of this
Section 14 – paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. 
 (h) If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to control
the defense of the third-party claim, or if the Indemnifying Party elects to control the defense of the claim and the Indemnified Person objects to the election under Section 14.7(c)(1): 

(1) the Indemnified Person will control the defense of the claim and diligently defend the claim; 

(2) the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of the claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense; and








 (3) the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made by the Indemnified
Person in connection with the claim, including but not limited to any settlement of the claim. 
 (i) If the Indemnifying Party
elects to control the defense of the third-party claim and the Indemnified Person objects to the election under Section 14.7(c)(2) or Section 14.7(c)(3): 

(1) the Indemnified Person will control the defense of the claim and diligently defend the claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnifying Party; 
 (2) the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of the claim, at the Indemnifying
Party’s own cost and expense; and 
 (3) the Indemnified Person may settle the claim: 

(i) with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which the Indemnifying Party may not withhold unreasonably; or 

(ii) without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, but only if: 

(A) the settlement does not contain any finding of any violation by the Indemnifying Party of any applicable law or any right of any
Person; 
 (B) the settlement expressly states that the Indemnifying Party is not admitting to any such violation; and

 (C) the only relief provided in the settlement is for monetary damages. 

(j) In any third-party claim that is subject to the indemnification provisions in this Section 14, the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Person will: 
 (1) keep each other fully informed of the status of the claim; 

(2) cooperate with each other with respect to the defense of the claim; and 

(3) attempt to preserve in full any attorney-client and work-product privileges and the confidentiality of any Confidential Information.

 Section 15. TERMINATION 
 This Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following: 
 (a)
upon the written agreement of Buyer and Sellers; 
 (b) upon notice by Buyer to Sellers’ Representative, if: 

(1) any condition set forth in Section 8 has not been satisfied or waived on or before the date set forth in
Section 10.1(a)(1), unless the failure to satisfy the condition is due to a material breach of this Agreement by Buyer; 







 (2) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 8 on or before the
date set forth in Section 10.1(a)(1) becomes impossible, unless the satisfaction of the condition became impossible because Buyer materially breached this Agreement; or 

(3) any Seller materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within 15 days after Buyer notifies the Sellers’
Representative of the breach. 
 (c) upon notice by Sellers’ Representative to Buyer, if: 

(1) any condition set forth in Section 9 has not been satisfied or waived on or before the date set forth
Section 10.1(a)(1), unless the failure to satisfy the condition is due to a material breach of this Agreement by any Seller; 
 (2) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 9 on or before the date set forth in Section 10.1(a)(1) becomes impossible, unless the satisfaction of the condition
became impossible because any Seller materially breached this Agreement; or

fails to cure the breach within 15 days after Sellers notify Buyer of the breach. 
 (d) Except as provided in this
Section 15, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15(a), 15(b) or 15(c), this Agreement (other than this Section 15(d) and Sections 18, 19.2, 19.5, 19.14, and 19.17, which
shall survive such termination) will forthwith become void, and there will be no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement or any of their respective officers or directors to the other and all rights and obligations of any other party
hereto will cease, except that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for fraud or for any intentional and material breach, prior to termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement contained herein. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the
event of the termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 15(b) or Buyer’s failure to close on June 30, 2013 (including any extensions under Section 10.1(b)) as a result of the inability of Buyer to
satisfy the condition to closing in Section 8.12 of this Agreement (other than as a result of a material breach by the Company or Company Representatives of their respective covenants in Section 6.12 of this Agreement), Buyer
shall pay to Sellers’ Representative the sum of $4,000,000. Upon receipt of such payment, the Company, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have waived all other remedies (including equitable remedies) with
respect to, any Loss suffered as a result of (i) any failure of the Transaction to be consummated, (ii) for any breach by Buyer of its obligation to consummate the Transaction or (iii) for any breach by Buyer of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, and upon payment of such amount Buyer shall have no further liability or obligation to the Company, Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 16. HSR ACT 

As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Buyer and Sellers will undertake and file a Notification and Report Form in respect of the
Transaction that substantially complies with the provisions of the HSR Act and the rules thereunder, with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (and will file as soon as
practicable any form or report required by any other Governmental Authority relating to antitrust matters). Buyer and Sellers will each be responsible for one-half of the filing fee associated with the Notification and Report Form. 







 Each of Buyer and the Sellers will, and the Sellers will cause the Company to,
(i) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Authority for additional information or documentation related to such filings, (ii) not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter
into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the Transaction, except with the prior written consent of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (iii) use

promptly as practicable; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 16 will require or be construed to require Buyer or the Company to propose or make any divestiture or other undertaking, or propose or enter into any consent decree or
otherwise limit the freedom of Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates of action with respect to, or the ability to retain, one or more of its businesses, product lines or assets.

 Neither the Sellers, the Company nor
Buyer, nor shall any of their respective Affiliates, without the approval of the other parties, issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as may be
required by applicable law or regulation or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. Sellers and Buyer will consult and cooperate with each other concerning the timing and manner of the announcements of
the Transaction to the Company’s employees, customers, suppliers, and other business relations. Upon Buyer’s request, Sellers will permit Buyer to be present at any such announcement. Any public announcements with respect to the
Transaction or this Agreement will be made, if at all, at such time and in such manner as Buyer determines. 
 Section 18.

addition to any other relief awarded, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorney’s fees and other fees, costs, and expenses of every kind, including but not limited to the costs and disbursements specified in ORCP 68 A(2), incurred in
connection with the arbitration, the litigation, any appeal or petition for review, the collection of any award, or the enforcement of any order, as determined by the arbitrator or court.

and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. 
 Sellers’ Representative. 
 (h) By the execution and delivery hereof,
including counterparts hereof, each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Steven Michaelis, James Stocks and Herbert Taylor as the true and lawful agents and attorneys-in-fact (the “Sellers’ Representative”) of such
Seller with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller with respect to the performance on behalf of such Seller under the terms and provisions hereof and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and
things, and to execute all such documents, as the Sellers’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any transaction contemplated hereunder, including the power to: 

(1) act for each Seller with respect to all indemnification matters referred to herein, including the right to compromise or settle any
such claim on behalf of any Seller; 
 (2) act for each Seller with respect to all Purchase Price adjustments referred to
herein; 
 (3) amend or waive any provision hereof (including any condition to Closing) in any manner that does not
differentiate among the Sellers, except to the extent of Sellers’ Pro Rata Percentage; 
 (4) employ, obtain and rely upon
the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the Sellers’ Representative, in the sole discretion thereof, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of the duties of the Sellers’ Representative;

 (5) receive and receipt for any portion of the Purchase Price or any other payment due from the Buyer to the Sellers
pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (6) incur any expenses, liquidate and withhold assets received on behalf of the Sellers prior to
their distribution to the Sellers to the extent of any amount that the Sellers’ Representative deems necessary for payment of or as a reserve against expenses, and pay such expenses or deposit the same in an interest-bearing account established
solely for such purpose, and to then make distributions to Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Payment Percentages; 







 (7) receive all notices, communications and deliveries hereunder on behalf of the Sellers;
and 
 (8) do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of each Seller that the Sellers’ Representative
deems necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of the Sellers’ Representative, relating to the subject matter hereof as fully and completely as any Seller could do if personally present and acting as though any reference to any Seller
herein was a reference to the Sellers’ Representative. 
 (i) The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative shall be
deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Sellers’ Representative as the act of any Seller in all matters referred to herein.
Each Seller hereby ratifies and confirms that the Sellers’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of such Sellers’ Representative’s appointment as Sellers’ Representative of such Seller. The Sellers’
Representative shall act for each Seller on all matters set forth herein in the manner the Sellers’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of such Seller, but the Sellers’ Representative shall not be responsible to any Seller
for any loss or damage any Seller may suffer by reason of the performance by the Sellers’ Representative of such Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder, other than loss or damage arising from willful misconduct or gross negligence
in the performance of such Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder. 
 (j) Each Seller hereby expressly
acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers’ Representative is authorized to act on behalf of such Seller notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Sellers, and that any Person shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by
the Sellers’ Representative hereunder without liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Seller. In the event the Sellers’ Representative resigns or ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, then the successor
Sellers’ Representative shall be the Person the remaining Sellers appoint; provided, however, that in the event for any reason no successor has been appointed within thirty (30) days following such resignation or cessation, then any Seller
shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold the Sellers’ Representative harmless from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred or suffered as a result of the performance of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder, except for willful misconduct
or gross negligence. 
 (k) For purposes of clarification, the Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken only
jointly by two of the three Sellers’ Representatives identified in Section 19.19(a) acting in their respective capacities as a Sellers’ Representative. 
 Signatures. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts. A fax transmission of a signature page will be considered an original signature page. At the request of a party, a party will confirm a
fax-transmitted signature page by delivering an original signature page to the requesting party.
