TOPBUILD CORP.

THIS ESCROW AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is entered into on April 25, 2018 (this “Agreement”), by and among U.S. Bank National Association as escrow agent (in such capacity, the “Escrow Agent”), U.S. Bank National Association as a “bank” and “securities intermediary” (each term as defined in the Code (as defined herein)) (in such capacities, the “Financial Institution”), U.S. Bank National Association as trustee under the Indenture described below (the “Trustee”), TopBuild Escrow Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Grantor”), and Grantor’s sole stockholder, TopBuild Corp., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS

Pursuant to that certain indenture dated as of April 25, 2018 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and between the Grantor and the Trustee, the Grantor has, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, issued $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes have been issued in a private placement (the “Offering”) pursuant to that certain purchase agreement dated as of April 11, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Grantor, the Company and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative (the “Representative”) of the several initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”). In connection with the Offering, the Company and the Grantor prepared an Offering Memorandum dated April 11, 2018 (the “Offering Memorandum”).

As set forth in the Offering Memorandum, the Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes, together with borrowings under its secured credit facility: (i) to fund the purchase price payable in connection with the consummation of the Company’s pending acquisition of USI Legend Parent, Inc. (“USI” and such acquisition, the “Acquisition”); (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and with the offering of the Notes; (iii) to repay all amounts outstanding under USI’s existing credit facility and terminate such facility; and (iv) for general corporate purposes. As the consummation of the USI Acquisition will not occur contemporaneously with the issuance of the Notes, the Company and the Grantor have agreed with the Initial Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement, and the Grantor has agreed with the Trustee in the Indenture, to enter into this Agreement and to escrow the net proceeds from the Offering and certain additional funds as provided herein. When and if the Escrow Conditions (as defined herein) are satisfied, the escrowed proceeds will be released to the Company, and if such conditions are not satisfied on or prior to August 30, 2018 (the “Outside Date”), the escrowed proceeds and other property in the Escrow Account (as defined herein) will be released to the Trustee for application to fund a special mandatory redemption of the Notes as provided in Section 1.05(d).

The Grantor, the Trustee, the Financial Institution and the Escrow Agent hereby agree that, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the Financial Institution will maintain the Escrow Account and the Escrow Agent will distribute the Escrowed Property (as defined below) in accordance with and subject to the following:

The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor or enforce the obligation of any party to make a deposit into the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent has no responsibility for determining whether the amount of the Initial Deposit or any other deposit in the Escrow Account is sufficient for any intended purpose.

(b) The Financial Institution will accept the Initial Deposit and will hold such funds, all investments thereof, any Distributions (as hereinafter defined) and the proceeds of the foregoing in account number ###-###-#### maintained by the Financial Institution in the name of the Trustee (such account, the “Escrow Account”) for disbursement in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Trustee will be the entitlement holder with respect to the Escrowed Property and the Escrow Account. The Grantor will not have any access to the Escrow Account or the Escrowed Property, other than in accordance with Section 1.05 hereof. The Initial Deposit, the Escrow Account and all funds or securities now or hereafter credited to the Escrow Account, all investments of any of the foregoing, plus all interest, dividends and other distributions and payments on any of the foregoing (collectively the “Distributions”) received or receivable in respect of any of the foregoing, together with all proceeds of any of the foregoing are collectively referred to herein as “Escrowed Property.”

(a) The Grantor hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes, as security for the due and punctual payment when due of all amounts that may be payable from time to time under the Indenture and the Notes, a continuing security interest in, and a lien on, all of the Grantor’s rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising, under this Agreement and in all right, title and interest of the Grantor, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in the Escrow Account, the Escrowed Property and all security entitlements in respect of financial assets credited to the Escrow Account from time to time.

(b) The Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that the security interest of the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that the Grantor has rights herein, and the Escrow Account and Escrowed Property, will, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by all parties hereto, at all times on and thereafter be valid, perfected and enforceable (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as a first priority security interest by the Trustee against the Grantor and all third parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, or any successor provision (the “NY UCC”).

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Escrow Account will be treated as a “Securities Account,” (ii) the Escrowed Property (other than the Escrow Account) will be treated as “Financial Assets,” (iii) this Agreement governs the Escrow Account and provides rules governing the priority among possible “Entitlement Orders” received by the Financial Institution from the Grantor, the Trustee and any other persons entitled to give Entitlement Orders with respect to such Financial Assets and (iv) the “Securities Intermediary’s Jurisdiction” is the State of New York. The Financial Institution represents and warrants that it is a “Securities Intermediary” with respect to the Escrow Account and the “Financial Assets” credited to the Escrow Account. Except as specifically provided herein, the NY UCC will apply to this Agreement, and all terms quoted in this Section 1.03(c) and in Section 1.03(e) have the respective meanings assigned to them by Article 8 and Article 9, as applicable, of the NY UCC.

(d) The Escrow Agent hereby agrees that all property delivered to the Escrow Agent for crediting to the Escrow Account will be promptly credited to the Escrow Account by the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and agrees that it will not enter into, any control agreement or any other agreement relating to the Escrow Account or the Escrowed Property with any third party without the prior written consent of the Grantor, the Trustee and the Representative. The parties agree that

4

all financial assets (except cash) credited to the Escrow Account will be registered in the name of the Financial Institution or indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Escrow Account be registered in the name of the Grantor, payable to the order of the Grantor or specially indorsed to the Grantor unless such financial asset has been further indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank.

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Account and the Escrowed Property will be under the “control” of the Trustee (in accordance with the Indenture and this Agreement) and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Financial Institution will comply with all Entitlement Orders with respect to the Escrow Account and all instructions directing disposition of funds in the Escrow Account, in each case originated by the Trustee (in accordance with the Indenture and this Agreement) without further consent of the Grantor or any other person; provided, however, that so long as the Trustee has not notified the Escrow Agent and Financial Institution in writing that a Default (as defined in the Indenture) exists or following the receipt by the Escrow Agent and the Financial Institution of a written notice from the Trustee that any existing Default (as defined in the Indenture) has been cured or waived, the Financial Institution shall honor Entitlement Orders issued by the Grantor in accordance with Section 1.05 hereof.

(f) The Grantor agrees to take all steps reasonably necessary in connection with the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in this Agreement and the Escrowed Property and the protection of the Escrowed Property from claims by third parties and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor hereby authorizes the Trustee and the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Trustee to file one or more UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions and filing offices and containing such description of collateral as the Trustee, or the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Trustee, may determine are reasonably necessary in order to perfect the security interest granted herein, and any such filing is authorized to be made by the Trustee, the Initial Purchasers or their respective counsel, in each case on behalf of the Trustee. The Grantor represents and warrants that it is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the state of Delaware and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction, and the Grantor hereby agrees that, prior to the termination of this Agreement, it will not change its name or jurisdiction of organization without giving the Trustee and the Initial Purchasers not more than 10 or less than 5 days’ prior written notice thereof.

(g) Upon the release of any Escrowed Property pursuant to Section 1.05 hereof, the security interest of the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes granted herein will automatically terminate with respect to all such Escrowed Property so released without any further action and such released Escrowed Property will be delivered to the recipient free and clear of any and all liens, claims or encumbrances of the Financial Institution, the Escrow Agent, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes. The Trustee will, at the reasonable request

5

of the Grantor, take all steps reasonably necessary to terminate any financing statements and will execute such other documents without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind as the Grantor may reasonably request in writing to evidence or confirm the termination of the security interest in such released Escrowed Property.

The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed, and agrees promptly to deposit the Escrowed Property including without limitation the Initial Deposit in the Escrow Account and hereby agrees to treat any such investment as a “Financial Asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC.

(j) Conflicting claims. In the event of any dispute between or conflicting claims by or among the Grantor and/or any other person or entity with respect to any Escrowed Property, the Escrow Agent will be entitled, in its reasonable sole discretion, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such Escrowed Property so long as such dispute or conflict continues, and the Escrow Agent will not be or become liable in any way to the Grantor for failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Escrow Agent will be entitled to refuse to act until, in its sole discretion, either (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands have been determined by a final order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Escrow Agent or (ii) the Escrow Agent has received security or an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all Losses (as defined in Section 2.02 hereof) which it may incur by reason of so acting. The Escrow Agent may, in addition, elect, in its sole discretion, to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as it may deem, in its sole discretion, necessary. The reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses of one legal counsel) incurred in connection with such proceeding will be paid by, and will be solely an obligation of, the Grantor.

(k) Compliance with judicial orders. If at any time the Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process that in any way affects the Escrowed Property, including but not limited to orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of the Escrowed Property (an “Order”), the Escrow Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems necessary, provided that the Escrow Agent shall, prior to taking any such action in respect of the Order and if not advised by counsel that to do so would constitute a violation of law, use its best commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Grantor and the Trustee of such Order to allow the Grantor to seek an appropriate order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement; and if the Escrow Agent complies with this Section 2.01(k) and any such Order, the Escrow Agent will not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such Order may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

15

(l) Right to rely on communications. The Escrow Agent will be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, instruction, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof. The Escrow Agent may act in conclusive reliance upon any instrument or signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. When the Escrow Agent acts on any information, instructions, communications (including, but not limited to, communications with respect to the delivery of securities or the wire transfer of funds) sent by facsimile, email or other form of electronic or data transmission, the Escrow Agent, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud will not be responsible or liable in the event such communication is not an authorized or authentic communication of the Grantor or Trustee, as the case may be, or is not in the form the Grantor or Trustee sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise). Pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, the Grantor will indemnify the Escrow Agent against any Losses (as such term is defined in Section 2.02 hereof) it may incur as a result of acting in accordance with any such communication.

(m) Right to request instruction. At any time the Escrow Agent may request an instruction in writing from the Grantor and the Trustee and may, at its own option, include in such request the course of action it proposes to take and the date on which it proposes to act, regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties and obligations hereunder. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for acting in accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified therein; provided that (i) the specified date will be at least five Business Days after each of the Grantor and the Trustee receives the Escrow Agent’s request for instructions and its proposed course of action and (ii) prior to so acting, the Escrow Agent has not received the written instructions requested.

(n) Liability for Taxes. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrowed Property deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. The Grantor will pay or promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the Escrowed Property incurred in connection herewith and will indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent with respect to any amounts that it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes, in each case to the reasonable satisfaction of the Escrow Agent. Any payments of income from the Escrow Account will be subject to withholding regulations then in force under applicable law. Trustee and the Grantor further agree as follows: The Escrow Agent shall, for each calendar year (or portion thereof) that the Escrow Account is in existence, report the income of the Escrow Account (i) to the Grantor and (ii) to the IRS, as required by law. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will not take any position in connection with the preparation, filing or audit of any tax return that is in any way inconsistent with the foregoing determination or the information returns or reports provided by the Escrow Agent, except as required by law. The Trustee and the Grantor shall provide the Escrow

16

Agent with such tax forms and certificates as shall be reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the tax consequences of this Agreement, and the Grantor shall consult with independent counsel concerning any and all tax matters.

(o) Withholding Requests and Indemnification. The Grantor and the Company, jointly and severally, agree to (i) assume all obligations imposed now or hereafter by any applicable tax law or regulation with respect to payments or performance under this Agreement, (ii) request the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, and advise the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to any certifications and governmental reporting that may be required under any applicable laws or regulations, and (iii) indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless pursuant to Section 2.02 below from any liability or obligation on account of taxes, assessments, additions for late payment, interest, penalties, expenses and other governmental charges that may be assessed or asserted against Escrow Agent.

(p) Extension of rights of Escrow Agent. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Escrow Agent, including without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Escrow Agent in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other person or entity employed to act hereunder.

Section 2.02. Indemnity. From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, the Grantor and the Company, jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of the Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation the Grantor or the Company, whether threatened or initiated, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Agreement, any Losses or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that the Grantor and the Company shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 2.02 for any Losses which resulted from the Escrow Agent’s material breach of this Agreement, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the Grantor and the Company jointly and severally. The obligations of the Grantor and the Company under this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

17

Section 2.03 Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. (a) The Grantor may remove the Escrow Agent at any time by giving to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee 5 days’ prior notice in writing signed by the Grantor. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving to the Grantor and the Trustee 15 days’ prior written notice thereof.

(b) Within 10 days after giving the foregoing notice of removal to the Escrow Agent or receiving the foregoing notice of resignation from the Escrow Agent, the Grantor will appoint a successor escrow agent, upon notice to the Trustee. The Grantor will cause any successor escrow agent to assume the obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder or to enter into such other escrow and security agreement as may be reasonably acceptable to the Grantor, and any such other escrow and security agreement shall be administratively acceptable to the Trustee. If a successor escrow agent has not accepted such appointment by the end of such 10-day period or such successor escrow agent has not become so bound, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief. The reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses of one legal counsel) incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding will be paid by, and be deemed to be solely an obligation of, the Grantor.

(c) Subject to Section 1.08(c), upon receipt of the identity of the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent will deliver the Escrowed Property then held hereunder to the successor escrow agent. Upon delivery of the Escrowed Property to the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent will have no further duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder.

Section 2.04. Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the distribution of all Escrowed Property from the Escrow Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.05 hereof, except such provisions of this Agreement that by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. Upon termination of this Agreement, all security interest of the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes granted pursuant to, and described in, Section 1.03 of this Agreement shall automatically terminate without any further action. The Trustee shall at the reasonable request of the Grantor or the Company take all steps reasonably necessary to terminate any financing statements that have not been terminated pursuant to Section 1.03(g) hereof and shall execute such other documents without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind as the Grantor or the Company may reasonably request in writing to evidence or confirm the termination of such security interest.
