16

“9.9% Test”).  In the event the aforesaid limit is exceeded, such dollar amount of Earnout above the 9.9% Test which Sellers (other than Plains Pacific) would otherwise receive in Earnout Shares shall be payable in cash to such Sellers.  No fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be issued, and in lieu thereof any fractional Earnout Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Earnout Share.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, in no event will the aggregate amount of the 2010 and 2011 Earnout Payments exceed $11,500,000.

(b)           EBITDA Report.  Within five (5) days following receipt by Buyer of its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, but in no event later than April 15, 2011 for the December 31, 2010 audited financial statement, no later than April 15, 2012 for the December 31, 2011 audited financial statement, and no later than April 15, 2013 for the December 31, 2012 audited financial statement, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative, a report (the “EBITDA Report”) showing the computation of EBITDA for each such Earnout Period.  The EBITDA Report shall be based upon the December 31, 2010 audited financial statement of Buyer for the 2010 Earnout Period, based upon the December 31, 2011 audited financial statement of Buyer for the 2011 Earnout Period, and based upon the December 31, 2012 audited financial statement of Buyer for the 2012 Earnout Period.

(c)           Final Determination.  The final determination of EBITDA shall be accomplished in accordance with subsections (d), (e) and (f) below if Sellers (other than Plains Pacific) have not received Earnout Shares for any such Earnout Period.

(e)           Dispute Resolution.  If, at the end of such twenty (20) day period, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer have not so resolved such differences, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall submit the dispute for resolution to the following firms in Orange County, California in the order listed: Price Waterhouse Coopers, or Deloitte & Touche (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were properly included in such Earnout Dispute Notice; provided, the foregoing firms will not be used if it has provided services to the Target or the Buyer within the prior twenty-four (24) months.  Each of Buyer, the Acquired Companies, and Sellers hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has no relationship with the Independent Accounting Firm.

17

(f)            Independent Accounting Firm.  The Independent Accounting Firm shall be engaged by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer within ten (10) days following the expiration of such twenty (20) day period.  Promptly, but not later than twenty (20) days after acceptance of this appointment, the Independent Accounting Firm shall determine those items in dispute and will render its report as to its resolution of such terms and resulting calculations of EBITDA for the Earnout Period in dispute.  In determining each disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such term claimed by either party.  Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm in making its determination and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties.  Sellers and Buyer shall initially be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the costs and fees of the Independent Accounting Firm.  The losing party (as defined below) in any such arbitration shall pay all costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the prevailing party) related to such determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, including without limitation, the costs relating to any negotiations with the Independent Accounting Firm with respect to the terms and conditions of such Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement and the costs for the Independent Accounting Firm’s services.  For purposes of this Section 2.8, as between Sellers’ Representative and Buyer, the “losing party” in any such determination shall mean the party whose EBITDA for the Earnout Period in dispute (as set forth in the EBITDA Report, in the case of Buyer, or in an Earnout Dispute Notice, in the case of Sellers’ Representative), is farthest from the calculation of EBITDA for the Earnout Period in dispute, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(g)           Timing of Earnout Payment.  Buyer shall make the Earnout Payment within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of EBITDA for each such Earnout Period.

(h)           Acceleration Event.  If an Acceleration Event occurs prior to the expiration of the 2012 Earnout Period, then Buyer will pay within thirty days of the Acceleration Event in full to those Sellers entitled to be paid any Earnout Payment in the same percentages as set forth in Exhibit A and in the same form of consideration as set forth in Exhibit A any remaining Earnout Payments which have not yet been paid, but such Sellers will not be entitled to be paid retroactively for any Earnout Payment which may not have been achieved for the period or periods prior to the date of the Acceleration Event.

(i)            Buyer Earnout Covenants.  Following the Closing and until expiration of the applicable Earnout Period, Buyer shall:

(i)            provide that Rockford has access to adequate working capital and letters of credit as is reasonably necessary to operate Rockford reasonably consistent with the manner in which the business of Rockford has been conducted prior to the date of this Agreement;

(ii)           provide that Rockford has access to adequate funding, personnel, compensation for employees, and support as is reasonably necessary to operate Rockford reasonably consistent with the manner in which the business of Rockford has been conducted prior to the date of this Agreement;

18

(iii)          operate Rockford as a business unit for financial accounting purposes;

(iv)          act in good faith in determining whether to retain, release or hire personnel from Rockford or whether to acquire or dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of Rockford;

(v)           act in good faith in determining whether to terminate or discontinue any of the businesses which Rockford is presently engaged in;

(vi)          maintain separate books of account for Rockford;

(vii)         operate Rockford in good faith in the ordinary course of business and use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into contracts in Rockford’s business;

(viii)        continue to use the word “Rockford” in Rockford’s name unless Sellers’ Representative otherwise consents, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(ix)           not cause Rockford to enter into any contract or agreement with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which is not commercially reasonable; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer will be permitted, following the Closing Date, to make changes at its sole discretion to the operations, corporate organization, personnel, accounting practices, and other aspects of Rockford and its businesses, so long as such changes are made in good faith and are not expected to have a negative impact on EBITDA.

(x)            during calendar year 2010, operate Rockford and Buyer and its Affiliates in any potential competitive situations involving Rockford, on the one hand, and Buyer and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, in a manner consistent with the prior historical relative levels of activity of Rockford or Buyer and its Affiliates.  Beginning in 2011 for the 2011 and 2012 calendar years, in areas where there has been direct competition in California, involving Rockford’s California Division (the “Division”), for purposes of determining Rockford EBITDA for the Earnout Payments, the following shall apply:

(A)          Buyer shall calculate the California revenue derived from the “ARB Underground” group based in Pittsburg, California and the Rockford Division and 50% of that combined revenue will be deemed to be Rockford revenue (“Calculated Rockford Division Revenues”); and

(B)           Buyer shall apply an 11% EBITDA margin to the Calculated Rockford Division Revenues, and this amount of EBITDA shall be added to the other Rockford EBITDA amount for purposes of calculating Rockford’s EBITDA targets in lieu of any other calculation for such California work.

19

(C)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Rockford will continue to receive 100% of the EBITDA for its work (i) completed in the states of Washington and Oregon and (ii) cross-country pipeline work.

(xi)           up until the sooner of (a) the expiration of the 2012 Earnout Period or (b) the date of an Acceleration Event, the Buyer shall permit upon reasonable notice at a mutually convenient time Sellers’ Representative (who shall have executed a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer) and his accounting and financial advisors to examine the financial books and records of Rockford and/or Target, to make such inspections and copies of such books and records as they may reasonably require, and to discuss such matters with the appropriate personnel of the Buyer, each to the extent reasonably necessary to the exercise of the Sellers’ Representative’s right to object to the Buyer’s calculation of EBITDA.  The Sellers’ Representative agrees that he shall hold (and shall cause his advisors referred to in the preceding sentence to hold) all information acquired during such examination in strict confidence and shall use (and shall cause his advisors referred to in the preceding sentence to use) such information solely for purposes of understanding what the EBITDA may be for Rockford.

(j)            The Parties acknowledge that (a) the calculation of EBITDA for purposes of determining the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Earnout Payments is intended to be based on the same revenue and expense policies as used by Rockford prior to the Closing and (b) Buyer may wish to change revenue and expense policies of Rockford or shift certain contracts or work from Rockford.  To ensure that both objectives can be met, the parties agree that the calculation of such Earnout Payments will be adjusted to the benefit of Sellers to reflect such purpose and any changes post closing that would affect such earnout limitations.

2.9           Minimum Sellers’ Stockholder Equity.

(a)           General.  The Merger Consideration may also be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount, if any, by which the Final Sellers’ Stockholder Equity is less than $39,000,000 on the Closing Date.

(b)           Preparation of Closing Balance Sheet.  As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Closing Balance Sheet to be prepared and will prepare a certificate based on such Closing Balance Sheet setting forth (i) its calculation of Closing Sellers’ Stockholder Equity (the “Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation”); and (ii) its calculation of the reduction of the Merger Consideration, if any, pursuant to this Section 2.9 (the “Adjustment Amount”).  Buyer shall cause drafts of the Closing Balance Sheet to be made available to the Sellers’ Representative for review and comment.  As promptly as practicable, but no later than forty-five (45) days, after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause the Closing Balance Sheet, together with its certificate, to be delivered to the Sellers’ Representative.

(c)           Disagreement by Sellers’ Representative.  The Closing Balance Sheet prepared by or on behalf of Buyer and the Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto unless the Sellers’ Representative delivers to Buyer, within twenty-one (21) days after delivery of the documents referred to in Section 2.9(b), a

20

written notice (the “Equity Objection Notice”) stating the Sellers’ Representative’s disagreement with the Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation, as the case may be, and setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s adjustments to the Closing Balance Sheet or the Buyer Equity Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation, as the case may be.  If Sellers’ Representative and Buyer have timely agreed or are deemed to have agreed to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation, then no Equity Objection Notice shall be filed and Section 2.9(d) shall not be applicable.  Any such Equity Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Sellers’ Representative disagrees, and the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation and certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.9(b).

(d)           Dispute Resolution.  If an Equity Objection Notice shall have been delivered by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.9(c), the parties shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, negotiate in good faith among themselves to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the amount of Closing Sellers’ Stockholder Equity.  If, during such period, the parties are unable to reach agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Independent Accounting Firm promptly to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of preparing (i) the Independent Accounting Firm’s Closing Balance Sheet and/or (ii) the Independent Accounting Firm’s calculation of Closing Sellers’ Stockholder Equity (the “Independent Accounting Firm Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation”), including the amount, if any, by which such calculation is less than $39,000,000, as the case may be.  In making such calculations, the Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet delivered by Buyer, the Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation as to which the Sellers’ Representative has disagreed, and shall prepare its calculations in accordance with the accounting policies and procedures used to prepare the March 31, 2010 Financial Statements, notwithstanding any conflict between such accounting policies and procedures and GAAP.  The parties shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to deliver to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than forty-five (45) days after submittal of all relevant documents to the Independent Accounting Firm, a report setting forth the Independent Accounting Firm’s adjustments, if any, to the Closing Balance Sheet and any adjustments to the Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation.  Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.  The cost of such review and report by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid initially fifty percent (50%) by Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer.  The losing party (as defined below) in any such arbitration shall pay all costs and fees (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) related to such determination by the Independent Accounting Firm including without limitation the costs relating to any negotiations with the Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement.  For purposes of this Section 2.9 as between Seller’s Representative and Buyer, the “losing party” in any such determination shall mean the party whose Sellers’ Stockholder Equity as of the Closing Date (as set forth in the Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation in the case of Buyer or in the Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Dispute Notice in case of Sellers’ Representative) is farthest from the calculation of Sellers’ Stockholder Equity as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm.

21

(e)           Cooperation.  The parties hereto agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective agents and representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Sellers’ Stockholder Equity, and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 2.9, including, without limitation, the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

(f)            Method and Time of Payment.  The amount of the decrease in the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.9, if any, shall be automatically and permanently retained by Buyer from the Holdback.  In the event of any reduction in the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.9 which exceeds the amount of the Holdback as established under this Agreement, each Seller shall pay to Buyer such Seller’s share based upon such Seller’s percentage ownership interest of the Target set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto by a wire transfer to an account designated by Buyer within fifteen (15) days of the date of final determination under this Section 2.9 of Closing Sellers’ Stockholder Equity.  Any Adjustment Amount required to be paid by the Sellers from the Holdback shall be permanently retained by Buyer twenty-one (21) days after Buyer’s delivery of the documents referred to in Section 2.9(c) and if an Equity Objection Notice with respect to the Buyer Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation is delivered, then any additional payments required under this Section 2.9 shall be made within five (5) days after the earlier of (A) agreement between the parties pursuant to Section 2.9(d) with respect to Closing Sellers’ Stockholder Equity, and (B) delivery of the Independent Accounting Firm Sellers’ Stockholder Equity Calculation by the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.9(d).  Any amount not required to be paid to Buyer from the Holdback shall be promptly distributed to Sellers in the percentage amount of ownership set forth in Exhibit A concurrent with any final payment from the Holdback to Buyer.

2.10         Withholding.  Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Sellers such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers.

2.11         Escrow Amounts.

(a)           Plains Pacific Escrow.  At the Effective Time, Buyer shall withhold the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount from the cash payable to Plains Pacific pursuant to Section 2.6(e) with such holdback allocated solely to Plains Pacific.  The cash to be withheld with respect to the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount shall be deposited by Buyer into an interest bearing escrow account (the “Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Account”) established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to secure only Plains Pacific’ indemnification obligations for Damages under Article 8.

(b)           Escrow Account.  The interest, earnings and income that accrues upon the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount during the period of time during which it is held in the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Account shall be deemed to become part of the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount.  The release of funds from the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Account shall be governed by the Escrow Agreement and the terms of this Agreement.  For tax reporting purposes, all such interest, earnings and income, if any, shall be allocable to Plains Pacific.

22

(c)           Release of Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount.  As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 10 Business Days) following the expiration of the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Period, Buyer and Plains Pacific shall cause the Escrow Agent to release to Plains Pacific, at its address and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, all of the remaining Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount, if any, in excess of (i) any Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount released by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 8.7(c) and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and (ii) any amount of the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount calculated pursuant to the following sentence to satisfy all unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed claims for Damages specified in the Notice delivered to the Sellers’ Representative and Plains Pacific before the expiration of the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Period.  If any Indemnity Claims are unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed as of the expiration of the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Period, then that amount of the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount that equals 9.88% of the total maximum amount of Damages then being claimed by Buyer Indemnified Persons in all such unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Indemnity Claims shall be retained in the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Account, and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 10 Business Days) following resolution of all such Indemnity Claims, Buyer and Plains Pacific shall cause the Escrow Agent to release to Plains Pacific and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, all the remaining Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount, if any, not required to satisfy such portion of the Indemnity Claims.

(d)           No Transfer or Encumbrance.  No portion of the Plains Pacific Escrow Indemnity Amount or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by Buyer or Plains Pacific following Closing, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of any such Person or used for any reason, prior to the release thereof in accordance with this Agreement, except that Buyer shall be entitled to assign its rights therein as provided in Section 9.4.

23

Any matter set forth in a section of the Disclosure Schedule with respect to a particular representation and warranty in this Agreement shall be deemed an exception to any other representations and warranties in this Agreement to which it may relate provided the disclosure is in sufficient detail to enable a reasonable person to identify such other representations and warranties to which such information is responsive.  Failure to provide a cross-reference from one section of the Disclosure Schedule to other applicable sections of the Disclosure Schedule shall not, however, in and of itself be deemed a failure to disclose unless a reasonable person would be unable to determine that the disclosure contained in such section of the Disclosure Schedule applies to other representations or warranties contained in this Agreement.

4.1           Representations Regarding Sellers.

(a)           Organization; Authority; No Conflict.  Each Seller that is a trust or other entity has been duly organized and validly exists under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.  Each Seller has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.  Each Seller that is a trust is permitted by such Seller’s instrument of trust and all documents and agreements relating thereto to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each such Seller and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally, or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b)           Share Ownership.  Each Seller holds of record and owns beneficially the Shares set forth opposite his or her name on Section 4.1(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, free and clear of any notice requirements, restrictions on transfer (other than any restrictions under any applicable securities Laws), Encumbrances, options, warrants, purchase rights, contracts, commitments, equities, claims and demands.  Such Seller is not a party to any option, warrant, purchase right or other contract or commitment that would require Seller to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares (other than this Agreement).  No Seller is a party to any voting trust, proxy, or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of any of the Shares.  No Seller is a Party to any agreement restricting the transfer of the Shares.  The Sellers have terminated the Shareholder Agreement of Rockford Holdings Corporation dated June 12, 2006, as amended.  Sellers have delivered or made available to Buyer copies of all agreements relating to the Shares.

(c)           Broker’s Fees.  Except as set forth in Section 4.1(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, each Seller and his or her agents have incurred no obligation or Liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage or finders’ fees, or agents’ commissions, or other similar payment in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein.

(d)           Notices and Consents.  Except as set forth on Section 4.1(d) of the Disclosure Schedule, each Seller is not, and will not be, required to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any consent, authorization or approval of, Target, any other shareholder of Target or any officer, director, or similar authority of Target or any other Person, including any Governmental Authority, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto or the consummation or performance of the transactions contemplated herein.

24

(e)           Registration of Buyer Shares.  Each Seller understands that none of the Buyer Shares issued to such Seller pursuant to this Agreement has been, or shall upon delivery be, registered under the Securities Act and that the certificates evidencing all such securities shall bear a legend to that effect. Each Seller also understands that such securities are being offered and sold to such Seller pursuant to an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and exemptions from the qualification or registration provisions of applicable state securities laws, based in part upon his or its representations contained in this Agreement and that, pursuant to these laws, each Seller must hold any Buyer Common Stock which he or it may be or it may receive under this Agreement or the Note (if converted in whole or in part) indefinitely unless such Buyer Common Stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available to a Seller for the acquisition of any Buyer Common Stock which he or it may receive under this Agreement or the Note (if converted in whole or in part).  Each Seller acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify any Buyer Common Stock for resale except as set forth in this Agreement.  Each Seller further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for any such Buyer Common Stock so received, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Seller’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.  Each Seller understands that this offering is not intended to be part of any public offering, and that no Seller will be able to rely on the protection of Section 11 of the Securities Act.

(f)            Investment Intent.  Each Seller is acquiring the Buyer Shares for his, her or its own account solely for the purpose of investment and not for offer or sale in connection with any distribution thereof.  Each Seller represents that by reason of such Seller’s business and financial experience, and the business and financial experience of its advisors and representatives, it has the capacity to protect its own interest in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Seller further represents that it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Buyer Shares and has adequate income independent of any income produced from an investment in such securities and has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of all of its investment in such securities without economic hardship if such a loss should occur.
