If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve in writing all items disputed by Seller in the Protest Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after Buyer’s receipt of the Protest Notice, then either Seller or Buyer shall have the right to cause the Parties to jointly engage Grant Thornton Advisors LLC, or if such firm is unable or unwilling to accept its appointment, an independent nationally recognized accounting firm with experience in such matters and that is mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer (in either case, the “Accounting Firm”), to resolve the remaining disputed items. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert (and not an arbitrator) to determine, based solely on presentations and submissions by Seller and Buyer and not by independent review, only those items still in dispute, in each case, in accordance with the applicable definitions set forth herein and the Accounting Principles (and not with the use or introduction of any other accounting principles, practices, policies, procedures, conventions, classifications, estimation techniques, judgments or methodologies).

In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the maximum value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the minimum value of such item claimed by either Party. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm in its written decision will be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. Judgment may be entered upon the written decision of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller (as determined by the Accounting Firm) so that Seller’s share of such fees and expenses shall be equal to the product of (i) the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by Seller and the denominator of which is the

total amount in dispute submitted to the Accounting Firm. The balance of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by Buyer. All other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 2.5, including fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, shall be borne and paid by the Party incurring such expense. The term “Final Closing Schedule,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean the Actual Closing Schedule if deemed final in accordance with Section 2.5(d) or the definitive Final Closing Schedule agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer or resulting from the determinations made by the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 2.5(e).

(i)    if the Estimated Closing Amount is greater than the Actual Closing Amount, then such difference, up to the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Deposit, shall be disbursed from the Adjustment Escrow Account to Buyer;

(ii)    if the Estimated Closing Amount is less than the Actual Closing Amount, then Buyer shall pay to Seller such difference, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller; or

(iii)    if the Estimated Closing Amount is equal to the Actual Closing Amount, neither Buyer nor Seller shall owe any monies to the other Party in connection with the determination of the Actual Closing Amount.

(g)    Adjustment Escrow. Within five (5) calendar days after the determination of the Final Closing Schedule, Buyer and Seller shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to disburse all of the funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account as follows: (i) to Buyer, the amount (if any) payable to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.5(f)(i) and (ii) to Seller the remaining funds (if any) in the Adjustment Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller.

(h)    Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except in cases of Fraud (i) the process and adjustment set forth in this Section 2.5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to items required hereunder to be included or reflected in the calculation of the Actual Closing Amount (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall it be used to seek recourse for any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties in Article III) and (ii) Buyer’s right to receive a disbursement from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.5(f)(i) shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event that the Actual Closing Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Amount (and in no event shall any Buyer Related Party have any remedy, recourse or entitlement whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, against any Seller Related Party with respect thereto).

(i)    CAD Adjustment. For purposes of calculating the Estimated Closing Amount and the Actual Closing Amount under this Agreement, the following shall apply: (i) the calculations of Estimated Net Working Capital and Net Working Capital shall be made in CAD,

(ii) the difference between Estimated Working Capital or Net Working Capital, as applicable, and Target Working Capital shall be determined in CAD, and (iii) such difference shall be converted to U.S. dollars in accordance with Section 9.14(m) for purposes of the final presentation of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Actual Closing Statement, as applicable.

Each Buyer Related Party and each of its designees (as applicable, the “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. Except in the event of a failure to deliver the documentation described in Section 2.4(a)(xvii), the applicable Withholding Agent shall (i) notify Seller in writing of its intention to deduct or withhold Taxes with respect to any payment to Seller no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of the payment giving rise to any such deduction or withholding, and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates (at Seller’s expense) to minimize any such deduction and withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld (and unless such amounts are not subsequently paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity within the statutorily required period), such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

6.1    Access to Books and Records. Buyer shall maintain until the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date the Books and Records relating to pre-Closing periods in substantially the same manner such Books and Records are maintained immediately prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing, Buyer shall provide Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access, upon prior reasonable written request, at Seller’s sole cost and expense and during regular business hours, to (a) the officers and employees of the Acquired Companies and (b) the Books and Records, but, in each case, only to the extent relating to the assets, liabilities or business of any Acquired Company prior to the Closing, and Seller and its Representatives shall have the right to make copies of such Books and Records; provided, that (i) Seller and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Acquired Companies and (ii) none of Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies shall be obligated to provide such access or information to the extent that (A) doing so would violate any applicable Law or expose such Person to any liability for disclosure of any Personal Information, (B) any such information, documents or materials are subject to an attorney-client, attorney work product or other evidentiary privilege or protection or (C) Buyer determines in good faith, in light of any Public Health Matter or any Public Health Measures, that doing so would jeopardize the health and safety of any Employee; provided, further that in the case of any access or information withheld pursuant to this clause (ii), Buyer shall identify any such withheld access or information to Seller at such time and use its commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the substance of such access or information to Seller via an alternative method.

6.2    Indemnification; Directors and Officers Insurance.

(a)    From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause each of the Acquired Companies to, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each individual who on or prior to the Closing Date was a director, manager or officer of any

Acquired Company (each, a “Covered Party”) against all Suits, claims, Liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, Taxes, penalties, fees, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses) incurred or suffered by such Covered Party arising out of or relating to any act or omission of such Covered Party in their capacity as a director, manager, officer, employee, trustee or fiduciary of any Acquired Company or any plan for the benefit of any Employees or any acts or omissions taken at the request of any Acquired Company, in each case, at any time prior to or on the Closing Date (including the negotiation, entry into, performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents). Buyer shall prohibit each Acquired Company from settling, compromising or consenting to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Suit with respect to which a Covered Party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of such Covered Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such Covered Party is given an express and unconditional full release of any and all Liability by all relevant parties. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not modify or limit, any other rights any Covered Party may have under any Organizational Document, insurance policy, Contract or Law.

(b)    For a period of not less than six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Organizational Documents of each Acquired Company to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification, contribution, advancement of expenses or reimbursement of the Covered Parties than are set forth in their respective Organizational Documents as of the date hereof. Buyer agrees that all rights of the Covered Parties to exculpation, indemnification, contribution, advancement of expenses or reimbursement with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing pursuant to any Organizational Document of any Acquired Company as in effect on the date hereof shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(c)    For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the applicable Seller Related Party to (i) maintain in full force and effect, and to continue to honor the obligations under, the existing directors’ and officers’ liability Insurance Policy covering events, acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, for all Covered Parties, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to claim for and obtain recovery under such Insurance Policy in the event Buyer is required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless a Covered Party after Closing in accordance with Section 6.2(a), and promptly remit any recovered amounts thereunder to Buyer.

(d)    Buyer hereby acknowledges that certain Covered Parties may have rights to indemnification, contribution, advancement of expenses, reimbursement and/or insurance provided by Persons other than the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”). Buyer hereby agrees (i) that the Acquired Companies are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the Covered Party are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors are secondary) and (ii) the Acquired Companies shall be required to indemnify and advance expenses to any Covered Party to the extent required by the terms of this Agreement, the applicable Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies, any other applicable

indemnification agreements or arrangements as in effect as of the date of this Agreement and/or applicable Law, without regard to any rights the Covered Party may have against the Other Indemnitors or any insurance provided thereby; provided, however, that this Section 6.2(d) shall not apply to the extent of Fraud by an Other Indemnitor. Buyer further agrees that no advancement or payment by an Other Indemnitor on behalf of a Covered Party with respect to any claim for which a Covered Party has sought indemnification from an Acquired Company shall affect the foregoing and the applicable Other Indemnitor shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Covered Party against such Acquired Company.

(e)    In the event Buyer or any Acquired Company (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing entity after such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, commercially reasonable efforts shall be taken so that such continuing entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2.

6.3    Tax Matters.

(a)    Allocation of Straddle Period Tax Liability. For all purposes under this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the portion of Taxes (or any Tax refund and amount credited against any Tax) that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be: (i) in the case of property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis without regard to income, payroll, gross receipts or sales, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes (or Tax refund or amount credited against Tax) for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the end of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in such entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined on a closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date.

(b)    Tax Refunds; Tax Reduction Benefit.

(i)    Any refunds of Taxes paid by any of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing that are received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies), in each case, which are described in Schedule 6.3(b) (each, a “Tax Refund”) shall be for the account of Seller.

(ii)    Seller shall be entitled to the amount, if any, equal to the actual reduction in the cumulative Tax liability of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) for any Post-Closing Tax Period to the extent attributable to a Closing Year NOL (any such reduction amount, a “Tax Reduction Benefit”). Any such Tax Reduction Benefit shall be calculated on a country-by-country basis by measuring the difference between (A) the cumulative liability of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries for Taxes through the relevant Post-Closing Tax Period excluding the Closing Year NOL and (B) the cumulative liability of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries for Taxes through such taxable period calculated by taking into account the Closing Year NOL; provided that for

purposes of determining any Tax Reduction Benefit, it shall be assumed that the Buyer and its Subsidiaries eligible to join such group are members of an affiliated group of corporations of which the common parent is the Buyer filing a consolidated return for U.S. federal income tax purposes and taking into account all applicable limitations on the utilization of the Closing Year NOL (including for the avoidance of doubt, Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-21(c)) and that Buyer and tis Subsidiaries recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and use all other net operating loss carryforwards and carrybacks and all other carryforwards, carrybacks and other tax attributes, whether now existing or hereafter available, before deducting or utilizing any Closing Year NOL or realizing or receiving any Tax Reduction Benefit.

(c)    Buyer shall pay over to Seller, as additional consideration for the Securities, any such Tax Refund or Tax Reduction Benefit (in each case, net of any Taxes imposed on the receipt or realization of any Tax Refund and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining or realizing any such refund or benefit) within ten (10) Business Days after (i) in the case of a Tax Reduction Benefit, the actual filing of the Tax Return related to such Tax Reduction Benefit, or (ii) in the case of a Tax Refund, the actual receipt thereof or filing a Tax Return claiming a credit against future Tax liability in lieu of such Tax Refund. No later than ten (10) Business Days following the filing by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries of any Tax Return on which a Closing Year NOL could be used to obtain a Tax Reduction Benefit, the Buyer shall provide Seller with a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of Buyer setting out the computation of the Tax Reduction Benefit with respect to such Tax Return.

(d)    At Seller’s written request (and sole expense), Buyer shall timely and properly prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, any claim for a Tax Refund, amended Tax Return, or other Tax Return reasonably required to obtain a Tax Refund, in each case, solely to the extent that (i) such Tax Refund is available under applicable Law to be claimed at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of comfort), and (ii) such claim for a Tax Refund, amended Tax Return, or other Tax Return could not reasonably be expected to have more than a de minimis adverse effect on Buyer in any Post-Closing Tax Period (other than as the result of (i) having to make any payment under Section 6.2(b) to Seller or (ii) not being able to apply the Taxes giving rise to such Tax refund to tax liability in any Post-Closing Tax Period.. Unless otherwise directed in writing by Seller, Buyer shall, to the extent to the extent permissible under applicable Law at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of comfort), carryback any net operating loss, capital loss or similar tax attributes of the Acquired Companies from any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date to previous Tax periods to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

(e)    Agreed Tax Treatment. Seller shall cause (i) PFB America Corporation to distribute, no later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, all of the membership units of PFB Custom Homes to the Company, (ii)  no later than two (2) days prior to the Closing Date, PFB Custom Homes to file an election to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 3.01.7701-3(a) effective as of no later than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) effective two days following the distribution described in clause (i), and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, the Company to distribute 100% of its Equity Securities in PFB

Custom Homes with an agreed upon value of $7,125,000 to Seller on the Closing Date immediately prior to the Closing in redemption of the Equity Securities of the Company held by Seller with a value equal to the value of such PFB Custom Homes interests in a transaction intended to qualify, together with the sale of Securities pursuant to this Agreement, for sale or exchange treatment under Section 302(b)(3) of the Code in accordance with the principles set forth in Zenz v. Quinlivan, 213 F.2d 914 (6th Cir. 1954) and Rev. Rul. 75-447, 1975-2 CB 113 (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”). Buyer shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law at a “more likely than not” or higher level of comfort, treat the Closing Date as the last date of a Tax period of each Acquired Company and reflect all Transaction Deductions in the Tax periods of the Acquired Companies ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”). Each Party shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the Pre-Closing Reorganization and Agreed Tax Treatment and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith, except as otherwise required by a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code) or Section 6.6.

(f)    Transfer Taxes. Each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand as an item of Indebtedness, shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes arising as a result of the sale of Securities contemplated by this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Pre-Closing Reorganization). The party customarily responsible under applicable Law shall file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes and the non-preparing party shall cooperate in duly and properly preparing, executing, and filing any certificates or other documents required to be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes and, for the avoidance of doubt, such non-preparing party shall share in the cost of preparing and filing such certificates or other documents.

(g)    Post-Closing Actions. Except with the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies): to (i) except for Tax Returns filed pursuant to Section 6.3(b), file, re-file, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that was originally due (and filed) on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions), (ii) voluntarily approach any taxing authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of any Acquired Company that were originally due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions), (iii) make an election under Section 338 of the Code (or any comparable applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) make any Tax election with respect to any Acquired Company that is a Subsidiary that is retroactively effective on or before the Closing Date, (v)  except for net operating losses from Pre-Closing Tax Periods, carryback any net operating losses of any Acquired Company to a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (vi) take any action outside of the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement), in each case of clauses (i)-(vii), to the extent that such action would reduce any amount payable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement or result in Seller or any of its direct or indirect owners incurring any Tax liability. For purposes of computing (A) the Tax Liability Amount included in Indebtedness or (B) the amount of any Tax Refund pursuant to Section 6.3(b), any item of income or gain recognized on

the Closing Date resulting from any transaction that is effected by the Buyer outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement) following the Closing shall be ignored.

6.4    Public Announcements. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will, without the written approval of the other Party, issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as may be required by applicable Law or by the rules of any national securities exchange or stock market, in which case the Party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other Party reasonable time to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided that (a) each of the Parties may make internal announcements to their respective employees regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) nothing herein shall prohibit or prevent any Sponsor Holder or any of their respective Affiliates from disclosing any information of a nature that would typically be provided by private equity funds to their investors, prospective investors, financing sources and/or prospective financing sources.

6.5    Termination of Affiliate Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.5 of Seller Disclosure Schedules, all Contracts and Liabilities between Seller and its Affiliates (not including the Acquired Companies), on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies on the other hand, including those set forth on Schedule 3.27(a), shall be terminated in full as of the completion of the Closing. For the sake of clarity, this Section 6.5 shall not apply with respect to the Transition Services Agreement, the Supply Agreement or any other Ancillary Document.

6.6    Pre-Closing Reorganization Indemnification.

(a)    From and after the Closing, the Seller and PFB Custom Homes shall jointly and severally pay, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Related Parties (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Taxes of the Acquired Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Periods (“Covered Losses”) actually incurred by the Acquired Companies as a result of a claim made by a Governmental Entity and that are caused by or result from the Pre-Closing Reorganization; provided, that in no event shall any Buyer Indemnitee be entitled to recover for any amounts in respect of, and in no event shall Covered Losses be deemed to include any amounts taken into account in the Actual Closing Amount or any Excluded Matter.

(b)    Any payment or indemnity required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be reduced to take into account any reduction in cash Taxes payable realized by any Buyer Indemnitee (which term shall, for purposes of this paragraph, include the ultimate payer(s) of Taxes in the case of a Buyer Indemnitee that is a disregarded entity or other pass-through entity for any Tax purpose) in the taxable year of such Covered Losses (or in the immediately succeeding tax year) as a result of the Covered Losses giving rise to the payment or indemnity, calculated on a “with and without” basis (i.e., by treating any deductions or credits resulting from such Covered Losses as the last deductions or credits taken on any Tax Return).

(c)    If any Buyer Indemnitee receives a written notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim, audit, arbitration, mediation or other legal proceeding

made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement against such Buyer Indemnitee with respect to which such Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6 (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Buyer Indemnitee shall give Seller written notice thereof promptly, and in any event, within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof. Such written notice by the Buyer Indemnitee shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all correspondence from or to such third party (or its Representatives) and any other documentation related to the matter giving rise to such Third-Party Claim and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Covered Losses that have been sustained by the Buyer Indemnitee. Seller shall have the right, at Seller’s sole expense, to participate in, to assume and control or, by giving written notice to Buyer, to assume and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim at Seller’s expense and by Seller’s own counsel, and , in connection with such participation, shall cooperate in good faith with Buyer and any Buyer Indemnitee in such defense, so long as Seller confirms in writing to Buyer that it shall be responsible for the Covered Losses relating to such Third Party Claim. In the event that Seller assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim (i) it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitees and (ii) the Buyer Indemnitees shall have the right, at their own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by them subject to the Seller’s right to control the defense thereof. Seller and the Buyer Indemnitees shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including reasonable access to the Acquired Companies’ premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, as may be reasonably requested for the defense and preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), on the other hand, shall enter into settlement of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)    Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, any payment made pursuant to Section 6.6 shall be treated, for Tax purposes, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 6.6 shall terminate sixty (60) days after the date on which the applicable statute of limitations expires (the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that with respect to any particular Covered Losses actually incurred prior to the Survival Date, this Section 6.6 shall not terminate if a written claim under this Section 6.6 with respect to such particular Covered Losses is made by any Buyer Indemnitee in good faith in accordance with this Agreement prior to the Survival Date.

7.1    Conditions to Obligation of Buyer. The obligation of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Buyer) of the following conditions:

(a)    Each of (i) the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article III (other than the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 3.1(a) – (b), 3.2, 3.5 and 3.20 (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”)) shall be true and correct (without giving effect to any “material”, “materiality”, or “Material Adverse Effect” qualification contained in such representations and warranties) at and as of the Closing (other than such representations and warranties that refer specifically to an earlier date, which representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such earlier date), in each case, except where the failure of any such representation or warranty to be so true and correct has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) Seller Fundamental Representations shall be true and correct at and as of the Closing (other than such representations and warranties that refer specifically to an earlier date, which representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such earlier date).

7.3    Frustration of Closing Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Seller nor Buyer may rely on or assert the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VII if such failure results from or was caused by such Party’s failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement.

7.4    Waiver of Conditions. All conditions set forth in this Article VII will be deemed to have been satisfied or waived from and after the Closing.

7.5    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned, prior to the Closing solely:

(a)    by the mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer;

(b)    by either Seller or Buyer, if (i) an Order enjoining or prohibiting any of the Parties from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby is in effect and such Order has become final and non-appealable and (ii) the terminating Party has not materially breached any provision of this Agreement;

(c)    by Buyer, if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred which (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition specified in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) to be satisfied and (ii) is incapable of being cured on or before the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after receipt by Seller of written notice from Buyer stating Buyer’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.5(c)

and (B) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.5(c) shall not be available to Buyer if Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Sections 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) to be satisfied;

(d)    by Seller, if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred which (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition specified in Sections 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) to be satisfied and (ii) is incapable of being cured on or before the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of written notice from Seller stating Seller’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.5(d) and (B) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.5(d) shall not be available to Seller if Seller has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) to be satisfied;

(e)    by Buyer or Seller after the Outside Date, if (i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on the date that is one-hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”), and (ii) the terminating Party has not materially breached any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) either Party may elect to extend the Outside Date by up to two hundred and seventy (270) days in one or more extensions if, as of the then-current Outside Date, either of (x) the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1(c) or 7.2(c) have not been waived or satisfied or (y) any other condition set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 (other than those conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) has not been waived or satisfied as a result of the effectiveness of any Order (whether preliminary, temporary or permanent) preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement arising with respect to the Competition Act, and in such case, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended until five (5) Business Days after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1(c) or 7.2(c) or the date such Order no long prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Competition Act, as applicable, and provided further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.5(e) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes such Order or such Party is not in compliance with its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with or performed by it at or prior to the Closing; and (B) that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.5(e) shall not be available to any Party during the pendency of any Suit for specific performance of this Agreement, and in such case, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended until and following the completion of such Suit such that the Outside Date shall be five (5) Business Days following the completion of such Suit; or

representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement), (ii) Seller has notified Buyer in writing that Seller is ready, willing and able to effect the Closing at such time, and (iii) Buyer fails to consummate the Closing on or before the earlier of the Outside Date and the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of delivery of the written notification by Seller contemplated in clause (ii).

7.6    Effect of Termination. The valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.5 shall terminate all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder and none of the Parties shall have any Liability to any other Party hereunder, except that (a) Section 6.4, this Section 7.6, Section 8.2 and Article IX, and, in each case, the definition of any defined terms used therein, shall survive any such termination; and (b) no such termination shall relieve any Party of any Liability to the other Party resulting from any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. A failure by Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 will be deemed a Willful Breach by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Section 7.6), in the event of termination of this Agreement, and regardless of the reason for the termination, each Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and any such termination shall not amend, modify, release, waive or otherwise limit any rights, obligations or remedies under either Confidentiality Agreement (except, as set forth in Section 9.18).

8.1    No Survival of Representations, Warranties and Pre-Closing Covenants.

The Parties agree that the delivery of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and any other agreements and documents executed and delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or executed and delivered at the Closing, may be effected by means of an exchange of facsimile signatures or other electronic delivery (including DocuSign).

This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the other certificates and schedules (including Seller Disclosure Schedules) delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto set forth the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All exhibits and schedules, including any Seller Disclosure Schedule, referred to herein are intended to be and hereby are specifically made a part of this Agreement and incorporated by reference herein. Any and all previous agreements and understandings between or among the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and any schedules hereto, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the other certificates and schedules (including Seller Disclosure Schedules) delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, except for the Confidentiality Agreements which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to contain or imply any restriction, covenant, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking of any Person with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than those expressly set forth herein or

therein, and none shall be deemed to exist or be inferred with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding any oral agreement or course of conduct of the Parties or their Representatives to the contrary, no Person shall be under any legal obligation to enter into or complete the transactions contemplated hereby unless and until this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each of the Parties.

9.10    Seller Disclosure Schedules. Except as otherwise provided in Seller Disclosure Schedules, all capitalized terms used therein shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement. Matters reflected in Seller Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed. No disclosure made in Seller Disclosure Schedules shall constitute an admission or determination that any fact or matter so disclosed is material, meets a dollar or other threshold set forth in this Agreement or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting of a threshold or the inclusion of such facts or matters in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, amount, fact or matter is or is not material, is or is not in excess of a dollar or other threshold or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, for purposes of this Agreement. Information disclosed in any Seller Disclosure Schedule will qualify any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement to the extent that a reasonable buyer would infer, based on the context of such disclosure, the applicability of the information disclosed to any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, notwithstanding the absence of a reference or cross-reference to such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on any such Seller Disclosure Schedule. No disclosure in Seller Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. Summaries or descriptions of Contracts or other documents contained in Seller Disclosure Schedules are qualified in their entirety by such Contracts or other documents themselves. The matters reflected in Seller Disclosure Schedules are solely intended to qualify the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and nothing contained in Seller Disclosure Schedules shall in any event expand the scope of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

9.11    Captions. All captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.12    Remedies.

(a)    The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the other certificates and schedules (including Seller Disclosure Schedules) delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto were not performed by any Party, as applicable, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by any Party, as applicable, including if the

Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including each Party’s obligations to consummate the Closing). It is accordingly agreed that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the other certificates and schedules (including Seller Disclosure Schedules) delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto by any Party, as applicable, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof against each Party, as applicable, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at law or in equity and (ii) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement, any Ancillary Documents, the other certificates and schedules (including Seller Disclosure Schedules) delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the other certificates and schedules (including Seller Disclosure Schedules) delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto and/or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the other certificates and schedules (including Seller Disclosure Schedules) delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto in accordance with this Section 9.12 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(b)    If Seller is granted or seeks an award of damages with respect to a failure of Buyer to consummate the Closing due to a breach of this Agreement by Buyer, Buyer agrees such damages shall include damages based upon any lost benefit of the bargain affecting Seller and its owners (in each case taking into account relevant matters, including the total amount payable to Seller under this Agreement and the time value of money).

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 9.12(a)), except in the cases of Fraud, from and after the Closing, no Party shall have, and to the fullest extent permitted by Law each Party hereby expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases, any right of rescission or any similar equitable right or remedy.

9.13    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity

or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.15    Legal Representation.

(a)    Each Party acknowledges that (i) each of the Sponsor Holders, Seller and the Acquired Companies have retained Paul Hastings LLP (“Paul Hastings”) and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP (“Blakes”) to act as its counsel in connection with the Transaction Matters as well as other past and ongoing matters, (ii) neither Paul Hastings nor Blakes has acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the Transaction Matters, and (iii) no Person other than the Sponsor Holders, Seller and the Acquired Companies has the status of a Paul Hastings or Blakes client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof. Buyer (A) waives and will not assert, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest relating to Paul Hastings’s or Blakes’ representation after the Closing of the Sponsor Holders, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates in any matter, whether involving the Transaction Matters (including any Suit) or otherwise, and (B) consents to, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) to consent to, any such representation, even though in each case (x) the interests of the Sponsor Holders, Seller and/or their respective Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Acquired Companies, (y) Paul Hastings or Blakes may have represented any Acquired Company in a substantially related matter, and/or (z) Paul Hastings or Blakes may be handling other ongoing matters for Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies.

(b)    Buyer agrees that, after the Closing, neither Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) will have any right to access or control any of Paul Hastings’ or Blakes’ records relating to or affecting any Transaction Matter, which will be the property of (and be controlled by) the Sponsor Holders and Seller. In addition, Buyer agrees that it would be impractical to remove all Attorney-Client Communications from the records (including e-mails and other electronic files) of the Acquired Companies. Accordingly, Buyer will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) not to, use any Attorney-Client Communication remaining in the records of any Acquired Company after Closing in a manner that is adverse to any Sponsor Holder, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

(c)    Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies), that from and after Closing and solely with respect to Attorney-Client Communications (i) the attorney-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all Attorney-Client Communications are hereby assigned to and shall belong to the Sponsor Holders and Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) and (ii) the Sponsor Holders and Seller, together, will have the exclusive right to control, assert, or waive the attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications. Accordingly, with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications, Buyer will not, and will cause each of its

Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies) not to, (A) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not any Sponsor Holder, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates; or (B) take any action which could cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not any Sponsor Holder, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Acquired Companies), that in the event of a dispute between any Sponsor Holder, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates on the one hand and Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies on the other hand arising out of or relating to any matter in which Paul Hastings or Blakes jointly represented both parties, neither the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to any Sponsor Holder, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates any Attorney-Client Communication developed or shared during the course of Paul Hastings’s or Blakes’ joint representation.

9.16    No Recourse Against Nonparty Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except (x) as provided in the Confidentiality Agreements, with respect to the applicable parties thereto, and (y) for PFB Custom Homes solely with respect to Section 6.6, (a) all Liabilities, claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, granted by statute or otherwise) of any Buyer Related Party or Seller Related Party that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are those solely of) Seller or Buyer; (b) other than Seller and Buyer, no Person, including any Nonparty Affiliate, shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, granted by statute or otherwise) to any Buyer Related Party or any Seller Related Party for any Suits, claims, causes of action or Liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach or the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) to the maximum extent permitted by Law, Buyer, on behalf of itself and all other Buyer Related Parties, and Seller, on behalf of itself and all other Seller Related Parties, hereby waives and releases all such Liabilities, Suits, claims and causes of action against any such Nonparty Affiliates; and (d) without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, Buyer, on behalf of itself and all other Buyer Related Parties, and Seller, on behalf of itself and all other Seller Related Parties, (i) hereby waives and releases any and all rights, Suits, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, in contract, in tort, granted by statute or otherwise, to avoid or disregard the entity form of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, or otherwise impose Liability of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise, and (ii) disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any
