 Exhibit 10.66 
  
 AGREEMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES 
  
 EXPEDIA INC and TRX EUROPE LIMITED. 
  
 THIS Deed of clarification and amendment (“Amendment”) is entered into as of the date of last signature below (“Commencement
Date”) by and between TRX Europe Limited (formerly known as e-TRX Limited), (“Contractor”), a Company registered and organized under the laws of England (Registered Number 3841799) having its principal place of business at Sutherland
House, Russell Way, Crawley, West Sussex RH10 1UH and EXPEDIA INC., (“Client”), a Washington corporation, 3150 139th Avenue SE, Bellevue, WA 98005, USA (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). 
  
 WHEREAS: 
  

	 	A.	The Parties entered into an Agreement on or before 3 October 2001 (the “Agreement”) under which Client, acting on its own behalf, requested that Contractor provide, and
Contractor agreed to provide, certain travel fulfilment services and other services to Client customers. 

  

	 	B.	The Parties have been discussing the level of telesales support calls that Client will require to sustain its future growth and have agreed that, as Contractor’s Operations
Centre does not have sufficient capacity to meet Client’s future needs, Client will source capacity outside of the Operations Centre. 

  

	 	C.	In view of this, the Parties now wish to amend the terms and conditions relating to certain protection that Client is seeking from Contractor for any Employment Liabilities that may
arise either during the term of the Agreement or upon its termination or assignment, in whole or in part (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Partial Cessation (as defined below)). 

  
 ACCORDINGLY, the Parties have agreed that, in consideration of the mutual covenants in the
Agreement and below, the Agreement shall be amended as follows: - 
  

	1.	INTERPRETATION 

  
 Capitalised terms in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Agreement (unless stated or the context dictates otherwise). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the
provisions of the Agreement and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment will take precedence. 
  

	2.	EFFECT 

  
 This Amendment shall take effect as of the Commencement Date. Except as varied by this Amendment, the Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms. 
  

	3.	AGREEMENT. 

  
 3.1 Clause 10.1 to Clause 10.11 of the Agreement shall be deleted and the following substituted in their place: 
  

	 	10:	PERSONNEL. 

  

	10.1 	 Contractor Staff assigned to the Web Site and/or to the provision of the Services will be employees, agents, or subcontractors of Contractor and not employees of
Client and will remain under the direction and control of Contractor subject to IATA or other regulatory requirements. These Contractor Staff will receive such salaries, compensation and 

  

 Confidential 

	 	 
benefits, as Contractor will determine. Contractor agrees to be responsible for all taxes and national insurance, and all salaries, benefits and other
costs of such Contractor Staff. 

  

	10.2 	Contractor shall supply appropriately experienced, qualified and trained Contractor Staff and shall make available sufficient numbers of such personnel, to provide the Services
to the agreed Service Levels. 

  

	10.3 	Intentionally left blank. 

  

	10.4 	Contractor shall indemnify and keep indemnified Client from and against all Employment Liabilities connected with or in respect of any Contractor Staff or Workers Representatives
(or former Contractor Staff or Workers Representatives) which Client may suffer, sustain, incur or pay as a result of any act or omission by Contractor (or its agents, subcontractors, or any subsidiary of Contractor (“subsidiary” having
the meaning assigned to it by s.736 Companies Act 1985)), or otherwise arising from the provision of the Services by Contractor, which: 

  

	10.4.1 	arise during the period of this Agreement (as extended or otherwise modified as applicable); or 

  

	10.4.2 	arise upon or are connected with the termination or assignment of this Agreement (as extended or otherwise modified) including, without limitation, any Employment Liabilities
arising from the termination of employment or engagement (as applicable) of Contractor Staff and/or former Contractor Staff, 

  
 provided always that Client shall comply with any reasonable instructions by Contractor with a view to minimizing its liabilities. Contractor hereby
agrees that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses or other Employment Liabilities incurred by Client in complying with such instructions. 
  

	10.5	Contractor shall indemnify and keep indemnified Client and any Successor Service Provider from and against all Employment Liabilities connected with or in respect of any
Contractor Staff or Workers Representatives (or former Contractor Staff or Workers Representatives) which Client or the Successor Service Provider may suffer, sustain, incur or pay as a result of: 

  

	 	(a)	any act or omission by Contractor where such Employment Liability (or the subject matter of such Employment Liability) arose during the period of this Agreement (including any
extension or modification thereof); 

  

	 	(b)	any failure by Contractor to comply with any applicable obligations to inform and/or consult any Contractor Staff or Workers Representatives including (but not limited to) under
the Regulations or under the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992; 

  

	 	(c)	without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, any dismissal (including constructive dismissal) of any Contractor Staff (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such dismissal is
by reason of “redundancy” as defined in s139 of the Employment Rights Act 1996) in connection with the termination or assignment of this Agreement or a Partial Cessation whether or not such dismissal (i) takes place before or after such
termination or assignment, or the Transfer Date (as applicable) and (ii) whether or not such dismissal is effected by Contractor or Client or any other Successor Service Provider; 

  

 - 2 - 
  
 Confidential 

	 	(d)	Employment Liabilities arising from or in connection with options granted and other entitlements arising under any share option, save-as-you-earn, stock purchase or similar
arrangement introduced or in place prior to the termination or assignment of this Agreement, or the Transfer Date (as applicable) whether such entitlements vest or otherwise crystallize before or after such termination or assignment, or the Transfer
Date (as applicable), 

  
 provided that this
indemnity shall not apply to the extent that any such Employment Liabilities arise from or in relation to any act or omission on the part of Client, save that, for the avoidance of doubt, this indemnity shall not cease to apply merely because Client
has transferred (or requested that Contractor transfer) some of or all the Services to a Successor Service Provider. 
  
 Forthwith (i) on the termination or assignment of this Agreement, or (ii) on any other termination or cessation or transfer of the provision of some or
all of the Services (a “Partial Cessation”), (the date of such Partial Cessation being referred to as the “Transfer Date”) Contractor shall (if so requested by Client) enter into a Deed of Indemnity with the Successor Service
Provider in order to confer the benefit of this Clause 10.5 on such party. Contractor shall indemnify and keep Client indemnified from and against any loss, costs, expenses (including any reasonable legal expenses), demands and/or
other liabilities which may arise from a failure to do so. 
  

	10.6 	Within the last six months of this Agreement (provided that notice of termination has been served), or any other time where Client reasonably anticipates that there may be a
Partial Cessation, and within 14 days of receiving a written request from Client, Contractor shall (subject to the exceptions set out in the last sentence of this Clause 10.6) disclose in writing to Client, and/or where so requested by
Client, to any Successor Service Provider or potential Successor Service Provider, such of the following particulars of the Contractor Staff assigned exclusively to the provision of all or part of the Services (or otherwise likely to transfer to
Client or a Successor Service Provider under the Regulations) at that date as are reasonably required, and such other information in respect of such Contractor Staff as is reasonably required, to enable Client/Successor Service Provider (as the case
may be) to assess its potential liabilities in the event that it is to take over provision of the Services (if the Regulations apply) and, thereafter, when it becomes reasonably necessary (as dictated by timing of the application of the
Regulations), Contractor will also disclose such of the said particulars and such other information (not already disclosed) as necessary to enable Client/Successor Service Provider (as the case may be) to comply with its obligations under the
Regulations: 

  

	10.6.1 	their names, addresses, dates of birth and commencement dates (including, where different, their dates of continuous employment); 

  

	10.6.2 	their job titles and grades; 

  

	10.6.3 	their salaries, emoluments and all benefits of employment or engagement; 

  

	10.6.4 	copies of employment contracts, any contracts for services and any collective agreements with any Workers Representatives; 

  

 - 3 - 
  
 Confidential 

	10.6.5	 details of all current and threatened employment related claims of whatsoever nature, and details of any circumstances or incidents which make such a claim reasonably
foreseeable. 

  

	10.6.6	 details of any promises, arrangements, undertakings or agreements given or made in respect to any Contractor Staff entitling such Contractor Staff to (or, as the case may
be, requiring Contractor to make) any change to any term or condition of such Contractor Staff’s employment at any time after the date of disclosure. 

  
 Where the written request referred to above in this Clause 10.6 is made in connection with a Partial
Cessation, Contractor shall only be obliged to provide the particulars and information referred to above in respect of such of the Contractor Staff who are assigned exclusively to the provision of the Services which are the subject of the Partial
Cessation (or otherwise likely to transfer to either Client or a Successor Service Provider under the Regulations). 
  

	10.7	 Contractor shall warrant for the benefit of both Client and any Successor Service Provider that the particulars and information provided pursuant to Clause 10.6 are true,
not misleading and complete as at the date of disclosure and thereafter shall not make any material changes in respect of the contractual arrangements of the applicable Contractor Staff without the prior written consent of Client, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, qualified or delayed. Client agrees to comply and use its reasonable endeavours to procure that any Successor Service Provider(s) also complies with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 as they pertain to their
respective holding and use of such particulars and information after its disclosure by Contractor, and Client shall indemnify Contractor against the consequences of any failure(s) to do so and Client agrees that this indemnity shall remain in effect
and shall survive the expiry or termination (however caused) of this Agreement. 

  

	10.8	 Contractor undertakes that it shall not, within the 6 months preceding termination of this Agreement or within any period of notice given to effect a Partial Cessation,
transfer any key individuals (including any individual in the post of Operations Manager, Account Director, Customer Relations Manager or Customer Care Desk Manager) from or to the provision of the Services hereunder without the prior written
consent of Client (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, qualified or delayed). 

  

	10.9	 Contractor agrees that the restrictions contained in Clause 10.8 are reasonable for the protection of Client. 

  

	10.10	 The Parties agree that Client may offer or otherwise provide back-to-back indemnities, warranties and other protection conferred by Clauses 10.5. 10.6
and 10.7 (on the same terms as the indemnities, warranties and other protection conferred by such provisions) to any Successor Service Provider and that, in assessing any loss, costs, expenses, demands and/or other liabilities incurred by
Client for the purposes of this Clause 10 full account shall be taken of any loss, costs, expenses (including any reasonable legal expenses), demands and/or other liabilities incurred by Client in connection with or arising from
the back-to-back protection offered or otherwise provided to any such Successor Service Provider notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement.

	10.11	 For the purposes of this Clause 10 - 

  

	10.11.1	 “Partial Cessation” and “Transfer Date” shall have the meanings
given to them in the last paragraph of Clause 10.5,

 ConfidentialAgreement  and Plan of Merger

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER 
  

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 1, 2005 by and among INTEGRATED
ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), FLORIDA INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and THE NEW FLORIDA INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC, INC., a Florida
corporation (the “Buyer). 
  
 WITNESSETH:

  
 WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the electrical construction
and services business (the “Business”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parent owns 1,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share of the Company (the “Stock”), which constitutes all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company; 
  
 WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Buyer and the Company
deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders that Company merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Buyer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and such Boards of
Directors have approved the Merger; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in
consideration of the premises and of the respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions of the parties contained herein, it is hereby agreed as follows: 
  

	1.	THE MERGER. 

  
 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), Company shall be
merged with and into the Buyer in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”) and the separate existence of Company shall thereupon cease, and the Buyer shall be the
surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”). The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 607.1106 of the FBCA, including without limitation, the Surviving
Company’s succession to and assumption of all rights and obligations of the Company. 
  
 1.2 Effective Time of the Merger. The Merger shall become effective (the “Effective Time”) when properly executed Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Florida, which filing shall be made as soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof. 
  
 1.3 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Surviving Company. Effective at and after the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of the
Buyer shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Company. Effective at and after the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Buyer shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Company. 

 1.4 Directors and Officers. At and after the Effective Time, (a) the Board of Directors of Buyer
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Board of Directors of the Surviving Company and (b) the officers of the Buyer immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company, in the case of both clause (a)
and (b) until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Company’s Bylaws and the FBCA. 
  
 1.5 Excluded Assets. It is expressly understood and agreed that
immediately prior to the Effective Time, the following assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Parent and shall not be assets of the Surviving Company (such assets are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Excluded
Assets,” and the assets of the Surviving Company at the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Assets, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Assets”): 
  
 (a) Cash and cash equivalents or similar type investments,
such as certificates of deposit, Treasury bills and other marketable securities; 
  
 (b) Claims for refunds of taxes and other governmental charges to the extent such refunds relate to periods ending on or prior to the
Closing Date; 
  
 (c) Any asset, tangible or
intangible, which is not freely transferable through Merger without the consent of a third party, upon the failure to obtain such consent; 
  
 (d) Any records required by applicable laws to be retained by the Parent; 
  
 (e) Any contract or agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company and IES Contractors, Inc. or IES
Federal Contract Group L.P.; and 
  
 (f) Any
amounts owed to the Company by Parent, Integrated Electrical Finance, Inc., IES Management LP, IES Management ROO LP, IES Properties, Inc., or IES Reinsurance, Ltd. 
  
 Prior to or at Closing, Parent shall cause all intercompany obligations between the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and its affiliates
(other than the Company), on the other hand, to be assigned to an entity other than the Company, repaid, terminated or otherwise satisfied. The method of eliminating such intercompany obligations shall be at Parent’s sole election. 

 
 1.6 Conversion of Shares. Upon consummation of the Merger, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Stock, each share of Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be converted into a right to receive the following (the “Merger
Consideration”): 
  
 (i) $5,960.25
in cash; 
  
 (ii) $1,950.75 in principal amount
of Surviving Company promissory notes (the “Notes”). The Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit B. 
  

 2 

 The gross amount of Merger Consideration payable to Parent, as the holder of all 1,000 shares of
outstanding Stock, shall be $5,960,250 in cash and $1,950,750 in Notes (the “Gross Merger Consideration”). The cash portion of the Gross Merger Consideration shall be paid to Parent by wire transfer from Buyer to an account
designated by Parent in writing prior to the Closing. The Notes will be delivered to the Parent at the Closing. The Gross Merger Consideration is subject to further adjustment as set forth in Section 1.10 below. 
  
 Each share of stock of Buyer outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Date is to be an identical share of the Surviving Company immediately after the Effective Date. 
  
 1.7 Surrender of Shares. 
  
 (a) At the Closing, upon surrender to Buyer of certificates representing shares of Stock (the “Certificates”),
Buyer shall promptly deliver to the Parent the Gross Merger Consideration, and the Certificates shall be cancelled. Each Certificate evidencing Stock shall, after the Effective Date, be deemed to evidence only the right to receive the Merger
Consideration to which its holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6. 
  
 (b) From and after the Effective Date, the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Stock except as
otherwise provided herein or by law. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any portion of the Merger Consideration, except for interest accruing on the Notes in accordance with their terms following the issuance and delivery thereof. 
  
 (c) In the event that a Certificate shall have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Surviving Corporation shall pay the Merger Consideration in respect thereof. The owner of such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate shall deliver to the Surviving Company such indemnity and bond as it may reasonably direct as protection against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have
been lost, stolen or destroyed. 
  
 1.8 Plan of Merger. For
purposes of the FBCA, Sections 1.1 through 1.11, inclusive, and any relevant definitions of terms used herein and Exhibits referred to herein, shall constitute the plan of merger of the Company and Buyer, and shall be restated in the articles of
merger to be filed with the Florida Secretary of State to effect the Merger, or in an attachment thereto, with such changes thereto as are appropriate in light of such restatement, including changes in section numbers. 
  
 1.9 Effective Date. The Parties acknowledge that the Merger will be
effective, for purposes of Florida corporate law, on the Effective Date. However, the Parties agree that they shall treat the Merger as being effective as of the close of business on August 31, 2005 (the “Agreed Effective
Time”) for financial statement reporting and tax purposes, and for all other purposes as among themselves. 
  
 1.10 Cash Reconciliation. Within 60 days following the Closing Date, the Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Surviving Company a schedule
setting forth, for the period commencing 

  

 3 

 
on August 1, 2005, and ending as of the Agreed Effective Time, (a) the cash disbursements funded by the Company, the Parent or any of their affiliates for
the benefit of the Company, to include those made in the ordinary course to trade vendors and those made in the ordinary course for Company employee benefit plans (the “Disbursements”), and (b) the cash deposits made by the
Company (the “Deposits”). Within three business days following the Surviving Company’s receipt of such schedule, (i) the Surviving Company shall remit to the Parent in immediately available funds, the amount by which the
Disbursements exceed the Deposits, if any; or (ii) the Parent shall remit to the Surviving Company, in like manner and within such period, the amount by which Deposits exceed the Disbursements, if any. Disbursements shall include, but not be limited
to, actual cash amounts paid by the Company or the Parent on behalf of the Company with respect to pre-Agreed Effective Time periods, including (i) amounts paid after July 31, 2005 for checks issued by the Company or Parent on behalf of the Company
on or before July 31, 2005 that had not cleared the banks on July 31, 2005, which amounts were reflected on the July 31, 2005 balance sheet as negative cash amounts, (ii) checks issued by the Company or Parent on behalf of the Company subsequent to
July 31, 2005, but before the Agreed Effective Time that have not cleared the banks as of the Agreed Effective Time, (iii) workers compensation, general liability, auto insurance, health and similar insurance premiums paid by the Parent on behalf of
the Company with respect to periods prior to the Agreed Effective Time, whether accrued prior to or after the Agreed Effective Time, and (iv) other amounts paid by the Company or by the Parent on behalf of the Company with respect to periods prior
to the Agreed Effective Time, but for which invoices are received or accruals are made after the Agreed Effective Time. Deposits shall include, but not be limited to, actual cash amounts received by the Company or the Parent on behalf of the Company
subsequent to July 31, 2005, but before the Agreed Effective Time that have not been reflected in the Company’s accounts as of the Agreed Effective Time. Disbursements and Deposits will be accounted for in accordance with Parent’s
accounting practices consistent with past periods. 
  
 1.11
Expenses: Consents and Taxes. The Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid (i) all costs and expenses of obtaining all consents of third parties for the Merger, and (ii) all transfer, stamp, sales, use or other similar taxes or duties payable in

Date.”

 (d) By Parent, so long as neither Parent nor Company is then
in breach of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Buyer shall have been or becomes untrue, in each case
such that the conditions set forth in Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b), as the case may be, would not be satisfied and such breach or untruth has not been cured within two business days of the date on which Buyer receives notice thereof from Parent;
or 
  
 (e) By Buyer, so long as Buyer is not then
in breach of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement of Parent or Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Company shall have been or

Buyer, or the Company or any of its or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives, and each shall be fully released and discharged from any liability or obligation under or
resulting from this Agreement and neither Company, Parent, nor Buyer shall have any other remedy or cause of action under or relating to this Agreement or any applicable law including, without limitation, for reimbursement of expenses, except that
the obligations of Buyer under the Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of the parties under this Section 2.3 and Sections 8 and 10 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

any manner by, and Buyer and its officers, directors, shareholders and other affiliates have not relied upon and will not rely upon, any express or implied representations, warranties, guaranties, promises or statements pertaining to the Company,
Business or Assets except as specifically provided in this Section 3. The Buyer acknowledges that in making the decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, it and its officers, directors,
shareholders and other affiliates have relied solely on the basis of their own independent investigation of the Company, the Business and the Assets and upon the express written representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement. Without
diminishing the scope of the express written representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Parent in this Agreement and without affecting or impairing their right to rely thereon, the Buyer acknowledges that (a) it and its
officers, directors, shareholders and other affiliates have not relied, in whole or in part, on any information contained in documents, materials or other information provided to them by, or on behalf of, Company or the Parent, and (b) neither
Company nor the Parent is making any representations or warranties with respect to (i) any such documents, materials or other information, other than, in each case, as set forth in this Agreement or (ii) the value, condition, merchantability,
marketability, profitability, suitability or fitness for a particular use or purpose of the Assets. ACCORDINGLY, THE COMPANY AND  

  

 7 

 
ITS BUSINESS AND ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED “AS IS, WHERE IS.” EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.1
OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY AND PARENT MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE COMPANY, THE BUSINESS, OR THE ASSETS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO ASSIGN THE ASSETS THROUGH THE MERGER, OR OBTAIN CONSENTS TO ANY ASSIGNMENT. 
  

	4.	COVENANTS; ACTION SUBSEQUENT TO CLOSING.  

  
 4.1 Access to Books and Records. Until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Parent shall afford, and will cause its affiliates to afford
(subject to the provisions of applicable law), to the Buyer and the Surviving Company and their respective counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the books, records and other
data of the Company and the Business with respect to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent that such records are retained by Parent and such access may be reasonably required by the Buyer and the Surviving Company to
facilitate (i) the investigation, litigation and final disposition of any claims which may have been or may be made against the Buyer or the Surviving Company in connection with the Business or (ii) for any other reasonable business purpose. Until
the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer and the Surviving Company shall afford, and will cause its affiliates to afford (subject to the provisions of applicable law), to the Parent, its counsel, accountants and other authorized
representatives, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the books, records and other data of the Surviving Company and the Business with respect to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date to the extent that such access may be
reasonably required by the Parent to facilitate (i) the investigation, litigation and final disposition of any claims which may have been or may be made against the Parent in connection with the Business, including without limitation the Retained
Liabilities (hereinafter defined), or (ii) for any other reasonable business purpose. Following the Closing, the Buyer and the Surviving Company shall prepare, on behalf of the Company, all regularly prepared financial reports and statements for
periods up to and including the Agreed Effective Time, shall deliver such reports to the Parent on or before the 12th day of the month following the Agreed Effective Time, shall sign a “Representation Compliance Letter” with respect to all such financial reports and statements, and shall cooperate with and provide assistance to the Parent
in their financial and tax reporting obligations for the periods up to and including the Agreed Effective Time. 
  
 4.2 Mail. The Parent authorizes and empowers the Buyer and the Surviving Company on and after the Closing Date to receive and open all mail
received by the Buyer or the Surviving Company relating to the Business or the Assets and to deal with the contents of such communications in any proper manner. The Parent shall promptly deliver to the Buyer and the Surviving Company any mail or
other communication received by it after the Closing Date pertaining to the Business or the Assets. The Buyer and the Surviving Company shall promptly deliver to the Parent any mail or other communication received by them after the Closing Date
pertaining to the Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities, and any cash, checks or other instruments of payment in respect of the Excluded Assets. As soon as is practicable after the Closing Date, and in no event more than ten days thereafter, the
Surviving Company shall mail to its customers and vendors a notice of the Merger in the form mutually agreed upon by Surviving Company and Parent. 
  

 8 

 4.3 No Consent Contracts. To the extent that any contract of the Company included in the Assets
may not be assigned in the Merger without the consent of any third party, and such consent is not obtained prior to Closing (such contracts referred to as “No Consent Contracts”), this Agreement and the Merger shall not
constitute an assignment thereof (and such No Consent Contracts shall be treated as Excluded Assets), but to the extent permitted by law shall constitute an equitable assignment by the Company and assumption by the Buyer of the Company’s rights
and obligations under the applicable No Consent Contract, with the Parent making available to the Buyer the benefits thereof and the Buyer performing the obligations thereunder on the Company’s and Parent’s behalf until such consent can be
obtained, whereupon the No Consent Contract will be assigned to the Surviving Company. The Parties will cooperate with and render reasonable assistance to the other Parties to this Agreement in order to obtain any such consent or to render
performance under such contracts until such consent is obtained. 
  
 4.4 Preparation and Filing of Certain Tax Forms. The Surviving Company shall prepare and submit to Parent for review and approval prior to signature and timely filing all Forms W-2, 940, 941 and 1099 with all appropriate Governmental
Entities, including without limitation any summary schedules and transmittal forms, as well as any similar filings required by any state or local Governmental Entity, with respect to all wages and other reportable payments or any sales tax liability
for the calendar year 2004 and for the partial year in 2005 ending on the Closing Date. As used herein, “Governmental Entity” means any court or tribunal in any jurisdiction (domestic or foreign) or any public, governmental
or regulatory body, agency, department, commission, board, bureau or other authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign. The Buyer shall pay all administrative amounts owed as a result of or otherwise related to such filings with the exception
of any tax, interest, or penalties associated with periods prior to the Closing. The Company will pay, on or before they become due, any employment taxes withheld by it which have not been previously paid. The Buyer, Parent and the Company shall
cooperate (subject to the requirements of applicable law) in making all such filings and shall make available to the others such information as any of them requires to assure such filings are made on a timely and accurate basis. The Surviving
Company and the Parent agree that they will jointly prepare and file an election to have the Merger treated as a sale of assets for federal income tax purposes under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 4.5 The Parent Name and Logos. As soon as practicable (but in any
event within 90 days) after the Closing Date, the Buyer and Surviving Company, at their expense, shall remove the Parent and its affiliates’ names and logos from all of the Assets. The Buyer and the Surviving Company shall not use in any manner
any name, logo or mark owned by or licensed to the Company, the Parent or their respective affiliates which bears any reference to IES or any subsidiary of IES other than the Company. The name “Florida Industrial Electric” shall become the
exclusive property of the Buyer and the Surviving Company following the Closing and shall not be used by the Company, Parent or their respective affiliates except in connection with the Parent’s handling of the Retained Liabilities. 

 

 9 

 4.6 Leased Assets. At the Closing, the Buyer, at its expense, shall pay off or refinance the
leases on the vehicles and equipment listed on Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, and in connection therewith shall obtain the release of Parent and the Company for all liability under such leases. 
  
 4.7 Chubb Bonds. Buyer agrees that at the Closing it and each of its
shareholders (on their own behalf and on behalf of the Surviving Company) shall execute and deliver to the Federal Insurance Company and its subsidiary or affiliated insurers and any applicable co-sureties (collectively,
“Federal”), a General Agreement of Indemnity in the form attached as Exhibit A, pursuant to which Buyer and such shareholders agree to (i) indemnify Federal with respect to the performance and completion of the bonded
obligations as set forth therein; and (ii) replace within ninety (90) days the bonds identified as Cancelable Bonds therein. If, after the Closing, the amount of Bonded Obligations is increased due to the issuance of a rider, supplement or amendment
to an existing bond, then Surviving Company will pay Parent the actual cost of the increase plus a handling fee of 5% of the actual cost as reimbursement to Parent for the additional premium. Surviving Company further agrees to continue to provide
to Federal monthly written reports (with a copy to the Parent) as to the progress of the completion of the bonded jobs. Buyer further agrees to provide, from time to time and at the request of the Parent, a certificate or certificates certifying
that the Cancelable Bonds have been replaced, and as to such other matters concerning the performance by the Buyer of its post-closing obligations under this Agreement as Parent shall request. 
  
 4.8 Retained Claims. The Parent shall retain liability for certain
insured claims and other matters as set forth in Schedule 1.5 and in other specific provisions of this Agreement (the “Retained Liabilities”). The Buyer and the Surviving Company agree to cooperate with
the Parent in the defense of the Retained Liabilities and to make available the Surviving Company’s personnel and facilities for that purpose. The Parent shall retain as Excluded Assets and not transfer to the Buyer all books and records
associated with the Retained Liabilities, as well as any reserves established on the books of the Company for the Retained Liabilities, which reserves shall be paid in cash by the Buyer to the Parent at Closing. The Buyer shall pay and discharge
when due, and cause the Surviving Company to pay and discharge when due all liabilities of the Company and the Surviving Company in existence at the Effective Time. The Buyer represents to the Parent and the Company that following the Effective Time
and the closing of the other transactions contemplated hereby it will be solvent. The Buyer has no current plan or intention to liquidate the Surviving Company, merge the Surviving Company with or into another corporation, sell all of the stock of
the Surviving Company or cause the Surviving Company to discontinue the historic business of the Company and agrees not to take any such action until after the first anniversary of the Effective Time. 
  
 4.9 Confidentiality. The parties acknowledge that Conrad D. Eigenmann
and the Company previously executed a confidentiality agreement dated January 10, 2005 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms
until the completion of the Closing at which time Mr. Eigenmann’s obligations thereunder with respect to the Evaluation Materials (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) relating solely to the Company shall terminate. In addition, the
parties agree that the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and information provided to Buyer in connection with the execution hereof shall be subject to the same standard of confidentiality as set forth in the
Confidentiality Agreement. 
  

 10 

 4.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification. For a period of not less than six (6)
years from the Closing Date, Buyer and the Surviving Company shall exculpate, indemnify, advance expenses to and hold harmless all past and present employees, officers, agents and directors of the Company to the same extent such Persons are
currently exculpated, indemnified and advanced expenses by the Company pursuant to the FBCA or its articles of incorporation and bylaws for any acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing and the Surviving Company’s articles of
incorporation and bylaws will continue to include provisions to such effect. In the event that any indemnifiable claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, all rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of such
claim shall continue to the extent currently permitted under the FBCA and the Surviving Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws until such claim is disposed of or fully satisfied. 
  
 4.11 Financing. Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
and effectuate the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters on the terms set forth therein. Buyer agrees to notify Parent and the Company immediately if, at any time prior to the Closing Date, (i) either Commitment Letter shall expire or be
terminated for any reason, (ii) any financing source that is a party to a Commitment Letter notifies Buyer that such source no longer intends to provide financing to Buyer, or (iii) for any reason Buyer no longer believes in good faith that it will
be able to obtain any of the financing substantially on the terms described in the Commitment Letter.

 14 

 7.5 Sole Remedy. The sole remedy of the Company, the Parent and the Buyer Indemnifying Parties for

	8.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION. 

  
 8.1 Arbitration.  
  
 (a) Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated by this
Agreement or the transactions arising hereunder (including the validity, interpretation or applicability of this Section 8.1) shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration in Houston, Texas. Such arbitration will apply the
laws of the State of Texas and the commercial arbitration rules of AAA to resolve the dispute, and will be administered by the AAA. 
  
 (b) Written notice of arbitration must be given within one year after the notifying party has knowledge of accrual of the claim on which
the notice is based. If the claiming party fails to give notice of arbitration within that time, the claim shall be deemed to be waived and shall be barred from either arbitration or litigation. 
  
 (c) Such arbitration shall be conducted by one independent
and impartial arbitrator to be selected by mutual agreement of the parties, if possible. If the parties fail to reach agreement regarding appointment of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following receipt by one party of the other party’s
notice of arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected from a list or lists of proposed arbitrators submitted by AAA. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator shall be a licensed attorney with at least ten years of experience in the
practice of law. The selection process shall be that which is set forth in the AAA commercial arbitration rules then prevailing, except that (A) the number of preemptory strikes shall not be limited and (B), if the parties fail to select an
arbitrator from one or more lists, AAA shall not initially have the power to make an appointment but shall continue to submit additional lists until an arbitrator has been selected, but if no such arbitrator is selected within sixty (60) days after
the receipt of the first notice of arbitration, the AAA shall have the power to make an appointment and shall promptly do so. Initially, however, promptly following its receipt of a request to submit a list of proposed arbitrators, AAA shall convene
the parties in person or by telephone and attempt to facilitate their selection of an arbitrator by agreement. If the arbitrator should die, withdraw or otherwise become incapable of serving, a replacement shall be selected and appointed in a like
manner. 
  
 (d) The arbitrator shall render an
opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law with the reasons therefor stated. A transcript of the evidence adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall, upon request, be made available to either party. The fees and expenses of
the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties and advanced by them from time to time as required; provided that at the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator may award costs and expenses (including the costs of the arbitration
previously advanced and the fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts). No pre-arbitration discovery shall be permitted, except that the arbitrator shall have the power in his or her sole discretion, on application by either
party, to order pre-arbitration examination of 

  

 15 

 
the witnesses and documents that the other party intends to introduce in its case-in-chief at the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator shall render his or her
opinion and/or award within ninety (90) days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator shall not be empowered to award to either party any punitive damages in connection with any dispute between them arising out of or relating in
any way to this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated hereby or the transactions arising hereunder or thereunder, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover such damages. The arbitration hearings and award shall be
maintained in confidence. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in
this Section 8.1 and without prejudice to the above procedures, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for temporary injunctive or other provisional judicial relief if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable
damage or to preserve the status quo until such time as the arbitrator is selected and available to hear such party’s request for temporary relief. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and not subject to judicial review and
judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

	9.	EMPLOYEE MATTERS.  

  
 9.1 Hiring. At Closing, the Buyer shall establish and make available a group medical plan for all of the employees of the Surviving Company (the
“Transferred Employees”) and their dependents that is substantially similar to the group medical plan available to the Transferred Employees immediately prior to Closing under Parent’s plan. Parent’s plan will terminate as
to the Transferred Employees at the Assumed Effective Time. The Surviving Company shall credit the Transferred Employees with all service of the Transferred Employees recognized under the employee benefit plans, policies, programs, or arrangements
maintained by the Parent or the Company (the “Parent Plans”) as service with the Surviving Company for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and levels of benefits available, under all Surviving Company Plans. The
Surviving Company shall waive any coverage waiting period, pre-existing condition and actively-at-work requirements under the Surviving Company’s employee benefit plans, policies, programs, or arrangements (the “Surviving Company
Plans”) and shall provide that any expenses incurred before the Closing Date by a Transferred Employee (and his or her dependents) during the calendar year of the Closing shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the
applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions, and applicable annual and/or lifetime maximum benefit limitations of the Surviving Company Plans. The Surviving Company Plans shall not require contributions by Transferred
Employees at a rate that exceeds the rate in effect for other similarly situated employees of the Parent. Any reports or other information provided to Buyer by the Company or the Parent in connection with Buyer performing his obligations under this
Section 9.1 shall be at the sole expense of the Buyer. 
  

 16 

 9.2 Benefits. The Surviving Company shall be responsible for the payment of all amounts of wages,
bonuses and other remuneration (including discretionary benefits and bonuses) payable to the Transferred Employees of the Company accrued with respect to periods on or prior to the Closing (except for any employment taxes actually withheld by the
Company) together with amounts payable to such employees in connection with events occurring on or prior to the Closing. In addition, the Surviving Company shall be responsible for: 
  
 (a) all vacation pay and pay for other compensated absences earned or accrued by the Transferred Employees
as of the close of business on the Agreed Effective Date to the appropriate employee, including any related payroll burden (FICA and other pension or other employee benefit plan contributions and employment taxes) with respect thereto to the
appropriate Governmental Entity or other person, to the extent such pay has been accrued on the books of the Company at such close of business, based upon the remuneration of such employees normally used in computing such pay for other compensated
absences; and 
  
 (b) amounts accrued under the
Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) for the Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date but not yet transferred to the trustee of the Parent 401(k) Plan, including
without limitation, the accrued match, accrued payroll deductions representing elective deferrals, loan repayments and accrued profit sharing contribution, if any. 
  
 9.3 Parent 401(k) Plan. The Company, the Parent and the Buyer agree that, as soon as practicable after Closing, but
in any event within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Surviving Company shall establish a qualified 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “Surviving Company’s 401(k) Plan”) in accordance with Section 414(l) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Within 60 days after the Surviving Company’s 401(k) Plan is established and ready to accept transfers, the Parent shall
cause the transfer to the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan of the account balances in the Parent 401(k) Plan of the Transferred Employees. In connection with such transfer, the following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (a) The account balances of the Transferred Employees
transferred to the Surviving Company’s 401(k) Plan shall be subject to the provisions of the Surviving Company’s 401(k) Plan effective as of the date of transfer; provided, however that the Surviving Company’s 401(k) Plan shall
continue any benefits under the Parent 401(k) Plan as required under Section 411(d)(6) of the Code; and

	$1,950,750.00	 	August 31, 2005

  
 THE NEW FLORIDA
INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Maker”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with any successors or assigns,
the “Payee”), at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided, the principal sum of ONE MILLION NINE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,950,750.00), together with interest computed thereon at
the rate hereinafter provided. This Note shall be payable at 1800 West Loop South, Suite 500, Houston, Texas 77027, or at such other address as the holder of this Note shall from time to time designate. 
  
 This Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the National Prime
Rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal (the “Prime Rate”), plus four percent (4%), changing quarterly as said National Prime Rate changes, as of the first day of December, March, June and September. Interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360 day year, payable on a 30/360 day basis; that is interest as so calculated (360) shall be charged on the basis of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months in a year of 360 days. 
  
 This Note shall be due and payable as follows: 
  
 (i) On the first day of December, 2005, and on the first day of each third
month thereafter, through and including September 1, 2008, a quarterly principal payment of $162,562.50 shall be due and payable (Payee acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent required in the Subordination Agreement of even date herewith between
Payee and SunTrust Bank, a Georgia banking corporation, such payment may be required to be placed in the sinking fund account described therein) 
  
 (ii) On the first day of December, 2005 and on the first day of each third month thereafter, interest as it accrues on the outstanding balance of the Note
as provided herein shall become due and payable, until September 1, 2008, when the entire unpaid principal sum of this Note and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon shall be fully and finally due and payable. 
  
 All payments made under this Note shall be applied first against the accrued
and unpaid interest and the remainder against the principal balance hereof. 
  
 It is agreed that time is of the essence for this Note. 
  
 Maker agrees that upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events of default (“Event of Default”): 
  
 (a) failure of Maker to pay any interest on this Note or on any other indebtedness of Maker to Payee within
ten (10) days of when due; or 
  
 (b) failure of
Maker to pay principal on this Note when due; or 

 (c) the occurrence of any event of default specified in any of the other Loan Documents
(as hereinafter defined) and the failure to cure such default within ten (10) days after written notice from Payee to Maker of default; or 
  
 (d) the bankruptcy or insolvency of, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the appointment of a receiver for any of the
property of, or the liquidation, termination, dissolution or death or legal incapacity of, any party liable for the payment of this Note, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise; 
  
 The holder of this Note may, at its option, without further notice or demand,
(i) accelerate and declare the outstanding principal balance of and any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note immediately due and payable without notice, (ii) foreclose all liens securing payment hereof, (iii) exercise all of the other rights,
remedies and recourses available to Payee under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity or (iv) pursue any combination of the foregoing. Any failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver by Payee of the right to exercise the same at
any other time an Event of Default exists. To the extent that the provisions of this paragraph conflict with any other provision of this Note or any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this paragraph shall control.

  
 This Note shall be secured by a security interest in favor of
the Payee in all of the assets of Maker and any proceeds therefrom, excepting those assets listed on Exhibit “A” hereto, pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith between Maker and Payee (the “Loan
Agreement”). The Maker further agrees to execute (and authorizes Payee to execute on his behalf) any and all other such documents, including without limitation financing statements, as are necessary to evidence or perfect such security
interest. This Note shall also be secured by a Guaranty Agreement of even date herewith executed by Conrad D. Eigenmann and Mirabilis Ventures, Inc. (the “Guaranty”, and together with the Loan Agreement and any and all other
documents or agreements securing payment of the Note, the “Loan Documents”). 
  
 All sums of principal and interest past due under the terms of this Note shall bear interest at a per annum interest rate equal to the lesser of the Prime
Rate plus six percent (6%) per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law from the due date thereof until paid. 
  
 In the event of default hereunder and this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection (whether or not suit is filed), or if this Note is
collected by suit or legal proceedings or through bankruptcy proceedings, the Maker agrees to pay in addition to all sums then due hereon, including principal and interest, all expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees. 
  
 This Note may be prepaid in whole or in
part from time to time, without premium or penalty. Each prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by an amount equal to the accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment. 
  
 The Maker and any and all sureties, guarantors and endorsers of this Note and
all other parties now or hereafter liable hereon, severally waive grace, demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, any other notice and diligence in
collecting and bringing suit against any party 

  

 2 

 
hereto and agree (i) to all extensions and partial payments, with or without notice, before or after maturity, (ii) to any substitution, exchange or release
of any security now or hereafter given for this Note, (iii) to the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon, and (iv) that it will not be necessary for the holder hereof, in order to enforce payment of this Note, to first
institute or exhaust such holder’s remedies against the Maker or any other party liable therefor or against any security for this Note. No delay on the part of the Payee in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver
of such power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power of right preclude further exercise of that power or right. 
  
 All agreements between the Maker and the holder hereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the funds
advanced pursuant to this Note, or otherwise, or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or pertaining to this Note exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or any other document or instrument exceeds the maximum amount of interest prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law, which would exceed interest at the highest lawful rate, such amount which
would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or on account of any other principal indebtedness of the Maker to the holder hereof, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Maker. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, by the Maker for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of the
Maker to the holder of this Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of
such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term hereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements between the Maker and the holder hereof. 
  
 This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas. 
  

 3 

 All references to the Maker herein shall, and shall be deemed to, include its successors and assigns, and
all covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements contained herein by or on behalf of the Maker shall be binding upon its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

previously advanced and the fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts). No pre-arbitration discovery shall be permitted, except that the arbitrator shall have the power in his or her sole discretion, on application by either

to the above procedures, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for temporary injunctive or other provisional judicial relief if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo until such

any other right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder.

understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

against NFIE. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be in any way discharged, released, or impaired or otherwise affected, and the rights of Lender hereunder shall not be in any way diminished or otherwise affected by (i) any insolvency
or bankruptcy of NFIE or transfer by NFIE of control of NFIE or any merger, consolidation or sale of assets by or involving NFIE; (ii) any failure, delay or waiver on the part of Lender, whether with or without fault on its part, in enforcing the
obligations of the NFIE under the Note; (iii) the existence of any claims, set-off or other rights which Guarantor may have at any time against 

 
NFIE or any other person or entity, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; (iv) any Applicable Law requiring Lender to file suit
against NFIE or take any other action against NFIE as a prerequisite to Lender taking any action or bringing any suit against Guarantor under this Guaranty; (v) each and every other defense to which Guarantor might be entitled; or (vi) any other
circumstances which might be deemed to constitute a legal or equitable defense of Guarantor as a surety or guarantor or otherwise, it being understood, however, that the liability of Guarantor to perform the obligations of NFIE under the Note shall
be subject to the express provisions, including any limitations, exculpations or adjustments, contained therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this
Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or notice of any default in respect to this Guaranty and any and all other notices which may be required to preserve intact all rights against Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees
that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by any modification, termination or extension of any provision of the Merger Agreement or the Note. 
  
 Section 4. Death or Insolvency. In the event of the insolvency or death of Guarantor, Lender shall have the option to
declare the Note immediately due and payable unless such Guarantor is replaced by a Guarantor approved by Lender in its sole discretion within 30 days after such insolvency or death. 
  
 Section 5. Duration. This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until all obligations of NFIE under the
Note shall have been satisfied and paid. If at any time any payment by NFIE pursuant to the Note is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned, whether upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of NFIE or otherwise, Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
  
 Section 6. Other Remedies. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained in this Guaranty shall prevent Lender from suing or from exercising any
rights available to it under the Merger Agreement or the Note. The failure or forbearance of Lender to exercise any right hereunder, or otherwise granted to it by law or another agreement, shall not affect the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and
shall not constitute a waiver of said right. The rights of Lender under this Guaranty shall be cumulative and not exclusive of each other. 
  
 Section 7. Security. Guarantor authorizes Lender, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder, (a) to
take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations, and to exchange, enforce, waive and/or release any such security; (b) to apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in his discretion may determine; (c) to
obtain a guaranty of the Obligations from any one or more other persons, corporations or entities whomsoever and to enforce, waive, rearrange, modify, limit or release at any time or times such other persons, corporations or entities from their
obligations under such guaranties; and (d) to fully or partially release at any time any Guarantor who executes this Guaranty whether with or without consideration. The liability and obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or
impaired by (a) the failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection or other handling or treatment of all or any part of the collateral securing payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, (b) the failure of any security interest or lien intended to be granted or created to 

  

 2 

 
secure the Obligations to be properly perfected or created or the unenforceability of any security interest or lien for any other reason, or (c) the
subordination of any such security interest or lien to any other security interest or lien. 
  
 Section 8. Waiver. Guarantor waives any right to require Lender to (a) proceed against, or make any effort at the collection of the Obligations from NFIE or any other guarantor or party liable for the
Obligations; (b) proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power whatsoever. Guarantor further waives any and all rights and remedies which Guarantor may have or be able to assert by
reason of the provisions of Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code or Section 3.605 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability, lack of corporate authority or power, or other
defense of NFIE or any other guarantor of the Obligations, and Guarantor shall remain liable under this Guaranty regardless of whether NFIE or any other guarantor be found not liable on the Obligations for any reason including, without limitation,
insanity, minority, disability, bankruptcy, insolvency, death or corporate dissolution even though rendering the Obligations void or unenforceable or uncollectible as against NFIE or any other guarantor. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of NFIE or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made and will, thereupon, guarantee payment of such amount as to which refund or restitution has been made, together with interest accruing thereon subsequent to the date of refund or restitution at the highest lawful rate permitted by
applicable law and collection costs and fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) applicable thereto. 
  
 Section 9. Usury. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with all applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Guaranty, or in any documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Guaranty or such documents require the payment or permit the collection of an aggregate
amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws, including the laws of the State of Texas and the laws of the United States of America. If any such excess of interest is contracted for, charged or received under this
Guaranty or under the terms of any documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, or if under any circumstances, the amount of interest (including all amounts payable hereunder which are not denominated as interest but which
constitute interest under the applicable laws) contracted for, charged or received under this Guaranty shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the applicable usury laws, then in any such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph
shall govern and control, (b) Guarantor shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by the applicable usury laws, (c) any such excess interest which may
have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid Obligations or, if the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to Guarantor, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the
maximum lawful contract rate allowed under the applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest
contracted for, charged or received under this Guaranty or under such other documents which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable
usury laws, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during 

  

 3 

 
the full period during which this Guaranty is to be in effect, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Guarantor or otherwise by
the holder or holders hereof in connection with this Guaranty. 
  
 Section 10. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, its heirs, successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by Lender and its successors and assigns.

  
 Section 11. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Texas. 
  
 Section 12. Severability. If any term or provision hereof is declared to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever by any arbitral body or court of competent jurisdiction, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which terms and provisions shall remain binding and enforceable. 
  
 Section 13. Notices. Any notice provided or permitted hereunder shall comply with the notice procedures in Section 10.1 of the Merger Agreement.

  
 Section 14. Assignment Prohibited. This Guaranty shall
not be assigned or delegated by Guarantor without the prior written approval of Lender. 
  
 Section 15. Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights that may have arisen in connection with this Guaranty to be subrogated to any of the
rights of Lender against NFIE. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this
Guaranty has been executed effective as of the date set forth above.
