AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE

THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE dated this 17th day of December, 2010 is to that certain Program
Terms Letter entered into by and between GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation
(“CDF”) and the undersigned Dealers (each, individually, a “Dealer” and,
collectively, “Dealers”) dated June 24, 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Program Terms Letter”).

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Program Terms Letter in certain respects;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

1. The Floorplan Advance Rate section of the Program Terms Letter is hereby deleted and is
replaced with the following:

	 	 	 
	Floorplan Advance Rate:

	 	For new inventory (other than inventory financed
by CDF in connection with the Initial Advances),
100% of invoice amount, including freight (if
included on original invoice). For new inventory
financed by CDF in connection with the Payoff
Advance, such percentage, as CDF and Dealers may
agree in writing for each such unit of inventory,
of the result of (a) invoice amount, less (b) any
curtailment amounts that would have been required
to be made with respect to such units if CDF had
financed 100% of the original invoice amount with
respect to such units on or about the applicable
invoice date. For new inventory financed by CDF in
connection with the [****], 100% of the result of
(1) invoice amount, less (2) any curtailment
amounts that would have been required to be made
with respect to such units if CDF had financed
100% of the original invoice amount with respect
to such units on or about the applicable invoice
date. In each case, subject to Availability. As
used herein, “Availability” shall mean the Maximum
Credit Amount, minus the outstanding amount of
Approvals, minus the aggregate outstanding amount
of Obligations, plus the Reserve Adjustment (as
each such term is defined in the Inventory
Financing Agreement).

 

 

 

NOTE: PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT INDICATED BY “[****]” ARE SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUEST, AND HAVE BEEN OMITTED FROM THIS EXHIBIT. COMPLETE, UNREDACTED COPIES OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE
BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS PART OF THIS COMPANY’S CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUEST.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Pre-owned (trade in or used inventory) advances
will be as follows, subject to Availability, the
Pre-owned Inventory Sublimit, the Specific
Pre-Owned Sublimit, and the Other Pre-Owned
Sublimit (each as defined in the Inventory
Financing Agreement):
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	75% NADA (based on low NADA Value) Day 1 (“Day 1”
as used herein shall mean Acquisition Date)
through Day 180 (after Acquisition Date); 67% Day
181 (after Acquisition Date) through Day 360
(after Acquisition Date); 0% Day 361+ (after
Acquisition Date).
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	All models of pre-owned inventory are eligible
provided fair market values can be determined via
NADA, Yachtworld.com, or survey.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Internal condition and valuation methodology
required on all units > $500,000.00

	 
	 	 
	 

	 	(“Specific Pre-Owned Items”). If valuation of any
Specific Pre-Owned Item exceeds
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	[****], CDF advances in excess of [****] for such
Specific Pre-Owned Item shall be in CDF’s
discretion.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Trade in units < $500,000.00 value will be
financed on a “borrowing base” calculated as the
aggregate of the pre-owned advance rates
multiplied by the applicable low NADA Values of
such pre-owned inventory.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Borrowing base certificate in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B required to be submitted
on
the date hereof and monthly by the 5th day of the
month based on preceding month end balances of
pre-owned inventory. Month-end borrowing base
certificate can be used to borrow up to 80% of
eligible borrowing base for that calendar month,
subject to Availability, the Pre-Owned Inventory
Sublimit and the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit. Any
request for advances > 80% of prior month-end
borrowing base requires submission of an updated
borrowing base and such advances shall be limited
to 100% of updated borrowing base, subject to
Availability, the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit and
the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	If eligible collateral on borrowing base is less
than amount borrowed against collateral, then
immediate payment shall be required of amount
sufficient to reduce amount borrowed to amount of
borrowing base.

	 	If any unit (new or pre-owned) remains at a
location other than a Permitted Location for more
than 30 days, then immediate payment shall be
required of the full principal amount of the
Obligations owed with respect to such unit. If the
aggregate value of units at locations other than
Permitted Locations (excluding boat shows) exceeds
$5,000,000.00 at any time, then immediate payment
shall be required of the Obligations with respect
to such units in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess. In addition, if a material adverse change
results in the reduction of the value of the
Collateral in an aggregate amount exceeding
$250,000, then immediate payment shall be required
of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral
in an amount equal to such excess; provided that,
if such reduction of value is the subject of an
insurance claim payable to CDF as loss payee, then
immediate payment of such excess amount shall only
be required to the extent it exceeds the claim
amount (net of any deductible) and payment of the
remainder of such excess shall not be required
until the earlier of (i) receipt of such insurance
proceeds, if any, or the rejection or denial of
such claim or any portion thereof and (ii) 30 days
(or such later date as CDF may agree in writing)
after such loss or damage.

Seller and its accounting and tax representatives, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, with full
and prompt access to the books and records of Energy Steel for purposes of validating the Final
Working Capital and Unpaid Transaction Expenses Schedule. In the absence of any objections from
the Seller within thirty (30) days following receipt of such calculation, Graham’s determination of
the Final Working Capital and Unpaid Transaction Expenses Schedule shall be conclusive, final and
binding on the parties for purposes of determining the Net Working Capital, Working Capital
Surplus, Working Capital Deficit and the Actual Unpaid Transaction Expenses. However, such
determination shall not affect any other of Graham’s or Buyer’s rights under this Agreement,
including without limitation under Article 7. If Seller objects to the Final Working Capital and
Unpaid Transaction Expenses Schedule within thirty (30) days following receipt of such calculation
from Graham, the Seller shall deliver a written dispute notice to Graham which shall set forth the
specific line items in dispute and provide the basis for such dispute in reasonable detail,
including but not limited to a claim that Seller and Representatives have not been furnished
adequate information to confirm or refute the determination of Graham. If, after ten (10) days
from the date notice of a dispute is given hereunder, the Seller and Graham cannot agree on the
resolution of all of the disputed items, the Final Working Capital and Unpaid Transaction Expenses
Schedule shall be adjusted to the extent of any items that are not in dispute, and the items still
in dispute shall be referred to Grant Thornton LLP or another independent public accounting firm
acceptable to both the Seller and Graham (the “Unrelated Accounting Firm”) to resolve the dispute,
whose decision as to the issues in dispute shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the Seller
and Graham for purposes of this Agreement. The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall address only those
issues in dispute in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(b) and may not assign a value to
any item

9

 

greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the

Accounting Firm shall be paid 50/50 by the Seller and Buyer.

     (c) Upon finalizing the Final Working Capital and Unpaid Transaction Expenses Schedule, either
by agreement or by the Unrelated Accounting Firm: (i) to the extent there is a Working Capital
Surplus, Graham will pay the Seller an amount equal to such Working Capital Surplus within ten (10)
days of delivery of the Final Working Capital and Unpaid Transaction Expenses Schedule. If such
Working Capital Surplus is not paid within such ten (10) day period, then interest shall accrue and
be due and payable from Graham on the Working Capital Surplus from and including the Closing
through and including the date of payment at Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum; and (ii)
to the extent there is a Working Capital Deficit or the Actual Unpaid Transaction Expenses exceeds
the Estimated Unpaid Transaction Expenses, within ten (10) days following the delivery of the Final
Working Capital and Unpaid Transaction Expenses Schedule, the Seller will pay to Graham in cash
(by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Graham) the amount of
the Working Capital Deficit and the amount by which the Actual Unpaid Transaction Expenses exceeds
the Estimated Unpaid Transaction Expenses, if any. If such amounts are not paid within such
fifteen (15) day period, then interest shall accrue and be due and payable from the Seller on such
amounts from and including the Closing through and including the date of payment at Prime Rate plus
two percent (2%) per annum.

     (d) Delivery of all payments required under this Section 2.2 or any provision hereof shall be
made in cash by the wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as designated
in writing by the recipient or, in the case of any payments owed Graham or Buyer by the Seller, may
be offset against any future amounts that Buyer or Graham may owe the Seller under this Agreement
or the Earn Out Agreement.

2.3 The Closing.

     The Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a location
mutually agreed to by the Buyer and Seller commencing on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing

by Energy Steel is in material compliance with all applicable building, zoning, subdivision,
environmental, health and safety requirements and other land use laws, including The Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (collectively, the “Real Property Laws”), and the current use
and occupancy of the Leased Real Property and operation of the Business thereon does not violate
any Real Property Laws. Energy Steel has not received any notice of violation of any Real Property
Laws and, to Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s knowledge, there is no basis for the issuance of any
such notice or the taking of any action for such violation.

     (f) None of the Improvements or any portion thereof is dependent for its access, use or
operation on any land, building, improvement or other real property interest which is not included
in the Leased Real Property, except as would be disclosed on a survey of the Leased Real Property

or systems for the Leased Real Property have been installed and are operational and sufficient for
the operation of the Business as currently conducted thereon, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

     (h) All certificates of occupancy, permits, licenses, franchises, approvals and authorizations

as currently conducted thereon, have been issued and are in full force and effect. Schedule
3.9(h) lists all Real Property Permits held by Energy Steel with respect to each parcel of
Leased Real Property. Energy Steel has not received any notice from any governmental authority or
other entity having jurisdiction over the Leased Real Property threatening a suspension,
revocation, modification or cancellation of any Real Property Permit and, to the knowledge of
each, there is no basis for the issuance of any such notice or the taking of any such action.

     (i) The classification of each parcel of Leased Real Property under applicable zoning laws,
ordinances and regulations permits the use and occupancy of such parcel and the operation of the
Business as currently conducted thereon, and permits the Improvements located thereon as currently
constructed, used and occupied. There are sufficient parking spaces, loading docks and other
facilities at such parcel to comply with such zoning laws, ordinances and regulations.

     (j) To Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s knowledge, the current use and occupancy of the Leased
Real Property and the operation of the Business as currently conducted thereon do not violate any
easement, covenant, condition, restriction or similar provision in any instrument of record or
other unrecorded agreement affecting such Leased Real Property, except to the extent such violation
could reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither of the Seller nor Energy
Steel has received any notice of violation of any such documents, and there is no basis for the
issuance of any such notice or the taking of any action for such violation.

     (k) There are no taxes, assessments, fees, charges or similar costs or expenses imposed by any
Governmental Entity, association or other entity having jurisdiction over the Leased Real Property
with respect to any Leased Real Property or portion thereof which are delinquent.

correct.

     (c) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14(c), Energy Steel and each of the Employee
Plans (and any related trust agreement, insurance contract or fund) has been maintained, funded and
administered in accordance with its terms and any applicable collective bargaining agreement, and

all other applicable Laws.

     (d) All contributions (including all employer contributions and employee salary reduction

each Employee Plan within the time required by law. All required or discretionary (in accordance
with historical practices) payments, premiums, contributions, reimbursements, or accruals for all
periods ending prior to or as of the Closing Date shall have been made or properly accrued on the
Closing balance sheets or will be properly accrued on the books and records of Energy Steel as of

the Employee Plans, including the payment of all applicable Taxes.

     (e) Neither Energy Steel nor any Employee Plan fiduciary has, with respect to the Employee
Plans, engaged in a breach of fiduciary duty or engaged or permitted an Employee Plan to engage in
a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 406 of ERISA. To Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred and no
condition exists with respect to any Employee Plan which would give rise to any liability under the

4976, 4977, 4979, 4980B, 4980D, 4980E, 4980F or 6652 of the Code, or to any fine or civil penalty

is or has been the direct or indirect subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any
Governmental Entity within the last five (5) years, and to Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s
knowledge, there are no facts which could give rise to any liability in the event of any

22

 

investigation, audit, review or other proceeding. There are no Claims (other than routine
undisputed Claims for benefits) pending or threatened against or arising out of any of the Employee
Plans or the respective assets thereof and to Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s knowledge, no facts
exist which could give rise to any such Claims which could reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on any Employee Plan, or a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (f) Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination letter (or an opinion letter on which it is entitled to rely)
from the Internal Revenue Service that such Employee Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code, and such determination letter or opinion letter considers the Economic Growth & Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2001. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code has been timely amended to reflect the provisions of all statutory or regulatory
changes requiring amendments for which the deadline for amendment has passed, and if not entitled
to rely upon an opinion letter has been timely submitted for a determination letter in accordance
with Revenue Procedure 2007-44. To Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s knowledge, no event has
occurred that will or could give rise to the revocation of any applicable determination letter or
the loss of the right to rely on any applicable opinion letter, or the disqualification or loss of
tax-exempt status of any such Employee Plan or trust under Sections 401(a) or 501(a) of the Code.

     (g) Energy Steel does not maintain and has not at any time maintained, and does not and could
not have any liability with respect to, any Employee Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section
412 of the Code. No Employee Plan is or ever has been a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(37) of ERISA. Energy Steel does not have and could not have any liability with respect
to a “multiemployer plan” as defined under Section 3(37) of ERISA. No Employee Plan now holds or
has heretofore held any stock or other securities issued by Energy Steel. Energy Steel has not
established or contributed to, is not required to contribute to, and does not have nor has ever had
any liability with respect to any “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” within the meaning
of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code, any “welfare benefit fund” within the meaning of Section 419 of
the Code, any “qualified asset account” within the meaning of Section 419A of the Code, or any
“multiple employer welfare arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA.

     (h) Each Employee Plan that constitutes a “welfare benefit plan,” within the meaning of
Section 3(1) of ERISA, and for which contributions are claimed by Energy Steel as deductions under
any provision of the Code, is in compliance with all applicable requirements pertaining to such
deduction. Schedule 3.14(h) discloses whether each welfare plan is (i) unfunded, (ii) with
respect to welfare plans subject to the provisions of the Code, funded through a “welfare benefit
fund,” as such term is defined in Section 419(e) of the code, or other funding mechanism, or (iii)
insured.

     (i) All group health plans of Energy Steel have been operated in compliance in all material
respects with the group health plan continuation coverage requirements of Sections 601 through 608
of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code or applicable state law, Title XXII of the Public Health
Service Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Medicare Part D
requirements of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 and the
provisions of the Social Security Act, to the extent such requirements are applicable. Except to
the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code or applicable state law, no Employee Plan or
any other arrangement provides for or continues medical or health or other welfare benefits
(through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for or to any retired employee, any former

23

 

employee or any other individual who is not an employee, and there has been no communication
to any employee, retired employee, former employee or other individual that could reasonably be
expected to promise or guarantee any such benefits.

     (j) Except with respect to statutory post-termination benefits arising under non U.S. Laws and
except as set forth in Schedule 3.14(j), no provision of any Employee Plan restricts the
ability of Graham or Energy Steel to terminate the future accruals of obligations thereunder after
the Closing Date or requires the increase or acceleration of benefit entitlements, contributions or
compensation in connection with such termination; provided, however, that no such representation or
warranty is made with respect to the ability to cancel liabilities already accrued at the time of
such termination.

     (k) All reports, returns and similar documents with respect to each Employee Plan required to
be filed with any Governmental Entity or distributed to any participant of any Employee Plan
(including each Form 5500 required to be filed by Energy Steel) have been duly and timely filed or
distributed in accordance with all applicable Laws. There are no unpaid fees, penalties, interest
or assessments due from the Energy Steel or from any other Person that are or could become a lien
on any asset of Energy Steel or could otherwise adversely affect the business or assets of Energy
Steel. Energy Steel has collected or withheld all amounts that are required to be collected or
withheld by them to discharge their obligations, and all of those amounts have been paid to the
appropriate Governmental Entities or set aside in appropriate accounts for future payment when due.

     (l) To Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s knowledge, no condition exists as a result of which
Energy Steel would have any liability, whether absolute or contingent, including any obligations
under any Employee Plan, with respect to any misclassification of a Person performing services for
Energy Steel as an independent contractor rather than as an employee.

     (m) Except as described in Schedule 3.14(m), the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not entitle any Person to severance pay, and will not
accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount, of compensation due to any
Person. Schedule 3.14(m) lists all severance obligations of Energy Steel owed to any
Person. None of the Employee Plans obligates Energy Steel to pay separation, severance,
termination or similar benefits solely as a result of any transaction contemplated by this
Agreement or solely as a result of a “change in the ownership or effective control of the
corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” (as
defined in Section 280G of the Code).

     (n) Except as described in Section 3.14(n), each “nonqualified deferred compensation
plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) with respect to which Energy Steel is a
“service recipient” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) has been operated since
January 1, 2005, in compliance with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the
treasury regulations and other official guidance issued thereunder (or similar provision of state
law) (collectively, “Section 409A”), and has been since January 1, 2009, in documentary compliance
with the applicable provisions of Section 409A; and Energy Steel has not been required to report
any Taxes due as a result of a failure of an Employee Plan to comply with Section 409A. With
respect to each Employee Plan, Energy Steel does not have any indemnity obligation for any Taxes or
interest imposed or accelerated under Section 409A.

24

 

     (o) Solely for purposes of this Section 3.14, all references to Energy Steel includes any
Person which, together with Energy Steel, is considered an affiliated organization within the
meaning of Sections 414(b), 414(c), 414(m) or 414(o) of the Code or sections 3(5) or 4001(b)(1) of
ERISA.

     (p) Except as described in Schedule 3.14(p), Energy Steel does not provide to any of
its non-U.S. employees any termination, severance, pension, healthcare or other benefits in excess
of statutory requirements.

3.15 Employment Matters.

     (a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.15(a), (i) to Energy Steel’s and the Seller’s
knowledge, Energy Steel is, and since January 1, 2005 has been, in compliance in all material
respects with all Laws relating to affirmative action, employment, equal employment opportunity,

supplements, hours or work, benefits, collective bargaining, the withholding and payment of social

Material Adverse Effect.

4.2 Authority; Binding Effect.

     Each of Graham and Buyer has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of Graham and Buyer. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Graham and Buyer and, assuming the due

Agreement by either. Graham has adopted this Agreement as the sole stockholder of Buyer and is
jointly and severally liable for all obligations and liabilities of itself and Buyer as a direct
party to this Agreement.

4.3 No Conflict.

     The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of Graham and Buyer does not, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the fulfillment of the obligations and

36

 

undertakings hereunder will not, result in any Violation of any provision of: (a) the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Graham or of Buyer; (b) any material Contract applicable
to Graham, Buyer or any of their respective assets; or (c) any Law applicable to Graham, Buyer or
any of their respective assets; except, in the case of Contracts and Laws, for Violations which

approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental

done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including cooperating fully with the
other parties, providing information, making all necessary filings and giving all necessary notices
in connection with, among other things, Competition Laws, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
state securities Laws. Each of the parties will take or cause to be taken all reasonable actions
necessary to obtain (and will cooperate with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization,
order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity or other public or private third
party, required to be obtained or made by any of them in order to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement as agreed to be so
necessary by the parties, including without limitation the Required Approvals. In case at any
time after the Closing Date any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes
of this Agreement, each party will reasonably cooperate to take all such necessary action.

5.2 Expenses.

     Graham and Seller will each bear their respective legal, accounting and other expenses in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not the transactions contemplated
herein are consummated, except as provided in Article 7, or as otherwise necessary to enforce this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.3 Other Actions.

     (a) Energy Steel, the Seller and Graham will refrain from knowingly taking any action that
would or is reasonably likely to cause any of its representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement to be untrue as of the date made or any of the conditions to the transactions
contemplated herein set forth in Article 6 not to be satisfied. Prior to the Closing Date, each of
the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) obtain the satisfaction of its
conditions to Closing as set forth in Article 6 as soon as practicable; (b) facilitate contacts,
negotiations and communications with any Persons reasonably necessary to ensure a smooth transition
of control of the Business; and (c) assist one another in obtaining any consents required from any

38

 

     (b) Prior to the Closing Date, neither Energy Steel nor the Seller shall revoke Energy Steel’s
election to be taxed as an S corporation within the meaning of Code §1361 and §1362, nor shall
Energy Steel or Seller take or allow any action (other than the sale of Energy Steel’s stock
pursuant to this Agreement) that would result in the termination of Energy Steel’s status as a
validly electing S corporation within the meaning of Code §1361 and §1362.

5.4 Confidentiality.

     Graham and Buyer (treated as one party for this purpose) and Energy Steel and the Seller
(each, a “Receiving Party”) will, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
Affiliates, employees, representatives and agents to, hold in strict confidence all Confidential
Information of the other party (each, the “Disclosing Party”), unless compelled to disclose the
same by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of counsel, by other Laws; provided,
however, that in either such case the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt
prior notice thereof so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate
remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section. In the event that such
protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with
the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of Confidential
Information which, in the written advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, is required, and the
Receiving Party will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded such of the disclosed Confidential Information as the
Disclosing Party so designates. The Receiving Party will not otherwise disclose Confidential
Information to any Person, except with the consent of the Disclosing Party. In the event that the
transactions contemplated herein are not consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Receiving
Party will promptly return all Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party. For the purposes
hereof, “Confidential Information” means all information of any kind concerning the Disclosing
Party or any of its Affiliates, obtained directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party or any of
its Affiliates, employees, representatives or agents in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, except information (a) ascertainable or obtained from public or published
sources, (b) received from a third party not known by the Receiving Party to be under an obligation
to keep such information confidential, (c) which is or becomes known to the public (other than
through a breach of this Agreement), or (d) which was in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to
disclosure thereof to the Receiving Party and which was not subject to any obligation to keep such
information confidential. The Receiving Party recognizes that any breach of the provisions of this
Section would result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party and its Affiliates and, therefore,
that the Disclosing Party will be entitled to an injunction to prohibit any such breach or
anticipated breach, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise, in addition to all
of its other legal and equitable remedies.

5.5 Publicity.

     Neither Energy Steel nor the Seller shall issue any press release or make any public
announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of
Graham which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed after the consummation of the
Closing. In addition, Energy Steel and the Seller covenant and agree to cooperate with Graham in
connection with the preparation and making of any public disclosure by Graham which Graham

39

 

elects to or is required to make by applicable Law or any listing or trading requirement
concerning Graham’s publicly-traded securities.

5.6 Cooperation in Preparation of Audited Financial Statements and SEC Reports.

     Energy Steel and the Seller agree to cooperate with Graham, at Graham’s expense, in the

country where Graham or any Subsidiary conducts business, directly or indirectly, as a partner,
joint venturer, investor, lender, manager, licensor, manufacturer, retailer or otherwise, engage in
any business that engages in any activity which is competitive with the Business or the businesses
operated by Graham, or own stock or otherwise have an ownership interest in any person,
corporation, firm, partnership or other entity engaged in any such business except owning five
percent (5%) or less of any publically-traded company engaged in a competitive business.

     (b) The Seller will not, during the Restriction Period hire or offer to hire (as an employee,
independent contractor or otherwise) any person who on the date hereof is a director, officer or
employee of Graham, including Buyer or Energy Steel, except Danna Unrue.

     (c) The Seller agrees that a violation of Section 5.7(a) or 5.7(b) will cause irreparable
injury to Graham and Buyer, and Graham and Buyer will be entitled, in addition to any other rights
and remedies it may have at law or in equity, to apply for an injunction enjoining and restraining
the Seller, as the case may be, from doing or continuing to do any such act and any other
violations or threatened violations of this Section 5.7 hereof without the necessity of posting a
bond or undertaking.

     (d) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.7 are

covenants are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent
jurisdiction (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and (ii) the invalid
or unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid
and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable
term or provision. In the event that, notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 5.7(d),
any of the provisions of this Section 5.7 relating to the geographic or temporal scope of the
covenants contained therein or the nature of the business restricted thereby shall be declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems enforceable,
such provision shall be deemed to be replaced herein by the maximum restriction deemed enforceable
by such court.

given to Buyer to first review and provide comments on such Final Tax Return. All Final Tax

Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

     (b) Tax Return Preparation. Graham, Buyer, the Seller and Energy Steel shall cooperate fully,
as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the filing of
any Tax returns, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Graham,
Buyer, the Seller and Energy Steel shall, as soon as practicable, provide the other with written
notice of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall
include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information
which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax return, or any such audit, litigation or other
proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional
information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Graham, Buyer, the Seller and
Energy Steel agree (i) to retain or cause to be retained all books and records with respect to Tax
matters pertinent to Energy Steel relating to any Tax period beginning before the Closing Date

Graham or the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and to abide by all
record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority, (ii) to provide to the other
party, upon request, all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Energy Steel
relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the

thereof) of the respective periods, and (iii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice
prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any of the other
parties so requests, the other parties shall allow such requesting party to take possession of such
books and records.

5.9 Certain Taxes and Fees.

     All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all
conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and
interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

     At the sole discretion of Graham and the Buyer upon written notice delivered to Seller no
later than February 1, 2011, the Seller agrees to make a timely election under Code Section
338(h)(10) (“338(h)(10) Election”), and Graham and Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller
from and against any and all Tax liabilities imposed on Seller (or imposed on Energy Steel and
passed through to Seller) as a result of having made any such 338(h)(10) Election to the extent
that such Tax liabilities exceed the Tax liabilities that the Seller would incur in the absence of
such election (the “Buyer Tax Payments”). In the event that the Seller incurs any Tax obligations
as a result of the 338(h)(10) Election which are in excess of amounts due had the transactions set
forth herein been taxed as a stock sale, then the amount that Graham and the Buyer shall be
required to reimburse Seller under this Section (1) shall be grossed up to assure that Seller does
not incur any Tax cost as a result of the 338(h)(10) Election and the reimbursement payments under
this Section and (2) shall take into account the highest marginal income tax rate applicable to
payments of this type at the applicable times as they apply to the Seller. Any Buyer Tax Payments
shall be treated by the parties as additional Purchase Price and shall be paid to Seller not less
than five (5) days prior to the time Seller is required to pay such amounts with a Federal Tax
return or estimate. Any amounts payable hereunder to the Seller shall be paid in cash unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Seller. Graham and Buyer will prepare and timely file with
the appropriate taxing authorities any forms used to make the 338(h)(10) Election. Buyer and
Graham shall pay, as incurred, any and all fees (including fees of UHY), costs and expenses
associated with the 338(h)(10) election. In the event that the 338(h)(10) election is denied by
the IRS, Seller agrees that is shall refund the amount of any such Buyer Tax Payments paid by Buyer
and Graham to Seller. Such refund amount from Seller shall be paid in cash unless otherwise agreed
in writing or, at Graham’s and Buyer’s election such amount may be setoff against the Escrow Amount
or any payments due to Seller under the Earn Out Agreement.

7.3 Indemnification by Graham.

     From and after the Closing Date, for the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1,
Graham shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Seller and her heirs (collectively, “Seller
Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed on,
sustained, incurred or suffered by any them based upon, arising out of, related to or otherwise in
respect of any of the following (including any action, suit or proceeding based upon, arising out

     (c) any and all liabilities arising out of Graham or Buyer’s ownership or operation of Energy
Steel or the Business after the Closing Date.

7.4 Limitations.

     (a) The Seller shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)
and (b) with respect to Losses incurred by Graham Indemnitees only to the extent the aggregate
Losses exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Basket”), whereupon the Seller
shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket; provided, that the maximum aggregate
liability of the Seller to all Graham Indemnitees taken together for all Losses pursuant to Section
7.2 shall not exceed an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Indemnification
Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket and the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to
(a) any claims that relate to a breach or inaccuracy of the Surviving Representations and
Warranties, (b) any claims resulting from, arising out of, relating to or in the nature of, or
caused by intentional misrepresentations, fraud or willful misconduct by the Seller or Energy
Steel, (c) any claims resulting from, arising out of relating to or in the nature of, or caused by
any matter which required approval by Energy Steel’s board of directors and/or shareholders and
which was not authorized by resolutions specifically detailing the actions approved, but rather was
approved through an omnibus and general resolution, or (d) any claims under Sections 7.2(c), (d),
(e), (f), (g), (h) and (i).

     (b) Graham shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 7.3(a) and (b)
with respect to Losses incurred by Seller Indemnitees only to the extent the aggregate Losses
exceed the Basket, whereupon Graham shall be liable for all Losses in excess of the Basket;
provided that the maximum aggregate liability of Graham to all Seller Indemnitees taken together
for all Losses pursuant to Section 7.3 shall not exceed the Indemnification Cap. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Basket and aforementioned liability limit shall not apply to any claims
resulting from, arising out of, relating to or in the nature of, or caused by intentional
misrepresentations, fraud or

48

 

willful misconduct by Graham and shall not in any manner limit Graham’s and Buyer’s
obligations pursuant to Section 4.5 (Brokers or Finders), Section 4.7 (No Breach), and Section 2.2
(Payment of Purchase Price or Adjustments), the Earn Out Agreement or the Seller’s Employment
Agreement.

7.5 Notice of Claims.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 7.6, if any Graham Indemnitee or the Seller Indemnitee (an
“Indemnified Party”) believes that it has suffered or incurred any Losses for which it is entitled
to indemnification under this Article 7, such Indemnified Party shall so notify the party from whom
indemnification is being claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness and
reasonable particularity in light of the circumstances then existing. If any claim is instituted by
or against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Party intends to claim
indemnification under this Article 7, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying
Party of such claim. The notice provided by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall
describe the claim (the “Asserted Liability”) in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount
(or an estimate) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The
failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice required by this Section 7.5 shall not affect
any of the Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article 7 or otherwise except and to the extent
that such failure is prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnifying Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the stated expiration of any representation and warranty
there shall have been given notice of an Asserted Liability by an Indemnified Party, such
Indemnified Party shall continue to have the right to such indemnification with respect to such
noticed claim notwithstanding such expiration.

     (b) To the extent a claim for Losses is made by any Graham Indemitees for indemnification
under Section 7.2 and the Seller refuses to provide such indemnification in reliance on a breach by
Buyer or Graham of Section 4.7 (No Breach), then the burden of proof shall be on the Seller to
demonstrate that such representation and warranty was breached by Buyer or Graham.

7.6 Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims.

     (a) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against any
third party claim for which it is entitled to indemnification from such Indemnifying Party under
this Article 7 with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) any of
the Indemnifying Parties notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within twenty (20) days after
the Indemnified Party has given notice of the third party claim that all of the Indemnifying
Parties will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of Losses the
Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or
caused by the third party claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Parties provide the Indemnified Party with
evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Parties will have the
financial resources to defend against the third party claim and fulfill their indemnification
obligations hereunder, (iii) the third party claim involves only money damages and does not seek an
injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to,
the third party claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to
establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests
of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Parties diligently conduct the defense of the
third party claim.

49

 

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Parties shall not settle or compromise any third party claim or consent to the entry
of a judgment in connection therewith that: (i) does not provide for the claimant to give an
unconditional release to the Indemnified Party in respect of the Asserted Liability; (ii) involves
relief other than monetary damages; (iii) places restrictions or conditions on the operation of the
business of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; or (iv) involves any finding or
admission of criminal liability or of any Laws.

     (c) So long as the Indemnifying Party has undertaken to conduct the defense of the third party
claim in accordance with Section 7.6(a), (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel
at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the third party claim, (ii) the
Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to the third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, and
(iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status
of the claim for which it is providing a defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 7.6(a),
in the event that (w) any of the conditions in Section 7.6(a)(i) is or becomes unsatisfied or; (x)
the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party to defend such action within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party of its intent to defend against the Asserted Liability; (y) the Indemnified Party
shall have reasonably concluded, based upon written advice of counsel, that it has defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party
(in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action
on behalf of the Indemnified Party with respect to such different defenses); or (z) representation
of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding, then the Indemnified Party may defend against the
third party claim in any manner it may deem appropriate and, the Indemnifying Parties will be
responsible for the Indemnified Party’s costs of defending against the third party claim (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for
the entirety of the Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of or
caused by the third party claim.

7.7 Recoupment and Set-Off.

     (a) With respect to any indemnification to which a Graham Indemnified Party is entitled under
this Agreement as a result of any Losses it may suffer, such Graham Indemnified Party may offset
such Losses from any amounts due under the Escrow Agreement, Earn Out Agreement or the Graham
Indemnified Parties may recoup such unpaid Losses from the Seller directly. Any indemnification
payment or set-off against the Escrow Amount or Earn Out Agreement made pursuant to this Section
shall be treated, to the extent permitted or required by Laws, by all parties as an adjustment to
the Purchase Price.

     (b) With respect to any indemnification to which Seller is entitled under this Agreement as a
result of any Losses it may suffer, Seller may offset such Losses from any amounts due under any
agreement between Seller and Graham (or Buyer) or a Seller Indemnified Party may recoup such unpaid
Losses from Graham and/or Buyer directly.

50

 

7.8 Mitigation.

     No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than the full amount of any Loss
incurred by such Indemnified Party under the provisions of this Agreement in respect of any such
Loss. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the amount of any Losses subject to
indemnification under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 shall be reduced by the amounts actually recovered by
the Indemnified Party incurring such Loss under applicable insurance policies with respect to
claims related to such Losses.

7.9 Exclusive Remedy.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement following the Closing, the
indemnification provided by this Article 7 shall be the exclusive remedy for Graham,
Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein will limit
in any way any such Indemnified Party’s (A) remedies in respect of fraud or willful or intentional
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, or (B) rights hereunder to
injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the Earn Out
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Seller Employment Agreement, the Lease or in connection with
the transactions contemplated thereby.

     (c) by Energy Steel or Seller, upon notice to Graham, if (without any breach by Energy Steel

Seller;

2010 if Closing has not occurred by that date (except that the right to terminate under this
Section 8.1(d) will not be available to any party whose failure to perform its obligations
hereunder has been the cause of the failure of Closing to occur by such date);

thirty (30) days after the notice of breach; or
