 THIS ESCROW AND EXCHANGE AGENT AGREEMENT (this

subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), SBR, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (the “Company”), The Bank of New York, as escrow and exchange agent (the “Agent”), and Samuel B. Ross, II, in his capacity
as Holders Representative (the “Holders Representative”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of February 9, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Holders Representative, Merger Sub will
merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Merger Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings defined
in the Merger Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement contemplates that the parties hereto shall enter into this Agreement.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 1. Consent of Company Stockholders; Designation of Agent. The Fully-Diluted Stockholders have approved the Merger Agreement and,
pursuant thereto, (a) the establishment of an escrow account to secure the Fully-Diluted Stockholders’ indemnification obligations under Article VIII of the Merger Agreement in the manner set forth therein and herein (the
“Indemnity Escrow”), (b) the establishment of an escrow account as a source of reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Merger Agreement (the “Adjustment Escrow”), (c) the appointment of the
Holders Representative as their representative for purposes of this Agreement and as attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Fully-Diluted Stockholder, and the taking by the Holders Representative of any and all actions and the making
of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Holders Representative under this Agreement and (d) all of the other terms, conditions and limitations contained in the Merger Agreement and in this Agreement. Parent and the
Holders Representative, on behalf of the Fully-Diluted Stockholders, hereby mutually designate and appoint The Bank of New York to serve as Agent for the purposes set forth herein. The Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in
furtherance of the terms and conditions herein. 
 2. Distribution of Materials. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c)
and (d) hereof, Parent shall make available to the Agent the documents, if any, to be mailed to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders, including the Letters of Transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that, with respect to Company
Common Shares, the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates for the Company Common Shares) to accompany certificates for Company Common Shares when surrendered for the
Merger Consideration and the related Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number of 

 Substitute Form W-9. Attached hereto as Schedule A is (i) a list of such Fully-Diluted Stockholders,
(ii) each Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s respective ownership of Fully-Diluted Company Common Shares, (iii) the aggregate cash to be paid in lieu of fractional Parent Shares to each Fully-Diluted Stockholder, (iv) a calculation of
the aggregate Parent Shares and cash due each such Fully-Diluted Stockholder pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (v) each Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s taxpayer identification number. 
 3. Deposits; Payments. 
 (a) Concurrent herewith, Parent or Merger Sub shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Agent, (i) the aggregate cash consideration payable under the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Indemnity Escrow, (iii) the Adjustment
Holdback and (iv) a sufficient amount of cash payable with respect to fractional shares as set forth on Schedule A. The aggregate cash deposited pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be invested at the direction of the Holders
Representative by the Agent in (i) obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation,
respectively, in each case with maturities not exceeding six months (or money market funds consisting of such obligations) or (ii) bank deposit accounts with a financial institution with a credit rating of not less than AA by Moody’s
Investor’s Services, Inc. Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 11 hereof, all earnings on the Cash Consideration, the Indemnity Escrow and the Adjustment Holdback shall be allocated to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders.

 (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Agent shall sell the aggregate fractional shares identified on
Schedule A hereto (the “Fractional Shares”) at then prevailing prices on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in the manner provided in this paragraph. The sale of the Fractions Shares by the Agent shall be
executed on the NYSE through one or more member firms of the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. The compensation payable to the Agent and the expenses incurred by the Agent, in each case, in connection with such sale
or sales of the Fractional Shares, and all related commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, will be paid by Parent out of its own funds. The proceeds of such sale or sales shall be distributed to Parent without interest
as soon as practicable after the completion of such sale or sales. The Holders Representative acknowledges and agrees that the interests of the Fully-Diluted Shareholders in the Fractional Shares shall have been satisfied upon the cash deposit by
Parent or Merger Sub contemplated by Section 3(a)(iv) above. 
 4. Receipt of Company Common Shares and Related Materials.

 (a) In the event the Agent shall receive Letters of Transmittal (or facsimiles thereof) from the Fully-Diluted Stockholders
(other than holders of Company Purchase Rights), or other instruments and communications submitted to the Agent in connection with the Merger, the Agent shall preserve the same until delivered to Parent or otherwise disposed of in accordance with
Parent’s instructions. 
  

 - 2 - 

 (b) All Letters of Transmittal, facsimile transmissions, letters, and other materials
properly submitted to the Agent, except certificates for Common Company Shares, shall be stamped by the Agent to show the date and time of receipt thereof. 
 (c) The Agent shall accept any Letters of Transmittal and certificates (the “Pre-Approved Deliveries”) received by it on or prior to the Closing Date and certified by Mark A. Roche on behalf of the
Parent and the Holders Representative on behalf of the Fully-Diluted Stockholders without any examination. For any irregular items, the Agent should follow its regular procedures to attempt to cause any such irregularity to be corrected. The Agent
is not authorized to waive any deficiency or irregularity in connection with the Letter of Transmittals unless Parent provides the Agent with written authorization. As to any irregular items the Agent cannot resolve by following its regular
procedures, the Agent will consult with Parent and the Holders Representative for instructions, who shall be jointly responsible for deciding what action, if any, to be taken. Upon receipt of any certificates for the Company Common Shares, the Agent
will physically cancel the certificates representing such Common Company Shares. 
 (d) Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Agent is authorized to accept certificates for Company Common Shares and to issue (a) one or more Parent Shares representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of Parent Shares, if any, that the applicable Fully-Diluted
Stockholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) of the Merger Agreement and (b) a check to the applicable Fully-Diluted Stockholder in the amount equal to the allocable portion of the cash consideration, if any,
that the applicable Fully-Diluted Stockholder has the right to receive pursuant to Sections 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, Section 4.3 of the Merger Agreement (including dividends and other distributions pursuant to
Section 4.3(f) of the Merger Agreement) and cash payable in lieu of fractional shares as set forth in Section 3(a) above; provided, however, that the Agent shall accept the Pre-Approved Deliveries and make payments
therefor to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule A and consistent with Sections 4.1(a), 4.1(b), 4.3 and 4.4 of the Merger Agreement and the applicable Pre-Approved Deliveries on the Closing
Date; provided, further, payments of the allocable portion of the cash consideration and Parent Shares shall be made by the Agent to holders of Company Purchase Rights upon written direction from Parent and in accordance with the
allocations set forth on Schedule A and consistent with Sections 4.1(a), 4.1(b), 4.3 and 4.4 of the Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Letter of Transmittal, Agent shall deduct and withhold from the amounts paid pursuant to this
Section 4(d) any withholding taxes and such other amounts as are required under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign tax law, and the Agent shall provide to the applicable Fully-Diluted Stockholder notice of
the amounts so deducted or withheld. All transfer taxes owing with respect to the transfers hereunder shall be paid by Parent. 
 (e) If payment is to be made by the Agent to a person other than the person in whose name a surrendered certificate is registered, the Agent will make no payment until the certificate so surrendered has been properly endorsed (or otherwise
put in proper form for transfer) and the person requesting such payment has paid any transfer or other taxes 
  

 - 3 - 

 or governmental charges required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered
holder of the certificate surrendered or has established to its satisfaction that such tax or charge either has been paid or is not payable. Any tax information with respect to such payment which the Agent is required to report pursuant to
Section 4 of this Agreement shall list the registered holder of the certificate as the payee. 
 (f) If any
Fully-Diluted Stockholder reports to the Agent that such Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s failure to surrender a certificate representing any Company Common Shares registered in such Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s name at the Effective Time is due
to the theft, loss or destruction of his certificate, the Agent shall require such Fully-Diluted Stockholder to furnish an affidavit of such theft, loss or destruction. Upon receipt of such affidavit, the Agent may effect payment to such
Fully-Diluted Stockholder as though he had surrendered such Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s certificate. 
 (g) If Company
Common Shares registered in the name of any Person described on Schedule C are surrendered, Agent shall (i) arrange for the issuance of Parent Shares in the name of any other person only with the proper approval of Parent or its legal
counsel; and (ii) issue in exchange therefor certificates representing Parent Shares with the following legend applied to each such certificate: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) APPLIES, HAVE BEEN DELIVERED IN RELIANCE UPON THE
REPRESENTATION OF THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR SUCH HOLDER’S ACCOUNT, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 145
OR PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.” 
 5. Tax Reporting. 

(a) On or before each January 31 of each year that any amount remains in escrow pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent will prepare
and mail to each Fully-Diluted Stockholder receiving payment or allocated income pursuant to this Agreement during the prior calendar year, other than Fully-Diluted Stockholders who demonstrate their status as nonresident aliens in accordance with
United States Treasury Regulations, an applicable Form 1099 reporting any cash payments during the prior calendar year, in accordance with Treasury regulations. The Agent will also prepare and file copies of such Forms 1099 by magnetic tape with the
Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with Treasury Regulations. 
 (b) If the Agent has not received notice from the
surrendering Fully-Diluted Stockholder of such Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s certified taxpayer identification number, the Agent shall deduct and withhold backup withholding tax from any cash payment made pursuant to the Code. 
  

 - 4 - 

 (c) Should any issue arise regarding Federal income tax reporting or withholding, the
Agent will take such action as Parent and the Holders Representative instruct the Agent in writing. 
 (d) The Parent and the
Fully-Diluted Stockholders agree to report any payments to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders from the Escrow Accounts as payments subject to a contingency under the installment method described in section 453 of the Code. 
 6. Delivery of Payment. All checks, other than checks delivered at the Agent’s window, shall be forwarded by first class mail. In the case of
any Fully-Diluted Stockholder, all checks, or certificates representing Parent Shares (if requested) shall be mailed to the address or account, as the case may be, set forth on such Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal (or such
other address as is subsequently provided to the Agent in writing by such Fully-Diluted Stockholder) or as set forth on Schedule A hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall pay the allocable cash owing pursuant to the Merger
Agreement to those Fully-Diluted Shareholders identified with an asterisk on Schedule A hereto by wire transfer to the account set forth on such Fully-Diluted Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal and as set forth on Schedule A
hereto 
 7. Follow-Up Mailings. No later than one month after the date hereof, Agent will mail or caused to be mailed a follow-up
letter to all Fully-Diluted Stockholders who did not theretofore surrender their certificates, or supply an affidavit pursuant to Section 4(f) of this Agreement, for payment of the proceeds. The follow-up letter will be mailed with a
Letter of Transmittal, return envelope and W-9 Guidelines. In addition, the Agent may perform a search to locate these holders and is authorized to comply and to report to all states and jurisdictions in accordance with applicable state abandoned
property law for holders who cannot be located. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with the performance of this duty shall not be incurred by Parent, but will be paid by the Fully-Diluted Stockholder who is the recipient of such mailing
by set-off of amounts paid thereto pursuant to this Agreement from time to time. 
 8. Formation of the Escrow Accounts. Concurrently
herewith, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Agent (i) the Indemnity Escrow, and the Agent agrees to accept and hold the Indemnity Escrow in a separate account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”), and
(ii) the Adjustment Holdback, and the Agent agrees to accept and hold the Adjustment Holdback in a separate account (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”). The Indemnity Escrow represents a source of indemnification payments in the
event that any Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification as provided in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement. The Adjustment Holdback represents a source of payment in the event Parent is entitled to payment pursuant to
Section 4.8 of the Merger Agreement. 
 9. Allocation of Distributions and Payments. The amount of any distributions or payments
(including pursuant to Section 11 hereof) to be made to, or on behalf of, a Fully- 
  

 - 5 - 

 Diluted Stockholder hereunder will be determined by the Agent based on the pro rata ownership (calculated on a
fully-diluted basis based on the aggregate Fully-Diluted Company Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time) of Fully-Diluted Company Common Shares owned by such Fully-Diluted Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective
Time as set forth on Schedule A hereto. 
 10. Tax Distributions. Each Fully-Diluted Stockholder shall be entitled to receive a
cash distribution (a “Tax Distribution”) by delivery of a check to the address set forth in such Fully-Diluted Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal (unless the Agent shall have subsequently received written instructions from any
such Fully-Diluted Stockholder in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal) and as set forth on Schedule A hereto from the Agent for each taxable year in amounts sufficient to enable such Fully-Diluted Stockholder to discharge (after taking
into account any other distributions received by such party for such taxable year) any federal, state and local tax liability arising as a result of the amount of the earnings on the Indemnity Escrow and the Adjustment Holdback allocated to such
Fully-Diluted Stockholder and reported to the Internal Revenue Service by the Agent pursuant to Section 5 hereof, determined by assuming a combined federal, state and local tax rate of 40%. All Tax Distributions pursuant to this
Section 10 shall be made by the Agent to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders annually no later than March 31st of each year during the term of this Agreement. 
 11. Distribution of the Escrow Amounts. The Agent shall hold the Indemnity Escrow and the Adjustment Holdback (the “Escrow Amounts”) for the benefit of Parent or the Fully-Diluted Stockholders,
as the case may be, until instructed to deliver the Escrow Amounts as follows: 
 (a) Indemnification Claims. At any
time and from time to time prior to the Final Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined), in the event a Parent Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification in respect of Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement (an “Indemnification
Claim”), such Indemnification Claim shall be brought in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4 of the Merger Agreement and Parent shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) to the Agent and the
Holders Representative setting forth the amount of such Indemnification Claim and a reasonable written description of and basis for such Indemnification Claim, together with copies of any documentation evidencing such claim. Parent shall also
deliver to the Agent written proof of delivery to the Holders Representative of a copy of such Indemnification Notice (which proof may consist of a photocopy of the registered or certified mail or overnight courier receipt or the signed receipt if
delivered by hand). In the event each of the Agent and Parent has not received a written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) objecting to such Indemnification Claim from the Holders Representative within thirty (30) days following
the Agent’s receipt of proof of delivery of the Indemnification Notice to the Holders Representative, the Agent shall pay to Parent the aggregate amount of the Indemnification Claim from the Indemnity Escrow Account and the then current
Indemnity Escrow balance (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount Balance”) shall be reduced by such payment. 
 (b)
Disputes. If the Holders Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to any Indemnification Claim or portion thereof to the Agent and Parent within thirty (30) days 
  

 - 6 - 

 following the Agent’s receipt of proof of delivery of such Indemnification Notice to the Holders
Representative, then Parent and Holders Representative each agree that unless the Agent receives a joint instruction signed by Parent and the Holders Representative within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Dispute Notice, subject to
Section 26, the dispute shall be referred for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11(c) below, no Indemnification Claim that is the subject of a Dispute Notice shall be
paid and the Indemnity Escrow Amount Balance shall not be reduced in the event any Indemnification Claim is the subject of a Dispute Notice until the Agent receives either (i) written instructions signed by the Parent and the Holders
Representative authorizing such payment and reduction and specifying all or any portion of the Indemnification Claim that is no longer subject to the Dispute Notice, or (ii) a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction which is not
subject to further appeal setting forth a final determination of the Indemnification Claim that is subject to the Dispute Notice. Upon receipt of such written instructions or such final determination, as the case may be, the Agent shall pay Parent
an aggregate amount equal to the amount set forth in such written instructions or such final determination from the Indemnity Escrow Account and the Indemnity Escrow Amount Balance shall be reduced by such payment. 
 (c) Partial Distribution. If any Dispute Notice includes an objection to only a portion of an Indemnification Claim, the Agent
shall pay Parent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Indemnification Claim not subject to the Dispute Notice from the Indemnity Escrow Account and the Indemnity Escrow Amount Balance shall be reduced by such payment. 

(d) Release of Indemnity Escrow. 
 (i) On the first (1st) business day following the date that is eighteen
(18) months following the Effective Time (the “Distribution Date”), the Agent shall issue checks in an aggregate amount equal to (1) the Indemnity Escrow Amount Balance as of such date minus (2) the aggregate
amount of all Unresolved Claims (as hereinafter defined) to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders in accordance with Article IV of the Merger Agreement and the applicable Letter of Transmittal of each Fully-Diluted Stockholder delivered to the Agent or the
Company at Closing or as otherwise set forth on Schedule A hereto (unless the Agent shall have subsequently received written instructions from any such Fully-Diluted Stockholder in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal) and the Indemnity
Escrow Amount Balance shall be reduced by such payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Unresolved Claim” shall mean, as of the Distribution Date, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Indemnification Claims that are
the subject of a Dispute Notice, including any Indemnification Claim for which an Indemnification Notice has been delivered but for which the thirty (30) days objection period has not expired as of the applicable Distribution Date. 

(ii) Within two (2) business days after (A) the Agent’s receipt of written instructions of the Holders Representative
and Parent, (B) a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction of any Unresolved Claim that is 
  

 - 7 - 

 the subject of a Dispute Notice or (C) the expiration of the thirty (30) day objection period
for any Unresolved Claim for which no Dispute Notice has been delivered, the Agent shall make a cash payment to Parent in an aggregate amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of the Unresolved Claim, if any, as set forth in such written
instructions or final determination or (2) the aggregate amount of such Unresolved Claim for which no Dispute Notice has been delivered in accordance with Section 11(a) of this Agreement, as the case may be. 
 (iii) At such time as all Unresolved Claims existing on the Distribution Date have been resolved in accordance with
Section 11(d)(ii), the Agent shall issue checks for (A) all Undistributed Indemnity Escrow Earnings (as hereinafter defined) on the Indemnity Escrow on such date (less the Parent’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) thereof) to
the Fully-Diluted Stockholders in accordance with Article IV of the Merger Agreement and the applicable Letter of Transmittal of each Fully-Diluted Stockholder delivered to the Agent or the Company at Closing or as otherwise set forth on Schedule
A hereto (unless the Agent shall have subsequently received written instructions amending the applicable Letter of Transmittal from any such Fully-Diluted Stockholder) and (B) an aggregate amount equal to the Parent’s Pro Rata Share of
all Undistributed Indemnity Escrow Earnings on the Indemnity Escrow on such date to the Parent. For purposes of this Section 11(d), the term “Undistributed Indemnity Escrow Earnings” for any period shall mean an
aggregate amount equal to (x) the aggregate amount of all earnings on the Indemnity Escrow during such period minus (y) the aggregate amount of all Tax Distributions and any accruals in respect of taxes payable on the earnings on
the Indemnity Escrow during such period. 
 (e) Claims Procedures. All Indemnification Claims under Section 8.2 of
the Merger Agreement arising as a result of third party claims against Parent Indemnified Parties shall be made and resolved as hereinafter set forth. If a claim by a third party is made against a Parent Indemnified Party, and if such Parent
Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement, such Parent Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Holders Representative of such Indemnification Claims. The failure to provide
such notice shall not result in a waiver of any right to indemnification under Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to an Indemnification
Claim arising from a third-party claim against a Parent Indemnified Party, the Parent Indemnified Party shall undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing (the expense of such counsel to be included in the amount of such
Indemnification Claim), the settlement or defense thereof; provided, however, no later than 30 days following receipt of notice of such Indemnification Claim from Parent upon delivery of written notice to Parent confirming the
obligation of the Fully-Diluted Stockholders to indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties, the Holders Representative may undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of his own choosing (provided that such counsel is reasonably
acceptable to Parent) and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Parent Indemnified Party 
  

 - 8 - 

 shall cooperate with the Holders Representative in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include
the retention and (upon the Holders Representative’s reasonable request) the provision to the Holders Representative of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the third party claim, and making employees available on a mutually
convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided in connection therewith, including, providing testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be
reasonably requested. The Parent Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel of Parent’s own choosing and at Parent’s own expense, with the Holders Representative in the settlement or defense thereof, it being understood that the
Holders Representative shall control such defense. The Holders Representative shall not, except with the consent of the Parent Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, enter into any settlement or consent to entry
of any judgment that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such claim to such Parent Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability with respect thereto, or
(ii) imposes any restriction, condition or obligation on, or requires any undertaking or admission by such Parent Indemnified Party. 
 (f) Release of Adjustment Holdback. Upon the final determination of, or agreement as to, the Actual Adjustments pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Merger Agreement, and following receipt of (i) a written
direction executed by each of Parent and the Holders Representative or (ii) certified court order, the Agent shall promptly (1) make a cash payment to Parent in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to the amount by which the Actual
Adjustments exceeds the Estimated Adjustments (provided that, in the event such deficit is in excess of the Adjustment Holdback, such excess shall be deducted from the Indemnity Escrow) plus the Parent’s Pro Rata Share of all
undistributed earnings on the Adjustment Holdback and (2) make a cash payment to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders of any remaining amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account, together with any cash payment received from Parent pursuant to
Section 4.8(c) of the Merger Agreement, plus all undistributed earnings on the Adjustment Holdback (less the Parent’s Pro Rata Share thereof). 
 (g) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when the entire Escrow Amounts have been released and distributed in accordance
with this Section 11. Upon such termination, this Agreement shall have no further force and effect, except that the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 14, 16, and 17 shall survive such
termination. 
 (h) Parent’s Pro Rata Share. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Parent’s Pro Rata
Share” shall mean, as of any date of determination, (i) with respect to the Indemnity Escrow, the percentage obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount distributed to Parent pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b) and
(c) by (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate amount distributed to Parent pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b) and (c) plus (2) the aggregate amount distributed to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders pursuant to
Section 11(d)(i) and (ii) and (ii) with respect to the Adjustment Holdback, the percentage obtained by dividing (A) the amount paid to Parent pursuant to Section 11(f) by (B) the original Adjustment
Holdback; provided, however, that in neither case shall the Parent’s Pro Rata Share be greater than 100%. 
  

 - 9 - 

 (i) Holders’ Representative. Prior to the disbursement of any amounts due and
owing the Fully-Diluted Stockholders hereunder, upon receipt of written documentation from the Holders’ Representative, any fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Holders’ Representative hereunder or in connection with the
compromise, settlement or satisfaction of any claim asserted by or against the Holders’ Representative shall be reimbursed from such amounts otherwise due to the Fully-Diluted Stockholders. 
 12. Rights to the Escrow Amounts. None of the Company, the Fully-Diluted Stockholders, the Holders Representative or Parent shall be deemed to
have any right, title or interest in or possession of the Escrow Amounts and therefore shall not have the ability to pledge, convey, hypothecate or grant as security the Escrow Amounts unless and until such funds have been disbursed or are required
to be disbursed to one of the parties pursuant to Section 11 above. Accordingly, the Agent will not act as custodian of the Company, the Fully-Diluted Stockholders, the Holders Representative or Parent for the purposes of perfecting a
security interest therein, and no creditor of the Company, the Fully-Diluted Stockholders, the Holders Representative or Parent shall have any right to have or to hold the Escrow Amounts as collateral for any obligation and shall not be able to
obtain a security interest in any assets (tangible or intangible) contained in or relating to the Escrow Amounts. 
 13. Conditions to
Escrow. The Agent agrees to hold the Escrow Amounts and to perform in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Parent, the Company and the Holders Representative agree that the Agent does not assume any responsibility for the
failure of Parent, the Company or the Holders Representative to perform in accordance with this Agreement. The acceptance by the Agent of its responsibilities hereunder is subject to the following terms and conditions, which the parties hereto agree
shall govern and control with respect to the Agent’s rights, duties, liabilities and immunities: 
 (a) The Agent shall
be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it, not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of
any information therein contained, which the Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports to be. Should it be necessary for the Agent to act upon any instructions, directions, documents or instruments issued or signed by or on
behalf of any corporation, fiduciary, or individual acting on behalf of another party hereto, it shall not be necessary for the Agent to inquire into such corporation’s, fiduciary’s or individual’s authority. 
 (b) The Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any
mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except for its own gross negligence, recklessness, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 (c) The Agent may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel in the event of any question as to any of the provisions hereof or
the duties hereunder, and it 
  

 - 10 - 

 shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the
opinion and instructions of such counsel, subject to Section 13(b) above. The reasonable and documented costs of such counsel’s services shall be paid to the Agent in accordance with Section 16 below. 
 (d) The Agent shall have no duties except those which are expressly set forth herein and it shall not be bound, other than as provided in
Section 13(c) above, by any agreement of the other parties hereto (whether or not it has any knowledge thereof) or by any notice of a claim, or demand with respect thereto, or any waiver of this Agreement, until received by an officer in
its trust division in writing. 
 (e) The Agent reserves the right to resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior
written notice of the effective date of resignation to the Holders Representative and Parent, specifying the effective date thereof. Within thirty (30) days after receiving the aforesaid notice, Parent may appoint a successor agent acceptable
to the Holders Representative (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to which the Agent may distribute the Escrow Amounts then held hereunder, less the portion of Agent’s fees, costs and expenses payable by the
Fully-Diluted Stockholders from the Indemnity Escrow. If a successor agent has not been appointed by Parent by the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Holders Representative may, within five (5) business days after the end of
Parent’s thirty (30) day period, appoint a successor agent acceptable to Parent (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to which the Agent may distribute the Escrow Amounts then held hereunder, less the
Agent’s fees, costs and expenses. If a successor agent has not been appointed and has not accepted such appointment by the end of such thirty-five (35) day period, the Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor agent. 
 (f) Upon delivery of all of the Escrow Amounts pursuant to the terms of
Section 11 above or to a successor agent, the Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any further obligations hereunder. The Agent is hereby authorized, in any and all events, to comply with and obey any and all final judgments, orders
and decrees of any court of competent jurisdiction which may be filed, entered or issued, and, if it shall so comply or obey, it shall not be liable to any other person by reason of such compliance or obedience. 
 (g) In case the Agent becomes involved in litigation on account of the Escrow Amounts or this Agreement, it shall have the right to retain
counsel and all reasonable and documented costs, attorneys’ fees, charges, disbursements, and expenses in connection with such litigation shall be paid one-half by the Fully-Diluted Stockholders from the Indemnity Escrow and one-half by Parent
or as may be otherwise agreed among Parent and the Holders Representative. 
 14. Indemnification. The Holders Representative and
Parent, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Agent for and to hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, recklessness, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent arising
out of or in connection with its performance under this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent the actions of Parent or the Holders Representative give rise 
  

 - 11 - 

 to any such loss, liability or expense, then the party whose actions did not give rise to such loss, liability or expense

 Exhibit 10.3.2 
 SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Second Amendment to Employment Agreement is made this
23rd day of May 2006, by Highland Hospitality Corporation, a Maryland Corporation (the “REIT”), with its
principal place of business at 8405 Greensboro Drive, Suite 500, McLean, VA 22102 and James L. Francis, residing at 7283 Kent Point Road, Stevensville, Maryland 21666 (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the REIT entered into that certain Employment Agreement dated October 24, 2003 and amended on March 29, 2004
(the “Employment Agreement”) with the Executive; 
 WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to amend the Employment Agreement to
comply with the payment rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and 
 WHEREAS, Highland Hospitality, L.P. has consented to this Second Amendment. 
 NOW THEREFORE,
the parties agree that the Employment Agreement shall be amended as follows: 
 1. Section 6(d)(v) is amended by the addition of a new
Sub-section 6(d)(v)(D) which shall read as follows: 
 (D) Notwithstanding the preceding terms of this Section 6(d)(v), in determining
the net benefits that that would have been retained by the Executive if the Excise Tax had not been applicable and for purposes of determining the Executive’s highest marginal rate of taxation used in determining the Gross-Up Amount, any
interest or additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (applicable to certain nonqualified deferred compensation payments) shall disregarded. 
 2. The Employment Agreement is amended by the addition of a new Section 12, which shall read as follows: 
 12. Section 409A Compliance 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other agreements between the REIT or the
Company, and the Executive (“Other Agreements”) to the contrary, if, based on Internal Revenue Service guidance available as of the date the payment or provision of any amount or other benefit is required to be made under this Agreement
(including, but no limited to, any payment, accelerated vesting, benefit continuation right or Gross-Up Amount under Section 6 hereof) or under any Other Agreements, the REIT reasonably determines that the payment or provision of such amount or
other benefit at such specified time may potentially subject the Executive to “additional tax” and “interest” under 

 Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to,
or in connection with, such tax, a “409A Tax”), because the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code or otherwise, and if payment of such amount or provision of such
benefit at a later date would likely avoid any such 409A Tax, then the payment or provision thereof shall be postponed to the earliest business day on which the REIT reasonably determines such amount or benefit can be paid or provided without
incurring any such 409A Tax, but in no event later than the first business day after the six-month anniversary of the Executive’s severance from service within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code (the “Delayed Payment
Date”). In the event a benefit is to be provided during the period commencing on the Executive’s separation from service and ending on the Delayed Payment Date and the provision of such benefit during that period would be treated as a
payment of nonqualified deferred compensation in violation of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then continuation of such benefit during that period shall be conditioned on payment by the Executive of the full premium or other cost of
coverage and as of the Delayed Payment Date the REIT shall reimburse the Executive for the premiums or other cost of coverage paid by the Executive, which but for this paragraph would have been paid by the REIT. The REIT and the Executive may agree
to take other actions to avoid the imposition of 409A Tax at such time and in such manner as permitted under Section 409A. The REIT shall have no liability to the Executive in the event that Executive shall be liable for a 409A Tax. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Second Amendment to Employment Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
