The Closing Equity Value reflected on the Closing Equity Value Schedule as agreed to by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be referred to as the “Estimated Closing Equity Value” and shall include the Estimated Tax Distribution Adjustment.

Section 2.07 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a)Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule (excluding the calculation of the full Tax Distribution Adjustment, which shall be finally determined in accordance with Section 6.06), which shall be prepared in good faith and in accordance with the Closing Equity Value Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.03. In preparing the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule, the Closing Equity Value shall be determined based on the actual Working Capital as of the Closing Equity Value Date (“Actual April 30th Working Capital”) compared to the Working Capital as of the Closing Equity Value Date set forth in the Modified April 30th Financials (“Modified April 30th Working Capital”). Such comparisons between the Actual April 30th Working Capital (which shall be the basis for the Working Capital Leakage Impact shown on the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule) and the Modified April 30th Working Capital (which shall be the basis for the Working Capital Leakage Impact shown on the Estimated Closing Equity Value Schedule paid pursuant to Section 2.04(a)) shall (i) compare the adjustment amounts set forth on the “Supplemental Schedule of the financial effects of non-GAAP disclosures on the April 30th Financials” excel file attached to Schedule 3.09(a)(2) with the actual adjustment amounts for such same items through the Closing Equity Value Date; and (ii) include all adjustments (up and down) between the two Working Capital amounts. Working Capital Leakage Impacts referred to in Section 2.07(d)(i) and (ii) shall be calculated after taking into account all adjustments (up and down) between the Actual April 30th Working Capital and the Modified April 30th Working Capital.

(b)Following its receipt from Purchaser of the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule, Sellers’ Representative shall have forty-five (45) days to review the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule (and Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, until the final determination of the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule, to (i) examine all accounting records, work papers and financial records used or generated in connection with the preparation of the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule as may be reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative and such other documents as Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request in connection with its review of the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule and (ii) have access during normal business hours on advance notice to all facilities and all employees, agents and professional advisors of Purchaser and the Acquired Company Entities as Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request

in connection with its review of the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule) and to inform Purchaser in writing of any disagreement that it may have with the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule, which objection shall, to the extent practicable, specify in reasonable detail Sellers’ Representative’s disagreement with the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule and shall in any case include Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of any disputed items, to the extent practicable (the “Objection”). If Purchaser does not receive the Objection within such forty-five (45) day period, the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule and the amount of the Closing Equity Value set forth on the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule shall be deemed to have been accepted by Sellers’ Representative and shall become binding upon Sellers, and the calculation of the Closing Equity Value on the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule shall be the Final Closing Equity Value. If Sellers’ Representative timely delivers an Objection to Purchaser, Purchaser shall then have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of such Objection (the “Review Period”) to review and respond to the Objection in writing (and Purchaser shall have the right to examine the work papers and financial records used or generated in connection with the preparation of the Objection and such other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Objection); provided, however, that Purchaser’s response to any Objection shall be limited to those specific disagreements listed in the Objection. Furthermore, Purchaser may not in its response to the Objection change its calculation of any line item or component of Closing Equity Value shown in Purchaser’s draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule that would, taken on an individual basis, have the result of reducing the Final Closing Equity Value, below the amounts thereof indicated in Purchaser’s draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule previously delivered to Sellers’ Representative. If Sellers’ Representative does not receive a written response from Purchaser within such ten (10) day period, the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule and the amount of the Closing Equity Value set forth in the Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by Purchaser and shall become binding upon Purchaser, and the calculation of the Closing Equity Value contained in the Objection shall be the Final Closing Equity Value. If Purchaser does timely deliver a written response within such ten (10) day period, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements with respect to the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule and the determination of the Closing Equity Value. If they are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule and/or the determination of the Final Closing Equity Value within twenty (20) days following the expiration of Purchaser’s Review Period, Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall promptly (not later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period following the expiration of Purchaser’s Review Period) refer the dispute to the CPA Firm, which shall resolve such disagreements based solely on written presentations by Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser, which are in accordance with the terms and procedures and the definitions of this Agreement, and not by independent review. The written presentations provided by each of Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall be limited such that neither party may change its calculations of any line item or component of Closing Equity Value from the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule, in the case of Purchaser, and the Objection, in the case of Sellers’ Representative, if such change, taken on an individual basis, would have the result of reducing, in the case of Purchaser, or increasing, in the case of Seller, the calculation of Closing Equity Value set out in the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule or Objection, as applicable. Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall direct the CPA Firm to use its reasonable best efforts to render its determination within thirty (30) days after the dispute is first submitted to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Sellers. Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records relating to the draft Final Closing Equity Value Schedule or Objection and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm. Neither Sellers’ Representative nor Purchaser shall have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the CPA Firm without the other party either being present or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. Nothing in this Section 2.07(b) shall be construed to authorize or permit the CPA Firm to resolve any differences between Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative other than those unresolved disagreements listed in the Objection, and the CPA Firm shall not be authorized or permitted to do so. The scope of the disputed items to be resolved by the CPA Firm shall be limited to

whether the draft Final Closing Equity Value was prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In resolving any disagreements, the CPA Firm shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.07 and may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party in its written presentation or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party in its written presentation. The Closing Equity Value as agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative or as determined by the CPA Firm, as applicable, shall be the “Final Closing Equity Value.” The Final Closing Equity Value Schedule as agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative or as determined by the CPA Firm, as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Final Closing Equity Value Schedule.”

(c)If any unresolved objections are submitted to the CPA Firm for resolution as provided above, the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers), on the other hand, based upon the relationship the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if Purchaser claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Sellers’ Representative, and if the CPA Firm ultimately resolves such claim by awarding to Purchaser $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the CPA Firm will be allocated 70% to Purchaser and 30% to Sellers.

(d)Upon the final determination of the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule (excluding the determination of the full Tax Distribution Adjustment, which shall be finally determined in accordance with Section 6.06),

(i)if (x) the Working Capital Leakage Impact shown on the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule is greater than (y) the Working Capital Leakage Impact reflected in the Estimated Closing Equity Value paid pursuant to Section 2.04(a) by an amount greater than $250,000 in the aggregate, then an amount in cash equal to the full amount of the excess of (x) over (y) shall be payable by Sellers to Purchaser and taken into account for purposes of clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.07(d),

(ii)if (x) the Working Capital Leakage Impact shown on the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule is less than (y) the Working Capital Leakage Impact reflected in the Estimated Closing Equity Value paid pursuant to Section 2.04(a) by an amount greater than $250,000 in the aggregate, then an amount in cash equal to the full amount of the excess of (x) over (y) shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers and taken into account for purposes of clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.07(d),

(iii)if, after applying clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.07(d), the Final Closing Equity Value on the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule is greater than the Estimated Closing Equity Value paid pursuant to Section 2.04(a), then an amount in cash equal to such excess (other than any amounts attributable to the Working Capital Leakage Impact) shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers in accordance with Section 2.07(e); and

(iv)if, after application of clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.07(d), the Final Closing Equity Value on the Final Closing Equity Value Schedule is less than the Estimated Closing Equity Value paid pursuant to Section 2.04(a), then an amount in cash equal to such shortfall (other than any amounts attributable to the Working Capital Leakage Impact) shall be payable by Sellers to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.07(e).

Section 6.02 Covenants Regarding Information. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice and subject to the approval of the President or Chief Financial Officer of William Charles Construction Company, LLC (“WCC”), the Acquired Company Entities shall afford Purchaser and its authorized agents, financing sources, officers and representatives reasonable access to the representatives, properties, offices, plants and other facilities, contracts, documents, insurance policies, books and records of the Acquired Company Entities, and shall furnish Purchaser with such financial, operating and other data and information as Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at Purchaser’s risk and expense, during normal business hours, with reasonable advance notice to and under the supervision and coordination of the President or Chief Financial Officer of WCC and in such a manner as not unreasonably to interfere with the normal operations of the Acquired Company Entities and in no event shall access or furnishing information and data involve the performance of subsurface or other intrusive testing; provided, further, that, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective employees, counsel, accountants, consultants, financing sources and their respective representatives, shall contact any Governmental Authority, employee, supplier, distributor or customer of the Acquired Company Entities for the purpose of discussing the Acquired Company Entities or any aspect of their respective businesses or Sellers, this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, nothing herein shall limit Purchaser’s disclosure obligations under Section 4 of the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser and its authorized agents, officers and representatives shall not be permitted or entitled to examine any materials relating to the Acquired Company Entities without the Sellers’ Representatives’ prior written consent, when in the good faith judgment of the Sellers’ Representative, (a) such materials may be protected by the attorney-client privilege, (b) such examination could contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof, or (c) such examination could jeopardize the Acquired Company Entities relationships with their respective regulators, customers, suppliers and other applicable third parties; provided, however, that (i) Sellers’ Representative shall inform Purchaser if it is withholding any information pursuant to this sentence and describe the information being so withheld and (ii) if requested by Purchaser, Sellers’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide extracts or summaries of such protected information in clauses (a) and (b) above or otherwise provide such protected information in a manner that would not jeopardize the applicable protection.

and due diligence shall not trigger Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under this Section 6.02. All investigations and due diligence conducted by Purchaser or any of its representatives shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost, risk and expense.

Section 6.03 Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Sellers shall not (and Sellers shall cause the Acquired Company Entities and their respective officers, directors, representatives or Affiliates not to) directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage the submission of any inquiry, proposal or offer from any third party relating to any direct or indirect, merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition of any equity interests in, or all or substantially all of the assets (other than for sales of assets in the Ordinary Course of Business) of, the Acquired Company Entities (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation or exchange) (any such proposal or offer, an “Acquisition Proposal”), (ii) engage, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or cause to furnish any information with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement with any third party relating to any Acquisition Proposal or (v) resolve to propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Until the Closing, each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the other party’s conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement becoming incapable of being satisfied; provided, however, for any Party that is a Seller or any Acquired Company, such Party shall be deemed “aware” if such facts, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence is to the Knowledge of the Acquired Companies.

Section 6.05 Transfer Taxes. All sales and transfer taxes, recording charges and similar taxes, fees or charges imposed as a result of the Transactions (including, except as provided otherwise pursuant to Schedule B(1) with respect to the transfer of any Retained Assets, for the avoidance of doubt, the Reorganization) (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), together with any interest, penalties or additions to such Transfer Taxes, shall be borne by Purchaser. Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of all applicable Laws in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes, and shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the fullest extent possible under such Laws, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes payable in connection herewith.

Section 6.06 Tax Matters.

(a)Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing or similar agreements with respect to or involving any Acquired Company Entities, shall be terminated, prior to the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, the Acquired Company Entities shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(b)Cooperation on Tax Matters. Each Party shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party (at the requesting Party’s expense), in connection with the preparation

and filing of any Tax Return and any Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request (at the requesting Party’s expense), the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Action or any tax planning and shall also include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each Party further agrees, upon request, to use its best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including any Transfer Taxes). Each of Purchaser and Sellers agree (i) to retain all books and records in its possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Company Entities until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any Party, any extension thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority and (ii) to give the Acquired Companies reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records, and, if any other Party so requests, Sellers shall allow the Acquired Companies to take possession of such books and records.

(c)Preparation of Pass-Through Tax Returns. Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and Purchaser shall file, or cause to be filed, all Pass-Through Tax Returns relating exclusively to a period through the Closing Date the due dates of which are after the Closing Date. Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a draft of all Pass-Through Tax Returns relating exclusively to a period through the Closing Date including the calculation of the Tax Distribution Adjustment. All such Pass-Through Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the past customs, practices and accounting methods of the Acquired Company Entities, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of any such income Pass-Through Tax Return and Tax Distribution Adjustment, Purchaser shall provide any written disagreements to such Pass-Through Tax Return and Tax Distribution Adjustment (the “Tax Return Objection”), which Sellers’ Representative shall consider in good faith. Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall have the right, until the final determination of such Pass-Through Tax Returns and Tax Distribution Adjustment, to (i) examine all accounting records, work papers and financial records needed to generate, prepare and review the Pass-Through Tax Returns and Tax Distribution Adjustment as may be reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser and such other documents as Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with its preparation and review of the Pass-Through Tax Returns and Tax Distribution Adjustment and (ii) have access during normal business hours on advance notice to all facilities and all employees, agents and professional advisors of Sellers and the Acquired Company Entities as Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with its preparation and review of the Pass-Through Tax Returns and Tax Distribution Adjustment. If Sellers’ Representative does not receive from Purchaser the Tax Return Objection within such fifteen (15) day period, the Pass-Through Tax Return and Tax Distribution Adjustment shall be deemed to have been accepted by Purchaser and shall become binding upon Purchaser, Sellers, and the Acquired Company Entities. If Purchaser timely delivers a Tax Return Objection to Sellers’ Representative, Sellers’ Representative shall then have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of such Tax Return Objection (the “Review Period”) to review and respond to the Tax Return Objection in writing and Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to examine the work papers and financial records used or generated by Purchaser in connection with the preparation of the Tax Return Objection and such other documents as Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Tax Return Objection, provided, if the Parties cannot agree or otherwise resolve any disputed items in connection with such Pass-Through Tax Return and Tax Distribution Adjustment on or before fifteen (15) Business Days after the expiration of the Review Period (the “Resolution Period”), then, within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Resolution Period, such disputed items shall be referred to the CPA Firm for resolution within fifteen (15) days following such referral in the form of a written determination. Such written determination shall be binding on Sellers, Purchaser and the Acquired Company Entities, and Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Acquired Company Entities to, file such income Pass-Through Tax Return in a manner consistent with such determination and shall not amend or cause such income Pass-Through Tax Return to

be amended without the consent of Sellers’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Sellers shall pay or reimburse Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities for, as applicable, all Taxes related to a Pass-Through Tax Return imposed on the Acquired Company Entities in respect of any period through the Closing Date, and all income Taxes imposed on the Acquired Company Entities in respect of any period through the Closing Equity Value Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing shall require Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities to wait to file a Pass-Through Tax Return until after its due date (taking into account any applicable extensions).

(d)CPA Firm. If any unresolved objections are submitted to the CPA Firm for resolution as provided above, the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers), on the other hand, based upon the relationship the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, if Purchaser claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Sellers’ Representative, and if the CPA Firm ultimately resolves such claim by awarding to Purchaser $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the CPA Firm will be allocated 70% to Purchaser and 30% to Sellers’ Representative.

(e)Final Tax Distribution Adjustment. Upon the final determination of the Tax Distribution Adjustment pursuant to Section 6.06(c), (i) if the final Tax Distribution Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Tax Distribution Adjustment, then an amount in cash equal to such excess shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers’ Representative in accordance with Section 6.06(f), and (ii) if the final Tax Distribution Adjustment is less than the Estimated Tax Distribution Adjustment, then an amount in cash equal to such shortfall shall be payable by Sellers’ Representative to Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.06(f).

(f)Payment of Tax Distribution Adjustment Difference. For purposes of the payment of the items set forth in Section 6.06(e), (i) if Purchaser is required to make a payment to Sellers pursuant to Section 6.06(e), then Purchaser shall, within two (2) Business Days after the final Tax Distribution Adjustment becomes final and binding in accordance with the terms hereof, make payment to Sellers’ Representative (for distribution to Sellers) of such amount, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Sellers’ Representative in writing and (ii) if Sellers are required to make payment to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.06(e), then Sellers’ Representative shall, within two (2) Business Days after the final Tax Distribution Adjustment becomes final and binding in accordance with the terms hereof, make payment to Purchaser of such amount, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser in writing. Any payments due under this Section 6.06(f) shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the “prime rate” adjusted on a daily basis as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Section 6.06 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, there is no general agreement among the Parties to submit disputes under this Agreement to arbitration, and the CPA Firm will act as an independent expert and not an arbitrator.

(g)Allocation of Tax Liability for Straddle Periods. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Equity Value Date, (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, payments, gross or net sales, use or payroll of an Acquired Company Entity for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Equity Value Date (and, for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership, other pass-through entity, or controlled foreign corporation in which an Acquired Company Entity holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and the amount of other Taxes of an Acquired Company Entity for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Equity Value Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(h)Section 338(h)(10) Elections. At Purchaser’s option, upon written notice to Sellers’ Representative, each of the applicable Sellers will join Purchaser in making elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and any similar provision under any applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to Purchaser’s acquisition of Structors, Inc. Purchaser and Sellers shall also reasonably cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate, including filing such additional forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required, such as IRS Form 8023, (collectively, the “Section 338 Forms”), to effect and preserve the Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with the provisions of Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision under any applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law) or any successor provisions, and the Parties shall prepare all Tax books, records and filings in a manner consistent with such treatment and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith. Purchaser and Sellers shall duly and timely file the Section 338 Forms as prescribed by Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 of the Treasury Regulations or the corresponding provisions of applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law.

(i)Purchase Price Allocation. Attached as Schedule 6.06(g) is an allocation of the Closing Equity Value, as adjusted (including all other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes), among (i) the assets of the Acquired Companies that are treated as either partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or for which the Section 338(h)(10) Election was made pursuant to Section 6.06(h), and (ii) the stock or other equity interests of the Acquired Companies not described in clause (i) above, in each case, in accordance with Sections 338, 751 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision under applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law) (the “Allocation Statement”). Neither Purchaser nor any Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation Statement (including, but not limited to, filing IRS Forms 8594), except as required by applicable Law; provided, however, that neither of the Parties (nor any of their Affiliates) shall be required to litigate before any court or defend in any administrative proceeding (including any tax audit or examination) any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any taxing authority challenging any tax position in connection with such Allocation Statement.

Post-Closing Actions. Without Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), Purchaser will not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Company Entities) to take any of the following actions with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Company Entities to the extent such action may have a material impact on the amount of income Taxes imposed directly upon Sellers or their owners by operation of law: (a) amend, re-file, or supplement any previously filed Tax Return of the Acquired Company Entities, (b) change any material Tax election with respect to the Acquired Company Entities, (c) extend or waive any statute of limitations with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Company Entities, (d) settle, compromise or otherwise resolve any audit, investigation, claim or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Company Entities, (e) take any action relating to Taxes or that could create a Tax liability on the Closing Date that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business other than such actions contemplated by this Agreement, (f) initiate discussions or examinations with a Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes or make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes of the Acquired Company Entities, or (g) voluntarily approach any Governmental Authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Company Entities.

Section 6.07 Confidentiality.

(a)From and after the Closing, each Seller hereby agrees that it shall, and it shall cause each of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries and representatives to, not use or disclose and to treat and hold as confidential all confidential, non-public or proprietary information, observations, materials and data regarding the Acquired Company Entities (“Confidential Information”) and, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information and, upon the request of Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities, deliver promptly to Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities, as

applicable, or destroy all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession or under its control; provided that, each Seller shall be (i) allowed to disclose that portion of Confidential Information as may be necessary to any of such Seller’s auditors, attorneys, financing sources, potential investors or other agents; and (ii) provided with reasonable access to books and records of the Acquired Company Entities, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or for the purpose of complying with any Tax or regulatory requirements or governmental proceeding or request, and Purchaser shall retain such books and records for a period consistent with Purchaser’s record retention policies and practices; provided, further, that the recipient is informed of the confidential nature of such information and has agreed, or is otherwise obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the disclosed material. In the event that any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or representatives is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person shall notify Purchaser and the Acquired Company Entities promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.07(a). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or representatives is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal, it may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided that it shall use its best efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities, as applicable, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities, as applicable, shall designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include (i) information which is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or representatives in violation of this Agreement or any other confidentiality obligation to which any of them is bound, (ii) was available to such Seller on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Seller by Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities, (iii) becomes available to such Seller on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Purchaser or any Acquired Company Entities, provided that such source is not known by such Seller, after reasonable inquiry, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with Purchaser or any Acquired Company Entities and is not known by such Seller, after reasonable inquiry, to be otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to such Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or representatives by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, or (iv) is developed by such Seller or any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or representatives without use of or reference to any Confidential Information.

(b)Each of the Parties shall hold, and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all documents and information furnished to it by or on behalf of any other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of the Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2018, as amended as of June 22, 2018, by and between William Charles Construction Company, LLC and Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing Date, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of the parties under this Section 6.07(b) shall terminate; provided that nothing in this Section 6.07(b) shall prohibit Parent from making any public announcement or SEC Filing permitted by Section 6.13. If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing Date, the term of the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically be extended to end on the two (2) year anniversary of the date of such termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.08 Non-Competition. During the period from the Closing Date to and including the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each of Howard and each Seller set forth on Exhibit G hereby agrees that he, she or it shall not, and shall cause his, her or its Affiliates and representatives not

to, directly or indirectly through another Person, own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as an owner, operator, manager, consultant, investor, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for or otherwise engage in any business or entity which directly or indirectly competes with the businesses of the Acquired Company Entities as currently conducted as of the date hereof throughout North America. Nothing herein shall prohibit such Sellers or their Affiliates or representatives from (i) being a passive owner of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any corporation which stock is publicly traded, so long as such Seller and his, her or its Affiliates and representatives have no active participation in the business of such corporation, (ii) owning mutual fund or similar investments which stock is publicly traded and which mutual fund or similar investment invests in businesses that compete with the Acquired Companies, and (iii) owning and operating the Farm Quarry; provided however, that in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser or the Acquired Companies shall be offered the right to use the Farm Quarry if, at any time and from time to time, such Sellers receive and intend to accept a verifiable offer from a business that competes with the Acquired Companies to purchase, lease or use the Farm Quarry.

Section 6.09 Non-Solicitation. During the period from the Closing Date to and including the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), each Seller hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall cause such Seller’s Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through another Person, (i) induce or attempt to induce any senior management employee or consultant of any Acquired Company Entity to leave the employ or services of such Acquired Company Entity, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any Acquired Company Entity and any of its senior management employees or consultants; (ii) solicit for employment or hire or otherwise retain any senior management employee of such Acquired Company Entity (a solicitation will not be regarded as having been made in violation of this paragraph if the solicitation involved only general solicitation of employment not specifically directed toward personnel employed by Purchaser or an Acquired Company, but such Seller will nonetheless not be entitled to hire any senior management employee which responds to such general solicitation); or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, lessor or other business relation of any Acquired Company Entity, or any prospective customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, lessor or other business relation with which any Acquired Company Entity has entertained discussions regarding a prospective business relationship, to cease or refrain from doing business with such Acquired Company Entity, or in any way interfere with the relationship (or prospective relationship) between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation and such Acquired Company Entity, including making any negative or disparaging statements or communications about any Acquired Company Entity, Purchaser or their Affiliates. During the Non-Solicitation Period, Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall cause such Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and the Acquired Company Entities not to (i) induce or attempt to induce any senior management employee or consultant of any Seller to leave the employ or services of such Seller, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any Seller and any of its senior management employees or consultants; or (ii) solicit for employment or hire or otherwise retain any senior management employee of any Seller (a solicitation will not be regarded as having been made in violation of this paragraph if the solicitation involved only general solicitation of employment not specifically directed toward personnel employed by a Seller, but Purchaser will nonetheless not be entitled to hire any senior management employee which responds to such general solicitation).

Section 6.10 Additional Acknowledgements. Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a)Such Seller owns a direct or indirect interest in the Acquired Company Entities, and accordingly, has acquired confidential and proprietary information relating to the business and operations of the Acquired Company Entities (including without limitation Confidential Information).

(b)At the Closing, such Seller shall directly or indirectly receive valuable consideration for all of such Seller’s ownership interest in the Acquired Company Entities, and therefore has a material economic interest in the consummation of the Transactions.

(c)Each Seller agrees that the non-disclosure, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable with respect to period, geographical area and scope and are each essential parts of the Transactions in order to protect Purchaser’s legitimate interests in the acquisition of the Acquired Company Entities’ business and assets (including the goodwill related to the business and operations of the Acquired Company Entities).

Section 6.11 Release.

(a)From and after the Closing, each Seller, Purchaser, and the Acquired Company Entities, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates, hereby release and forever discharge each of Purchaser, Sellers and the Acquired Company Entities and each of their respective Affiliates, and any individual, joint or mutual, past, present and future representatives, agents, financial advisors, attorneys, other consultants, employees, officers, directors, managers, stockholders, partners, members, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (individually, a “Releasee” and, collectively, “Releasees”), from any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which such Seller, Purchaser, Acquired Company Entities or any of such Seller’s, Purchaser’s, and Acquired Company Entities’ respective Affiliates, or any of their respective heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, now has, has ever had, or may hereafter have against any Releasee arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release (i) any obligations of Sellers, Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document executed and delivered to Sellers, Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities by such other Party at the Closing in connection with the Transactions, or (ii) any Claims for fraud, willful misconduct or criminal acts that Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities may have against any Seller in his or her capacity as a director, officer or manager of the Acquired Company Entities. Each Seller, Purchaser, and the Acquired Company Entities represent that they have not made any assignment or transfer of any Claim or other matter covered by this paragraph. Each Seller, Purchaser, and Acquired Company Entities hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Claim, or commencing, instituting, or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter released hereby.

(b)Each Seller, Purchaser, and Acquired Company Entities hereby acknowledge and intend that this release shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. Each Seller, Purchaser, and Acquired Company Entities expressly consents that this release shall be given full force and effect in accordance with each and every express term or provision, including those (i) relating to any Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied or (ii) relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims).

Section 6.12 Consents and Filings; Further Assurances.

(a)Each of the Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions, in each case, in accordance with such Party’s respective obligations hereunder, including any other standard herein that expressly applies to such Party’s obligations hereunder, as promptly as reasonably practicable, including to obtain from Governmental Authorities all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders as are necessary for the consummation of the Transactions, except for the failure to obtain any such consent, approval, authorization, qualifications and orders described in this sentence which would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Acquired Company Entities taken as a whole or materially impair the Acquired Company

Entities’ ability to consummate the Transaction. Purchaser shall pay the filing fees associated with all filings under the HSR Act made in connection with the Transactions. Any such notification and report form and supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the HSR Act.

(b)Each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing by the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to sell or dispose of or hold separately (through a trust or otherwise) any assets or businesses or interests in any assets or business or any of them, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliates of the foregoing or make any other change in any portion of the business of the Acquired Companies or incur any other limitation on the conduct of the business of the Acquired Companies to obtain such clearances, consents, authorizations, orders, approvals and exemptions or agree to do, or submit to orders providing for, any of the foregoing, in each case whether before or after the Closing.

(c)Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the other Parties of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority, subject to applicable Law, relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority. No Party shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, subject to applicable Law, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and applicable Law, the Parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and applicable Law, the Parties will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions.

(d)Without limiting any covenant contained in this Article VI, each of the Parties, and each Acquired Company shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and approvals of third parties and Government Authorities that are triggered by such Party’s obligation to consummate the Transactions (provided that such consents and approvals will not be a condition to Closing), and (ii) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as another Party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of the other Party under Article VII.

(e)From and after the Closing, in the event any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, or if Purchaser reasonably requests the delivery of any documents related to this Agreement, the Parties and, as applicable, the officers, directors, managers or members of each Party, shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or any Acquired Company to achieve such intent at Purchaser’s expense.

(f)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that certain consents, authorizations and approvals to the Transactions may be required from parties to Material Contracts to which the Acquired Company Entities are a party and such consents, authorizations and approvals may not be obtained. The failure of the Acquired Company Entities to obtain any such consent, authorization or approval shall not delay or prevent the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, unless required by Section 7.03, Purchaser agrees that (x) neither Sellers, the Acquired Company Entities, nor any of their respective Affiliates or representatives shall have any liability whatsoever to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents, authorizations or approvals that may have been or may be required in connection with the Transactions or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any such contract, lease, license or other agreement as a result thereof and (y) no representation or warranty of Sellers or the Acquired Company Entities contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached as a result of the failure to obtain any consent,

authorization or approval or as a result of any lawsuit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent, authorization or approval or any such default, acceleration or termination.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall not acquire, or agree to acquire, by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in or otherwise making any investment in, or by any other manner (including through any joint ventures, partnerships or other arrangements), any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire or make any investment in any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or investment could reasonably be expected to delay the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates will be required to make payments, commence litigation or agree to modifications of the terms and conditions of any agreements with third parties.

Section 6.13 Press Releases. From and after the date hereof and through the Closing Date, the Parties agree that no press release or other public announcement (including in any trade journal or other publication) of or related to the Transactions shall be made without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative. Following the Closing, no Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause such Seller’s Affiliates and representatives not to, issue any press release or other public statement regarding this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior approval of Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Purchaser and its Affiliates may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement in connection with such Person’s normal fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities to existing or potential limited partners of such Person (so long as such recipients agree to, or are bound by contract or professional or fiduciary obligations to, keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and so long as Purchaser shall be responsible to the other Parties for breach of this Section 6.13 or such confidentiality obligations by the recipients of its disclosure); and (ii) Parent shall file a Form 8-K as promptly as practicable containing this Agreement and shall be permitted to file on Form 8-K the Deal Financial Statements and, when available, the S-X Compliant Financial Statements and the Most Recent Interim Financial Statements. Purchaser shall promptly, upon request from Sellers’ Representative, reimburse Sellers for all documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates in connection with the preparation of the S-X Compliant Financial Statements and the Most Recent Interim Financial Statements. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, except as required by Law (including SEC disclosure requirements), Purchaser agrees that no employees of the Acquired Company Entities shall have their 2018 compensation reported in any SEC filings of the Parent.

Section 6.14 Financing Cooperation.

(a)Prior to the Closing, each Seller and each Acquired Company shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the appropriate representatives (including senior management) of each Acquired Company to, use reasonable best efforts to provide such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Purchaser upon reasonable prior notice in connection with the arrangement of debt financing for the Transactions (the “Debt Financing”), in each case at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, including to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser: (i) reasonably assisting Purchaser in the preparation of definitive financing documents, and other materials reasonably and customarily requested to be used in connection with obtaining the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to cooperate in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in any definitive documentation relating the Debt Financing, provided that such conditions precedent do not impose on any Sellers or Acquired Company Entities any obligations not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, (ii) delivering possessory collateral (such as certificated equity and promissory notes) within its possession to the Debt Financing Sources, subject to the occurrence of the Closing; provided, however, that the delivery of any collateral shall be delivered in escrow pending release

Sellers hereby consent to the reasonable use of the Acquired Companies’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Acquired Company Entities or the reputation or goodwill of the Acquired Company Entities or their respective trademarks, products, services, offerings or Intellectual Property rights.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement are not subject to any condition or contingency relating to the ability of the Purchaser to obtain financing and neither the Acquired Company Entities nor any officer, employee, representative, or agents of any of the Acquired Company Entities, shall be required to (i) provide or prepare, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for (with the assistance and cooperation of the Acquired Companies in a manner consistent with Section 6.14(a) and Section 6.21), the preparation of pro forma financial information, including pro forma costs savings, synergies, capitalization or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financing information, (ii) pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing or be required to take any action for which it would not be indemnified hereunder, to bear any cost or expense or make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the Closing Date, (iii) approve any document or other matter related to the financing or incur any liability of any kind (or cause their representatives to incur any liability of any kind) prior to the Closing, (iv) enter into any agreement or commitment in connection with the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) which would be effective prior to the Closing or provide any certification or opinion of the Acquired Companies which would be effective prior to the Closing, (v) take any action that would (A) unreasonably interfere with the day-to-day operations of the Acquired Company Entities, (B) cause any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or any other agreements, instruments and documents delivered at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement to be breached, (C) cause the Acquired Company Entities, any of their Affiliates or any director, manager, officer or employee of the Acquired Company Entities or their Affiliates to incur any personal liability, (D) conflict with the organizational documents of the Acquired Company Entities or any Law, (E) change any fiscal period, or (F) authorize any corporate action effective prior to the Closing; (vi) provide any certifications prior to the Closing Date, or any existing audited or unaudited financial statements for the Acquired Company Entities other than the Financial Statements and, subject to Section 6.21, the S-X Compliant Financial Statements and the Most Recent Interim Financial Statements; or (vii) interfere with any major project bidding.

Purchaser (i) shall promptly, upon request by Sellers’ Representative, reimburse Sellers’ Representative, any Sellers or their applicable Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sellers’ Representative, any Seller, any of their Affiliates or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents in connection with the cooperation of any of them as contemplated by this Section 6.14 and (ii) shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers’ Representative, Sellers, their Affiliates and their respective directors,

managers, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents from and against any and all actual losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.14 (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 6.14) and any information used in connection therewith (other than historical information related to Sellers or the Acquired Company Entities provided by or on behalf of Sellers’ Representative, Sellers, or the Acquired Company Entities in writing specifically for use in connection with the Debt Financing offering documents), in each case, except for any losses (x) resulting from Actual Fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation on the part of Sellers or the Acquired Companies or any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents thereof or (y) resulting from any material inaccuracy in the Financial Statements.

Section 6.15 Employee and Employee Benefit Plan Matters.

(a)After the Closing Date and before March 31, 2019, Purchaser shall provide the employees of the Acquired Company Entities who remain employees of the Acquired Company Entities immediately following the Closing (the “Current Employees”) with an annual cash bonus for calendar year 2018 which is substantially equivalent to the annual cash bonus that each such employee would reasonably have expected to receive for that year under the annual bonus practices of the Acquired Companies assuming the relevant performance metrics set forth on Schedule 6.15(a) are met (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge there is no accrual being made by the Acquired Company Entities during the period prior to the Closing Date for such bonuses). Except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement, during the period commencing after the Closing Date and ending on the six (6) month anniversary following the Closing (or if earlier, until the termination of employment of the relevant employee), Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause the Acquired Company Entities to use their commercially reasonable efforts, to provide the non-unionized Current Employees with: (i) base salary and annual cash incentive compensation opportunities (including bonuses for calendar year 2018), which are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the aggregate base salary and annual incentive compensation opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser, and (ii) retirement (401(k) plan) and welfare benefits and perquisites (excluding equity and equity based, defined benefit pension, nonqualified or deferred compensation, and retiree welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those (excluding defined benefit pension, nonqualified or deferred compensation, equity or equity-based, and retiree welfare benefits) provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Sellers or one of their Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity) shall be solely responsible for the provision of long-term disability benefits incurred with respect to any employees of the Acquired Company Entities who as of the Closing are or are eligible to be on long-term disability benefits (including any such employees who have experienced a disabling event prior to or as of the Closing, but have not yet satisfied the applicable elimination period) for purposes of the relevant Employee Benefit Plan providing long-term disability benefits (the “Inactive Employees”), unless or until such Inactive Employee returns to active employment with Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities; provided that Sellers or one of their Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity) shall use their best efforts to maintain each such Inactive Employee’s eligibility for benefits under the relevant Employee Benefit Plan providing long-term disability benefits should the Inactive Employee return to active employment with Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities and subsequently return to inactive or reduced hours work status due to the same previously covered disability before becoming eligible for benefits for that disability under the relevant plan of Purchaser providing long-term disability benefits.

(b)As of the Closing Date, except as otherwise provided in the Transition Services Agreement, Section 6.15(a) or under applicable Law or the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan, Sellers shall take or cause to be taken all actions as are necessary or appropriate to cause: (i) each Acquired Company Entity to cease participating in all Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit or compensation plans,

program, policies, contracts, arrangements or agreements (except any Multiemployer Plan) in which Current Employees participate, and (ii) each Current Employee and any dependents or beneficiaries thereof to cease participation and coverage in any Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit or compensation plans, program, policies, contracts, arrangements or agreements sponsored, maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed to by Sellers or any of its Affiliates (including an Acquired Company Entity) (except any Multiemployer Plan). Except as otherwise provided under the Transition Services Agreement, after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for satisfying the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for any Current Employees or dependents thereof and any individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

(c)In the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, with respect to any of benefit or compensation plans, programs, policies, contracts, agreements or arrangements in which any Current Employee first becomes eligible to participate on or after Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Company Entities to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) (A) waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Current Employee under any such plans providing medical, dental or vision benefits, but only to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods were satisfied or did not apply under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan in effect immediately prior to Closing, and (B) provide credit to such Current Employee for all deductibles, co-payments and the like incurred by such Current Employee for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, under any of such plans providing medical, dental or vision benefits in which such Current Employee may be eligible to participate after Closing in such plan year, but only to the extent such deductible, co-payments and the like were satisfied or did not apply under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan in effect immediately prior to Closing, and (ii) recognize service of Current Employees (or otherwise credited by the Acquired Company Entities) accrued prior to Closing for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the 401(k) plan or paid time off benefits in which such Current Employees may be eligible to participate after Closing for the same purposes that such credit was recognized under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan in effect immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall any credit be given to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits or compensation for the same period of service.

(d)Effective as of the Closing Date, Sellers shall take all necessary actions to cause: (i) all Current Employees to become fully vested in all of their account balances under any Employee Benefit Plan (other than any Multiemployer Plan) intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) and (ii) Sellers to make to the Seller 401(k) Plan all employer contributions that would have been made on behalf of the Current Employees had the Transactions not occurred, regardless of any service or end of year employment requirements, but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date; provided that Sellers shall bear only that portion of the costs associated with the foregoing actions accrued on the April 30^th Financials though the Closing Equity Value Date (it be being understood that if such accrual is inaccurate such inaccuracy will be accounted for in the Working Capital Leakage Impact as described in Section 2.07(a)). Effective as of or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Sellers shall take all necessary and legally permissible actions in order to cause the Seller 401(k) Plan to distribute the account balance of each Current Employee, including outstanding loans, subject to the consent of the Current Employee. Purchaser agrees to take all necessary and legally permissible action to cause a defined contribution plan with a cash or deferred arrangement to accept a direct rollover from the Seller 401(k) Plan of the account balance in cash (but including cash and any outstanding participant loans) of any Current Employee who elects a direct rollover. Purchaser and Sellers agree to provide each other with such records and information as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out their respective obligations in this Section 6.15(d).

(e)Sellers and their Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity) shall be solely responsible for all liabilities and obligations to the current and former employees, officers, directors or other individual service providers (and their respective dependents) of Sellers and their Affiliates (other than an

Acquired Company Entity) relating to or at any time arising under or in connection with or pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement, or arrangement of any kind at any time maintained, sponsored or contributed to or required to be contributed to by any Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity) or under which or with respect to which any Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity) has any current or contingent liability or obligation. Sellers and their Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity) shall be responsible for additional liabilities and obligations paid through the Closing Equity Value Date under or in connection with or pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement of any kind maintained, sponsored or contributed to or required to be contributed to by any Seller or any of its Affiliates (including an Acquired Company Entity) or under or with respect to which any Seller or any of its Affiliates (including an Acquired Company Entity) has any current or contingent liability or obligation. Purchaser shall assume and/or be responsible for all liabilities and obligations related to current and former employees (and their dependents) of the Acquired Company Entities arising after the Closing Equity Value Date under or in connection with or pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement of any kind maintained, sponsored, or contributed to or required to be contributed to by any of the Acquired Company Entities on or since the Closing Equity Value Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Sellers and their Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity) shall assume and/or retain the sponsorship of any and all Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement of any kind maintained, sponsored, or contributed to or required to be contributed to by Sellers or their Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company Entity). Except as provided in the Transition Service Agreement, no provision of this Section 6.15 shall limit, in any way, the ability of Sellers and their Affiliates to amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement of any kind maintained, sponsored, or contributed to or required to be contributed to by Sellers or their Affiliates at any time after the Closing Date in their sole discretion.

(f)No provision of this Section 6.15 shall be deemed to constitute an establishment, amendment or termination of any of Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit or compensation plan, policy, contract, agreement, arrangement or program of Purchaser, the Acquired Company Entities or their respective Affiliates, nor shall this Section 6.15 limit, in any way, the ability of Purchaser, the Acquired Company Entities or their respective Affiliates to, following the Closing, establish, amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit or compensation plan, policy, contract, agreement, arrangement and programs at any time in their sole discretion. Nothing in this Section 6.15 shall provide any individual, including a Current Employee, any right to continued employment or service, or any particular term or condition of employment or service with Purchaser, the Acquired Company Entities or their respective Affiliates, or grant any Person, other than the Parties, any rights or remedies whatsoever, including any third party beneficiary rights or inure to the benefit of or be enforceable by any Current Employee or any entity or Person representing the interests of any Current Employee. Nothing in this Section 6.15, express or implied, shall limit the ability of Purchaser, the Acquired Company Entities or their Subsidiaries to following the Closing terminate the employment or service of any Person, including a Current Employee, at any time for any or no reason.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the compensation, benefits, and other employment terms and conditions of Current Employees represented by a labor union or other labor organization shall be exclusively governed by applicable Law and the terms of any agreement with any such labor union or other labor organization.

Section 6.16 Reorganization. Prior to the Closing (or post-Closing as allowed pursuant to Schedule B), the Acquired Companies and Sellers shall complete the Reorganization described on Schedule B.

Section 6.17 Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy. On or prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall obtain an insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of the Acquired Companies and Sellers under this Agreement (the “R&W Policy”). Purchaser shall provide a copy of the R&W Policy to Sellers’ Representative at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. All premiums and fees due over the duration of the R&W Policy shall be fully paid at or shortly following the Closing by Purchaser. Purchaser shall cause the R&W Policy to expressly provide by endorsement that the policy provider, whether by its own right or through the right of the insured, shall not have the right to, expressly waives, and will not pursue any subrogation rights or contribution rights or any other claims against Sellers or any of their Affiliates, other than for Actual Fraud in connection with any claim made by any Purchaser Party thereunder, and that such provision of the insurance policy may not be amended in a manner adverse to Sellers without the prior written consent of Sellers.

Section 6.18 Purchaser Actions. Any acts or omissions of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any party acting for the benefit or at the discretion of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date shall not be a basis for a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.19 Meeting Conditions to Close. Subject to Section 2.02, Purchaser shall consummate the Transactions within three (3) Business Days, or such other date as Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative may mutually agree in writing, after the date that Sellers’ Representative has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Purchaser that Sellers and the Acquired Companies stand ready and willing to consummate the Closing and will take actions required of them under this Agreement to consummate the Closing, if all of the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and can be satisfied if the Closing were to occur), as of the date of Sellers’ Representative’s written notice.

Section 6.20 Financing.

(a)Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange and consummate the Debt Financing not later than Closing. It is expressly agreed that Purchaser may not raise consummation of Debt Financing as a bar or condition to Close. Purchaser expressly agrees that if Purchaser proceeds with any alternative financing, Purchaser shall be subject to the same obligations with respect to such alternative financing as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Debt Financing.

Purchaser shall provide Seller prompt (but in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notice (i) upon becoming aware of any material breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination) by any party of any agreements or documents (including any definitive agreements) relating to the Debt Financing; and (ii) if for any reason Purchaser reasonably expects that it will not be able to obtain, or there occurs any event or development that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to obtain, all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms contemplated by the definitive documents related to the Debt Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days after the date Sellers’ Representative delivers Purchaser a written request, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, Purchaser shall keep Sellers’ Representative informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to finalize the Debt Financing (or alternative financing) and to satisfy the conditions thereof and provide to Sellers’ Representative copies of all executed material definitive documents related to the Debt Financing (or alternative financing).

Section 6.21 Financial Statement Delivery.

(a)As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to Purchaser:

(i)the audited combined balance sheets of (x) William Charles, Ltd. and subsidiaries, which will include Structors, Inc., and (y) William Charles Purchasing, Inc. (collectively, the “Reporting Group”) as of December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, the audited combined statements of operations and member’s equity and statement of cash flows of the Reporting Group for the years then ended, in each case audited by RSM, which statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and in compliance with Regulation S-X (the “S-X Compliant Financial Statements”);

(ii)the unaudited combined balance sheets of the Reporting Group as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 and the unaudited combined statements of operations and member’s equity and statements of cash flows of the Reporting Group for the six-month periods then ended, prepared in compliance with Regulation S-X and in accordance with AICPA AU-C 930, interim financial information and reviewed by RSM in accordance therewith (the “Most Recent Interim Financial Statements”); provided that, if the final Most Recent Interim Financial Statements are not delivered by November 2, 2018, then Sellers’ Representative shall be required to deliver the Most Recent Interim Financial Statements as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 within thirty (30) days after the Closing; and

(iii)such additional historical financial information as reasonably requested by Purchaser regarding Forest City Logistics, LLC and the acquired assets and their operations as is required to enable Parent to prepare pro forma financial statements giving effect to the Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2017 and as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (or, in the event that Sellers’ Representative is required to deliver the Most Recent Interim Financial Statements as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018), in each case in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

(b)Purchaser shall promptly, upon request from Sellers’ Representative, reimburse Sellers for all documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates in connection with the preparation of the S-X Compliant Financial Statements and Most Recent Interim Financial Statements.

Section 6.22 Insurance Matters and Post-Closing Claims Management.

(a)Following the Closing, William Charles, Ltd. shall provide full access to the Acquired Company Entities to any insurance policy issued to William Charles, Ltd. and which provides coverage to the Acquired Companies or the businesses operated by the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date that are “occurrence based” policies or “claims made” policies under which an Acquired Company Entity has asserted a claim prior to the Closing (the “Seller Policies”) including without limitation those insurance policies set forth on Schedule 6.22 (which such schedule will include an indication of which policies include the Acquired Companies as additional insureds). If William Charles, Ltd. does not have copies of the Seller Policies, William Charles, Ltd. shall provide copies of certificates of insurance or other documents evidencing coverage.

(b)William Charles, Ltd. shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and the Acquired Company Entities in filing and maintaining claims under the Seller Policies related to events occurring prior to the Closing that may result in a defined occurrence under the Seller Policies and otherwise asserting and pursuing such claims thereunder, shall remit to the Acquired Company Entities any payouts or other recoveries received by William Charles, Ltd. in connection with such claims, and shall take no action which would have (or be reasonably expected to have) an adverse effect on the rights or obligations of the Acquired Company Entities as provided in the Seller Policies in connection with such claims or under this Section 6.22 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the status of the Acquired Company Entities as an insured under any Seller Policy).

(c)In the event that William Charles, Ltd. is required to remit payment to an insurer to resolve a claim (by settlement, judgment, or otherwise) or otherwise incurs any reasonable out of pocket costs, expenses, or other liabilities whatsoever in connection with a claim (collectively, “Claim Amounts”), the Acquired Company Entities shall promptly make such payments on behalf of William Charles, Ltd. (so

long as such payments, costs, expenses or other liabilities solely and directly related to such claim) and, subject to the terms below, shall indemnify William Charles, Ltd. for any payment William Charles, Ltd. makes to resolve such Claim Amounts in connection with the resolution of such claim in the event that the Acquired Company Entities fail to timely make such payments on behalf of William Charles, Ltd. for any reason (other than a valid dispute, if asserted in accordance with the terms of the policies covering such claim). For the purposes of clarity, the payment that Acquired Company Entities shall make on behalf of William Charles, Ltd. to resolve any claim shall include any self-insured retention or deductibles and other allocated share of costs above the self-insured retention level, if assessed, that is paid or incurred by William Charles, Ltd in the resolution of such claims, but shall not include any amounts allocated to William Charles, Ltd as adjustments to premiums previously paid, such as retrospective premium adjustments.

(d)William Charles, Ltd. and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Company Entities) shall retain all rights, benefits and obligations conferred or accruing by virtue of its ownership or membership in American Contractors Insurance Group (“ACIG”) or under the Seller Policies, including the right to any retrospective credit or retrospective premium adjustment due, paid or payable in connection with the Seller Policies. For the purposes of clarity, it is the intention of the Parties that Purchaser will bear the costs of any claims regarding the Acquired Company Entities arising out of occurrences prior to the Closing Date and will have the benefit of any insurance coverages available covering any such claims, and that William Charles, Ltd will otherwise be entitled to or responsible for any other benefits or costs that are attributable to its ownership interest in the ACIG “captive” insurance program and/or any premiums paid prior to the Closing Date by William Charles, Ltd. or the Acquired Company Entities for such coverage.

(e)Upon receipt by William Charles, Ltd. of notice of any required payment in connection with any claim, William Charles, Ltd. shall give notice to Purchaser of such required payment (together with any supporting materials and other information reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection therewith), and Purchaser shall promptly make such payment. If William Charles Ltd. does not provide Purchaser timely notification of required payments related to claims, or in the event coverage or claim payments are adversely affected due to Williams Charles, Ltd.’s failure to give such notice or otherwise comply with policy terms, William Charles, Ltd. will indemnify Purchaser for any reasonable out of pocket costs, expenses, or other liabilities whatsoever incurred in connection with such issues.

Purchaser understands the William Charles, Ltd.’s withdrawal from certain insurance policies, including without limitation ACIG, may be subject to an extended withdrawal period (the “Withdrawal Period”). After the claims covered by this Section 6.22 are resolved, Purchaser shall cooperate with William Charles, Ltd. in connection with such withdrawal, and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any action that will adversely affect William Charles, Ltd.’s retrospective position during the Withdrawal Period.

Section 6.23 Performance Assurance Instruments. On or prior to the Closing, with respect to the surety bonds, letters of credit or other similar facilities or instruments which are set forth in Schedule 6.23 (the “Performance Assurance Instruments”), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to release Sellers or their Affiliates from any general indemnity agreement (or similar obligation) related to the Performance Assurance Instruments as soon as practicable, and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in such release. While any Seller or its Affiliate remains obligated for any Performance Assurance Instruments, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers harmless against any Losses incurred by Sellers under such Performance Assurance Instruments due to any action or inaction on the part of Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities in respect of such Performance Assurance Instruments or the projects such instruments support.

Section 8.01 Survival. None of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date; provided, however, that those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents that by their terms are to be performed following the Closing Date shall survive the Closing Date until fully performed.

The receipt of the foregoing releases is an essential inducement to the Parties hereto entering into this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated herein. Each of the Parties hereto covenants and agrees that it will not, at any time hereafter, directly or indirectly, commence or initiate (or cause another to commence or initiate), or participate in, any proceeding against or involving any Purchaser Party or Sellers Party, as applicable, that relates solely to the matters covered by the releases set forth above, unless and until requested to do so by such Purchaser Party or Sellers Party, as applicable (and then at Sellers’ or Purchaser’s (as applicable) sole option), or compelled to do so under penalty of law pursuant to the lawfully issued process of a legal, judicial, legislative or regulatory authority. Except for the Post Closing Obligations, following the Closing, each of Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the payment of the Closing Equity Value and the Parent Common Stock, and the transfer of the Equity Interests shall be adequate compensation for any breach of any non-post Closing representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Acquired Companies or Sellers, in the case of Purchaser, or Purchaser, in the case of Sellers, contained herein or for any other right, claim or course of action arising in connection with or with respect to the non-post Closing Transactions and each of Purchaser and Sellers hereby waive, on its/their own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Parties and Sellers Parties, respectively, any right to rescind this Agreement or any of the Transactions. Nothing herein shall operate to limit or eliminate the common law liability of any one Party to the other Party for Actual Fraud in the event such Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed Actual Fraud.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative;

(b)(i) by Sellers’ Representative, if neither the Acquired Companies, Sellers’ Representative nor any Sellers is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations to close to not be satisfied, and Purchaser breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform, and (C) has not been waived by Sellers’ Representative; and (ii) by Purchaser, if Purchaser is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement so as to cause the conditions to any Sellers, Acquired Companies, or Sellers’ Representative’s obligations to close to not be satisfied, and the Acquired Companies, Sellers’ Representative or any Seller breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice of such breach or failure to perform, and (C) has not been waived by Purchaser; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(ii) in respect of a breach by Sellers or the Acquired Companies

of a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement shall not be available to Purchaser if, as of the date of this Agreement, J.P. Roehm or Peter Jonna has actual knowledge without independent investigation as of the date hereof of a breach of such representation or warranty;

(c)by either Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have been consummated by November 5, 2018 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that in the event Sellers’ Representative is seeking to specifically enforce Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the Transactions and/or to prevent or cure breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser, then the Termination Date (as extended, as applicable) shall be extended to the date that is ten (10) Business Days subsequent to the date that any such proceedings related to Sellers’ Representative’s efforts are finally judicially determined and are no longer subject to appeal. In the event that the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or before the Termination Date (as extended, as applicable), then either Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(c) shall not be available if the failure of the Party so requesting termination (including with respect to Sellers’ Representative, the Acquired Companies and any Seller) to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated on or prior to such date;

(d)by Sellers’ Representative, if (i) all of the obligations of the Acquired Companies, Sellers’ Representative and each Seller set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.03 have been and continue to be satisfied or waived (other than those obligations that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied assuming a Closing would occur or would have been waived assuming a Closing would occur); (ii) Sellers’ Representative has irrevocably given notice to Purchaser in writing that (A) all of the conditions to Sellers’ and the Acquired Companies’ obligations to consummate the Closing have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied assuming a Closing would occur or would have been waived assuming a Closing would occur) and (B) if Purchaser performs its obligations hereunder, then Sellers, Sellers’ Representative and the Acquired Companies are prepared, willing and able to consummate the Closing; and (iii) Purchaser failed to consummate the Closing on the later of three (3) Business Days after the date by which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.02 and receipt by Purchaser of the notice referred to in the foregoing clause (ii); or

(e)by either Sellers’ Representative or Purchaser, if any Governmental Authority shall have entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling which, in any such case, has become final and non-appealable and has the effect of preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions.

(f)The Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01 (other than Section 9.01(a)) shall give prompt written notice of such termination to the other parties in accordance with Section 10.07.

Section 9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party, except (a) for payment of the Other Fees and the provisions of Sections 6.07, 6.13, 9.02, 9.03, 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09, 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15, 10.19 and 10.20, and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.03(a).

Section 9.04 Purchaser Termination Fee.

(a)In the event this Agreement is validly terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(ii) at a time when Sellers’ Representative is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) or Section 9.01(d) or by Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) or Section 9.01(d), Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Acquired Companies to an account designated by Sellers’

Representative by wire transfer of same day funds an amount equal to $10,000,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”) promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such termination.

(b)The Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions;

(ii) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement;

(iii)If Purchaser fails to promptly pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 9.03(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, Sellers’ Representative commences a suit or brings an Action, Purchaser shall be responsible for and pay Sellers’ Representative’ reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit or Action plus interest on the amount payable pursuant to any judgment rendered or settlement entered with respect to such suit or Action, at a rate equal to 3% plus the “Prime Rate” in effect and announced as such on a daily basis in the Wall Street Journal from the date such payment was originally required to be made pursuant to Section 9.03(a) above through the date of payment;

(iv)the Purchaser Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount (along with the amounts set forth in Section 9.03(b)(iii) and the Other Fees to which Seller or its applicable Affiliates are entitled that will compensate the Acquired Companies and Sellers for any and all claims, costs, expenses, Taxes, damages, liabilities, diminution in value, losses or deficiencies (including attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action or proceeding or incurred in connection with the enforcement of rights hereunder) (“Damages”) suffered or incurred by the Acquired Companies, Sellers or any other Person in connection with this Agreement, the Transactions (and the abandonment or termination hereof) or any other matter forming the basis for such termination, and no Person shall have any rights or claims against any of Purchaser and any of its Affiliates, and each of their respective general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, advisors, Affiliates, agents, financing sources, or other representatives, successors and assigns (each, an “Purchaser Related Party”), and no Purchaser Related Party shall have any other liability or obligation for any or all Losses suffered or incurred by Sellers, the Acquired Companies, any of either of their direct or indirect equityholders or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof) or any of the Transactions (and the abandonment or termination hereof), or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise in the circumstances in which such fee is paid for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision and without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated by Sellers’ Representative in circumstances where the Purchaser Termination Fee is payable, the receipt of the Purchaser Termination Fee and the Other Fees shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Sellers and the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates against Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties for any Damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, it being understood that in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay fees or damages payable pursuant to this Section 9.03 on more than one occasion.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum liability of Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties for Damages based on any breach of this Agreement or otherwise, including any claim based on tort, breach of contract shall be an amount equal to the Purchaser Termination Fee and the Other Fees.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the Releasees as described in Section 6.11, the Seller Parties and Purchaser Parties as described in Section 8.02, the Indemnified Persons as described on Section 10.16, the No Recourse Persons described in Section 10.20, and those Persons described as third party beneficiaries in Section 10.21, this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.02 Remedies.

(a)Notwithstanding anything contained in Article IX to the contrary, the Acquired Companies, Sellers’ Representative and Sellers hereby agree that, in the event that any of the Acquired Companies, Sellers’ Representative or Sellers violate any provisions of this Agreement, the remedies at Law available to Purchaser may be inadequate. In such event, Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies it may have, to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (including rights of rescission) to enforce or prevent any violations by the Acquired Companies, Sellers’ Representative or Sellers of this Agreement. If at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum period, scope and geographical area, as applicable, reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope and area, as applicable.

(b)Notwithstanding anything contained in Article IX to the contrary, Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to specific performance of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing in any court referred to in Section 10.02(a), this being in addition to any other remedy to which Sellers’ Representative may be entitled at law or in equity; provided, however, that such remedies as specified in this Section 10.02(b) shall be available to Sellers’ Representative only in the event that (i) all conditions in Section 7.01 and Section 7.03 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied assuming a Closing would occur) at the time when the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of Purchaser to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.02 within five (5) Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.02, (ii) the Debt Financing has been fully funded (or will be fully funded at the Closing) or is otherwise available to be drawn down by Purchaser and (iii) Sellers’ Representative has irrevocably confirmed in a writing delivered to Purchaser that if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur. For the avoidance of doubt, while Sellers’ Representative may pursue both a grant of specific performance of the type provided in the preceding sentence and monetary damages or the payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee under Section 9.03(a), under no circumstances shall the Acquired Companies be permitted or entitled to receive (and in no circumstances shall it receive) both a grant of specific performance of the type contemplated by the preceding sentence and any monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Purchaser Termination Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Person other than Sellers’ Representative be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing), and in no event shall any Person other than Sellers’ Representative be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing.

The sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, made in connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the Transactions will be only those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (and then only to the extent that such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement); and the Parties hereby agree that no Party will have any remedies or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.02 shall (i) limit claims or remedies for Actual

Fraud or (ii) expand or create a right by Purchaser to bring any claims or seek any remedies against the Seller Parties for breaches of representations and warranties in violation of Section 8.02.

Section 10.03 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and supersede any prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties; provided that Purchaser may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates and designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder, (ii) if the Closing occurs, assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder, to lenders providing financing for the Transactions as collateral security, and (iii) if the Closing occurs, assign any or all of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to an acquirer of all or substantially all of the assets of Purchaser or the Acquired Company Entities; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder provided, further that, if either party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, Sellers may, at their election, assign its rights under this Agreement to the Acquired Company Entities.

Section 10.05 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of digital imaging and electronic mail or a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

Section 10.06 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any such prior or subsequent occurrence unless otherwise expressly provided in writing.

The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, covenant or agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

Section 10.11 Interpretation. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (i) words of any gender include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (iv) the terms “Article” or “Section” refer to the specified Article or Section of this Agreement; (v) the word “including” means “including without limitation”; (vi) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; and (vii) the terms “made available,” “furnished,” “delivered,” or “provided” shall, in the case of items stated herein to have been made available, furnished or provided to Purchaser, mean only those documents posted to the FMI Capital Advisors, Inc. data room as of two (2) days prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations.

Section 10.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 10.14 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each Party consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, as applicable, for any Action arising from or in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this

Agreement. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 10.15 Disclosure Schedules. The information set forth in each section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to provide the information contemplated by, or otherwise qualify, the representations and warranties of the Acquired Companies set forth in the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement and any other section or subsection of Article III, but only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure that it applies to such other section or subsection of Article III. The Acquired Companies and Sellers may, at their option, include in the Schedules items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and any such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.16 Indemnification of Managers, Directors and Officers. All rights to indemnification provided in the Acquired Company Entities organizational and governing documents (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms. On or prior to the Closing, the Acquired Company Entities will purchase, for the benefit of each Person who is now, has been at any time prior to the Closing Date, or who becomes prior to the Closing Date a director, manager, officer, shareholder, member or partner of any of the Acquired Company Entities (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) a prepaid “tail” directors and officers insurance policy (the “Tail Policy”), that (a) provides directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to the Indemnified Persons on substantially the same terms and conditions as the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy currently in place for the benefit of such Indemnified Persons, including coverage with respect to any fees, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, suits, proceedings or investigations, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or related to such Indemnified Person’s service as a director, manager, officer, shareholder, member or partner of any of the Acquired Company Entities, or services performed by such Indemnified Person at the request of any of the Acquired Company Entities, in each case occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, (b) has a one-time premium not to exceed three hundred percent (300%) of such Acquired Company Entities current annual premium, and (c) covers a period of time ending no earlier than the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date. The cost of the Tail Policy shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers’ Representative (such Sellers’ Representative’s share being taken into account as part of Transaction Expenses). The provisions of this Section 10.16 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee to whom this provision applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, its heirs and its legal representatives.

Section 10.17 Counsel. It is acknowledged by each of the Parties hereto that Sellers, the Acquired Company Entities, and their Affiliates have retained HolmstromKennedyPC and Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (together with HolmstromKennedyPC, the “Existing Counsel”) to act as their counsel in connection with the Transactions and that the Existing Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the Transactions and that no other Party or Person has the status of a client of the Existing Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Purchaser and the Acquired Company hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Company Entities) and Sellers or any of their Affiliates (hereafter “Disputes”), the Existing Counsel may represent Sellers or any of their Affiliates in such Disputes even though the interests of Sellers or their Affiliates may be directly adverse to Purchaser, the Acquired Company Entities or any of their Affiliates,

and even though the Existing Counsel may have acquired confidential information from or about the Acquired Company Entities or any of its Affiliates related to any Disputes, represented the Acquired Company Entities or one or more of their Affiliates in a matter substantially related to such Disputes, or may be handling ongoing matters for Sellers, the Acquired Company Entities or one or more of their Affiliates. Purchaser and the Acquired Company Entities hereby consent to and waive, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates, any conflict of interest in connection with representation by Existing Counsel in connection with any Disputes. Moreover, Purchaser and the Acquired Company Entities (each for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates) agree and covenant not to seek to disqualify the Existing Counsel from Disputes. This is in addition to any consent or waiver provided prior to Closing to the Existing Counsel by the Acquired Company Entities or its Affiliates. Purchaser further agrees and the Acquired Company Entities (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates) affirms its pre-existing agreement that Sellers own all legal files and all rights to assert or waive privilege associated with the Existing Counsel’s representation of the Acquired Company Entities and its Affiliates prior to the Closing, whether those files are with Existing Counsel, in each case to the extent that such representations relate in any way to the Transactions or any other representation conducted by the Existing Counsel jointly with Sellers or their Affiliates. Ownership of such files and the right to assert or waive privilege shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, the Acquired Company Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates. Purchaser agrees that it will not, and that it will cause its Affiliates not to, (i) access or use the communications and materials exchanged among the Acquired Company Entities, Existing Counsel, Sellers, Sellers’ Representative, and Sellers’ Affiliates that relate in any way to the Transactions or any other representation conducted by the Existing Counsel jointly with Sellers or their Affiliates, including by way of review of any electronic data, communications or other information or by seeking to have the Sellers waive the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting that the Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates has the right to assert or waive the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or other privilege or (ii) seek to obtain such communications or materials from Existing Counsel. Purchaser and the Acquired Company Entities agree to take, and to cause their Affiliates to take, all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 10.17 and not to take or cause their Affiliates to take positions contrary to the intent of this Section 10.17.

Section 10.18 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each Party to this Agreement shall take all such reasonable necessary action as is requested by the other Parties hereto (at the expense of the requesting Party). The Parties hereto shall execute any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions.

Section 10.19 Severability. If any provision, clause or part of this Agreement, or the application thereof under certain circumstances, is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision, clause or part under other circumstances, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

FEATHERSTONE LEASE AGREEMENT

LEASE AGREEMENT

This lease (“Lease”) is entered into on_______________, 2018, by Snort Equipment, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Landlord”), William Charles Construction Company, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Tenant”) and Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”). Each of Landlord and Tenant are sometimes referred to in this instrument as a “Party”, and they are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Lease in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among IEA Energy Services LLC, the Acquired Companies party thereto, Sellers party thereto, and William Charles, Ltd., an Illinois corporation, in its capacity as Sellers’ Representative, dated as of October 12, 2018.

WHEREAS, in connection therewith, Guarantor desires to guarantee and support Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, the Parties agree as follows:

1. PREMISES

1.1 Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, that certain real property (the “Premises” or the “Leased Premises”) situated in Rockford, Illinois, and commonly known as 833 Featherstone Road, Rockford, Illinois, which is legally described on Exhibit A, and which is improved with a building (the “Building”) containing approximately 40,080 square feet and associated parking areas. The Premises includes all appurtenant easements for the use of the common areas which serve the Building and the parking lot, sidewalks, entrances, and exits.

2. TERM

2.1 The Term of this lease shall commence on the date of this instrument (the “Commencement Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, the Term shall continue until [__________], 2033 (the “Original Term”). For purposes of this lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean a twelve-month period commencing on January 1 of each year and ending on December 31 of the following year; provided, however, that the initial Lease Year shall be the period which commences on the date of this instrument and ends on December 31, 2018. As used in this instrument, “Term” or “Lease Term” shall mean the Original Term and any extension of the Original Term which is then in effect.

2.2 As long as Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall have three (3) successive options to extend the Term of this Lease for five (5) additional years each, in each case exercisable by a written notice to that effect to Landlord not less than 60 days prior to the last day of the then current Term.

3. PURPOSE AND OPERATIONS

3.1 The Premises are leased to Tenant for office purposes with related storage space, or for any other lawful purpose. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of any proposed use. Tenant will not

use or occupy the premises, or permit the same to be used or occupied, for any purpose or business deemed hazardous on account of fire or otherwise, or for any unlawful purpose; and will conform to and obey all applicable present and future laws, and ordinances, and rules, and regulations, and requirements and orders of all applicable government authorities or agencies with respect to use of the Premises.

3.2 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to impose any affirmative obligation on Tenant to make any particular use of the Premises or any use at all. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to require Tenant to keep the Premises open for the conduct of any business during any particular hours, or on any particular days, or at all, or to restrict Tenant’s business activities outside the Premises.

4. RENT

4.1 Address. All payments under this Lease shall be payable to Landlord at 1401 North Second Street, Rockford, Illinois, 61107, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

4.2 Amount. Commencing on the date of this instrument, Tenant shall pay Landlord in advance on or before the first calendar day of each and every month during the term of this Lease, including any extensions, a monthly rental determined as follows: (a) during the initial Lease Year and in each subsequent Lease Year (pro-rated for any partial month) through and including the Lease Year ending December 31, 2024, the monthly rent shall be $36,000.00 per month; (b), commencing January 1, 2025 and on each subsequent 5^th anniversary of that date, the monthly rental shall be the amount payable in the immediately preceding Lease Year increased by the same percentage as the percentage increase in the “CPI” over the immediately preceding five (5) years; provided, however, that because the CPI as of each such anniversary date will not be immediately available, the increase in the monthly rental shall be estimated by Landlord based on the latest reported CPI then available and any difference in the monthly rental between the monthly rental actually paid and the monthly rental which would have been paid if the CPI were immediately available on the anniversary date shall be added to and paid as a part of the monthly rental for the first month after the CPI is available. For example, assume that during the 5 years ending on December 31, 2024, the CPI increased by 9%, the CPI as of December 31, 2024 was first published on March 5, 2014, and the latest CPI available as of January 1, 2025, reflected an increase of 8.75%. During the 5 years commencing on January 1, 2025, the monthly rental would be $39,240 per month. The rental actually paid in January, February, and March 2025 was $39,150 per month, so $270 would be added to the monthly rental payable on April 1, 2025. For this purpose, the term “CPI” shall mean the All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the US City Average as compiled by the US Department of Labor, or the corresponding replacement index. The monthly rental will be prorated for any partial calendar month. Landlord shall give Tenant prior written notice of each adjustment to the monthly rental, but the failure of Landlord to give notice shall not affect the obligation of Tenant to pay the monthly rental as adjusted.

4.3 Occupancy. Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises as of the date of this instrument.

5. ADDITIONAL RENTALS.

5.1 All amounts due Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this Lease other than Base Rent shall be additional rent (“Additional Rent”). Base Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes referred to in this instrument as "Rent". Additional Rent shall be payable without demand, deduction or set‑off whatsoever.

5.2 Tenant agrees to pay: (a) 100% of the total cost of insurance obtained by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease; (b) all real estate taxes levied or assessed against the Premises during the Lease Term; (c) all costs and expenses for repairs to or maintenance of the Leased Premises and the Building as described in Section 16 below, including, as examples and not in limitation, signage, grounds and landscaping maintenance, snow removal, and driveway and parking lot maintenance, repairs, striping, and resurfacing.

5.3 (a) Following the Commencement Date, as part of the consideration for the execution and delivery of the Lease and as Additional Rent, Tenant covenants and agrees during the Term of this Lease to pay the real property taxes and assessments relating solely to the Premises prior to delinquency but only as to those applying to the Term

of the Lease. Except as otherwise provided in this instrument, payments of such Real Estate Taxes shall be pro‑rated on a daily basis to account for the beginning and termination of the Term.

(b) "Real Estate Taxes" shall include all taxes attributable to the improvements now or subsequently made to or upon the Premises, or attributable to any present or future installation in or on the Premises, fixtures, machinery, or equipment; all real estate taxes, assessments, or impositions; water and sewer rents; and other governmental impositions and charges of every kind or nature whatsoever, nonrecurring as well as recurring; special or extraordinary as well as ordinary; foreseen and unforeseen; and each and every installment, which are levied, assessed or imposed, or become due and payable or become liens upon, or arise in connection with the use, occupancy or possession of, or any interest in, the Premises, during the Term. If because of any change in the taxation of real estate, any other tax, imposition or assessment (including without limitation, any franchise, income, profit, sales, use, occupancy, gross receipts or rental tax) is imposed on Landlord as the owner of the Premises, or on the occupancy, rents or income from either of the foregoing, in substitution for any Real Estate Taxes, such other tax or assessment will be deemed part of Real Estate Taxes. Tenant acknowledges Real Estate Taxes are paid in arrears and the final reconciliation of Tenant’s Real Estate Tax obligation shall be payable by Tenant after expiration of the Term.

(c) For purposes of this Lease, Real Estate Taxes shall be deemed to accrue on a daily basis during the Lease Term and shall be paid on the due dates established by the applicable taxing authorities. In the last year of the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant’s pro rata share of any Real Estate Taxes for the year in which the Term ends and Landlord shall be responsible for paying the Real Estate Taxes for the last year of the term in full prior to delinquency. Tenant’s pro-rata share of the Real Estate Taxes for the year in which the Term ends shall be estimated by Landlord based on the latest available information and Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the amount of the estimate and the manner of its determination not less than 30 days prior to the last day of the Term, but any delay by Landlord in providing notice shall not affect the liability of Tenant for its pro-rata share of the real Estate Taxes for the year in which the Term ends. Notwithstanding the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall remain liable for its pro-rata share of the Real Estate Taxes if not paid prior to the expiration of the Term. Upon the payment of such pro rata share to Landlord, Tenant’s obligations with respect to Real Estate Taxes shall be deemed satisfied. If Tenant has prepaid Taxes and has not received sufficient credits against Rent in order to be reimbursed for all prepaid Taxes relating to the period of time after the end of the Term or relating to other property of Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within ten (10) days after demand. Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective obligations under this provision shall survive termination or expiration of the Lease.

(d) Landlord agrees to promptly send to Tenant copies of any notices relating to Taxes received by Landlord. Tenant, at its expense, may dispute and contest the Real Estate Taxes, and in such cases the disputed charge need not be paid until finally adjudged to be valid. At the conclusion of such contest, Tenant shall pay the charge contested to the extent it is held valid, together with all court costs, interest, penalties and other expenses. Nothing in this instrument, however, shall be construed as to allow contested items to remain unpaid for a length of time which permits the Premises (or any part thereof) or any Real Estate Taxes to be sold by governmental, city or municipal authorities for nonpayment. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any loss or expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred as a result of any contest of Real Estate Taxes. Any rebate made on account of any Real Estate Taxes or charges paid by Tenant shall be credited against the payments of Additional Rent next due. Landlord agrees to render to Tenant all reasonable assistance in contesting the validity or amount of any such Taxes, including joining in the signing of any reasonable protests or pleadings which Tenant may reasonably deem advisable to file.

5.4 Assessments. The Premises is subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, obligations, and easements contained in Section X of Guilford Square Plat No. 2 Declaration of Protective Covenants for Guilford Square Office Park (“Declaration”) and is a part of the Guilford Square Office Park Association (“Association”). As such, the Premises is subject to association dues and assessments. Tenant shall pay all dues, assessments, or other impositions payable to the Association or under the Declaration during the Term.

6. UTILITIES and GARBAGE COLLECTION. Tenant shall pay all utility charges for electric power and lighting, water, sprinkler inspections, sewer service, telephone, and gas, internet service, or other utilities during the term of this Lease, including all connection fees, meter deposits, and similar charges. Tenant shall be responsible for the proper sanitary disposal of all waste materials produced by Tenant’s activities. Except for rubbish, trash, garbage, or other waste temporarily, securely, and safely stored in containers owned by Tenant in accordance with all

applicable laws and regulations, no rubbish, trash, garbage, or other waste materials shall be kept or allowed to accumulate on the Leased Premises except in regularly serviced, covered sanitary containers located in appropriate areas.

7. RESERVED USES. Intentionally left blank.

8. HAZARDOUS, SPECIAL, AND MEDICAL WASTE. Tenant, its servants, agents or employees, shall not treat, store, or dispose of any hazardous, special, or medical wastes on the Leased Premises except in compliance in all material respects with applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations relating to protection of the environment or pollution (“Environmental Laws”). For the purposes of this Lease, the term “store” shall be defined in the same manner as that used in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended and the applicable regulations under that act. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any notice, claim, report of violation, or other matter of similar import received by Tenant from the U.S. EPA, the Illinois EPA, or any other governmental body having jurisdiction, which relates to or arises from any actual or alleged pollution, spill, discharge or other release of hazardous materials on the Leased Premises. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and its successors and assigns against and hold them harmless from any liabilities, claims, costs, demands, response costs, or expenses (including attorney’s fees, site remedial investigation or feasibility studies, site clean-up, or defense costs) which relate to the Leased Premises and arise by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, vendors, or customers in breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Section, or by reason of the breach of Tenant’s obligations under any Environmental Law. Landlord shall indemnify Tenant and its successors and assigns and hold them harmless from any liabilities, claims, costs, demands, response costs, or expenses (including attorney’s fees, site remedial investigation or feasibility studies, site clean-up, or defense costs) which relate to the Leased Premises and arise by reason other than a breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Section or any Environmental Law, including with respect to any hazardous materials existing on, under, in or about the Leased Premises on or before the commencement date of this Lease.

9. INSURANCE.

9.1 Tenant will maintain at its expense property insurance coverage and loss of rents coverage on the building and improvements on the Leased Premises on a one hundred percent (100%) “replacement cost” basis. The coverage shall be equivalent to the “Causes of Loss - Special Form” which is published by the ISO Commercial Risk Services, Inc., including coverage for betterments, changes in ordinances, and falsework. Each such policy shall include a waiver of subrogation. Landlord shall be designated as loss payee under any such insurance. Tenant shall also carry and maintain, at its expense, property insurance on its inventory, fixtures, equipment, leasehold improvements signs, vehicles, and other personal property to their reasonable value.

9.2 If the Building or any other improvements on the Premises or any contents or equipment or other property in the Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty insured under a policy or policies of insurance carried by either party under this agreement, the rights of either party and their respective insurance carriers against the other, by way of subrogation or otherwise, are waived except for such rights as are provided for in Section 22.

9.3 Tenant agrees to carry and pay the premiums for commercial liability insurance, insuring itself and Landlord against injury to property, person or loss of life arising out of the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises with a per occurrence limit of $2,000,000 and an aggregate limit of $4,000,000. Landlord shall be named an additional insured under each such policy.

9.4 Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of each policy, including all endorsements, and certificates of insurance demonstrating that the insurance required under this Lease is in effect. Each policy and certificate of insurance shall acknowledge that the carriers in question shall provide Landlord with 30 days advance notice if the coverage is canceled or not renewed.

10. HOLD HARMLESS. Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from any and all claims, damages, costs and expense, including attorney’s fees, arising from the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or the conduct or management of the business conducted by Tenant on the Leased Premises, excluding any such liability that arises out of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord agrees to indemnify

and save Tenant harmless against and from any and all claims, damages, costs and expense, including attorney’s fees, arising from any breach by Landlord of any covenant or condition of this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period or negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

11.1 Tenant shall be entitled to assign this Lease upon prior approval by Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or conditioned on the payment of a fee; and provided, however, that in the event of such an assignment, the business reputation and creditworthiness of any proposed assignee shall be substantially equivalent to or superior to Tenant’s, all of the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of the rents due under this Lease and the faithful performance and observance of all other obligations and conditions arising under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord but with prior written notice to Landlord, to assign this Lease to any affiliate of Tenant, to any subsidiaries of Tenant, to any purchaser in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant or to any successor by merger, consolidation or reorganization provided in any such event Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of the rents due under this Lease and the faithful performance and observance of all other obligations and conditions arising under this Lease unless the proposed assignee has a net worth equal to or greater than the lesser of the net worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease or the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the assignment. Furthermore, Tenant shall have the right to sublet all or a portion of the Premises without Landlord’s consent, in which case, Tenant shall remain primarily responsible hereunder.

12. NO PARTNERSHIP RELATIONSHIP. Notwithstanding any agreements contained in this lease, Landlord shall not be construed or held to be a partner or associate of Tenant in the conduct of its business, it being expressly understood and agreed that the relationship between the parties is and at all times shall remain that of Landlord and Tenant.

13. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Within the terms of this agreement and subject to those matters affecting title which are described in Exhibit B, Tenant shall have peaceful and quiet use and possession of the Leased Premises without hindrance on the part of Landlord.

14. ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, IMPROVEMENTS.

14.1 Certain improvements (the “Tenant’s Improvements”) to the Premises may from time to time be required for the operations of Tenant’s business. The parties acknowledge that Tenant and its affiliates are engaged in the construction business and that some or all of Tenant’s Improvements may be constructed by Tenant or its affiliates. Except as set forth in Section 14.2, prior to the commencement of any Tenant’s Improvements, Tenant will provide Landlord with a “work letter” which describes Tenant’s Improvements, identifies any work to be performed by Tenant or its affiliates, provides a detailed breakdown of the anticipated costs for each component of Tenant’s Improvements, financial security for any costs, and provides such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant will not commence Tenant’s Improvements without the written approval of Landlord. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval. If Landlord fails to send written notice of disapproval within ten (10) days after Tenant requests Landlord’s consent under this Lease, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the request. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of Tenant’s Improvements. Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall obtain in a timely fashion, all permits associated with such improvements. Tenant shall have the right to remove any such alterations or modifications if Tenant restores in all material respects the area damaged in connection with such removal. If Landlord fails to send written notice of disapproval within ten (10) days after Tenant requests Landlord’s consent under this Lease, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the request.

14.2 Tenant agrees to make no other alterations, additions, or improvements in or to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be required for non-structural alterations or improvements such as repainting, the replacement of carpeting, or similar matters. In addition, Tenant, at its own cost and expense, may erect such furniture, fixtures and equipment as it desires in the Premises provided that such items

do not overload or damage the Premises or the building and the construction, erection or installation thereof complies with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations.

15. SIGNS. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to erect a sign or signs on the Leased Premises which identify Tenant(s) in the Building, including directional signs at the entrance, all of which are consistent with any applicable covenants or restrictions of record and in accordance with all relevant statutes and ordinances. The location of all signs shall be determined by the mutual agreement of the parties and shall be compatible in size and location with the existing signage.

16. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

16.1 Subject to Landlord’s obligations set forth in Section 16.2 below, Tenant shall keep and service, repair and maintain the Premises in good condition, including the interior and exterior of the Leased Premises, all electrical, heating, air-conditioning equipment, plumbing, sprinkler system, wiring, piping, fixtures, doors, glass, floor covering, parking lot, fixtures, doors, glass, windows, lighting, snowplowing of driveways, signs, landscaping, equipment and appurtenances and any other repairs or replacements necessary to maintain and operate the Premises. Tenant shall supply janitorial services to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance of the parking lot including, but not limited to, patching, general cleaning or sweeping, and sealing and striping the parking lot and driveways. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 5 above, in the event that Tenant replaces any major capital improvement in the Building and the useful life of the improvement is greater than the then remaining term of the Lease, including any extensions, Tenant shall have the additional option, exercisable by written notice to Landlord not more than thirty (30) days after the completion of the improvement in question, to extend the term of this Lease for a period equal to the useful life of the improvement. For this purpose, the useful life of an improvement shall be determined by an independent engineer or architect with experience in similar work who is selected by the mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant and if they are unable to agree, by arbitration in accordance with Section 33 below. A “major capital improvement” shall mean an item (or a series of similar items) requiring an expenditure of greater than $50,000.00, which is properly accounted for as a capital item, and shall include such things as the replacement of furnaces, air conditioning units, elevators, the roof, windows, or parking lots.

16.2 Landlord shall, at its sole expense without reimbursement, maintain, repair and replace all of the roof and structural components of the building (including the foundation, those portions of the exterior walls necessary for the structural integrity of the building, interior load bearing walls, joist, beams and other elements generally affecting the structural integrity of the building, but excluding doors, door frames, windows and window frames and the interior and exterior surfaces of walls) of the Premises (collectively, the “Structure”), in good condition and, to that end, shall make, at its expense, all replacements and repairs, to keep the Structure of the Premises in good and safe repair and condition.

17. LIENS. Tenant shall discharge or bond over any lien filed against the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises for work done or materials furnished with respect to the building or other improvements located on the Leased Premises by Tenant or any agents or contractors on its behalf within thirty (30) days after such lien is filed. Further, Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from any such claim for mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialmen’s liens filed against the Leased Premises or any part of the Leased Premises, including the payment of any reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses and damages except for any such liens caused by Landlord. Tenant shall not allow any mortgage, financing statement or similar instrument affecting any property of Tenant to be filed or placed of record in any real estate records which would adversely affect the title to the Premises.

18. RETURN OF LEASED PREMISES ON EXPIRATION. Tenant agrees to return the Leased Premises to Landlord at the expiration of this Lease in as good condition and repair as the condition existing at the commencement of this Lease, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other insured casualty. Tenant shall surrender the premises in broom-clean condition and free of debris.

19. REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES AND SIGNS. At the termination of this Lease, Tenant may remove Tenant’s Improvements and any other trade fixtures and signs furnished and paid for by it including, without

limitation, all such fixtures and signs as Tenant, from time to time, may place or install on the Premises; provided, that Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises which are occasioned by the removal of its improvements.

20. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE AND NON-DISTURBANCE. Tenant understands and agrees that this Lease may be subject to a permanent financing mortgage, deed of trust, or other financing agreements or encumbrance covering all or part of the Premises. Tenant agrees that this Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to any permanent financing mortgage, deed of trust or other financing agreement or encumbrance which may now or subsequently encumber the Leased Premises; provided, however, that any holder of any mortgage, or trustee of any deed of trust, or holder of any financing agreement or other encumbrance, shall agree that this Lease shall not be divested or in any other way affected by foreclosure, or other default proceedings under the mortgage, deed of trust or obligations secured by it, or other financing agreement or encumbrance, so long as Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant agrees that this Lease shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such foreclosure or other default proceedings.

21. CONDEMNATION.

21.1 Condemnation of Premises. If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase by any public authority in lieu of the exercise of the right of eminent domain or if any part of the premises is so taken and the part not so taken is insufficient or rendered economically unfeasible for the reasonable operation of Tenant’s business consistent with the rents and additional rents provided for in this Lease, then in either of such events, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the taking is final and non-appealable. In the event either party exercises this option to terminate, this Lease and the term granted shall cease and expire on the date when possession is taken of the Premises or part taken and all rents, taxes, and other charges shall be prorated and paid to that date.

21.2 Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recovered by Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of any and all damage to Tenant’s business by reason of any condemnation, for or on account of any cost or loss to which Tenant might be put in removing Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and for any costs of relocation. In ascertaining Tenant’s interest and the damages sustained by Tenant, the term of this Lease shall be deemed to run for the full Original Term plus any extended term notwithstanding any termination which may result by the taking or appropriation. Landlord shall accept no offer in lieu of condemnation with respect to any damage to or taking of Tenant’s business or other amounts recoverable by Tenant without prior consultation with and written approval of Tenant. Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with copies of any and all notices, suit papers, offers and any other communications received with respect to condemnation proceedings affecting the Leased Premises.

21.3 Lease Continues. If this lease continues after any taking, this lease shall remain unaffected except:

(a) The rent shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the net annual base rent determined in accordance with Section 4.2 above immediately prior to the partial taking as the rental value of the part of the Premises taken bears to the rental value of the whole Premises immediately prior to such taking. If the parties shall not agree on the amount of such new rent or the factual basis thereof, the matter shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 33. Until the new fixed rent and additional rent shall have been determined, Tenant shall continue to pay rent at the rate otherwise specified and upon such determination, an appropriate adjustment shall be made and Tenant shall receive credit for any overpayment.

(b) Landlord shall, promptly after the taking and at Landlord’s expense, restore the Building or other improvements to a complete architectural unit; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be responsible for the replacement of any Tenant’s Improvements or property of Tenant.

(c) Landlord shall be entitled to the award and for any consequential damages to and diminution of the Premises not taken; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to that part of any award that relates to Tenant’s Improvements or other property of Tenant.

21.4. Easement. In the event of the taking of an easement or any other taking which shall be of an interest or estate in the land less than a fee simple (other than a taking for temporary use mentioned in Section 21.5), as a result of which the remainder of the Premises shall be insufficient for the economic and commercially feasible operation by Tenant, this lease shall terminate and expire with the same force and effect as in the case of a taking pursuant to Section 21.1. Otherwise, such taking shall be deemed a taking insufficient to terminate this lease, and the division of the award shall be governed by Section 21.3 insofar as that Section shall be applicable. Any part of an award for change of grade which shall remain unexpended after such restoration shall be the property of Landlord. If any award shall include change of grade and any other item or element of damage, that part which shall be specifically attributed to change of grade shall be applied in accordance with this Section by the court or other body authorized to make the award or, if not so attributed, shall be determined by agreement between the parties or by arbitration pursuant to Section 33.

21.5. Temporary Use. In the event of a taking of all or a part of the Premises for temporary use, this lease shall continue without change, as between Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant shall be entitled to the award made for such use, provided that:

(a) the award shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of the expiration of the then current Term; and provided, further that if any such award shall be in a lump sum or in installments covering a period of time greater than three months, Tenant shall be entitled to a sum equal to a maximum of three months’ rent and the balance of such award shall be deposited with Landlord (or with an authorized institution as selected by Tenant) for payment to Tenant in equal quarter-annual installments; and

(b) Tenant shall be entitled to file and prosecute any claim against the condemning authority for damages and to recover the same, for any negligent use, waste or injury to the demised premises throughout the balance of the then current term of this lease. The amount of damages so recovered shall be paid directly to Landlord and shall be distributed in the same manner as provided in Section 22 with respect to proceeds of insurance.

21.6. Disputes. In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any issue of fact (other than one determined by the condemnation court or condemnation commissioner or other body authorized to make the award) arising out of a taking described in this Section 21, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 33.

22. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES.

22.1 In the event the building on the Leased Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty or disaster Landlord shall promptly and diligently cause the same to be substantially restored to the prior existing condition (with any additional improvements required by virtue of any changes in ordinances, or building codes) within one hundred eighty (180) days after commencement of such repairs and in no event more than two hundred twenty (220) days after the occurrence of such damage, using contractors and suppliers at its sole discretion; provided, however, that if Tenant has failed to maintain insurance which complies with the provisions of Section 9 above, any costs of restoration not covered by insurance shall be paid by Tenant; and provided, further, however that if Tenant has maintained insurance which complies with the provisions of Section 9 above, any costs of restoration which exceed the proceeds of insurance shall be paid by Landlord. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that an abatement of Rent and other charges under this Lease shall be allowed Tenant for such part of the Premises as shall be rendered unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business during the time as such part is so unusable, as determined by the agreement of Landlord and Tenant, or, if they are unable to agree, by arbitration in accordance with Section 33; provided that if the space rendered unusable is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably operate its business from the Premises, as reasonably determined by Tenant, then the Rent and other charges under this Lease shall abate completely until all repairs are complete. If such repairs cannot be made within the time periods above, or if the estimate of the cost of making such repairs exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the value of the Premises, either party may elect, upon written notice to the other

within sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty, to terminate this Lease, in which event this Lease shall terminate and all Rent shall be prorated as of the date of the casualty. In the event that any casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the then current Term of this Lease which casualty will, in Tenant’s reasonable opinion, not be repaired in time to return the Premises to Tenant with at least nine (9) months remaining under the Term, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty and all Rent shall be prorated as of the date of the casualty. The net insurance proceeds which are payable in case of any casualty resulting in damage or destruction to the Leased Premises shall be received by Landlord, for the sole purpose of paying for the costs of repairing, restoring, or rebuilding the property so damaged by fire or other risks covered by the insurance, and the costs of making temporary repairs, or doing such work as may be necessary to protect the leased property against further injury. If, however, the improvements on the Leased Premises are damaged to the extent of more than fifty percent (50%) of their then value during the last six (6) months of the Term, or any extended or renewal term, and the damage is covered under insurance maintained by Tenant meeting the requirement of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease by notice in writing to the other given within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty effective as of the date of the notice. In the event this Lease is canceled, all insurance proceeds attributable to the damage to the Building shall become the property of Landlord and all such proceeds attributable to the interruption of Tenant’s business, the damage to Tenant’s property, or similar coverages shall become the property of Tenant. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 22, in the event that the Building is damaged, or destroyed by fire, casualty or disaster and Tenant is required to pay amounts for the replacement or repairs in excess of any insurance proceeds, and the useful life of the improvements is greater than the then remaining term of the Lease, including any extensions, Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for a period equal to: (a) the total consideration paid by Tenant in excess of the insurance proceeds, divided by (b) the annual lease payments in the prior Lease Year, multiplied by (c) three (3), and the resulting total equals the number of years Tenant shall be allowed the option to extend the Lease. For example, if the prior year’s annual base rental under subsection 4.2 above was $403,200.00 and Tenant is obligated to pay $2,000,000 to repair or replace the Premises above and beyond the proceeds of property insurance, then Tenant would divide $2,000,000 by the prior lease year annual lease expense of $403,200 for a total of 4.96. Tenant would then multiply 4.96 times Three (3) for a total of 14.88, and Tenant would have the option to lease the Premises for an additional 14.88 years beyond the Original Term and any option terms. This additional term shall be in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

22.2 A total destruction of the Premises shall automatically terminate this Lease. For purposes of this Section 22.2, “total destruction” shall mean any damage that renders at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises untenantable as reasonably determined by Tenant, and the time to repair the Premises is reasonably likely to take more than two-hundred twenty (220) days to complete (from the date of casualty) as reasonably determined by Tenant.

23. NOTICES.

23.1 Tenant. (a) All notices, demands and requests which may or are required to be given by either party to the other shall be in writing.

or such other place as Landlord may, from time to time, subsequently designate in a written notice to Tenant.

23.4 Third Parties. Each of the parties will promptly submit a copy of any notice received by such party from any third person affecting the rights of either party under this Lease.

24. DEFAULT.

24.1 Default Notice. If Tenant fails to pay any rental or other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice of non-payment has been given to Tenant by Landlord; or if Tenant or Landlord defaults in the performance of any other of the terms, conditions or covenants contained in this Lease to be observed or performed by it and does not remedy the default within thirty (30) days after written notice (or, in the case of an default which cannot be remedied within that time, does not commence the remedy within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue it to completion), or if Tenant abandons the Leased Premises, or a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed by or against Tenant or Landlord and is not dismissed within 120 days thereafter, then in each such event the party in question shall be in default under this Lease.

24.2 Remedies. In the event that either party is in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under this Lease, the party not in default shall have the right to terminate and to cancel this Lease by a written notice to that effect; provided, however, that Tenant shall not have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease unless and until it shall have given written notice by registered or certified mail of the default by Landlord to the holder or holders of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Leased Premises and afforded such a mortgagee or trustee the same time and opportunity afforded Landlord to cure the default, including time to take possession of the premises by an expeditious trustee’s sale or foreclosure action, if this should be necessary to effect the cure.

24.3 Landlord’s Remedies. If Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord, without excluding any other rights or remedies that it may have, shall have the immediate right to take any one or more of the following actions:

a) to re-enter the Leased Premises and remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises, or

b) to cancel this Lease effective immediately or to cancel the same effective as of any date which Landlord may select, or

c) to seek past due installments of rent one or more times, without prejudice, reserving the right to proceed later for remaining installments.

24.4 Cancellation. In the event Landlord exercises the right to cancel this Lease, then:

a) Landlord shall use reasonable efforts, as soon as the cancellation is effective, to re-enter the Leased Premises and re-let the same for such price and on such terms as may be immediately available, without notice or court proceedings, Tenant assenting to and expressly waiving the necessity of any notice to vacate;

b) In the event Landlord relets the Premises, all payments of Base Rent by the new tenant shall apply to future payments of Base Rent that become due from Tenant, if any; and

c) In the event Landlord relets the Premises at a rate in excess of the Base Rent hereunder, such excess shall be held by Landlord until the expiration of the Term (as determined if no default had occurred) and apply such excess to future payments of Base Rent that become due from Tenant, if any; and

d) Notwithstanding the cancellation of this Lease, Tenant shall be and remain liable not only for all rent payable to the date the cancellation becomes effective but also for all damages or loss, including reasonable attorney’s fees, suffered by Landlord for the remaining term of this Lease resulting from such cancellation. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to consequential or punitive damages.

24.5 (a) If Landlord fails to perform or observe any covenant or condition to be performed or observed by Landlord under this Lease, such failure shall constitute a default under this Lease and Tenant has the right to notify Landlord in writing of such default and thereafter Landlord shall cure such default within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice. If the default by Landlord requires cure in less than thirty (30) days due to an emergency situation as determined by Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to provide a shorter cure period as is appropriate under the circumstances known to Tenant.

(b) If the action(s) to be performed or observed by Landlord (other than in connection with an emergency) is (are) of such a nature that Landlord cannot reasonably be expected to complete such action(s) within thirty (30) days, then Landlord shall have such additional time to take such action(s) as may be reasonably needed under the circumstances and Landlord shall not be in default under the Lease so long as Landlord proceeds in good faith and diligently and continuously pursues such cure to completion within sixty (60) days.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to cure any default of Landlord under this Lease which has continued beyond any applicable cure period and be reimbursed by Landlord therefor together with interest at the Prime Rate then in effect and announced as such in the Wall Street Journal plus 5% and Tenant shall also have the right to terminate this Lease in the event that Tenant does not elect to cure on Landlord’s behalf or in the event that Landlord fails to cure within the cure period set forth in this Section 24.5 by delivery of written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to set off against any and all rent and other charges under this Lease any and all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by Tenant in connection with a default by Landlord hereunder or Tenant’s cure of such default, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees. Any amounts not reimbursed to Tenant upon demand shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate then in effect and announced as such in the Wall Street Journal plus 5%.

25. CONTINUED LIABILITY FOR RENT. Tenant agrees that no surrender of the Leased Premises, and no action taken on the part of Landlord to repossess the Leased Premises, shall release or relieve Tenant of its continued liability for the payment of rent, unless such release is evidenced in writing by Landlord.

26. WAIVERS. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any default on the part of Tenant or Landlord nor any extension of time by Landlord or Tenant to Tenant or Landlord for any purpose whatsoever shall affect the obligations of the Guarantor or be held or deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions or terms of this Lease or of any default subsequently occurring and no termination of this Lease in any manner shall affect the rights of the parties against each other as of the time of such termination.

27. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

27.1 Grant. If Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under this Lease and if permitted under the terms of any laws or rules applicable to Landlord, at any time that Landlord determines to and is legally empowered to sell the Premises or receives an offer to purchase the Premises upon terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord, Tenant shall have the first right to purchase the premises upon the terms and conditions selected by Landlord, or upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in any bonafide offer to purchase acceptable to or accepted by Landlord subject to Tenant’s rights under this Section 27.1.

27.2 Manner of Exercising Right of First Refusal. At any time Landlord decides to sell the Premises, or receives an offer to purchase upon terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant in the manner provided above. Within ten (10) business days after this notice, Tenant may give written notice to Landlord of its intention to purchase upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the notice.

27.3 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase of the Property shall mean the date on which the Property is sold to Tenant by Landlord. The Closing date shall be set by the mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant for a date which is not later than ninety (90) days after the date the Right of First Refusal is exercised, or the date for Closing contained in the acceptable offer to purchase, whichever shall be sooner.


27.4	Title Matters.


a)	Type. Landlord shall convey to Tenant or its nominee, the title to the Premises by a good and sufficient recordable special warranty deed.

Evidence of Title. Landlord shall provide at its expense within not more than thirty (30) days after date of exercise of Right of First Refusal a title commitment for an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy, issued by a title insurance company acceptable to Tenant having terms and exceptions which are consistent with those of the acceptable third party offer, or if none, with the standard general exceptions for mechanics’ liens and unrecorded leases deleted (the “Title Policy”) in the amount of the Purchase Price, covering the title to the Premises on or after the date of this Agreement, showing title in Landlord. The title commitment shall be conclusive evidence that the quality or state of title is as it describes as to all matters insured by the policy,

subject only to the exceptions stated in the commitment. Within ten (10) days after receiving the Title Policy, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of any title exceptions which are unpermitted exceptions.


27.5	Closing Procedure.


a)	Landlord’s Instruments. At Closing, Landlord shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Tenant a duly executed and acknowledged Special Warranty Deed conveying the Premises to Tenant or its nominee.

28. ATTORNEY’S FEES. In the event of any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, by either of the Parties against the other by reason of any manner or thing arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party shall recover not only its legal costs but also its reasonable attorney’s fees and other litigation expenses.

29. APPROVALS AND CONSENTS. Whenever any approval or consent is required by either Party, the Parties agree that such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

30. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and agreements contained in this Lease shall extend to, be binding on, and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

31. APPLICABLE LAW. The laws of the State of Illinois shall be employed in the interpretation of any of the covenants of this Lease, and Landlord and Tenant expressly consent to venue in Winnebago County, Illinois, in any action arising under this Lease.

32. ENTIRE BINDING AGREEMENT. This Lease together with the Exhibits, if any, contains all of the agreements between the parties to this Lease and it may not be modified in any manner other than by agreement in writing signed by all the Parties or their successors in interest.

33. ARBITRATION. All disputes between Landlord and Tenant arising under this lease shall be resolved by arbitration in the following manner:

Any party shall give a written notice (the Notice) to the other specifying the dispute, question or controversy and stating in concise terms the position of that party. Within ten (10) days after the date of the Notice the parties shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator, and the parties shall submit to that arbitrator a concise written statement of their positions relating to the matter. The “First Decision Date” shall mean the date which is twenty (20) days from the date that the arbitrator receives the parties’ statements of position. If the parties fail to agree upon an arbitrator within the initial ten (10) day period, or if the arbitrator fails to make a decision by the First Decision Date, then within ten days after the First Decision Date the party giving notice and the remaining party shall each appoint an arbitrator and shall submit to each arbitrator a concise statement of their positions. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on a decision resolving the dispute within twenty (20) days after the First Decision Date, the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator within twenty‑five (25) days after that date, and the dispute shall be resolved by the agreement of any two of the arbitrators within forty-five (45) days after the First Decision Date. The decision of the arbitrators designated or selected in accordance with this paragraph shall be conclusive on the parties. In the event that any party fails to appoint an arbitrator when required to do so under the provisions of this paragraph (except the appointment of the one mutually agreeable arbitrator within the first five‑day period), the decision of the arbitrator appointed shall be conclusive on all parties. In the event that all parties fail to appoint the arbitrators in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph or in the event that the arbitrators are unable to make a decision for any reason, the dispute shall be settled in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association.

35. MEMORANDUM. Tenant reserves the right to record a general memorandum of this Lease describing the parties to the lease and the lease duration and location of the Premises.

36. SEVERABILITY. Should any part, term or provision of this Lease contravene, or be invalid under, the laws of the United States of America, the State in which the Premises is situated, or any political subdivision thereof, such contravention, or invalidity shall not invalidate any other provision of this Lease, and the Lease shall be construed as if not containing the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid, and this Lease shall be amended to include a part, term or provision that covers the same subject matter as the invalid provision and is as close to being the same provision as possible without contravening or being invalid with respect to the particular law in question.

37. HEADINGS. The headings contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be used to define, explain, modify or aid in the interpretation or construction of the contents hereof.

38. INTEGRATION; MODIFICATION. This Lease, and any rider or Exhibit thereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties, and contains all of the agreements among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Lease supersedes any and all agreements, either oral or in writing, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject hereof, including, for the avoidance of doubt, that certain Lease Agreement by and between Landlord and William Charles Construction Company, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, dated February 1, 2017. This Lease may not be amended, altered or modified except by a written instrument signed by both Landlord and Tenant.

39. CONSTRUCTION. The language in all parts of this Lease shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and without implying a presumption that the terms in the Lease shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the person who himself or through his agent prepared the Lease, it being agreed that representatives of both parties have reviewed and participated in the preparation of the Lease.

40. COMPUTATION OF TIME. All periods of time referred to in this Lease shall include all Saturdays, Sundays and state or federal holidays; provided, however, that if the date or last day to perform any act or give any notice with respect to this Lease shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or state or federal holiday, such act or notice shall be timely performed if given on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, state or federal holiday. Time is of the essence for all rights and obligations under this Lease.

41. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. The signature and acknowledgment page from one or more counterparts may be detached for filing with any other executed counterparts of this Lease.

42. NO AGENCY. The parties agree that the business relationship created under this Lease is solely that of Landlord and Tenant. Nothing contained in the Lease shall constitute Tenant as an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary, joint venturer or other business relationship between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall have no right or power to and shall not bind or obligate Landlord in any way, manner or thing whatsoever, nor represent that it has the right to do so.

43. AUTHORITY. The persons signing this Lease on behalf of Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant that they have the legal right and authority to sign the Lease on behalf of the party he is signing for, and that no other signature or action is required in order to bind such party to the terms of this Lease.

44. LANDLORD WAIVER AND CONSENT. Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that to the extent it now or hereafter would have any right to a lien or landlord-lien on any of Tenant’s property, Landlord fully and unconditionally waives and releases such lien. Furthermore, within ten (10) days after request by Tenant, Landlord shall execute a form of waiver and consent as required by Tenant’s lender, which will, among other things, permit such lender to access and remove any of Tenant’s personal property from the Premises.

45. BROKERS. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that it has not engaged the services of any real estate broker or agent in any way connected with this transaction. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any claims for a commission or other fee due as a result of this transaction due to the act(s) or omissions of one party. This provision shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

46. STAND-ALONE FACILITY. Landlord represents and warrants that the Premises are (i) subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, obligations, and easements contained in Section X of Guilford Square Plat No. 2 Declaration of Protective Covenants for Guilford Square Office Park (“Declaration”); (ii) is a part of the Guilford Square Office Park Association (“Association”), (iii) is a stand-alone facility that is separately taxed and assessed with all utilities available and separately metered, (iv) except as provided in this Section, is not part of a larger overall development, and (v) except for dues, assessments, or other impositions under the Declaration of the Association, the Premises are not subject to any cost-sharing, contribution or any other financial arrangement or agreement involving any other property with respect to common area maintenance costs, insurance costs, taxes, utilities and/or any other costs or fees (collectively, the “Non-Stand-Alone Costs”). Landlord shall hold Tenant harmless, and indemnify Tenant, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, causes of action, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by or asserted against Tenant (or the Premises) as a result of or arising out of any Non-Stand-Alone Costs or any breach of the foregoing warranties.

47. PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Nothing contained herein is intended to modify, limit or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnifications contained in the Purchase Agreement, and such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnifications shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

48. GUARANTY. For so long as Tenant has any obligations under this Lease, Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees all such obligations of Tenant under this Lease. In the event of a default under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty against either or both of Guarantor and Tenant directly as primary obligors hereunder, and during the Term, the interests of the Guarantor shall be subject to the same limitations, conditions, and Landlord rights as those of the Tenant.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, WC Ltd., each of the other Sellers party thereto, Purchaser, the Acquired Companies party thereto and WC Ltd. in its capacity as Sellers’ Representative have entered into that certain Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Sellers have agreed to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser has agreed to purchase and acquire from Sellers, all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in the Acquired Companies, as more fully described therein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, WC Ltd. and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Definitions

Section 1.01 Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, each of WC Ltd. (and its subsidiaries and affiliates) and Purchaser (and its subsidiaries), when providing the applicable Services, is referred to herein as the “Provider” in its capacity as the provider of such Services, and each of WC Ltd. (including its affiliates) and Purchaser (including the Acquired Companies), when receiving the applicable Services, is referred to as the “Recipient” in its capacity as the recipient of such Services.

ARTICLE II

Services

Section 2.01 Provision of Services.

(a)The Provider agrees to provide, or to cause its subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable, to provide, the services (the “Services”) set forth on the exhibits attached hereto (as such exhibits may be amended or supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the “Service Exhibits”) to the Recipient for the respective periods and on the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the respective Service Exhibits. The Provider shall perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Provider, directly or indirectly through one or more affiliates, shall have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all or part of any Service hereunder.

(b)Notwithstanding the contents of the Service Exhibits, to the extent that WC Ltd. and Purchaser mutually agree, the applicable Provider shall, in addition to the Services, provide, and cause its subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable, to provide, such additional services to the applicable Recipient as set forth on a supplemental exhibit signed by each of WC Ltd. and Purchaser and referencing this Agreement, with the scope, term, costs and other terms and conditions applicable to such services to be mutually agreed upon after good faith negotiations between the parties. Any such additional services so provided by the applicable Provider (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable) shall constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respect to the provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth on a Service Exhibit as of the date hereof.

(c)Subject to Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, the obligations of the Provider under this Agreement to provide Services shall terminate with respect to each Service on the end date specified in the applicable Service Exhibit (the “End Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Recipient may determine from time to time that it does not require all the Services provided to such Recipient set out on one or more of the Service Exhibits or that it does not require such Services for the entire period up to the applicable End Date. Accordingly, the Recipient may terminate any such Service, in whole and not in part, upon fifteen (15) days’ (or such longer period as may be set forth in the Services Exhibits with respect to a particular Service) prior notification to the Provider in writing of any such determination.

Section 2.02 Access to Premises. In order to enable the provision of the Services by the Provider, upon reasonable notice to the Recipient, the Recipient agrees that it shall provide to the Provider’s and its subsidiaries’ employees and any third-party service providers or subcontractors who provide Services, at no cost to the Provider, reasonable access to the facilities, assets and books and records of the Recipient, in each case solely to the extent necessary for the Provider to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 2.03 Consents, Permissions or Approvals. Except as may be more specifically set forth in the Service Exhibits, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any third-party consents, permissions or approvals are required to be obtained in order for the Provider to satisfy its obligations to provide, or cause its subsidiaries or affiliates to provide, any Services, the Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, permissions or approvals, and, if still not obtained, the Provider will continue to provide, and cause its subsidiaries or affiliates to

provide, services to the Recipient that are substantially similar to the Services for which such consent, permission or approval was sought but not obtained, without any unreasonable disruption to any systems or functions that are material to the operation of the Recipient’s business.

Section 2.04 Title to Equipment, Management and Control. All procedures, methods, systems, strategies, tools, equipment, facilities and other resources owned and used by the Provider and any of its affiliates in connection with the provision of Services (collectively, the “Equipment”) will remain the property of such Provider and its affiliates and will at all times be under the sole direction and control of such Provider and its affiliates. Management of, and control over, the provision of Services (including the determination or designation at any time of the Equipment, employees, vendors, suppliers, contractors and other resources of the Provider and its affiliates to be used in connection with the provision of the Services) will reside solely with such Provider. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all matters relating to labor relations between or among the Provider and its subsidiaries and any employee(s) thereof will be within the exclusive control of such Provider and its affiliates, and the Recipient will take no action affecting such matter.

ARTICLE III

Compensation

Section 3.01 Terms of Payment and Related Matters.

(d)As consideration for provision of the Services, the Recipient shall pay to the Provider the amount specified for each Service on such Service’s respective Service Exhibit, and shall reimburse the Provider for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the Services. If a charge is not expressly set forth for a particular Service in this Agreement, the Service shall be provided free of charge during the transition period for that particular Service.

(e)As more fully provided in the Service Exhibits and subject to the terms and conditions therein:

(i)The Provider shall provide the Recipient, in accordance with Section 7.01 of this Agreement, with monthly invoices (“Invoices”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail amounts payable under this Agreement (including supporting documentation for any third-party costs and expenses incurred); and

(ii)payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Recipient to the Provider, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of an Invoice. In addition to any other remedies for non-payment, if any undisputed payment is not received by the Provider on or before the date such amount is due, then a late payment interest charge, calculated at 2.0% per annum rate, shall immediately begin to accrue and any such late payment interest charges shall become immediately due and payable in addition to the amount otherwise owed under this Agreement.

Section 3.02 Extension of Services. The parties agree that the Provider shall not be obligated to perform any Service after the applicable End Date; provided, however, that if the Recipient desires and the Provider agrees to continue to perform any of the Services after the applicable End Date, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an amount that compensates the Provider for all of its costs and expenses for such performance. The Services so performed by the Provider after the applicable End Date shall continue to constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed-upon extension period.

Section 3.03 Terminated Services. Upon termination or expiration of any or all Services pursuant to this Agreement, or upon the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, the Provider shall have no further obligation to provide the applicable terminated Services and the Recipient will have no obligation to pay any future compensation relating to such Services (other than for or in respect of Services already provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and received by the Recipient prior to such termination).

Section 3.04 Invoice Disputes. In the event of an Invoice dispute, the Recipient shall deliver a written statement to the Provider no later than five (5) days prior to the date payment is due on the disputed Invoice listing all disputed items and providing a reasonably detailed description of each disputed item. Amounts not so disputed shall be deemed accepted and shall be paid, notwithstanding disputes on other items, within the period set forth in Section 3.01(b). The Provider shall provide to the Recipient, or shall cause its affiliates to so provide, any records relating to the disputed amount which are reasonably requested by the Recipient, and the parties shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously and in good faith. When the disputed amount has been resolved, either by mutual agreement of the parties or by a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, the party owing any amount to another party shall pay such amount owed to such other party within five (5) days of such resolution.

Section 3.05 No Right of Setoff

. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges that it shall have no right under this Agreement to offset any amounts owed (or to become due and owing) to the other party, whether under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, against any other amount owed (or to become due and owing) to it by the other party.

Section 3.06 Taxes. The Recipient shall be responsible for all sales, use, excise, value-added, goods and services, and other similar taxes, levies and charges (“Sales Taxes”) imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider to the Recipient. If the Provider or any of its subsidiaries is required to pay such Sales Taxes, the Provider shall set forth the amount of such Sales Taxes separately on the Invoice and the Recipient shall reimburse the Provider in accordance with the provisions in Section 3.01.

ARTICLE IV

Termination

Section 4.01 Termination of Agreement. Subject to Section 4.04, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety (i) on the date upon which WC Ltd. and Purchaser shall have no continuing obligation to perform any Services as a result of each of their expiration or termination in accordance with Section 2.01(c) or Section 4.02 or by mutual agreement of the parties or (ii) in accordance with Section 4.03.

Section 4.02 Breach. Any party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Service at any time upon prior written notice to the other party (the “Breaching Party”) if the Breaching Party has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Service, and such failure shall have continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Breaching Party of a written notice of such failure from the Non-Breaching party seeking to terminate such Service. For the avoidance of doubt, non-payment by the Recipient for a Service provided by the Provider in accordance with this Agreement and not the subject of a good-faith dispute shall be deemed a breach for purposes of this Section 4.02.

Section 4.03 Insolvency. In the event that either party hereto shall (i) file a petition in bankruptcy, (ii) become or be declared insolvent, or become the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within sixty (60) days) related to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver, (iii) make an assignment on behalf of all or substantially all of its creditors, or (iv) take any corporate action for its winding up or dissolution, then the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice in accordance with Section 7.01.

Section 4.04 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 4.01, all obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate, except for the provisions of Section 3.03, Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Article V, Article VI and Article VII, which shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Each party hereto shall use the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, to protect the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like nature. Unless otherwise authorized in any other agreement between the parties, any party receiving any Confidential Information of the other party (the “Receiving Party”) may use Confidential Information only for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement (the “Permitted Purpose”). Any Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information only to its Representatives who have a need to know such information for the Permitted Purpose and who have been advised of the terms of this Section 5.01 and the Receiving Party shall be liable for any breach of these confidentiality provisions by such Persons; provided, however, that any Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information in connection with enforcing the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement, or to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed under Law, and in the latter case the Receiving Party shall promptly notify, to the extent possible, the disclosing party (the “Disclosing Party”), and take reasonable steps at the Disclosing Party’s expense to assist in contesting such Law or in protecting the Disclosing Party’s rights prior to disclosure, and in which case the Receiving Party shall only disclose such Confidential Information that it is legally bound to disclose under such Law.

(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) was generally available to the public or publicly known at the time of disclosure to it, or has become publicly known through no act of the Receiving Party or its Representatives in breach of this Section 5.01; (ii) was rightfully received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (iii) was developed by it independently without any reliance on the Confidential Information; or (iv) was already in the possession of the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party.

(h)Upon demand by the Disclosing Party at any time, or upon expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service, the Receiving Party agrees promptly to return or destroy, at the Receiving Party’s option, all Confidential Information. If such Confidential Information is destroyed, an authorized officer of the Receiving Party shall certify to such destruction in writing.

(i)During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Section 5.01 and the terms of Section 6.07 of the Purchase Agreement (or any other terms of confidentiality set forth in the Purchase Agreement) which apply to the same subject matter, the terms of this Section 5.01 shall govern and control.
