Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase and accept from Shareholder, the Purchased Shares owned by
Shareholder.

     2.2 The Closing. The Closing shall take place with the simultaneous execution of this
Agreement and the Closing Date shall be March 1, 2010 as agreed to by the Parties hereto (the
“Closing Date”).

     2.3 Purchase Price Consideration; Adjustment.

          (a) (i) Determination of Purchase Price. The total amount of consideration to be
paid by Buyer to Shareholder, in the aggregate for all of the Purchased Shares, shall be an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity, plus (B) Ten Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($10,500,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”).

               (ii) Estimated Purchase Price. For purposes of determining the amount of the Purchase
Price to be paid on the Closing (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), the Estimated Purchase Price
shall be determined in the same manner as the Purchase Price is to be determined, except that the
Estimated Purchase Price shall be based upon the Closing Date Shareholder’s Equity as reflected on
the unaudited but not reviewed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date
(the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”), which shall be delivered to Buyer prior to Closing

shall be paid as follows:

               (i) to Shareholder less the Escrow Amount; and

          (c) Adjustment of the Purchase Price. In order to conclusively determine the Purchase
Price as of the Closing Date, the Company and Buyer, with the cooperation of Shareholder, will
cause a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (the
“Closing Date Balance Sheet”) to be prepared as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date
and Buyer will engage McGladrey & Pullen LLP (“McGladrey”) to perform a review, in accordance with
AICPA Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services, of the Closing Date Balance Sheet
(as reviewed, the “Reviewed Closing Date Balance Sheet”). The Reviewed Closing Date Balance Sheet
shall be prepared based upon the Company’s books and records in accordance with GAAP except (i) no
adjustment shall be made to the carrying value of inventory solely as a result of the methodology
used by the Company to account for cash discounts or chassis rebates, (ii) only inventory (other
than parts and services inventory) which is not reasonably anticipated to be used in the ordinary
course of business in the two years following the Closing Date shall be deemed slow moving and
shall be written down to realizable value and (iii) inventory will be valued at the lower of cost
or market on a first-in-first-out basis.

          (d) The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause McGladrey to complete and
deliver the Reviewed Closing Date Balance Sheet to Buyer and Shareholder within sixty (60) days
after McGladrey’s receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet. The Parties shall cooperate with
McGladrey in connection with such audit and shall provide McGladrey with all books, records and
other papers necessary for such purpose.

          (e) Upon delivery of the Reviewed Closing Date Balance Sheet, Buyer and Deloitte & Touche LLP
(“D&T”) will be allowed access to and review McGladrey’s work papers prepared in connection with
its review of the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

               (i) The Reviewed Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be final and binding on the Parties, unless
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof either Shareholder or Buyer (as the case may be)
shall give the other Party a notice of objection (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice
shall specify each item Shareholder or Buyer (as applicable) objects to in the Reviewed Closing
Date Balance Sheet, together with a calculation of each disputed amount, and shall include all
supporting calculations and data used in that determination. Any item in the Reviewed Closing Date
Balance Sheet that is not objected to in the Objection Notice shall be deemed agreed and shall be
final and binding on the Parties.

               (ii) In the event an Objection Notice is given, Buyer and Shareholder, together with D&T and
McGladrey or such other party identified by Buyer and Shareholder, as the case may be, shall meet
in an effort to resolve any objection and arrive at a final determination. If Buyer and
Shareholder are unable to arrive at a final determination within ten (10) days after an Objection
Notice is given, the matter shall be submitted for final determination to Independent Accountant.
Independent Accountant shall make a final determination in writing as to all matters in dispute
within thirty (30) days after its appointment, and such determination shall be final and binding on
the Parties.

               (iii) Within five (5) days after the engagement of Independent Accountant, Shareholder and
Buyer shall each furnish, at their own expense, to Independent Accountant and the other Party, a
written statement of their position with respect to each matter

11

 

in dispute. Within five (5) days after expiration of the original five (5) day period,
Shareholder and Buyer may deliver to Independent Accountant and to the other Party their response
to the other’s position on matters in dispute. With each submission, Shareholder and Buyer may also
furnish to Independent Accountant such other information and documents as they deem relevant or
such information and documents as may be requested by Independent Accountant with appropriate
copies or notification being given to the other Party. Independent Accountant may, in its
discretion, conduct a conference concerning the disagreement with Shareholder and Buyer, at which
conference each Party shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other
information and to have present its advisors, counsel and accountants. In connection with such
process, there shall be no hearings, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other
similar proceedings conducted by any Party or by Independent Accountant.

               (iv) Buyer shall pay any fees owing to D&T in connection with this Section 2.3(e) and
Shareholder shall pay any fees owing to McGladrey in connection with this Section 2.3(e). Any fees
owing to Independent Accountant in connection with this Section 2.3(e) shall be paid in direct
proportion to the amounts of the disputed items that are lost by Shareholder or Buyer, as the case
may be.

          (f) Method of Adjustment. In the event that the Purchase Price as finally determined
pursuant to Section 2.3(c) is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price as determined pursuant to
Section 2.3(a)(ii), Buyer shall pay such difference in cash to Shareholder. In the event that the
Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c) is less than the Estimated
Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii), such difference shall be withdrawn
from the Escrow Funds and delivered to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.4. In the event that the
Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c) is less than the Estimated
Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii), and such difference exceeds the
balance of Escrow Funds in the escrow account at such time, Shareholder shall pay into the escrow
account, for the benefit of Buyer, the amount of the deficiency by wire transfer of immediately
available funds.

     2.4 Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article II, on
the Closing Date, the Escrow Amount will be deposited into an interest bearing escrow account, to
be held by Escrow Agent pursuant to an Escrow Agreement to be entered into on the Closing Date. The
Escrow Funds will secure (x) any adjustments to the Purchase Price as provided for in Section
2.3(f) and (y) Shareholder’s indemnification obligations under Article IX of this Agreement. The
Escrow Funds will be withdrawn or released as follows:

          (a) upon the final determination of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.3(f), if
Buyer is entitled to receive any cash in connection with an adjustment of the Purchase Price, such
amount shall be withdrawn from the Escrow Funds in accordance with 

Section 2.3(f) and paid to
Buyer within five (5) Business Days after such final determination;

          (b) following the withdrawal, if any, of the Escrow Funds as provided in clause (a) above, if
less than $2,000,000.00 shall remain after such withdrawal, Shareholder, within five (5) Business
Days after such withdrawal, shall deposit such additional cash as needed to cause the Escrow Funds
to be replenished to an amount equal to $2,000,000.00; provided, however, that
Shareholder shall not be required to deposit additional cash pursuant to

12

 

this Section 2.4(b) if the total amount of Escrow Funds disbursed to Buyer pursuant to
Article IX plus the amount remaining Escrow Funds (immediately prior to any requirement to
replenish funds pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)) would exceed the Indemnification Cap, immediately
following any requirement to replenish funds; and

          (c) the remaining Escrow Funds, if any, will be released to Shareholder on the date that is
twelve months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that if prior to such
date, Buyer gives notice of a claim or claims for indemnification pursuant to Article IX, then:
(i) if any such claim is resolved prior to such date, by judicial determination or otherwise, any
sums due Buyer shall be withdrawn from the Escrow Funds and paid to Buyer within five (5) Business
Days after such resolution or (ii) if any such claim is not resolved prior to such date, the
amount of such claim, plus the reasonably estimated amount of legal fees and disbursements to be
incurred in connection therewith, shall be retained as Escrow Funds until such claim is resolved.

     2.5 Determination of Adjusted Gross-Up Basis for Tax Purposes.

          (a) Adjusted Gross Up Basis (“AGUB”) of Buyer shall include (i) the Purchase Price (as
defined in Section 2.3) plus (ii) the Make-Whole Amount plus (iii) the Change of Control Payments
plus (iv) any Non-Accrued Change of Control Payments or similar amounts plus (v) all liabilities
of the Company assumed by Buyer.

          (b) The Parties acknowledge that the Change of Control Payments and any Non-Accrued Change of
Control Payments represent liabilities of the Company, which are not being assumed by Buyer for
any tax purpose.

          (c) The Parties agree that the Company shall have the right to claim a tax deduction for the
Change of Control Payments and Non-Accrued Change of Control Payments on its Tax Return for the
period beginning on January 1, 2010 and ending on the Closing Date.

beneficiaries) of the Company; (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Employee
Benefit Plan; (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such

Price (payable in cash at least thirty (30) days before additional taxes are due and payable by
Shareholder), such amount as is required to cause Shareholder to receive the same after Tax
proceeds as if such election would not have been

37

 

made, including any additional Taxes payable by Shareholder by virtue of the receipt of such
additional Purchase Price but excluding any built-in gains Tax; provided that in no event
shall any amount required to be paid by Buyer to Shareholder pursuant to this Section 6.3(a)
exceed $325,000.00 (the “Make-Whole Amount”).

          (b) Buyer shall calculate the Make-Whole Amount and promptly deliver the calculation
(accompanied by reasonable detail as to how it was computed) to Shareholder. For purposes of
calculating the Make Whole Amount under this Section 6.3, the total amount of gain realized by the
Company pursuant to a deemed asset purchase pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code shall be
the same as the total amount of gain realized by Shareholder pursuant to a stock purchase. Buyer
shall provide Shareholder with reasonable access during normal business hours to and the right to
copy any documentation reasonably requested by Shareholder in connection with Buyer’s
determination of the Make-Whole Amount. Shareholder may object to the calculation of the
Make-Whole Amount by notifying Buyer in writing of such objection, and the basis therefore within
thirty (30) days of Shareholder’s receipt of Buyer’s calculation of the Make-Whole Amount.
Shareholder and Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute over the calculation of
the Make-Whole Amount; provided, however, if the Parties are unable to agree on the calculation of
the Make-Whole Amount within thirty (30) days following Shareholder’s notice to Buyer that they
disagree with Buyer’s calculation of the Make-Whole Amount, the issue shall be referred to
Independent Accountant to resolve such dispute using the procedures set forth in Section
2.3(e)(iv) and the decision of Independent Accountant shall be conclusive and binding on the
Parties. The expenses pertaining to any dispute resolution regarding the Make-Whole Amount shall
be shared by the Parties in accordance with the applicable terms provided for in Section 2.3.

          (c) If an Election is made, Buyer, the Company, and Shareholder agree that the AGUB of the
Company (plus other relevant items) initially will be allocated to the assets of the Company for
all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule derived
from the calculation of the Make Whole Amount. Buyer may amend Section 6.3 of the Disclosure
Schedules from time to time (i) to account for (A) adjustments, if any, to the Purchase Price or
(B) distributions, if any, of Escrow Funds to Shareholder, or (ii) to reflect differences, if any,
between the asset allocation for Tax purposes and the asset allocation for financial accounting
purposes; provided that the allocation schedule derived from the Make Whole Amount shall not be
amended in any manner that adversely effects Shareholder. Buyer, the Company, and Shareholder
shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information
reports in a manner consistent with the determination relied upon for purposes of calculating the
Make Whole Amount.

          (d) If an Election is made, Buyer shall prepare all federal tax forms, including U.S. federal
tax Forms 8023 and 8883, and comparable state and local tax forms that may be required to effect a
valid Election for federal and comparable state and local tax purposes (“338(h)(10) Election
Forms”). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall furnish Shareholder with a
copy of the 338(h)(10) Election Forms.

               (i) As soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days, after the receipt of U.S. federal tax
Form 8023 (and comparable state and local tax forms) (the “Election

38

 

Forms”) from Buyer, Shareholder shall furnish Buyer with the Election Forms signed by each
Shareholder. Buyer shall file the Election Forms within the applicable time period.

               (ii) As soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days, after the date of (i) any
adjustment to the Purchase Price or (ii) any distribution of Escrow Funds to Shareholder, Buyer
shall furnish Shareholder with a copy of the appropriate amended 338(h)(10) Election Forms,
including an amended U.S. federal tax Form 8883.

               (iii) Buyer shall work together with Shareholder to address any comments Shareholder may have
to the 338(h)(10) Election Forms; provided however, subject to the restrictions set forth in
sub-paragraph (c) above, Buyer shall not be obligated to modify such forms in accordance with any
such comments.

     6.4 Straddle and Tax Election.

          (a) The Company, Shareholder and Buyer agree that the Company’s 2010 fiscal year shall be
treated as if the taxable year consisted of two taxable years, the first of which begins January
1, 2010 and ends on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Period”) and the second of which begins
after the Closing Date and ends December 31, 2010. This election shall be binding on the Company
and any of the Company’s successors or assigns for the taxable year in question.

          (b) The accountant(s) for Shareholder shall prepare the Company’s state and federal income
Tax Returns for the period from January 1, 2010, through the Closing Date. D&T shall prepare the
Company’s state and federal income Tax Returns for the period after the Closing Date through July
31, 2010 (“Closing Date Tax Return”). Shareholder and their respective representatives shall be
permitted to review the Closing Date Tax Return and the work papers pertaining to the Closing Date
Tax Return, prior to the issuance of the Closing Date Tax Return, and to consult with D&T in the
course of their preparation of the Closing Date Tax Return, and to discuss D&T’s conclusions
therein.

     6.5 Retention of Records. Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiary to retain
all books and records relating to pre-closing tax, accounting or legal matters for a period of at
least five (5) years from the Closing; provided, however, that at the end of such five (5) year
period any such document or record may be disposed of by the Company and its Subsidiary if they
first offer to surrender possession thereof to Shareholder at their expense. Shareholder shall have
the right during business hours, upon reasonable notice to Buyer, to inspect and make copies of any
such records for any reasonable purpose.

     6.6 Bonus and Continuing Employees. Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiary
to pay out all bonuses to existing employees (other than James Evans and Chuck Drake) pursuant to
existing bonus plans of the Company, including paying any and all discretionary bonuses consistent
with past practice. For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the
Company and its Subsidiary to provide to each Company Employee who remains employed by the Company
and/or its Subsidiary with compensation and benefits that are, in the aggregate, at least
substantially equivalent to those provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the
Closing Date.

39

against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand in

Shareholder’s representations and warranties shall be reduced by any investigation made at any

     9.2 Indemnification by Shareholder.

          (a) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shareholder agrees to
indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates (including following the Closing, the Company and its
Subsidiary) and their respective officers, directors, stockholders and each of their respective
Affiliates (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) against and hold them harmless to the extent of any
Losses arising out of or resulting from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of the
Company or Shareholder contained herein; (ii) the breach of any representation or warranty of the
Company or Shareholder contained in the SJC Real Estate Purchase Agreement, SJC Real Estate Option

(as identified on Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule) (the “Ken-Mac Litigation”).

          (b) Buyer Indemnified Parties’ indemnification rights pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall be
limited as follows:

               (i) Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification until the aggregate
dollar amount of all Losses that would otherwise be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)
exceeds $250,000.00 (the “Basket”), whereupon, Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
indemnification for the full amount of such Losses over and above $125,000.00.

               (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer Indemnified Parties
shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a):

                    (A) with respect to any Loss that is set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or which has been
expressly reserved for on the Audited Closing Date Balance Sheet;

                    (B) in connection with any claim for indemnification based upon a claim, assessment or
deficiency for any Tax which arises from adjustments having the effect only of shifting income,
credits and/or deductions from one fiscal period to another;

44

 

                    (C) with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(b)(i), unless the Buyer
Indemnified Party has given Shareholder written notice of such claim, setting forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto, (x) as soon as practicable following the
Buyer Indemnified Party’s discovery of such claim and (y) prior to the expiration of the
representation and warranty; and

                    (D) to the extent of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Party,
the Company or a Subsidiary in connection with the facts giving rise to such indemnification.

               (iii) Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification for any amount of
indemnifiable Losses in excess of $4,000,000.00 (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, however,
that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims for indemnification based upon one or more
(A) breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.7 (Tax Matters), Section
4.12 (Compliance with Laws), Section 4.16 (Environmental Matters) or Section 4.29 (Compliance with
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), other Anti-bribery Laws and other U.S. Trade Laws), (B)
fraud or willful misconduct, or (C) Losses related to Taxes. With respect to any claim for
indemnification based upon one or more breaches of the representation or warranty contained in
Section 4.22 (Product Liability; Product Recalls), the right of a Buyer Indemnified Party to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be limited to the aggregate amount of Losses not
to exceed the Purchase Price; provided however, to the extent that the basis for
any Losses claimed by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to the foregoing is otherwise covered by a
warranty, including a warranty provided by the Company, a Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be
entitled to any indemnification from Shareholder pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(iii). In
connection with the Ken-Mac Litigation, the Parties agree that Buyer will bear Losses of the
Company (in the form of defense costs) (“Ken-Mac Defense Costs”) up to $20,000.00 in the aggregate;
provided that, in the event (A) Ken-Mac Defense Costs exceed $20,000.00 and/or (B)
the Company incurs an adverse judgment from the Ken-Mac Litigation that results in Losses to the
Company (excluding Ken-Mac Defense Costs for the avoidance of duplication), Shareholder shall be
responsible for reimbursing Buyer for all Ken-Mac Defense Costs on a dollar-for-dollar basis above
$20,000.00 and/or for all Losses incurred by the Company in connection with any adverse judgment
(excluding Ken-Mac Defense Costs for the avoidance of duplication), without any application of the
Indemnification Cap or the Basket. Shareholder shall deliver such reimbursement (“Ken-Mac
Reimbursement Obligation”) to Buyer within three (3) Business Days of receipt of an invoice from
Buyer evidencing incurred Losses of the Company. In the event Shareholder fails to satisfy its
Ken-Mac Reimbursement Obligation within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the respective
invoice, Buyer shall have the right to satisfy the Ken-Mac Reimbursement Obligation out of the
Escrow Funds and Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right of objection to such
satisfaction, as contemplated by the Escrow Agreement.

          (c) The
amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under this Section 9.2 shall be
calculated net of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by Buyer Indemnified Party on
account of such Loss, and (ii) any indemnification payments made by any third party.

          (d) A Buyer Indemnified Party shall give Shareholder written notice of any claim, assertion,
event or proceeding as to which such Buyer Indemnified Party has determined

45

 

has given or could
give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within sixty (60) days of such
determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and
containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of
indemnification is claimed or arises and shall include copies of all correspondence received from
any third party in connection with any such claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide
such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Parties from
any of their obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying
Parties are materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party
from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Buyer Indemnified Party otherwise
than under this Article IX.

          (e) With respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Section
9.2(a), Shareholder shall have the right to direct, through counsel of its own choosing, the
defense or settlement of any such claim or proceeding at Shareholder’s expense, provided that
Shareholder acknowledges on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties in writing their obligation to
indemnify Buyer Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third
Party Claim. If Shareholder elects to assume the defense of any such claim or proceeding,
Shareholder shall consult with Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of allowing Buyer
Indemnified Party to participate in such defense, but in such case the expenses of Buyer
Indemnified Party shall be paid for by Buyer Indemnified Party and shall not be recoverable as
part of any indemnification claim. In the event Shareholder assumes the defense of a Third Party
Claim, Shareholder shall not have the right to settle such claim without the consent of any Buyer
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) includes injunctive or other equitable relief
imposed against any Buyer Indemnified Party, (ii) contains an admission of wrongdoing or liability
on behalf of any Buyer Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (iii) would reasonably involve
indemnifiable Losses which taken together with all previous indemnifiable Losses would exceed the
Indemnification Cap, or (iv) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Company and/or its Subsidiary in any taxable period other than a Pre-Closing Period. Each Buyer
Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiary to, reasonably cooperate
with Shareholder and to provide Shareholder and their counsel with reasonable access to all
records and personnel relating to any such claim, assertion, event or proceeding during normal
business hours and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Shareholder in the defense or
settlement thereof. If Shareholder elects to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding,
Buyer Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand
arising from such asserted liability unless Shareholder consents in writing to such payment, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Shareholder fails to defend or if, after
commencing or undertaking any such defense, Shareholder fails to prosecute or withdraw from such
defense, Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement
thereof. If Buyer Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claim or proceeding and
proposes to settle such claim or proceeding, then Buyer Indemnified Party shall give Shareholder
prompt written notice thereof, and Shareholder shall have the right to participate in the
settlement of such claim or proceeding and to consent thereto or assume or reassume the defense of
such claim or proceeding. In the event Shareholder assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, any
and all Losses paid in connection with such claim by Shareholder shall be limited to any remaining
amount under the Indemnification Cap to the extent applicable thereto, and nothing herein shall be
construed as an assumption of liability of any such claim by Shareholder beyond the
Indemnification Cap (to

46

 

the extent applicable to such claim). In all circumstances, Buyer
Indemnified Parties shall reasonably cooperate and in good faith with Shareholder with respect to
any claims subject to this Article IX.

          (f) With respect to any non-Third Party Claim for indemnification hereunder, if the parties
hereto are unable to negotiate a settlement of such claim, then such claim shall be resolved in
accordance with Article XI.

          (g) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Loss
arising from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein (and
the amount of any Loss incurred in respect of such breach shall not be included in the calculation
of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent that such liability is
included in the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price and/or the Purchase Price.

          (h) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except in the case of fraud or willful
misconduct, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein
shall give rise to any right on the part of Buyer or a Buyer Indemnified Party, after the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

          (i) Except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be
entitled to indemnification for any consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages or any
multiple of damages or diminution in value.

          (j) Any liability for indemnification under this Section 9.2 shall be determined without
duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting
a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

     9.3 Tax Indemnification.

          (a) Each Buyer Indemnified Party shall be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed by
Shareholder for and against any and all liability for Taxes and related Losses imposed on or borne
by Buyer with respect to any Pre-Closing Period in excess of the amounts set forth on the
Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, and with respect to any Pre-Closing Period, for the portion
thereof ending on the Closing Date in excess of the amounts set forth on the Audited Closing Date
Balance Sheet.

          (b) In the case of any Pre-Closing Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of
the Pre-Closing Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be:

               (i) In the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property
Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on
an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a

               (ii) In the case of Taxes not described in (i) above (such as franchise Taxes, Taxes that are
based upon or related to income or receipts, based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any
sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible)), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined based on an interim
closing of the books of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

          (c) Buyer may withhold, from amounts otherwise due to Shareholder, the amount of any
indemnity amount payable under this Section 9.3.

     9.4 Indemnification by Buyer.

          (a) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shareholder and their
respective officers, directors, stockholders and each of their respective affiliates (each a
“Shareholder Indemnified Party”) shall be held harmless and indemnified by Buyer to the extent of
any Losses resulting from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained
herein; or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained herein. Additionally,
Shareholder shall be held harmless and indemnified by Buyer to the extent of any Losses resulting
from any personal liability incurred by Shareholder under a performance bond of the Company (which
was in place prior to the Closing) where Shareholder agreed to personally guarantee the
obligations of the Company.

          (b) The Shareholder Indemnified Parties’ indemnification rights pursuant to Section 9.4(a)
shall be limited as follows:

               (i) The Shareholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification until the
aggregate dollar amount of all Losses that would otherwise be indemnifiable pursuant to Section
9.4(a) exceeds the Basket, whereupon, the Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
indemnification for the full amount of such Losses over and above $125,000.00.

               (ii) The Shareholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification for any
amount of indemnifiable Losses in excess of an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap; provided,
however, that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims for indemnification based upon (A)
breaches of the Excluded Buyer Representations or (B) fraud and or willful misconduct.

          (c) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under this Section 9.4 shall be
calculated net of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Shareholder Indemnified
Party on account of such Loss and (ii) any indemnification payments made by any third party.

          (d) A Shareholder Indemnified Party shall give Buyer written notice of any claim, assertion,
event or proceeding as to which such Shareholder Indemnified Party has determined has given or
would give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within sixty (60) days of such
determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and
containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of
indemnification is claimed or arises and shall include copies of all correspondence received from
any third party in connection with any such claim; provided,

48

 

however, that the failure to provide
such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Parties from any of
their obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party
from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Shareholder Indemnified Party
otherwise than under this Article IX.

          (e) With respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Section
9.4(a), Buyer shall have the right to direct, through counsel of its own choosing, the defense or
settlement of any such claim or proceeding at its own expense, provided, that Buyer acknowledges
on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties in writing its obligation to indemnify the Shareholder
Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim. If
Buyer elects to assume the defense of any such claim or proceeding, Buyer shall consult with the
Shareholder Indemnified Party for the purpose of allowing the Shareholder Indemnified Party to
participate in such defense, but in such case the expenses of the Shareholder Indemnified Party
shall be paid for by the Shareholder Indemnified Party and shall not be recoverable as part of any
indemnification claim. A Shareholder Indemnified Party shall provide Buyer and its counsel with
reasonable access to all records and personnel relating to any such claim, assertion, event or
proceeding during normal business hours and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Buyer in the
defense or settlement thereof. If Buyer elects to direct the defense of any such claim or
proceeding, the Shareholder Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any
claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless Buyer consents in writing to such
payment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Buyer fails to defend or
if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, Buyer fails to prosecute or withdraws from
such defense, the Shareholder Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or
settlement thereof. If the Shareholder Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claim or
proceeding and proposes to settle such claim or proceeding, then the Shareholder Indemnified Party
shall give Buyer prompt written notice thereof, and Buyer shall have the right to participate in
the settlement of such claim or proceeding and consent thereto or assume or reassume the defense
of such claim or proceeding.

          (f) With respect to any non-Third Party Claim for indemnification hereunder, if the parties
are unable to negotiate a settlement of such claim, then such claim shall be resolved in
accordance with Article XI.

          (g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except in the case of fraud or willful
misconduct, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein
shall give rise to any right on the part of a Shareholder Indemnified Party, after the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

          (h) Except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, the Shareholder Indemnified Parties
shall not be entitled to indemnification for any consequential, special, exemplary or punitive
damages or any multiple of damages or diminution in value.

          (i) Any liability for indemnification under this Section 9.4 shall be determined without
duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such

49

 

liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement.

     9.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. Buyer and Shareholder agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article IX
as an adjustment to the AGUB.

     9.6 Other Indemnification Provisions.

          (a) Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have no right
or remedy to take any action in respect of, and the Company, and Shareholder shall have no
liability to Buyer in respect of, any breach by the Company or Shareholder of any representations
or warranties contained herein or any failure to comply with any of the covenants, conditions or
agreements contained herein, except (i) to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article X hereof,
in which event, the Company and Shareholder shall thereupon have no obligation or liability to
Buyer whatsoever hereunder or (ii) to seek specific performance or injunctive relief.

          (b) From and after the Closing, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, the rights
of the Parties to indemnification relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article IX and such indemnification
rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties subsequent to the Closing with
respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith. To
the maximum extent permitted by law, the Parties hereby waive all other rights and remedies with
respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith,
whether at common law or otherwise.

EXECUTION COPY

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of March 1, 2010, by and between Christopher
J. Graff (“Shareholder”) and THOR INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

BACKGROUND

          A. Prior to the date hereof, Shareholder was the sole shareholder of SJC Industries Corp., an
Indiana corporation (“SJC Industries”). Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, with an effective
date of March 1, 2010 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Shareholder
and SJC Industries whereby the Company, among other things, will acquire 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of SJC Industries (the “Common Stock”) from Shareholder.

          B. As the sole shareholder and former officer of SJC Industries, Shareholder made a
significant contribution to the growth, profitability and financial strength of SJC Industries and,
as the sole shareholder of SJC Industries, Shareholder will receive substantial consideration
consisting of cash pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

          C. Shareholder acknowledges that he is aware of the Business (as defined below) in which SJC
Industries is engaged, which includes the design, manufacture, assembly and mounting of ambulance
and other specialty vehicle bodies on commercially available truck chassis by SJC Industries; that
Shareholder is one of the very limited number of persons who has developed the business of SJC
Industries to its present condition and who is capable of carrying out a business in competition
with the Business; that the Business is international in scope; that Shareholder’s work with
respect to the Business has brought him into close contact with proprietary and confidential
information and the affairs of SJC Industries that is not readily available to the public; and that
the Company will suffer substantial and irreparable harm in the event Shareholder should enter into
competition with, or give material assistance of any kind to any third party that is in or proposes
to enter into competition with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including SJC Industries),
or in the event Shareholder should disclose any of the proprietary or confidential information or
affairs of SJC Industries to any third party.

          D. Accordingly, and as a substantial and material inducement to the Company to enter into and
perform its respective obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Shareholder has agreed to
enter into and perform his obligations under this Agreement, it being understood that the Company
would not have entered into or performed its respective obligations under the Stock Purchase
Agreement unless Shareholder entered into and agreed to perform his obligations under this
Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for good, valuable and substantial
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

 

 

     1. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

          (a) Definitions. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the meanings set
forth below:

          1. “Business” shall mean any business, or aspect or segment thereof, in which SJC
Industries is engaged as of the date hereof, including, but not limited to, the designing,
manufacturing, assembly and mounting of ambulance and other specialty vehicle bodies on
commercially available truck chassis.

          (b) Covenant. Shareholder hereby agrees that commencing on the date hereof and
continuing until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof, he will not, directly
or indirectly:

          2. engage, whether as an officer, director, consultant, agent, employee, partner,
member, shareholder, participant, owner, lender, guarantor, investor or otherwise, or
provide any other material assistance to any other person (whether or not for profit), in or
with respect to, any aspect or segment of the Business anywhere in the United States or
Canada, or in any other country in which the Company or any subsidiary is engaged in the
Business at such time (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
preclude (i) equity investments by Shareholder in publicly traded companies in which
Shareholder does not own more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding equity and does not
actively participate in the business in which such investment is made or (ii) investments by
Shareholder in publicly-traded securities of the Company);

          3. interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to disrupt, any present or prospective
relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or any of its subsidiaries
(including SJC Industries) and any vendor, supplier, dealer, distributor, customer,
employee, consultant or other person having business dealings with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries (including SJC Industries) related to the Business; or

          4. employ or solicit the employment or engagement by others of any employee or
consultant of SJC Industries, or any employee or consultant who has worked or consulted for
SJC Industries within one (1) year prior to the effective date of this Agreement, for a
period of one (1) year after any such person is no longer an employee or consultant of SJC
Industries, other than any such persons who are not Key Employees (as defined in the Stock
Purchase Agreement) and who respond to general solicitations for employment placed in
publications of general distribution.

          (c) Reasonableness. Shareholder acknowledges that the restricted period of time and
geographical area and scope of the restrictions under Section 1(b) hereof are reasonable,
in view of the nature of the business in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in, the
Business and Shareholder’s knowledge of SJC Industries, and the fact that Shareholder, as the sole
shareholder SJC Industries, has received substantial consideration consisting of cash pursuant to
the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     2. Nondisclosure.

          Except with the prior written consent of the Company, Shareholder shall not disclose, use,
publish, or in any other manner reveal, directly or indirectly, at any time during or after the
term of this Agreement, any confidential information relating to SJC Industries or any subsidiary
or affiliate thereof acquired by him prior to the date hereof or relating to the Company or SJC
Industries during the course of, or incident to, any services Shareholder hereafter may perform on
behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Such confidential information shall include, but
shall not be limited to, information relating to (a) the business, operations, systems, services,
know-how, trade secrets, customer lists, pricing policies, operational methods, market plans,
product development plans, acquisition plans, products and product ideas, design and design
projects, inventions and research projects and all other plans and processes of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, and (b) the business, operations, personnel, activities, financial affairs,
and other information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and its vendors,
suppliers, dealers, distributors, customers, employees, consultants, officers, directors,
stockholders and other persons having business dealings with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. In the event Shareholder is required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests
for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or similar
process) to disclose any such confidential information, Shareholder shall provide the Company with
prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section. If, in the absence
of such a protective order or other remedy or receipt of a waiver by the Company, Shareholder is
nonetheless advised by his legal counsel that he is legally compelled to disclose such confidential
information, Shareholder may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of such
confidential information which such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided
that Shareholder exercises his best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the information,
including, without limitation, by cooperating, at the Company’s expense, with the Company to obtain
an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded the confidential information.

     3. Proprietary Information.

          In the event Shareholder hereafter performs services on behalf of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, Shareholder shall promptly disclose to the Company in such form and manner as the
Company may reasonably require (a) all operations, systems, services, methods, developments,
inventions, products, product ideas, improvements and other information or data pertaining to the
business or activities of the Company or its subsidiaries (which shall include, for these purposes,
SJC Industries) as have been conceived, originated, discovered or developed by Shareholder (whether
or not copyrighted or patented or capable of being copyrighted or patented) prior to the date
hereof, and (b) such information and data pertaining to the business, operations, personnel,
activities, financial affairs, and other information relating to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries and its vendors, suppliers, dealers, distributors, customers, employees, consultants
and other persons having business dealings with the Company or any of its subsidiaries as may be
reasonably required for the Company or any of its subsidiaries to operate its business. It is
understood that such information is proprietary in nature and shall (as between the Company and
Shareholder) be for the exclusive use and benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and
shall be and remain the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. If so

3

 

requested by the Company, Shareholder shall execute and deliver to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries any instrument as the Company may reasonably request to effectuate the assignment of
any such proprietary information to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. At any time, and from
time to time, upon the request of the Company, Shareholder shall deliver to the Company (and shall
not keep in his possession, recreate or deliver to anyone other than the Company) any and all
devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings,
blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, together with all copies
thereof (in whatever medium recorded) relating to such proprietary information and belonging to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective successors or assigns.

     4. Enforcement; “Blue-Pencil” Authorization.

          Shareholder intends to, and does hereby, confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants
contained in this Agreement upon the courts of (i) any jurisdiction within Indianapolis, Indiana or
(ii) if Shareholder is alleged to be committing, or threatening to commit, a breach of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction, then in any other jurisdiction in which such alleged breach
takes, or is threatened to take, place. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable because of the duration thereof or the area covered thereby or the scope thereof, or
otherwise, the parties agree that the court making the determination shall have the power to reduce
the duration and/or the area and/or the scope of such provision, or to delete specific words or
phrases, and in its reduced form such provision shall then be enforceable and be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions shall hold
such covenants wholly unenforceable against Shareholder by reason of the duration thereof and/or
the area covered thereby and/or the scope thereof, or otherwise, such determination shall not bar
or in any way affect the right of the Company to the relief provided herein in the courts of any
other jurisdiction in which such covenants may be enforced as provided herein, as to breaches of
such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each
jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants and,
further, any such determination shall not bar or in any way affect the right of the Company to
enforce any of the covenants. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the covenants
contained in this Agreement shall at all times be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law, and that any court making the determination as to the enforceability of any such covenants be
authorized as provided herein to enforce this Agreement, or such part hereof, in order to
effectuate the intention of the parties, it being agreed that the compliance by Shareholder with
the covenants contained in this Agreement was a substantial and material inducement to the
Company’s decision to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement and to pay substantial consideration
to Shareholder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     5. Remedies for Certain Breaches.

          If Shareholder commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of
this Agreement, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and
remedies shall be independent of the others, and shall be severally enforceable, and all of which
rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available under law or in equity to the Company:

4

 

          (a) the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement enforced by any court of
competent jurisdiction by injunction, restraining order, specific performance or other equitable
relief in favor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, it being acknowledged and agreed that
any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Shareholder will cause irreparable injury to
the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company; and

          (b) the right and remedy to require Shareholder to account for and pay over to the Company all
compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively, “Benefits”)
derived or received by Shareholder as the result of any transaction constituting a breach of any of
the provisions of this Agreement and Shareholder hereby agrees to account accurately for such
Benefits and pay over all such Benefits to the Company.

     6. Absence of Restrictions.

          No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict the absolute right of the Company
at any time to sell or dispose of all or any part of the assets of the Company, or to reconstitute
the same in any one or more other entities, or to merge, consolidate, sell or liquidate or
otherwise abandon or cease the active conduct of its or any of its subsidiaries’ business.

matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect
to the subject matter hereof.

          (b) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by an instrument in writing and signed by
the party against whom such amendment or waiver is sought to be enforced. The waiver by the
Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No
failure on the part of the Company to exercise, and no delay in

6

 

exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by the Company, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

          (c) Successors and Assigns. The Company shall have the right to assign its rights
under this Agreement in connection with any sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the

parties hereto, (b) the heirs, administrators, executors and personal representatives of
Shareholder and (c) the successors and assigns of the Company.

          (d) Governing Law. This Agreement, including the validity hereof and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder, and all amendments and supplements hereof and all waivers and
consents hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic substantive
laws of the State of Indiana without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of law
provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other
jurisdiction.

          (e) Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement as applied to any circumstance
shall be adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any
other provision of this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstances or
the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

          (f) Captions; Certain References. The headings and captions used in this Agreement
are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the
corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and
verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The terms “herein”, “hereof” or “hereunder” or
similar terms as used in this Agreement refer to this entire Agreement and not to the particular

subsections or other provision are references to Sections, subsections or other provisions of this

          (i) No Conflicting Obligation. Shareholder represents and warrants that the terms of

acquired by Shareholder in confidence or in trust. Shareholder further represents and warrants
that he has not entered into, and agrees that he will not enter into, any agreement or other
obligation (written or oral) that is in conflict with this Agreement.

          (j) Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Shareholder, for himself, his
personal representatives, legatees, heirs and assigns, hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction
of any of the state or federal courts described in Section 4, each as may have competent
jurisdiction, with respect to any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement and agrees that process issued out of any such court or in accordance with the rules of
practice of such court may be served by mail or other form of substituted service to Shareholder at
the address provided herein, and that any actions therein may be consolidated in a single action.

this Agreement in any other court. Shareholder waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any dispute or controversy so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security
that may be required with respect to such dispute or controversy. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to prevent the Company from effecting service of process upon Shareholder in any other
manner permitted by law or from commencing any action in any other court having competent
jurisdiction.

          (k) Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed reasonably to carry out its
intent without presumption against or in favor of any party.
