This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 4, 2013, by and among EP Lenders II, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (the “Company”), each of the persons identified on the signature pages hereto as members of the Company (each, a “Member” and collectively, “Members”), Atkore Plastic Pipe Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and the Seller Representative (as defined herein). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Article IX.

RECITALS

A. The Members collectively own all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (including all Member Units, Manager Units and Profit Interests) (collectively, the “Interests”) in the Company, as set forth opposite their respective names on the attached Schedule A. As a result, the Members will receive a material benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

B. The Company owns all of the Acquired Assets and operates its business using the Acquired Assets as a going concern under the d/b/a name “Ridgeline Pipe Manufacturing.”

C. Buyer desires to acquire from the Company, and the Company desires to sell to Buyer, all of the Acquired Assets as a going concern, and Buyer desires to assume the Assumed Liabilities, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACQUIRED ASSETS

1.01 Purchase and Sale of Acquired Assets and Assumption of Assumed Liabilities; Excluded Liabilities.

(a) Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, (i) the Company shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from the Company, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to, the Acquired Assets, in each case free and clear of any and all Liens, in exchange for the payment of the Closing Payment to the Company at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.02(a), and (ii) Buyer shall assume, and agree to pay, perform and discharge when due, the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer will not assume, or otherwise be responsible for, any liabilities or obligations of the Company, whether actual or contingent, direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, or known or unknown, whether arising out of

occurrences prior to, at or after the date of this Agreement. The Company and Members hereby acknowledge that the Company is retaining the Excluded Liabilities, and the Company and Members agree to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all of the Excluded Liabilities promptly as and when due. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall assume or be obligated to pay, perform or discharge any liabilities, obligations or commitments of the Company, Members or any of their respective Affiliates relating to or arising out of any of the Excluded Liabilities.

(c) Excluded Assets. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Excluded Assets are being retained by the Company and Members. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Company and Members shall, at their sole cost and expense, remove all Excluded Assets from the facilities of the Company without unreasonably interfering with the normal operations of the business of the Company or Buyer and shall repair, and indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from, any damage or injury to the premises or other Losses related to such removal. Such removal activities shall be coordinated through the respective plant manager of such facilities.

1.02 Calculation of Closing Payments; Purchase Price. The purchase price for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Acquired Assets and the other obligations of the Company and Members under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to $38,196,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as provided herein (as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”). On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be payable as provided in Sections 1.02(a), 1.02(b), 1.02(d)(iii) and 1.02(d)(iv) as follows:

(a) Closing Payment to the Company. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to the Company in accordance with the Closing Payment Calculation Statement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in the Closing Payment Calculation Statement, an aggregate amount (the “Closing Payment”) equal to:

(i) the Base Purchase Price;

(ii) plus the total amount of Estimated Cash on Hand, if any;

(iii) minus the outstanding amount of Indebtedness as of the Closing;

(iv) minus the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses;

(v) plus the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target;

(vi) minus the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target;

(vii) minus the Lease Assignment Fees;

(viii) plus the Approved Capital Expenditures, if any; and

(ix) minus the Escrow Amount.

For purposes of Sections 1.02(a) and 1.02(b), as applicable, the amount of Estimated Cash on Hand, outstanding Indebtedness, unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, Estimated Net Working Capital, Lease Assignment Fees and Approved Capital Expenditures shall be as set forth in the Closing Payment Calculation Statement as provided herein.

(b) Other Payments at Closing.

(i) Payment of Indebtedness. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay on behalf of the Company all Indebtedness set forth in the Closing Payment Calculation Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with, and to the accounts specified pursuant to, the Payoff Letters and the Closing Payment Calculation Statement.

(ii) Payment of Seller Transaction Expenses. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay on behalf of the Company and Members all of the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Payment Calculation Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with, and to the accounts specified pursuant to, the Closing Payment Calculation Statement.

(iii) Deposit of Escrow Amount. At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds the Escrow Amount to an account to be maintained pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(iv) Payment of Lease Assignment Fees. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay on behalf of the Company all Lease Assignment Fees set forth in the Closing Payment Calculation Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with, and to the accounts specified pursuant to, the Closing Payment Calculation Statement.

(c) Closing Payment Calculation Statement. Not earlier than ten (10) Business Days and not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Seller Representative shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a correct and complete statement, in a form satisfactory to Buyer (the “Closing Payment Calculation Statement”), setting forth (i) an unaudited statement as of the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Statement”), setting forth (A) a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) set forth in reasonable detail and (B) a good faith estimate of the Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date, if any (the “Estimated Cash on Hand”) set forth in reasonable detail, (ii) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Indebtedness as of the Closing Date, together with pay-off letters (the “Payoff Letters”), in a form satisfactory to Buyer, from each Person to which any Indebtedness is owed (the “Company Creditors”), which shall indicate that the applicable Company Creditor has agreed to unconditionally release all Liens in respect of such Indebtedness relating to the Company and its assets and properties upon receipt of the amounts indicated in such Payoff Letters, (iii) the amount of all unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, together with detailed invoices relating thereto issued by the Persons entitled to such amounts, (iv) the aggregate amount of all unpaid Lease Assignment Fees and the individual amounts payable to Persons entitled to receive

any such amounts, (v) a calculation of the amount of the Approved Capital Expenditures, (vi) a calculation of the actual amount of the Closing Payment payable to the Company at Closing and (vii) the wire instructions for the payment of all amounts reflected in the Closing Payment Calculation Statement. The Pre-Closing Statement, Estimated Cash on Hand and Estimated Net Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied in the manner used for the Financial Statements, subject to the exceptions and procedures set forth on Schedule 1.02(c) (the “Accounting Principles”). Buyer shall have the right to review the Closing Payment Calculation Statement and object thereto, and the Company and the Seller Representative, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such objections prior to the Closing and update the Closing Payment Calculation Statement accordingly.

(d) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to the Seller Representative an unaudited statement as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (A) its calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”) and (B) its calculation of the Cash on Hand as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Cash on Hand”), in each case of clauses (A) and (B), prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles.

(ii) If the Seller Representative has any good faith objections to the Closing Statement (or any element thereof), the Seller Representative shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), which statement shall identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts included in the Closing Statement to which the Seller Representative objects (the “Disputed Items”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement as prepared by Buyer (or any element thereof to which the Seller Representative shall not have objected in a timely Objections Statement) shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. If an Objections Statement is timely provided, Buyer and the Seller Representative, in conjunction with their respective independent accounting firms, shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of twenty (20) Business Days from the date of the Objections Statement (or such longer period as they may mutually agree in writing) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Closing Statement or any component thereof. If the parties do not reach a final resolution within such period, the Seller Representative and Buyer may engage ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or another an independent national accounting firm mutually selected by Buyer and the Seller Representative (the accounting firm specified or otherwise agreed upon, the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining Disputed Items. The Seller Representative and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days after its engagement. The Accounting Firm shall determine, only with respect to the Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm, whether the Closing Statement or any component thereof was prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement and, only with respect to the Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm, whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Statement or any component thereof requires adjustment. The Seller Representative and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to promptly deliver to Buyer and the Seller

Representative its determination in writing, which determination shall be made subject to the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement, and shall be (i) consistent with either the position of the Seller Representative or Buyer or (ii) between the positions of the Seller Representative and Buyer. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement, and judgment may be entered thereon in a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company and Members, on the other hand, as determined by the Accounting Firm based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to it. For purposes of illustration only, if there were an aggregate of $100 of items in dispute and if the final written determination of the Accounting Firm states that $80 of such items are in accordance with the Seller Representative’s position and $20 of such items are in accordance with Buyer’s position, the Company would bear 20% of the Accounting Firm’s costs and expenses, on the one hand, and Buyer would bear 80% of such costs and expenses, on the other hand. The date on which the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.02(d)(ii) or as mutually agreed in writing by Buyer and the Seller Representative is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(iii) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date, the absolute value of the amount by which the Closing Date Cash on Hand (as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.02(d)(ii)) is less than or greater than the Estimated Cash on Hand, plus accrued interest as provided herein, shall (A) be paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Buyer to the Seller Representative on behalf of the Company (if such Closing Date Cash on Hand is greater than the Estimated Cash on Hand), or (B) paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the Company and, in the event that the Company fails to make such payment, by the Members (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share), to Buyer (if such Closing Date Cash on Hand is less than the Estimated Cash on Hand).

(iv) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date, the absolute value of the amount by which the Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.02(d)(ii)) is less than or greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, plus accrued interest as provided herein, shall (A) be paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Buyer to the Seller Representative on behalf of the Company (if such Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital), or (B) paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the Company and, in the event that the Company fails to make such payment, by the Members (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share), to Buyer (if such Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital).

(v) The amounts payable pursuant to Sections 1.02(d)(iii) or (iv) shall accrue simple interest on the unpaid balance from and after the Closing Date until such balance is paid in full (but no interest shall be payable for the day on which such payment is made) at a per annum rate equal to “prime rate” as of the Closing Date as published in the Wall Street Journal.

(vi) All payments required pursuant to Sections 1.02(d)(iii) or (iv) shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes.

1.03 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m. (Central Time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the day upon which all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Articles II have been satisfied or waived as provided herein (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or written waiver as provided herein of such conditions) or such other date as is mutually agreed upon in writing by Buyer and the Seller Representative. The Closing shall be deemed to have taken place at, and shall be effective as of, 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs, all transactions and deliveries required to be made or completed at the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to occur concurrently unless otherwise expressly agreed by Buyer and the Seller Representative to the contrary.

1.04 Tax Withholding. Buyer and the Company (as applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law (the “Applicable Tax Withholding”). To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body, Buyer or the Company, as applicable, shall be treated as having paid such withheld amounts to the Person(s) entitled thereto pursuant to this Agreement.

1.05 Allocation. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Seller Representative a proposed schedule allocating the Purchase Price and any other amounts treated as consideration for applicable Tax purposes among the Acquired Assets in accordance with section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “Allocation Schedule”). Buyer shall consider in good faith such reasonable comments to the Allocation Schedule as are provided in writing by the Seller Representative to Buyer within ten (10) days after receipt of the Allocation Schedule. The Allocation Schedule, as finally determined, shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties agree not to take any position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule, as finally determined, for Tax reporting purposes. Any adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be allocated as provided by Treasury Regulations section 1.1060-1(c). Any payments made to the Seller Representative shall be deemed made to the Company as between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company and Seller Representative, on the other hand, and Buyer shall have no responsibility or liability as a result of the failure of the Seller Representative to pay any such amount to the Company or any Member or the allocation of such payments among such Persons.

1.06 Assignability and Consents. Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Acquired Asset that by its terms or by Law is non-assignable without the consent of a third party (including any Governmental Body) or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment (a “Non-Assignable Asset”), unless and until consent from such third party shall have been obtained. With respect to all Non-Assignable Assets, the Members and the Company shall

use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer at its request following the Closing Date in endeavoring to obtain such consents. Subject to the foregoing, Buyer, Members and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required under the Assumed Contracts. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Assets, in the event that consents to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, such Non-Assignable Assets shall be held, as of and from the Closing Date, by the Company for the benefit and detriment of Buyer, and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by Buyer at its expense and in the applicable Company’s name, and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Buyer’s account (and the Company shall promptly pay over to Buyer all money received by it under such Non-Assignable Assets in respect of periods after the Closing Date). As of and from the Closing Date, the Company authorizes Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Assets, at Buyer’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of the Company under the Non-Assignable Assets.

Prior to the Closing, the Members and the Company shall not, and shall cause their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, representatives, agents or Affiliates or Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage, respond favorably to, or condone inquiries or proposals from, or provide any non-public or confidential information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any Person (other than Buyer and its Representatives) concerning (i) any merger, amalgamation, sale of assets not in the ordinary course of business, acquisition, business combination, change of control or other similar transaction involving the Company or any division of the Company, (ii) any purchase or other acquisition by any Person of the Interests or Acquired Assets or (iii) any sale or issuance by the Company or of any limited liability company interests, profit interests or any other securities or equity interests of any kind (each, an “Acquisition Proposal”). Each of the Members and the Company shall (and shall cause their respective Representatives to) cease immediately any and all discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives) regarding any Acquisition Proposal. The Members and the Company shall promptly (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) advise Buyer of, and communicate to Buyer the terms and conditions of (and the identity of the Person making), any such inquiry or proposal.

6.06 Notification. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the discovery thereof, the Members and the Company shall disclose to Buyer in writing any development, fact or circumstance arising after the date hereof causing a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Article III or Article IV and of any breach of the covenants in this Agreement made by the Company or any Member, including any Environmental Liability or potential Environmental Liability. Should any such developments, facts or circumstances require any change to the disclosure schedules in order for the representations and warranties contained in Article III or Article IV to be true as of and on the Closing Date, the Seller Representative shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer a supplement to the disclosure schedule specifying such change(s) (each such supplement, a “Schedule Supplement”). No information or Schedule Supplement provided to Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall be deemed

to cure any breach of any representation or warranty or covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or have any effect for purposes of the indemnification obligations of the Company or Members or the conditions to Closing set forth in Article II or Buyer’s ability to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Article VII.

6.07 Interim Financial Statements. The Company shall provide to Buyer as soon as practical after the end of each calendar month prior to the Closing Date financial statements for the Company as regularly prepared by the management of the Company in the ordinary course of business and any audited financial statements as and when issued by the Company.

6.08 Affiliate Transactions. The Members and the Company shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) terminate each of the agreements, Contracts, commitments and transactions listed (or required to be listed) on Schedule 4.18 effective at or prior to the Closing, without any cost to, payment by or Liability of the Company, except for such Contracts and transactions which are marked with an asterisk thereon or otherwise designated in writing by Buyer.

6.09 Employee Matters. Subject in all respects to the Transition Agreement:

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall make offers of employment, effective as of the Closing Date, to all employees of the Company (other than the employees set forth on Schedule 6.09(a)) on terms and conditions of employment, including cash compensation, bonuses, and employee benefits as determined in the sole discretion of Buyer, but subject to Section 6.09(c). The employees who accept Buyer’s offers of employment and commence employment with Buyer effective as of the Closing Date are herein collectively referred to as the “Transferred Employees.”

(c) The Company and its Affiliates shall be solely liable for any severance, separation, change of control, retention, bonus, profits interest, deferred compensation, accrued vacation or similar benefits that are payable to any employee in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all of which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall constitute Excluded Liabilities hereunder and shall be paid and discharged when due solely by the Company and its Affiliates.

(d) With respect to any employee or employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates (including any severance plan or vacation policy), for all eligibility and vesting purposes (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan), a Transferred Employee’s service with the Company prior to Closing shall be treated as service with Buyer; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(e) All Transferred Employees shall cease to participate in and accrue benefits under all Plans for periods from and after the Closing.

(f) Nothing in this Section 6.09 shall create any third-party beneficiary right in any Person other than the parties to this Agreement, including any current or former employee or Transferred Employee, any participant in any Plans or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or any

right to continued employment with the Company, Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 6.09 shall constitute an amendment to any Plan or any other plan or arrangement covering employees or Transferred Employees. The Company, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate with each other and shall provide each other such documentation, information and assistance as is reasonably necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 6.09.

(g) The Members and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the senior managers of the Company set forth on Schedule 6.09(f) to execute Employment Agreements effective as of Closing.

6.10 Intellectual Property Assignments. Effective as of the Closing, each Member and any other Person (including ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) who may have contributed to the Intellectual Property of the Company shall assign to Buyer all of their respective right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property developed, made, invented or acquired by such Person, if any, from the activities of such Person (whether as a member, manager, officer, employee, consultant or otherwise) relating to the Company prior to the Closing, and each such Person shall execute and deliver to the Buyer all assignments or other documents or instruments reasonably requested by the Buyer in order to effectuate such assignments (the “Intellectual Property Assignments”).

6.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Company and Members shall, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates to, maintain all non-public or confidential information relating to the Acquired Assets or Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective operations in strict confidence and not disclose to any Person or use any such information for any purpose; provided, that such restrictions shall not apply to (i) any information which becomes publicly available after the Closing Date through no fault of the Company or any Member or any of his, her or its Affiliates, (ii) any information which after the Closing is legitimately received by the Company or any Member or any of his, her or its Affiliates from a third party (provided such third party is not known by the Company or any Member or any of his, her or its Affiliates to be bound by an obligation of secrecy) and (iii) any disclosure required by Law or any Governmental Body, so long as notice of such disclosure is given to Buyer prior to making such disclosure and the Company and Members cooperate with Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request to resist such disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent (i) Buyer or its Affiliates from making any filings or disclosures required by Law (including any applicable securities Laws), its bond indentures or the rules of any stock exchange or publicly issuing a press release, in each case, with respect to this Agreement or its contents or the transactions contemplated hereby (the contents of which shall be determined by Buyer and its Affiliates in their sole discretion) or (ii) any party enforcing its rights under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement fails to close or be consummated for any reason, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the provisions thereof shall apply fully to each party and their respective Affiliates.

6.12 Bulk Transfer Laws. The parties hereby waive the requirements of any applicable bulk sales law provisions in jurisdictions in which the Acquired Assets are situated or which may otherwise be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.13 Transfer of Permits. To the extent that any Permits are transferable by the Company to Buyer, the Company as transferor, and Buyer, as transferee, will as soon as practicable on or after

the Closing Date execute and file with the appropriate Governmental Body, application for approval of the transfer of each of such Permits to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. The Company agrees to use its best efforts as soon as practicable after the Closing to assist Buyer, in obtaining all Permits necessary for the operation by Buyer of the business currently conduct by the Company following the Closing Date, including taking all reasonably necessary steps to relinquish the Permits held by the Company.

6.14 Transfer of Bank Accounts. Effective upon the Closing, the Company shall transfer title and ownership of all bank accounts, checking accounts, safe deposit boxes, lockboxes and similar accounts and items to Buyer, and shall cause the authority of all Persons authorized to draw thereon or have access thereto to be revoked and shall cooperate with Buyer to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of attorney or comparable delegation giving such Persons as may be directed in writing by Buyer the authority to draw upon or have access to such accounts and items from and after Closing. To the extent that the Company has left cash in any such transferred bank account for the purpose of satisfying issued but uncleared checks and drafts relating to payroll, bonus or similar employee obligations of the Company that have been taken into account in the calculation of Estimated Cash on Hand, Buyer agrees that it will not sweep such portion of cash from such bank accounts.

8.05 Limitations on Certain Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Basket. The Company and Members shall not have any Liability pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a) (other than with respect to any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $200,000 (the “Basket Amount”), but in the event such Losses exceed the Basket Amount, the Company and Members shall be liable and responsible to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for the full amount of such Losses (subject to Section 8.05(b) and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement), without reduction for the Basket Amount. Buyer shall not have any Liability pursuant to Section 8.04(a) (other than with respect to any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds the Basket Amount, but in the event such Losses exceed the Basket Amount, Buyer shall be liable and responsible to the Seller Indemnified Parties for the full amount of such Losses (subject to Section 8.05(b) and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement), without reduction for the Basket Amount.

(b) Cap. In no event shall the Company’s and Members’ aggregate Liability pursuant to Sections 8.02(a) and 8.03(a) for Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or Buyer’s aggregate Liability pursuant to Section 8.04(a) for Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties, exceed $1,500,000 (the “Cap”).

(c) From and after the Closing (but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII), any indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for which the Company or Members are liable pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 shall first be effected by a payment made from the Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (without regard to the Members’ responsibility for such claims and without regard to the Pro Rata Share), if and to the extent such Escrow Funds are sufficient to satisfy such indemnification obligation. To the extent that the remaining amount of Escrow Funds held in the Escrow Account is insufficient to satisfy any indemnification claim for which the Company or Members are liable pursuant to Section 8.02, then, subject to the limitations of this Article VIII, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification directly from the Company for the full amount of such claim and/or from the Members in accordance with each Member’s Pro Rata Share. To the extent that the remaining amount of Escrow Funds held in the Escrow Account is insufficient to satisfy any indemnification claim for which any Member or Members are liable pursuant to Section 8.03, then, subject to the limitations of this Article VIII, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification directly from the applicable Member or Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be jointly and severally liable for any indemnification obligation of the Members hereunder.

(d) Claims Based on Fraud or Intentional Misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or otherwise to the contrary, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any party’s rights to recover any and all Losses incurred or suffered by it relating to or arising out of or in connection with fraud, intentional misrepresentation or any intentional breach of this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the right to recover such Losses shall survive forever.

8.06 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto in respect of a breach of representation or warranty shall terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 8.01), unless an Indemnified Person shall have made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.07, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, prior to such termination date, as applicable, by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis for any such claim for indemnification, and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) to the Indemnifying Person. If an Indemnified Person has made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.07 prior to such termination date, then such claim, if then unresolved, shall not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 8.01, but shall remain in effect until fully resolved.

8.07 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(h) Claims. As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a claim (or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding) of the type described in Section 8.07(b) or Section 8.10(c), the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Person does not object in writing to such indemnification claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving notice thereof, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover promptly from the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Person the amount of such claim (but such recovery shall not limit the amount of any additional indemnification to which the Indemnified Person may be entitled pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.03, or 8.04), and no later objection by the Indemnifying Person shall be permitted. If within such thirty (30) day period the Indemnifying Person agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but objects that it is obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnified Person shall nevertheless be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Person the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Person’s claim for the difference.

(i) Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim (or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding) by any unaffiliated Person not a party hereto (other than by a Governmental Body with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 8.10(c)) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person may, at its own

expense, (i) participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding and (ii) upon notice to the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person’s delivering to the Indemnified Person a written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 for all Losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding and that the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the entire amount of any Loss resulting therefrom, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, that (a) the Indemnifying Person shall provide written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person demonstrating that the Indemnifying Person has a sufficient amount of financial resources to vigorously defend such matter, (b) the Indemnifying Person’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and (c) the Indemnifying Person shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Person or that could otherwise have an adverse impact on the Buyer, its Affiliates or their businesses. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person. If, however, the Indemnified Person reasonably determines in its judgment that representation by the Indemnifying Person’s counsel of both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Person may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and the Indemnifying Person shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(j) Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in Section 8.07(b) shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, that (i) no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement without its prior written consent and the Indemnifying Person shall demonstrate that it has the financial resources to perform its obligations under any such settlement or compromise, as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Person prior to entry into such settlement or compromise, and (ii) the Indemnified Person shall not compromise or settle any claim, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(k) Failure of Indemnifying Person to Act. In the event that the Indemnifying Person does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, then any failure of the Indemnified Person to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder.

8.08 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any amounts payable under Sections 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 shall be treated by Buyer and the Company as an adjustment to Purchase Price for all applicable financial and Tax purposes.

8.09 Materiality. For purposes of determining the amount of Losses incurred or suffered by an indemnified party for purposes of Section 8.05, the representations and warranties herein shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to materiality and, accordingly, for such purposes, all references therein to “material”, “in all material respects” and similar qualifications as to materiality shall be deemed to be deleted therefrom.

8.10 Tax Matters.

(f) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

(i) The Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns with respect to the Acquired Assets for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Seller Tax Returns”). All such Seller Tax Returns shall be in a manner consistent with past practice except as required by applicable Law.

(ii) Buyer, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and Members, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to any Straddle Period (“Buyer Returns”). Each such Buyer Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer shall submit each such Buyer Return to the Seller Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Buyer Return (taking into account any extensions), and the Seller Representative shall have the right to review and comment on such Buyer Returns, and Buyer shall consider in good faith such reasonable comments to the Buyer Returns as are provided in writing by Seller Representative to Buyer within ten (10) days of receipt of such Buyer Return.

(iii) Buyer and the Company agree to furnish, or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and at the expense of the requesting party such information (including access to books and records related to the Acquired Assets) related to the Acquired Assets as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, the preparation for any Tax audit or the prosecution or defense of any claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding by or before any Governmental Body related to any proposed Tax adjustment related to the Acquired Assets. Buyer and the Company shall keep all such information and documents received by them confidential unless otherwise required by Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not have any obligation to provide or furnish to the Company any consolidated, combined or unitary group Tax Return or portion thereof (including any work papers or related documentation) of Buyer or its Affiliates.

(g) Transfer Taxes. The Company shall bear any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes. The Company shall file any returns with respect to any Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller Representative in the filing of any returns with respect

to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably requested by the Seller Representative and necessary to complete such returns.

(h) Tax Proceedings. After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller Representative in writing of the proposed assessment or the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim on Buyer with respect to the Acquired Assets (“Tax Proceeding”), notice of which is received by Buyer and that, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time, could reasonably be expected to be grounds for payment of Taxes by the Company under this Agreement. After the Closing, Seller Representative shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of any Tax Proceeding relating to the Company or Acquired Assets, notice of which is received by the Company or Seller Representative. Notices required to be given by or to Buyer or Seller Representative shall contain factual information (to the extent known to the Members, the Company, Seller Representative or Buyer, as the case may be) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Governmental Body in respect of any such asserted Tax liability. In the case of a Tax Proceeding that relates solely to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, but excluding any Straddle Periods, Seller Representative shall direct and control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding, provided Buyer shall have the right to participate (at Buyer’s own expense) in any such Tax Proceeding. Buyer’s right to participate shall include, but shall not be limited to, the right to receive copies of all correspondence from any Governmental Body relating to such Tax Proceeding, attend meetings and review and comment on submissions relating to any Tax Proceeding, and Seller Representative shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by Buyer. In the case of a Tax Proceeding that relates to any Straddle Periods, Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding, provided Seller Representative shall have the right to participate (at the Company’s and Members’ expense) in any such Tax Proceeding involving any asserted Tax Liability for such Straddle Period with respect to which payment may be sought from the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Seller Representative’s right to participate shall include, but shall not be limited to, the right to receive copies of all correspondence from any Governmental Body relating to such Tax Proceeding, attend meetings and review and comment on submissions relating to any Tax Proceeding, and Buyer shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by Seller Representative.

(i) Taxes for any Straddle Period attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be calculated as though the relevant taxable period terminated as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the case of a Tax not based on income, receipts, proceeds, profits, payroll or expenditures or similar items, the amount of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of Tax for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the total number of days from the beginning of the Straddle Period through the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period. All Tax Returns for Straddle Period Taxes shall be prepared, and all determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made, in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company unless otherwise required by Law.

8.11 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such requesting party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver,

or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as the requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including to vest fully Buyer with title to the Acquired Assets.

8.12 Seller Representative.

(f) Appointment.
