User, or (iii) any person or party other than Autodesk or a Distribution Partner. 
  
 3.7 No Mischaracterization. VAR shall not attempt to mischaracterize an Update or an Upgrade as a stand-alone, fully paid-up license to the corresponding Autodesk Product(s) for the purpose of attempting to upgrade, exchange, or
otherwise procure an economic benefit from such Update or Upgrade. VAR shall not market, distribute, or support any Authorized Product(s) to any entity purporting to be an End User but which is either known to VAR or known to Autodesk and

technical data, provided by Autodesk under this Agreement are subject to United States laws and regulations, which may restrict or prohibit resale or other transfers to other countries and parties. VAR agrees that no Autodesk Product(s) or technical

and regulations of VAR’s country which restrict or prohibit exports and (ii) monitoring any modifications to such laws and regulations. VAR’s failure to comply with U.S. foreign trade and export laws and regulations, or those of
VAR’s country, shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. VAR shall notify Autodesk immediately upon learning that it has exported, transferred or disclosed any Autodesk product to any country, entity or other party which is
ineligible to receive such items under U.S. laws and regulations or those of VAR’s country. 
  
 3.9 Territory Limitations. VAR shall not attempt to market or distribute Authorized Product(s) other than from the applicable Authorized Location and in the applicable Authorized Territory set forth in the
Authorization Matrix, unless authorized by Autodesk in writing. Any advertising, including but not limited to, trade magazine and web based

returns policies on the OTW or any Autodesk site as designated by Autodesk. Autodesk reserves the right to change, amend or discontinue any End User software product returns policies upon thirty (30) days notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
at Autodesk’s request, VAR shall destroy Autodesk Product(s) for which return authorization has been received from Autodesk, and VAR shall certify in writing to the complete destruction of said Autodesk Product(s).

non-transferable right to indicate to the public that it is an Authorized VAR, as well as other program designations specific to Autodesk programs that VAR participates in, and to advertise the Authorized Product(s) within the United States under
the trademarks and slogans adopted by Autodesk from time to time (‘Trademarks”). VAR’s use of the Trademarks in any literature, promotion, or advertising shall be in accordance with Autodesk guidelines for such usage. VAR shall not
contest, oppose, or challenge Autodesk’s ownership of the Trademarks. All representations of Autodesk Trademarks that VAR intends to use shall be exact copies of those used by Autodesk, or shall first be submitted to the appropriate Autodesk
personnel for written approval of design, color, and other details, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any of the Autodesk Trademarks are to be used in conjunction with another trademark on or in relation to the Autodesk
Product(s), then the Autodesk Trademarks shall be presented equally legibly, equally prominently, but nevertheless separated from the other so that each appears to be a trademark in its own right, distinct from the other mark. All use of the
Trademarks shall inure to the sole benefit of Autodesk. Effective upon the termination of this VAR Agreement, VAR shall immediately cease all usage of Autodesk Trademarks. 
  
 9. Title and Proprietary Rights. The Autodesk Product(s) and other materials included in or incorporated therein and included on an

other right or license to patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or trademarks with respect to the Materials. VAR shall take all reasonable measures to protect Autodesk’s proprietary rights in the Materials and shall not copy, use or distribute
the Materials, or any derivative thereof, in any manner or for any purpose, except as expressly authorized in this VAR Agreement. VAR shall not disassemble, decompile, or reverse-engineer the Materials, including any Autodesk Product source code, or
otherwise attempt to discover any Autodesk trade secret or other proprietary information, or hack, impede, change or interfere with any Autodesk web site. VAR acknowledges that Autodesk has an Anti-Piracy Program and VAR agrees to review and follow
the Anti-Piracy Program guidelines as published by Autodesk from time to time. VAR shall notify Autodesk promptly in writing upon its discovery of any 

 
unauthorized use of the Autodesk Product(s) or infringement of Autodesk’s patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or other intellectual property
rights. VAR shall not distribute any Autodesk Product(s) to any person or entity if VAR is aware that such person or entity may be involved in potential unauthorized use of the Materials or other infringement of Autodesk’s proprietary rights.

  
 10. Customer Data. All customer data, including End User Records, is
and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Autodesk and VAR shall have no right, title or interest in or to such customer data. All customer data is Autodesk confidential information and shall be treated by VAR as Autodesk’s valuable
trade secret. On occasion and at Autodesk’s sole discretion, VAR may have access to Autodesk’s customer database. VAR’s access to such database shall be limited to customers with which VAR has a pre-existing business relationship, and
its use shall be strictly limited to the express purpose authorized by Autodesk. In the event that VAR loses its authorization for any Authorized Product(s), Autodesk reserves the right to provide another Authorized Reseller with access to
Autodesk’s customer database for the customers to which VAR can no longer sell such Authorized Product(s). Autodesk does not represent or warrant to VAR that the information in Autodesk’s customer database is current, correct or complete
and Autodesk shall have no liability to VAR for any information contained in the Autodesk’s customer database. Autodesk shall have no liability for VAR’s violation of any laws in connection with customer contact including, but not limited
to, privacy laws, National “Do Not Call List” regulations and Federal, State and Provincial “Spam” and fax blast rules. 
  
 11. Warranty and Limitations of Warranty. Autodesk makes certain limited warranties to the End User in the End User License and disclaims all other warranties. VAR
SHALL NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION ACTUALLY, APPARENTLY OR OSTENSIBLY ON BEHALF OF AUTODESK. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS END USER WARRANTY REFERRED TO HEREIN, AUTODESK MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY
STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING AUTODESK PRODUCT(S). AUTODESK EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY OR NON INFRINGEMENT. 
  
 12. Indemnity 
  
 12.1 Infringement Indemnity by Autodesk. Autodesk shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend, at its expense, VAR from any action brought against VAR which alleges
that any Autodesk Product(s) infringes a registered United States patent, copyright, or trade secret, provided that VAR promptly notifies Autodesk in writing of any claim, gives Autodesk sole control of the defense and settlement thereof, and
provides all reasonable assistance in connection therewith. If the Autodesk Product is finally adjudged to so infringe, Autodesk, at its exclusive option, (i) shall procure for VAR the right to continue distribution of such Autodesk Product(s);
(ii) shall modify or replace such Autodesk Product(s) with a non-infringing product; or (iii) shall authorize return of the Autodesk Product(s) and terminate this VAR Agreement. Autodesk shall have no liability regarding any claim
(i) arising out of the use of the Autodesk Product(s) in combination with other products, or modification of the Autodesk Product(s), if the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination, modification, or usage, or (ii) for
use of the Autodesk Product(s) which does not comply with the terms of the End User License or this VAR Agreement. THE FOREGOING STATES VAR’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF
ANY KIND. 
  
 12.2 Indemnity by VAR. VAR agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend Autodesk from any cost, loss, liability, or expense, including court costs and reasonable fees for attorneys or other professionals, arising out of or resulting from (i) any claim or demand brought against Autodesk or its
directors, employees, or agents by a third party arising from or in connection with any breach by VAR of the terms of this VAR Agreement or any End User License, (ii) any action brought by an End User or Distribution Partner except as set

 
forth in Section 12.1 above, (iii) any breach by VAR of any provision of this VAR Agreement including, but not limited to, confidentiality and trade
secrets, or (iv) any negligent or willful act or omission by VAR, VAR’s employees, or VAR’s sales channel including, but not limited to, any act or omission that contributes to (a) any bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death;
(b) any injury or destruction to tangible property or loss of use resulting there from; or (c) any violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation including but not limited to privacy laws. 
  
 13. Limitation of Liability. AUTODESK’S ENTIRE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT
OF THIS VAR AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE ORDER, DELIVERY OR NON-DELIVERY OF ANY AUTODESK PRODUCT(S), SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (i) THE VAR COST OF AUTODESK PRODUCT(S) PURCHASED BY VAR IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT OR,
(ii) FIVE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($500.00). IN NO EVENT SHALL AUTODESK BE LIABLE FOR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS VAR AGREEMENT, HOWEVER
CAUSED, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT AUTODESK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FUNDAMENTAL BREACH,
BREACH OF MATERIAL TERM OR FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. 
  
 14. Confidentiality 
  
 14.1 Confidential Information. As
used in this VAR Agreement, confidential information shall mean any information that is (i) designated as confidential orally or in writing by either party hereto, (ii) related to any Autodesk Product(s), (iii) related to
Autodesk’s business, or (iv) other information received by VAR by virtue of VAR’s relationship with Autodesk including, but not limited to, product plans, product designs, product costs, product prices, product names, finances,
marketing plans, business opportunities, Autodesk customer data, personnel, research, development, this VAR Agreement, customer data or know-how (“Confidential Information”). 
  
 14.2 Limitations on Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each party shall
exercise the same degree of care employed by such party to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of its own Confidential Information but in no event employing less than reasonable care. Confidential Information disclosed under this VAR Agreement shall
only be used by the receiving party in the furtherance of this VAR Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder. VAR shall not disclose the terms of this VAR Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other,
except pursuant to a valid and enforceable order of a court or government agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit Autodesk’s right to disclose its standard VAR Agreement and other Autodesk Confidential Information to
third parties. 
  
 14.3 Exceptions. Confidential Information does
not include information which (i) is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without restriction or violation of confidentiality, (ii) is known to or developed by the receiving party independently without use of the
Confidential Information, (iii) is or becomes generally known to the public by other than a breach of duty hereunder by the receiving party, or (iv) has been approved in advance for release by written authorization of the non-disclosing
party. 
  
 15. Term, Termination, and Other Remedies 
  
 15.1 Term. This VAR Agreement, when fully executed by the parties, shall begin on the
Effective Date, and shall continue in effect through midnight on January 31, 2007 when it shall then terminate, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of this VAR Agreement. 

 15.2 Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this VAR Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice to the other party if the other party breaches any term or condition of this VAR Agreement and fails to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching party within the thirty (30) day written notice period. For the
avoidance of doubt, Autodesk may terminate VAR’s Authorization Level(s), and/or VAR’s authorization to distribute and market, distribute and support Authorized Product(s) on a (i) per Authorized Location basis, and/or on a
(ii) Authorized Product basis. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Autodesk
may terminate this VAR Agreement with immediate effect for incurable material breaches, such as conviction of a crime relating to the conduct of business in relation to Autodesk, or any other act that impairs goodwill associated with any Autodesk
mark, logo or brand. 
  
 15.3 Termination for Insolvency. Autodesk may
immediately terminate this VAR Agreement with or without notice if VAR becomes insolvent, or the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the
benefit of creditors, if that proceeding is not dismissed with prejudice within sixty (60) days after filing. In addition to the foregoing, in the event VAR either voluntarily files for protection against its creditors under the United States
Bankruptcy Code or is the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy, VAR agrees that Autodesk is entitled to all rights to retain the benefits of this VAR Agreement which are set forth in 11 U.S.C. 365(n). No right granted to Autodesk under
11 U.S.C. 365(n) shall be deemed to have been waived either expressly or by implication without a written agreement confirming such waiver. 
  
 15.4 Termination for Customer Dissatisfaction. In consideration for its authorization, Autodesk is relying upon VAR to behave in a professional and upstanding
manner in its relationship with all End Users. Failure to attain a high level of customer satisfaction is considered a material breach of this VAR Agreement, and Autodesk reserves the right to terminate this VAR Agreement in the event that Autodesk
receives customer dissatisfaction complaints from an End User, regarding VAR. 
  
 15.5 Termination for Failure to Meet Minimum Purchase Requirements. Failure by VAR to achieve the Minimum Purchase Requirements may result in the termination of this VAR Agreement or the applicable Authorized Product(s) and/or
Authorization Level by Autodesk, in its sole discretion. 
  
 15.6 Breach
of Other Agreements with Autodesk. In the event VAR has any other current agreements of any other type with Autodesk (“Other Autodesk Agreement(s)”), the breach of any term of any such Other Autodesk Agreement(s) may, at
Autodesk’s option, be deemed a breach of this VAR Agreement and shall permit Autodesk to terminate this VAR Agreement in the same manner as if a breach of the terms of this VAR Agreement had occurred. Any alleged breach by Autodesk of any Other
Autodesk Agreement(s) shall not be deemed a breach of this VAR Agreement by Autodesk and shall not constitute cause for termination by VAR or support an allegation by VAR of damages under this Agreement. 
  
 15.7 Partial Termination. In the event Autodesk exercises partial termination rights
under this Section 15, said partial termination shall not affect this VAR Agreement’s application with respect to the remaining authorization(s) or affect any remaining part of any Other Autodesk Agreement(s). 
  
 15.8 Effect of Termination 
  
 (a) Monies Due and Payable. Notwithstanding any credit terms previously established
with VAR or any other provision of this VAR Agreement, upon notice of termination of this VAR Agreement, all monies owed by VAR to Autodesk shall become immediately due and payable. Overdue amounts are subject to a late payment charge of one and
one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. 

 (b) Fulfillment of VAR Orders. Upon delivery of notice of a breach or notice of termination of this VAR Agreement,
Distribution Partners shall not be obligated to fulfill any orders received subsequent to the effective date of termination. In Autodesk’s sole discretion, Autodesk and Distribution Partners may continue to fulfill orders provided that VAR
(i) submits prepayments for any such order and (ii) pays all outstanding obligations to Autodesk and/or Autodesk Distribution Partner prior to any shipment. 
  
 (c) Return of Materials. Within thirty (30) days after the termination of this VAR Agreement, VAR, at its own expense, shall
return to Autodesk, all Autodesk confidential information, data, photographs, samples, literature and sales aids, and any other property of Autodesk then in VAR’s possession, and/or upon Autodesk’s written request, destroy all or part of
the foregoing property and certify to its complete destruction. 
  
 15.9
Attorneys’ Fees for Collections. In any action brought by Autodesk to collect monies due under this VAR Agreement, Autodesk is entitled to recover all costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in maintaining such action. 
  
 15.10 No Termination Compensation. Except as expressly set forth herein, the parties
expressly agree that no damages, indemnity or termination benefits whatsoever (including without limitation, any compensation for goodwill established by VAR during the term of this VAR Agreement or for any lost profits or expenses of VAR) shall be
due or payable to VAR by reason of any termination of this VAR Agreement in accordance with its terms, and VAR expressly waives the application of any statute, law or custom to the contrary. 
  
 15.11 Other Remedies. In addition to the right to terminate this VAR Agreement,
Autodesk reserves all rights and remedies available to Autodesk at law or in equity, including the right to seek damages and injunctive relief for breach or threatened breach of this VAR Agreement by VAR. 
  
 15.12 Reapplication Post Termination. In the Event this VAR Agreement is terminated or
VAR loses one or more authorizations for any reason, VAR may not reapply for any Autodesk Channel Partner program, including any then existing VAR program, for a minimum of six (6) months after the effective date of the termination. Nothing
herein shall require Autodesk to consider VAR for any Autodesk Channel Partner program. 
  
 15.13 Surviving Provisions. The following terms and conditions shall survive and continue after termination/expiration of this VAR Agreement: 3.8, 5, 7.2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16. 
  
 16. General Provisions 
  
 16.1 Assignment. VAR acknowledges that Autodesk is relying upon VAR’s reputation, business standing, and goodwill under
VAR’s present ownership in entering into this VAR Agreement. Accordingly, VAR agrees that its rights and obligations under this VAR Agreement may not be transferred or assigned and its duties may not be delegated directly or indirectly without
the prior written consent of Autodesk in its sole discretion. VAR shall notify Autodesk promptly in writing of any change of ownership of VAR or of any sale of all or substantially all of VAR’s assets. VAR also shall promptly notify Autodesk if
it forms a subsidiary or an affiliate entity in connection with Autodesk’s business, or changes its legal or operating name. VAR acknowledges that any change of ownership, sale of all or substantially all of VAR’s assets, or attempted
assignment by VAR of this VAR Agreement, or any part thereof, without Autodesk’s prior written consent may result in immediate termination of this VAR Agreement by Autodesk. Autodesk may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations
to successors-in-interest (whether by purchase of stock or assets, merger, operation of law, or otherwise) of that portion of its business related to the subject matter hereof. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 16.1, all of
the terms and conditions of this VAR Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. 

 16.2 Dispute Resolution

between the parties before resorting to other remedies available to them. Any such dispute shall be referred to appropriate senior executives of each party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter. If the senior executives are unable to
resolve the dispute, the parties may by agreement refer the matter to an appropriate forum of alternative dispute resolution ranging from mediation to arbitration. If the parties cannot resolve the matter or if they cannot agree upon an alternative
form of dispute resolution, then either party may pursue resolution of the matter through litigation pursuant to Section 16 herein. 
  
 (b) The forgoing shall not apply to a dispute or controversy involving either party’s Confidential Information or intellectual property. In the event of such

the other party of the delay and the cause thereof and promptly resumes performance as soon as it is possible to do so.

	 FY07 NA VAR Agreement Exhibit A
	  	Dec 2005Form of Voting Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 VOTING AND OPTION AGREEMENT 
  

This VOTING AND OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Voting Agreement”), dated as of February __, 2006, is by and between Fortune Brands,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and
                                (the “Stockholder”).

  
 RECITALS 
  
 WHEREAS, concurrent with the execution of this Voting Agreement, the Parent,
Brightstar Acquisition, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), SBR, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and Samuel B. Ross, II, as
the Holders Representative, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated of even date herewith (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will
merge with the Company (the “Merger”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares set forth below the Stockholder’s name and signature on the signature page hereto; and 
  
 WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, the Parent desires that the Stockholder
agree, and the Stockholder is willing to agree, to enter into this Voting Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parent and the Stockholder, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Certain Definitions.
In addition to the terms defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. For purposes of this Voting Agreement: 
  
 (a) “Beneficially Own” or
“Beneficial Ownership” with respect to any securities means having “beneficial ownership” of such securities as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of the same securities by the same holder, securities Beneficially Owned by a Person shall include securities
Beneficially Owned by all other Persons with whom such Person would constitute a “group” as within the meanings of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. 
  
 (b) “Shares” means (i) shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.10 per share,
of the Company, (ii) shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the Company, and (iii) any change in such shares by reason of any stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion of securities,
exchange of shares or the like. 
  
 2. Voting of Company
Stock. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the first to occur of (a) the Effective Time or (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with
its terms (the 

 
“Termination Date”), at any meeting of the holders of the Shares, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the holders
of the Shares, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares held of record or Beneficially Owned by the Stockholder and identified on the signature pages hereto that are entitled to vote (whether pursuant to the articles of
incorporation or bylaws of the Company or applicable law), as well as any Shares hereafter acquired: (i) in favor of approval of the Merger, adoption of the Merger Agreement and any actions required in furtherance thereof by the stockholders of
the Company; (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder under
this Voting Agreement; and (iii) except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by the Parent, against the following actions (other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Voting Agreement and the Merger Agreement):
(A) any Acquisition Proposal; or (B)(1) any change in a majority of the individuals who constitute the Company’s Board of Directors; (2) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the Company’s
articles of incorporation or bylaws; (3) any material change in the Company’s corporate structure or business unless specifically contemplated in the Merger Agreement; or (4) any other action which, in the case of each of the matters
referred to in clauses (B)(1), (2) or (3), is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or materially and adversely affect the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Voting Agreement and
the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder agrees that the obligations under this Voting Agreement are unconditional and will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the Company may have received an inquiry, proposal or offer from a Person
regarding an Acquisition Proposal. Further, the Stockholder will not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of any provision contained in this Section 2. 

 
 3. Grant of Proxy; Appointment of Proxy. 
  
 (a) The Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and
appoints, the Parent as proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Stockholder, to vote the Shares that are entitled to vote (whether pursuant to the articles of incorporation or bylaws
of the Company or applicable law), or grant a consent or approval in respect of such Shares, as set forth in Section 2 hereof. The Stockholder hereby ratifies and approves each and every action taken, decision made or instruction given by such
proxy and attorney-in-fact pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof and this Section 3. 
  
 (b) The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such irrevocable
proxy. The Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3 is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Stockholder under this Voting Agreement. The Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable
proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked.

 4. Option to Purchase Shares. 
  
 (a) If (i) the Closing does not occur by the Outside Date and the Merger Agreement has been terminated
pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) the Company or the Stockholder shall have materially breached its obligations under the Merger Agreement (it being understood that any breach of Section 6.7 of the Merger
Agreement shall be deemed a material breach) or this Agreement, and, in the case of both clause (i) and (ii), Parent shall not have materially breached its obligations under the Merger Agreement (it being understood that any breach of
Section 6.7 of the Merger Agreement shall be deemed a material breach) (the foregoing conditions are referred to herein as, the “Option Exercise Conditions”), then, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4(a), the
Stockholder hereby grants to Parent an unconditional, irrevocable option (the “Option”) to purchase the Shares subject to this Agreement, for an aggregate amount equal to (i) the Non-Escrowed Merger Consideration times
(ii) (a) the aggregate Shares to be acquired hereunder divided by (b) the aggregate number of Fully-Diluted Company Common Shares outstanding at the time of the acquisition of such Shares (the “Aggregate Allocable
Consideration”), and on substantially the same additional terms as set forth in the Merger Agreement; provided that, if the Option is exercised pursuant to clause (i) or, in the case of a material breach by the Company,
clause (ii) above, Parent shall at the time of such purchase, exercise its option to purchase the other Shares subject to the other Voting Agreements between Parent and the other Principal Stockholders. The Option shall terminate (the
“Option Termination Date”) on the earlier to occur of (x) the Effective Time, or (y) sixty (60) days following the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Article IX thereof, and any exercise of the Option
following the Option Termination Date shall be null and void. 
  
 (b) Parent and the Stockholder acknowledge and agree that in the event of the exercise of the Option, (i) the Stockholder shall provide the representations and warranties with respect to the Stockholder’s
title to and ownership of the Shares set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and (ii) the Stockholder and Parent shall provide other representations, warranties, indemnifications and risk allocations no more extensive than, and subject to the
limitations, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. 
  
 (c) If Parent exercises the Option, Parent and the Stockholders shall use their best efforts to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares as soon as reasonably practical after the exercise of the Option. 
  
 (d) In connection with the payment of the Aggregate Allocable
Consideration to the Shareholder, such Aggregate Allocable Consideration shall be paid in the form of (i) an aggregate number of Parent Shares equal to (A) the product of (1) 0.75 times (2) such Aggregate Allocable
Consideration divided by (B) the Assumed Share Value (the “Issued Parent Shares”) and (ii) with respect to the Remaining Consideration (as hereinafter defined), cash and/or Parent Shares as designated by the
Shareholder; provided, in the event of any stock election with respect to the Remaining Consideration, the aggregate number of Parent Shares to be issued shall be calculated utilizing the Assumed Share Value. For purposes hereof,
“Remaining Consideration” means an 

  

 -3- 

 
aggregate amount equal to the product of (i) the Aggregate Allocable Consideration times (ii) 0.25. 
  
 5. No Ownership Interest. Prior to its purchase of the Shares pursuant
to the Option, (a) nothing contained in this Voting Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent any direct ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Shares and (b) all rights, ownership and economic benefits of and
relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and Parent shall have no authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or
authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting of any of the Shares, except as otherwise provided herein, or in the performance of the Stockholder’s duties or responsibilities with respect to the Company. 
  
 6. Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. The
Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Parent as follows: 
  
 (a) Ownership of Shares. The Stockholder is the sole record and Beneficial Owner of the number of Shares set forth below the
Stockholder’s name on the signature page hereof. On the date hereof, the Shares set forth below the Stockholder’s name on the signature page hereof constitute all of the shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record or
Beneficially Owned by the Stockholder or with respect to which the Stockholder has voting power by proxy, voting agreement, voting trust or other similar instrument. The Stockholder has, and will have at any time from the date hereof until the date
that Section 2 is no longer in effect, sole voting power and sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2 hereof, sole power of disposition, sole power of conversion, sole power to demand appraisal
rights and sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Voting Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Shares set forth below the Stockholder’s name on the signature page hereof, with no limitations, qualifications or
restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable securities laws, and the terms of this Voting Agreement. 
  
 (b) Authorization. The Stockholder has and will have the legal capacity, power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to enter into
and perform all of the Stockholder’s obligations under this Voting Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Voting Agreement by the Stockholder will not violate any other agreement to which the Stockholder is a party
including, without limitation, any voting agreement, stockholders agreement, voting trust, trust or similar agreement. This Voting Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming this Voting Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent, constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
dissolution, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and to the effect of the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in proceedings at law or in equity).
There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Stockholder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement or the consummation by the
Stockholder of the transactions 

  

 -4- 

 
contemplated hereby. If the Stockholder is married and the Shares constitute community property, this Voting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of, the Stockholder’s spouse, enforceable against such person in accordance with its terms. 
  
 (c) No Conflicts. (i) No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any state or federal public body
or authority is necessary for the execution of this Voting Agreement by the Stockholder and the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) none of the execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement by the
Stockholder, the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by the Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or result in any breach of the organizational documents of the
Stockholder (if applicable), (B) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, material modification or
acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind to which the Stockholder is a
party or by which the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s properties or assets may be bound, or (C) violate any order, writ injunction, decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Stockholder or any of the
Stockholder’s properties or assets. 
  
 (d)
No Encumbrances. Except as applicable in connection with the transactions contemplated by Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the Shares at all times during the term hereof will be Beneficially Owned by the Stockholder, free and clear of all liens,
claims, security interests, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever (collectively, “Encumbrances”) other than existing Encumbrances to be discharged at the Effective
Time. 
  
 (e) No Solicitation. The
Stockholder agrees not to take any action inconsistent with or in violation of Section 6.2 of the Merger Agreement. 
  
 (f) Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and Non-Interference. The Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) except as
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to or consent to the offer for
sale, sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any or all of the Shares or any interest therein other than to the heirs or devisees of the Stockholder or to a trust, partnership, limited liability company or
other entity for its benefit, provided that (A) such transferees have acknowledged and agreed in writing to fulfill the obligations of the Stockholder hereunder and (B) Parent receives prior written notice of any such transfer,
(ii) except as contemplated by this Voting Agreement, grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to the Shares, or (iii) take any action that would make any
representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Voting Agreement. 
  

 -5- 

 (g) Reliance by The Parent. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the
Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement. 
  
 (h) Knowledge of Terms and Conditions. The Stockholder acknowledges that the Stockholder has been offered the opportunity to obtain
and review copies of the Parent SEC Reports. The Stockholder acknowledges that it has not been furnished any other offering literature or prospectus except the Parent SEC Reports. The Stockholder has had an opportunity to discuss the Parent SEC
Reports with such legal or financial advisors as the Stockholder has deemed necessary. The Stockholder has relied solely upon independent investigations made by it. No representations or warranties regarding the Parent or ownership of the Parent
Shares have been made to the Stockholder by the Parent or any director, manager, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of the Parent. 
  
 (i) Stock Election. The Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that in the event that the aggregate number of Company Common
Shares to be exchanged for Parent Shares upon receipt of Stock Elections pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii) of the Merger Agreement is less than 2,750,000 (excluding for this purpose any Company Common Shares owned by S. Byrl Ross Enterprises, Inc.
and Tres Investment Company), then, upon delivery of written notice by the Parent to the Stockholder (the “Notice”), the Stockholder shall be deemed, without any further action by the Stockholder and notwithstanding any prior
election, to have made a Stock Election under the Merger Agreement with respect to an aggregate number of Shares Beneficially Owned (the “Additional Share Amount”) by such Stockholder such that the aggregate number of Company Common
Shares to be exchanged for Parent Shares upon receipt of Stock Elections pursuant to the Merger Agreement will equal 2,750,000 (excluding for this purpose any Company Common Shares owned by S. Byrl Ross Enterprises, Inc. and Tres Investment Company)
(after giving effect to each other Voting Agreement executed by a Principal Stockholder thereunder); provided, that each Principal Stockholder shall be allocated an aggregate amount of Additional Share Amounts based on the aggregate number of
Shares Beneficially Owned by such Principal Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time as compared to the aggregate number of Shares Beneficially Owned by all Principal Stockholders (excluding for this purpose Company Common Shares owned by
S. Byrl Ross Enterprises, Inc. and Tres Investment Company) subject to Voting Agreements, subject to rounding to the nearest whole number. The Notice to be delivered by Parent hereunder shall set forth the Additional Share Amount for the Stockholder
and each other Principal Stockholder subject to Voting Agreements. 
  
 7. Stop Transfer. 
  
 (a) The
Stockholder agrees and covenants to the Parent that the Stockholder shall not request that the Company register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Shares, unless such transfer
is made in compliance with this Voting Agreement. 
  
 (b) Without limiting the covenants set forth in paragraph (a) above, in the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in Shares by reason of any stock 

  

 -6- 

 
dividend, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion of securities, exchange of shares or the like, other than pursuant to the Merger, the term
“Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Shares into which or for which any or all of the Shares may be changed or exchanged and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the terms and provisions of this Voting Agreement.

  
 8. Further Assurances. From time to time, at the
Parent’s request and without further consideration, the Stockholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further lawful action as may be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective, in the most
expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Voting Agreement. 
  
 9. Termination. Except as otherwise provided herein, the covenants and agreements contained herein with respect to the Shares shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement
pursuant to Article IX thereof or (b) the Effective Time; provided, however, that Section 4 shall survive in accordance with its terms. 
  

10. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Entire Agreement. This Voting Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
  
 (b) Certain Events. Subject to Section 6(e) hereof, the Stockholder agrees that this Voting Agreement and the obligations
hereunder shall attach to the Shares and shall be binding upon any Person to which legal or Beneficial Ownership of such Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation, the Stockholder’s heirs,
guardians, administrators or successors. Notwithstanding any such transfer of Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations under this Voting Agreement. 
  
 (c) Amendments; Assignment. The provisions of this
Voting Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns. This Voting Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Parent in the
case of an assignment by the Stockholder and the Stockholder in the case of any assignment by the Parent; provided that the Parent may assign, in its sole discretion, its rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve the Parent of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations. 
  
 (d) Amendment and Modification. This Voting Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or
terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the parties hereto affected by such amendment.

(i) personally, (ii) via telecopy, (iii) via 

  

 -7- 

 
overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) or (iv) via registered or certified mail (return receipt requested). Such notice shall be deemed to be
given, dated and received (i) when so delivered personally, via telecopy upon confirmation, or via overnight courier upon actual delivery or (ii) two days after the date of mailing, if mailed by registered or certified mail. Any notice
pursuant to this section shall be delivered as follows:

         Facsimile: (847-484-4490) 
  
 (f) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Voting
Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Voting Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision of this Voting Agreement in such jurisdiction, and this Voting Agreement will be reformed,
construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein. 
  

(g) Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree recognize and acknowledge that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements
contained in this Voting Agreement will cause the other party to sustain damages for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each of the parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the
aggrieved party shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. 
  
 (h) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers and
remedies provided under this Voting Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any such rights, powers or remedies by any party shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party. 
  
 (i) No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Voting Agreement or
otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the 

  

 -8- 

 
terms hereof, will not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

  
 (j) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This
Voting Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. 
  
 (k) Governing Law. This Voting Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 
  
 (l) Waiver of Jury Trial. IT SHALL BE A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO INSTITUTE LITIGATION THAT THE PARTIES
HERETO SHALL FIRST ENGAGE IN MEDIATION IN A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO RESOLVE ANY CONTROVERSY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS VOTING AGREEMENT.

  
 (m) Description Headings. The
description headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Voting Agreement. 
  
 (n) Counterparts. This Voting Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be
