(a) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Obligations provided for in Article II hereof (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically via email or facsimile (or at such other place as the parties may

designate in writing) at 9:00 a.m. (Houston time) on the later to occur of (i) the second Business Day following the day on which each of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and 9.02 has been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to waive such condition, and (ii) July 31, 2012, unless another time or date, or both, are agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing shall be held is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

(b) At the Closing, (i) Sellers will sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Purchased Assets, subject to Section 8.04 of this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer will assume the Assumed Obligations.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Agent for the account of Sellers, by wire transfer to a single bank account previously designated by Agent, an aggregate amount equal to (i) $21,250,000, plus (ii) the Estimated NWC Adjustment.

3.03 Calculation of NWC Adjustment.

(a) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a good faith written estimate of the NWC Adjustment as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated NWC Adjustment”).

(b) On the day preceding the Closing Date, the parties shall conduct a joint physical count of the Inventory.

(c) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Agent a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the Net Working Capital and the proposed final NWC Adjustment, which proposal shall be binding and conclusive upon Sellers unless Agent gives written notice of disagreement to Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, such notice to specify in reasonable detail the nature, basis and extent of such disagreement. If Buyer and Agent mutually agree upon the resolution of any disputes relating to the proposed final NWC Adjustment within fifteen (15) days after Buyer’s receipt of Agent’s notice of disagreement, such agreement shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto.

(d) If Buyer and Agent are unable to resolve any such disagreements within such period, Buyer or Agent may refer the financial matters remaining in dispute for final determination to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or if such firm is unwilling or is unable to accept such appointment, then such other reputable, national, independent accounting firm as Buyer and Agent may designate by mutual agreement (the firm so designated, the “Chosen Firm”). The Chosen Firm shall only consider and have authority to resolve those financial matters specifically referred to it for resolution. The Chosen Firm shall apply GAAP and the provisions of this Section 3.03 in resolving any dispute pursuant hereto. The parties shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Chosen Firm to resolve any such disputed accounting matters within thirty (30) days after each referral. The decision of the Chosen Firm as to any accounting matters in dispute shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon all parties

hereto for all purposes. The cost of any dispute (including the fees and expense of the Chosen Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be borne by Buyer and Sellers in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Chosen Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Chosen Firm at the time its determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

(e) The NWC Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03 is referred to herein as the “Final NWC Adjustment”. If the Final NWC Adjustment exceeds the Estimated NWC Adjustment, then Buyer shall pay such excess to Agent for the account of Sellers. If the Final NWC Adjustment is less than the Estimated NWC Adjustment, then Sellers shall refund such shortfall to Buyer. All payments pursuant to this Section shall be made within five (5) days of the determination of the Final NWC Adjustment. Any such payment not made within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Final NWC Adjustment will bear interest from such determination date through the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the “Reference Rate”.

3.04 Effective Time. Unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Sellers, the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets, and the assumption of Assumed Obligations, shall be deemed effective (including for purposes of determining the NWC Adjustment) as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).

3.05 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

(a) At the election of Agent or Buyer on or after August 31, 2012, if the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of business on such date, provided that the terminating party (including the other Sellers, in the case of Agent) is not in material default of any of its obligations hereunder, and provided further that such date shall be automatically extended for thirty (30) days if only the condition to Closing set forth in Section 9.01(o) (Consents) remains unsatisfied or unwaived at August 31, 2012;

(e) by Agent if there shall have been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, which breach would give

rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.02 and is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within ten (10) days following receipt by Buyer of notice of such breach from Sellers.

(b) Nothing in this Section 3.07 shall relieve Buyer or Sellers of any liability for a breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination.

4.05 Financial Reports.

4.06 Books and Records.

(a) The books and other records of each Seller relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets, all of which have been made available to Buyer, have been maintained in accordance with commercially reasonable business practices, consistently applied, and fairly and accurately provide the basis for the financial position and results of operation set forth in the Financial Reports. All of such books and records are in possession of the applicable Seller and, to the extent they are not Excluded Assets, will be put into Buyer’s possession at the Closing.

(b) All services rendered and products sold in the conduct of the Business have been in conformity with all Applicable Laws, except to the extent the failure to be in conformity would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No services or products provided in the conduct of the Business are subject to any guaranty, warranty, or other indemnity beyond any Seller’s standard terms and conditions of sale, copies of which have been previously delivered to Buyer.

4.08 Personal Property, Inventory, Title and Sufficiency of Assets and Receivables.

6.02 Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) Each Seller agrees that it will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, except on behalf of Buyer, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for any reason, for its own account, or on behalf of, or together with or through, any other Person or entity, whether as principal, agent, shareholder, participant, partner, promoter, director, officer, manager, member, equity owner, employee, consultant, sales representative or otherwise:

(i) own, control, manage, or participate in the ownership, control or management of, or render services to, or have a material financial interest in, or lend its name to, any business engaged in, or that is undertaking to become engaged in, in whole or in part, the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, producing, finishing, marketing, selling or distributing precast concrete, including, but not limited to free-standing walls, security walls, signage, utility vaults, manholes, panels, highway barriers, pre-stressed bridge girders, concrete piles, catch basins, pipe, site amenities and curb inlets, (the “Products”), in each case within the State of California (collectively, the “Territory”), provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) Products do not include ready-mix concrete prepared and delivered in an unhardened plastic state for placement and shaping into designed forms at a job site (“Ready-Mix Concrete”), and (B) Section 6.02(a) shall not restrict any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates from manufacturing, producing, designing, pouring, marketing, selling or distributing Ready-Mix Concrete;

(ii) solicit, or assist in the solicitation of, any Person having an office or conducting business anywhere within the Territory and to which any Seller sold, provided or solicited to sell Products or provide any services relating to Products, such as design, delivery, erection, installation, maintenance or repair of Products, in each case during the two-year period ending on the Closing Date, for the purpose of selling, providing or soliciting to sell Products or provide any such services; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 6.02(a) shall not restrict any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates from soliciting, or assisting in the solicitation of, any Person having an office or conducting business anywhere, for the purpose of selling, providing or soliciting to sell Ready-Mix Concrete; or

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the restrictions on Sellers in Section 6.02(a) shall not serve to preclude Xxxxx Pre-Cast, Inc., a subsidiary of Agent operating in Arizona, from delivering Products to Persons located in the Territory to which it has sold Products in the Territory during the twenty-four (24) months preceding the date hereof from its existing facilities.

(c) Although the parties have, in good faith, used their best efforts to make the provisions of Sections 6.01(a) and 6.02(a) reasonable in terms of geographic area, duration and scope of restricted activities in light of the scope and nature of the Business and the direct and indirect consideration to be received by Sellers hereunder, and it is not anticipated, nor is it intended, by any party hereto that an arbitral panel or court of competent jurisdiction would find it necessary to reform the provisions hereof to make them reasonable in terms of geographic area, duration or otherwise, the parties understand and agree that if an arbitral panel or court of competent jurisdiction determines it necessary to reform the scope of Sections 6.01(a) or 6.02(a) or any part thereof in order to make it binding and enforceable, such provision shall be considered reformable and divisible in all respects and such lesser or other scope as any such court shall determine to be reasonable shall be effective, binding and enforceable.

(d) The parties recognize and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by any Seller of Section 6.01(a) or 6.02(a), money damages would not be an adequate remedy to Buyer for such breach and, even if money damages were adequate, it would be difficult to ascertain or measure with any degree of accuracy the damages sustained by Buyer therefrom. Accordingly, if there should be a breach or threatened breach by any Seller of the provisions of Section 6.01(a) or 6.02(a), Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction restraining each such Seller from any such breach. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall limit or otherwise affect any remedies that Buyer or its Affiliates may otherwise have under Applicable Law.

(e) All of the covenants in Sections 6.01(a) and 6.02(a) are intended by each party hereto to be, and shall be construed as, agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of any Seller against Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of any covenant in Sections 6.01(a) or 6.02(a). The parties hereby agree that Section 6.01 and this Section 6.02 are a material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.03 Non-Disparagement. Each Seller agrees that it will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, except on behalf of Buyer, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for any reason, for its own account, or on behalf of, or together with or through, any other Person or entity, whether as principal, agent, shareholder, participant, partner, promoter, director, officer, manager, member, equity owner, employee, consultant, sales representative or otherwise, knowingly or intentionally damage or destroy the goodwill and esteem of Buyer or the Business with its suppliers, employees, patrons, customers, and any others who may at any time have or have had business relations with Buyer or the Business.

6.04 Employees of the Business.

At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Sellers with notice of its staffing level requirements (which Buyer may determine in its sole discretion) for Sellers’ salaried Business Employees, listed by name, job classification, and operating facility, and Buyer shall offer employment to that number of salaried Business Employees, with each such offer conditioned on the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and satisfactory completion of all of Buyer’s standard hiring requirements. Buyer intends to conduct open hirings to fill any other employee needs (including salaried and hourly positions) it may have in connection with its ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets. Business Employees who are not offered employment by Buyer pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 6.04(a) or who do not accept such offers of employment by Buyer will be terminated by Sellers no later than the Closing Date (“Terminated Employees”).

INDEMNIFICATION

10.01 Agreement to Indemnify.

(a) Subject to Section 10.01(f) of this Agreement and the other terms set forth herein, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from, against and in respect of any and all Damages incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee arising out of or as a result of: (i) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers herein; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Sellers herein; (iii) any Excluded Liability; (iv) the Storm Water Prevention Plan Permit disclosed as item 9 under the Perris Facility in Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Letter or Sellers’ failure timely to update or comply with such Permit, whether any such Damages are assessed with respect to the period prior to the Closing or the period on and after the Closing (v) any and all Proceedings, judgments, decrees, awards, assessments, fees and expenses incident to any of the foregoing or incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition thereof, or in enforcing this indemnification.

(b) Subject to Section 10.01(f) of this Agreement and the other terms set forth herein, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller and their respective Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from, against and in respect of any and all Damages incurred by any Seller Indemnitee arising out of or as a result of: (i) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer herein; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer herein; (iii) any of the Assumed Obligations; (iv) any Post Closing Claim, or (v) any and all Proceedings, judgments, decrees, awards, assessments, fees and expenses incident to any of the foregoing or incurred in investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition thereof, or in enforcing this indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no indemnification hereunder in respect of any matter for which Sellers are required to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of this Agreement or would be so required but for any materiality qualifiers in Article IV or limitations set forth in this Article X. As used herein, “Post Closing Claim” means any claim made by a third party (other than Sellers or their Affiliates) with respect to the operation of the Business, Facilities or Purchased Assets by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer on or after the Closing Date provided that such claim does not arise out of or relate to (1) any act or omission of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or (2) any contractual or other commercial arrangement entered into after the date hereof between Buyer and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand.

(c) If any third party asserts a claim against a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (each an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter for which such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification against Sellers or Buyers, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article X, then such Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party thereof within thirty (30) days thereafter, such notice to state the nature and basis of any claim made by the third party; provided that, no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve an Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is demonstrably prejudiced thereby. In the event the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the date the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter, then the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party within such 30-day period, assume the defense of such matter. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such matter, (i) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel at its sole cost and expense, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of a judgment or consent order with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement, in each case which either (A) grants the plaintiff or claimant any form of relief other than monetary damages which will be satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party or (B) fails to include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, in either such case without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such matter, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the matter in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, and with counsel of its choice, and without prejudice to its indemnification rights hereunder, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may retain separate counsel at their sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if defendants in any action include any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party, and any Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be material legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party inconsistent with those available to one or more Indemnifying Parties, or if a conflict of interest exists between any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or the defense thereof, or if the Indemnifying Party’s control of such defense would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Business or the outcome of the matter, then in any such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to re-assume such defense through its own counsel, and in such event (or in the event that the Indemnifying Party does not timely assume or diligently pursue the defense of such matter as provided above) the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and shall be paid by it from time to time within twenty (20) days of receipt of appropriate invoices therefore.

(d) In the event that an Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of any claim for indemnification hereunder that does not involve a third party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of Damages payable pursuant to this Section 10.01 and shall thereafter pay any other Damages payable pursuant to this Section 10.01 and arising out of the

same matter on demand, unless the Indemnifying Party disputes in writing their liability for, or the amount of, any such Damages within such 30-day period, in which case such payment shall be made as provided above in respect of any matters or amounts not so disputed and any Damages in respect of the matters so disputed shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after any determination (by agreement of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or pursuant to arbitration in accordance with Section 11.11) that the Indemnifying Party is liable therefor pursuant to this Section 10.01.

(e) In connection with any payment of Damages pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount calculated like interest on the amount of such Damages at the Reference Rate from the date of the Closing until the Indemnified Party shall have been indemnified in respect thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor Sellers shall have any indemnification obligation in respect of any inaccuracies or misrepresentations in or breaches of any representations or warranties under Section 10.01(a)(i) or 10.01(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, exceeds $210,000 (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent such Damages exceed the Basket. The aggregate liability of Sellers, on the one hand, and the aggregate liability of Buyer, on the other, to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, in respect of inaccuracies or misrepresentations in or breaches of or defaults under representations or warranties under Section 10.01(a)(i) or 10.01(b)(i), as applicable, shall not exceed the sum of (i) $8,000,000 less (ii) the amount of any payments actually made by Central to Buyer for indemnity claims under the Xxxxxxx Lease (such sum, the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Basket nor the Cap shall apply to any Damages resulting from or arising out of (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or (ii) a breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 4.02 (Authority; Enforceability), Section 4.08(c) (Title), Section 4.10 (Taxes), Section 4.13(a) (Ownership of Real Property) Section 4.16 (Employee Benefit Plans), and Section 5.02 (Authority, Enforceability), nor shall any such Damages apply toward satisfaction of the Basket or Cap. For purposes of calculating the Damages incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Sellers (but not for purposes of determining the existence of such inaccuracy or breach), any “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier contained in the applicable representation or warranty shall be disregarded.

(g) The amount of any Damages for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity under this Section 10.01 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates with respect to such Damages (net in each case of (i) any costs incurred to recover such amounts (including any related retrospective premium adjustments resulting from assertion of such claims), (ii) any losses in respect of the same matter that are not subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of this Agreement or any limitations contained in this Agreement, and (iii) any insurance proceeds that are subject to any self-insurance or re-insurance arrangements that are effectively equivalent to self-insurance arrangements by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates). Under no circumstances shall the possibility of a future insurance recovery be a basis for reducing the Damages subject to indemnification hereunder prior to the actual receipt of such benefit or recovery, or for limiting, postponing or delaying satisfaction of any indemnification obligation hereunder or any Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified.

(h) The parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the remedies provided in this Section 10.01 shall constitute the parties’ exclusive remedies for claims arising out of or related to this Agreement, including claims based on breaches of representations and warranties; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.01(h) will operate to limit any equitable remedies (including specific performance) available to an Indemnified Party, or the common law liability of any Indemnifying Party for fraud in the event such Indemnifying Party is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed a fraud against the Indemnified Party with respect to the representations and warranties of each party contained herein set forth in Section 4 or Section 5 of this Agreement.

(i) Any claim for indemnity under Sections 10.01(a)(i)-(iii), (v) or 10.01(b) SHALL NOT INCLUDE PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, DAMAGES BASED ON A MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS BASED ON THE LOSS OF PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE NOT THE SUBJECT OF A CONTRACT ACTUALLY AWARDED, unless in each case any such Damages arise out of a third party claim against an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.01(c).

(j) Any Indemnified Party shall act in good faith and use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of any Damages for which it seeks indemnification, provided however, no Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to resort to litigation or an outside collection agency as part of such mitigation, nor shall an Indemnified Party have any obligation to compromise or waive any other right or accept any liability or other future obligation or burden in order to mitigate its Damages.

(k) Subject to the accuracy of Sellers’ representations and warranties in Section 4.15, as of the Closing Date, and subject to the other provisions of this Article X, Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any and in respect of any Damages actually incurred by any Seller Indemnitee as a result of any failure of San Diego Precast to comply with the Worker Adjustment Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx, 00 X.X.X. §§000x, et seq. (“WARN Act”) in connection with its termination of the Business Employees at the Perris Facility or San Diego Facility at the Closing pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof.

10.02 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.02, all representations and warranties contained herein and the right to assert claims in respect of any breach thereof shall survive the Closing (and the delivery of any other Transaction Agreement) and any investigation heretofore or hereafter conducted by or on behalf of, or knowledge obtained or obtainable by such investigation by, the party entitled to benefit thereof, and shall expire eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.02(a) above, the representations and warranties made in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.08(c), 4.10, 4.16 and 4.18, and any claims against Sellers for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, and the right to assert claims in respect of any breach thereof, shall survive the Closing for the longest period allowed by Applicable Law, and the representations and warranties made in Section 4.14, and the right to assert claims in respect of any breach thereof, shall expire on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the survival period in respect of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, or any related claim, shall be extended automatically to include any time period necessary to resolve a claim for indemnification that was asserted in accordance with this Article X before expiration of such survival period, but not resolved prior to its expiration. Liability for any such item shall continue until such claim shall have been finally settled, decided or adjudicated.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the covenants, agreements or obligations contained herein shall survive the Closing (and the delivery of any other Transaction Agreement) in accordance with their respective terms and conditions.

(e) THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE X ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNITEE. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH HEREIN MAY RESULT IN THE INDEMNIFICATION OF A PARTY FOR ITS SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSSES OR EXPENSES PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE X TO THE EXTENT THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE LOSSES OR EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY WERE GREATER THAN THEY OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

11.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Letter and the Schedules hereto and the other Transaction Agreements) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Closing.

11.08 Construction. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained herein and the right to assert claims in respect of any breach thereof shall survive the Closing as set forth herein, and any investigation heretofore or hereafter conducted or knowledge obtained by or on behalf of the party entitled to benefit thereof, and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter. A disclosure in one Section of the Disclosure Letter relates only to the Sections of the Agreement that reference such Section of the Disclosure Letter or are referenced therein, and not to any other Section of the Disclosure Letter or Section of the Agreement, unless expressly stated, or unless it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that it is applicable to another Section of the Disclosure Letter or Section of the Agreement. Each party having participated in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and having been represented by counsel of its choosing, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities herein be construed against any particular party. The relationship of the parties hereunder shall be that of independent contractors, and not of fiduciaries, joint venturers, partners or agents.

11.09 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any employee or former employee of Sellers or any beneficiary or dependent thereof.

11.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas (without reference to its principles of choice or conflict of laws).

11.11 Arbitration. Except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 3.03 or Section 6.02(c) of this Agreement, all disputes arising directly or indirectly out of this Agreement, including the performance or non-performance of a party or the meaning or construction of any provisions (“Disputes”), shall be fully resolved in confidential arbitration proceedings as set forth in this Section 11.11. All Disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration conducted and governed by the American Arbitration Association, Rules of Commercial Arbitration (“AAA Rules”); provided that (a) any arbitrator selected or otherwise assigned to decide the matter shall be an attorney licensed in the United States who has at least ten years of legal experience in transacting or litigating commercial claims, (b) any arbitration hearings shall take place in New York, New York, and the parties shall use good-faith efforts to schedule such hearings on successive days, (c) the arbitrator(s) shall be required to hear, and rule on, dispositive motions (such as a motion for summary judgment) addressing any issues of law or undisputed facts as provided by Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 56, (d) the parties are entitled to depose such witnesses whose anticipated testimony is found by the arbitrator(s) to be necessary to determine the matter, (e) the parties are required to complete discovery during a period of time that shall not exceed six (6)

months, (f) no postponements are allowed in the absence of the parties’ agreement or good cause shown, (g) the parties are permitted, without limitation, to submit closing briefs, which must be considered in the arbitration decision if submitted to the arbitrator(s) within a reasonable time to be determined by the arbitrator(s), and (h) the arbitration decision must follow Applicable Law and consist of a reasoned award demonstrating how such law was followed. Such arbitration shall be conducted at a time and place mutually agreed upon by the parties; but, in the event of such failure to agree on either the place or the time for arbitration, such decision shall be made by the American Arbitration Association. In all cases, one arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the AAA Rules (the “Original Arbitrator”). The Original Arbitrator shall decide the matter, unless the amount in controversy (as determined by the Original Arbitrator) exceeds $10 million and either party elects to have a panel. In such event, there shall be a panel of three arbitrators, consisting of the Original Arbitrator and one arbitrator selected by each party. Any award or decision in arbitration shall be binding upon both parties and shall be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. Any Damages recoverable by one or more Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.01 in such arbitration shall bear interest from the date of the arbitral award until paid at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%), or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, if lower.

11.12 Agent. Agent is hereby appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact for each Seller, for and on their behalf, to act as their several and joint agent under this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement or instrument to be executed in connection herewith, and to give and receive notices and communications, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, claims for indemnification or otherwise, to authorize settlement of claims by or against any Seller, including claims for indemnification under Section 10.01, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement or instrument to be executed in connection herewith. Sellers agree that the appointment of the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.12 is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable except as provided by applicable law. In the event of the death, incompetence or legal incapacity of the Agent, Sellers shall promptly appoint, by written notice to the Buyer, a successor Agent with all of the powers provided by this Section 11.12. Any decision, act, consent, waiver or instruction of the Agent relating to any Agreement or instrument to be executed in connection herewith, or any matter arising thereunder or related thereto shall constitute a decision of all of the Sellers, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of them. The Buyer and the Buyer Indemnitees may rely upon any such written decision, consent, waiver or instruction of the Agent as being the decision, consent or instruction of each and every Seller. The Buyer and the Buyer Indemnitees are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, consent, waiver or instruction of the Agent.

11.13 Disclosure Letter. The Disclosure Letters attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation nor the mere inclusion of any item in any Section of either of the

Disclosure Letters as an exception to a representation or warranty shall be deemed an admission by a party hereto that such item represents a material fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Tenant shall have no claim to the condemnation award or proceeds in lieu thereof, except as expressly provided herein.

Without limiting the foregoing, any (a) mortgage or pledge of Tenant’s interest under this Lease, or (b) transfer or set of transfers which change the direct or indirect control or management of Tenant, shall require the prior written consent of Landlord. Any attempted assignment, sublease or other transfer of this Lease or any part of the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent when required hereunder is void and of no legal force or effect. No such assignment or sublease shall operate to release Tenant from liability under this Lease or to reduce any of its liabilities hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent and Additional Rent directly from any assignee or subtenant of Tenant following an Event of Default without releasing or limiting the liability of Tenant or any guarantor hereunder, except to the extent of Tenant’s liability for the Rent and Additional Rent collected by Landlord directly from such assignee or subtenant. Landlord’s consent to any assignment, subletting, or other transfer is not a waiver of Landlord’s right to approve or disapprove any subsequent assignment, subletting, or other transfer.

9.02 Assignment by Landlord. In the event of the transfer and assignment by Landlord of its interest in this Lease to a person assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder arising from and after the effective date of the assignment, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for performance of such obligations.

Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, upon such party’s request, and shall execute such agreements confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request. Tenant shall not be required to execute any such instruments or agreements that modify the terms of this Lease, limit Tenant’s rights under this Lease or impose additional obligations on Tenant.

(b) Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease, other than as described in subsection (a) above, and shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord (except that this 30-day period shall be extended for a reasonable period of time if the failure is not reasonably capable of cure within said 30-day period and Tenant promptly commences efforts to cure such failure and continues diligently thereafter all efforts necessary to cure such failure, but in no event shall such cure period exceed ninety (90) days).

(c) Tenant shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(d) Tenant shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof (“Debtor Relief Laws”); or Tenant shall be the subject of proceedings filed against Tenant under Debtor Relief Laws, and such proceedings are not discharged within sixty (60) days after commencement.

(e) A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant and such receiver or trustee is not discharged within sixty (60) days following the date of appointment.

(f) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon the Premises or upon all or any part of the Property and such lien is not removed (or bonded around pursuant to the applicable requirements of California law) within ten (10) days after Tenant becomes aware of such lien.

11.02 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity):

(a) Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord for the actual out of pocket damages suffered by Landlord as a result of the Event of Default, plus interest at the Default Rate, and Landlord may pursue a monetary recovery from Tenant.

(b) Without any further notice or demand whatsoever, Landlord may take any one or more of the actions permissible at law to insure performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and

INDUSTRIAL LEASE

obligations under this Lease. It is further agreed in this regard that in the event of any Event of Default described in subsection (b) of Section 11.01 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor (except for damages resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Finally, it is agreed that in the event of any Event of Default described in subsection (f) of Section 11.01 of this Lease, Landlord may pay or bond around such lien and in such event Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such action, with Tenant further agreeing that Landlord shall in no event be liable for any damages or claims resulting from such action (except for damages or claims resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(c) Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor (except for damages resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(d) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by written notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor (except for damages resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). In addition, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of any termination of possession effected pursuant to this subsection (d), said loss and damage to be determined as follows:

Until Landlord is able to relet the Premises under terms satisfactory to Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or before the first day of each calendar month, the Rent, Additional Rent and other charges provided in this Lease. If and after the Premises have been relet by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the tenth (10^th) day of each calendar month the difference between the Rent, Additional Rent and other charges provided in this Lease for such calendar month and the rent or other charges actually collected by Landlord for such month. If it is necessary for Landlord to bring suit in order to collect any deficiency, Landlord shall have the right to allow such deficiencies to accumulate and to bring an action on several or all of the accrued deficiencies at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to bring a similar action for any subsequent deficiency or deficiencies. Any amount collected by Landlord from subsequent tenants for any calendar month in excess of the monthly rents and other charges provided in this Lease shall be credited to Tenant in reduction of Tenant’s liability for any calendar month for which the amount collected by Landlord are less than the monthly rents and other charges provided in this Lease; but Tenant shall have no right to such excess other than the above-described credit.

If Landlord elects to exercise the remedy prescribed in subsection 11.02(d) above, this election shall in no way prejudice Landlord’s right at any time thereafter to cancel said election in favor of any other remedy provided herein. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such Event of Default. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and all persons claiming by and under Tenant, all rights and privileges which it might have to redeem the Premises or to continue the Lease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Premises.

PAGE 10

11.03 Expenses.

11.04 Injunctive Relief. Either party may restrain or enjoin any breach or threatened breach of any covenant, duty or obligation of the other herein contained. The remedies of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of each other.

11.06 No Waivers. No failure by any party hereto to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent to any breach thereof, and no waiver of any such breach, or the acceptance of full or partial rent during the continuance thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such provision. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect, or the rights of any party hereto with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

11.07 No Offsets. Tenant shall not assert any breach of an obligation, warranty or duty of Landlord as, and no such breach shall constitute, a defense, offset, or excuse to any obligation of Tenant hereunder, but Tenant may, subject to the other provisions of this Lease, pursue independent remedies for any such breach by Landlord.

11.08 Default By Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

The consent or approval, by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to or of any act by the other party requiring consent or approval, shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s or Tenant’s consent or approval, as the case may be, to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.

12.18 Environmental Liability; Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to the use or disposal of hazardous substances or materials, including without limitation the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. Sections 9601 et. seq. (collectively, the “Environmental Laws”), in, on or about the Premises. Tenant covenants and agrees that no Hazardous Materials, as defined below, shall be generated, processed, stored, transported, handled or disposed of on the Premises or released from the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees except in strict accordance with all Environmental Laws. If during the Term Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in violation of this Section 12.18 or that Tenant is in violation of any of the Environmental Laws, Landlord may obtain an environmental assessment from an environmental engineer and deliver the same to Tenant, and if such environmental assessment reveals that Tenant is in violation of this Section 12.18 other than a violation caused by or relating to a condition existing on the Premises as of the Commencement Date,, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within five (5) days after demand by Landlord for the actual, reasonable cost of such environmental assessment.

(a) Hazardous Materials. For the purpose of this Lease, “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances or related materials as defined in the Environmental Laws and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant thereto, and all asbestos, petroleum products and derivatives, polychlorinated biphenyls, flammable substances and materials defined as hazardous

INDUSTRIAL LEASE

materials under any Environmental Laws governing the use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, refinement, handling, production or disposal thereof, but shall exclude commonly used cleaning supplies used, stored and disposed of in strict compliance with all such laws, ordinances, codes, rules, orders, regulations and policies.

(b) Notification; Cleanup. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord if Tenant becomes aware of (i) any Hazardous Materials release or other Hazardous Material problem or liability with respect to the Premises; (ii) any actual or alleged violation of any of the Environmental Laws with respect to the Premises, or (iii) any lien or actual or threatened action with respect to any of the foregoing. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all actions as may be necessary or advisable for the cleanup of Hazardous Materials with respect to the Premises or the Property which may be necessitated as a result of Tenant’s violation of this Section 12.18 or which are otherwise required by any of the Environmental Laws including, without limitation, all removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with the Environmental Laws and shall further pay or cause to be paid all cleanup, administrative and enforcement costs of governmental agencies necessitated by such violation if obligated to do so by any of the Environmental Laws.

(c) Indemnity. Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, demands, costs, fees, penalties, charges and expenses incurred by or asserted or assessed against Landlord as a result of any violation by Tenant of this Section 12.18 during the Term. Landlord agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any and all claims, demands, costs, fees, penalties, charges and expenses incurred by or asserted or assessed against Tenant as a result of any Hazardous Materials brought onto the Property prior to the Effective Date or by Landlord in violation of Environmental Laws during the Term. In no event shall Tenant or Landlord be liable for any Hazardous Materials that migrate onto the Premises or the Property from adjacent property. Tenant and Landlord shall follow the procedures set forth in Sections 10.01(c), (d) and (e) of the Purchase Agreement with respect to indemnification claims asserted hereunder.

12.19 Limited Liability. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any breach hereunder shall be limited to $8,000,000; provided that such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any payments made by any of the Sellers under the Purchase Agreement that is applied toward the Cap thereunder. Anything in Section 12.18 notwithstanding, Tenant shall have no liability or obligation with respect to any condition existing on the Premises as of the Commencement Date or any condition that would constitute a breach of a representation or warranty by Landlord under the Purchase Agreement.

12.20 Holding Over. At the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in substantially the same condition as existed upon delivery of possession thereof to Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation, maintenance, repairs and replacements which Landlord is required to make hereunder, and damage caused by Landlord, its employees, agents, representatives and contractors or due to Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, excepted, and otherwise in the condition required by the other terms of this Lease. If Tenant shall hold over in the Premises after expiration of the Term, Tenant’s hold over, whether or not with the consent or acquiescence of Landlord, shall be deemed to be that of a tenancy at sufferance and in no event from month to month or from year to year, and it shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease applicable thereto, except Rent, and no extension or renewal of this Lease shall be deemed to have occurred by such holding over. The Rent for any such holdover period shall be 150% of the amount of Rent immediately prior to the expiration of the Term, in advance and without deduction or offset. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any other tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Premises effective upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, and for all other losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by reason of such holding over. Nothing contained in this Section 12.20 or this Lease shall be construed as a grant of Landlord’s permission for Tenant to remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of this Lease without the execution of a new Lease.

SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (this “Sublease”) is made and entered into effective as of the ____ day of ________________, 2012, by and between SAN DIEGO PRECAST CONCRETE, INC. (“Sublessor”) and OLDCASTLE PRECAST, INC. (“Sublessee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, FR/XXX Xxxxx, LLC (“Lessor”) and Sublessor entered into that certain Land Lease effective as of August 14, 2008, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (as amended, the “Lease”);

WHEREAS, U.S. Concrete, Inc. (“Seller”), parent of Sublessor, Sublessor, certain affiliates of Sublessor and Sublessee entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Contract”) dated as of ______________, 2012, whereby Sublessor agreed to sublease to Sublessee the entire property described in the Lease (the “Subleased Premises”);

WHEREAS, Sublessee desires to sublease that portion of the Premises defined above as the Subleased Premises from Sublessor upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

WHEREAS, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Lease; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree as follows:

1. Lease Governs. This Sublease is subject to all the provisions, terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease as follows:

(a) Sublessee Duties and Obligations. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Sublease, Sublessee assumes and agrees to perform and observe all provisions, obligations, terms, covenants, and conditions of Sublessor, as the Tenant under the Lease, as the same relate to the Subleased Premises and to Sublessee’s use and occupancy of the same during the Sublease Term; provided, however that Sublessor shall have no liability for any breach of the Lease existing as of the date hereof or any condition existing as of the date hereof that would constitute a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Lease.

(b) Rent. In addition to Sublessee’s obligation set forth in Section 1(a) above, Sublessee shall pay Sublessor Rent in the amounts and at the times as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Lease, Sublessee acknowledges and agrees to pay directly to Sublessor (in lieu of any payment by Sublessee to Lessor) upon demand, any and all other sums required to be paid by the Tenant under the Lease (including, but not limited to utilities (without limiting any proration called for in the Contract), as set forth in Section 13 of the Lease). Sublessor shall timely pay all such amounts to Lessor. All unpaid rent under this Sublease shall be due upon termination of this Sublease.

(c) Sublessor Retained Rights. Sublessee shall have no right to exercise any of the rights and options available to Sublessor, as Tenant under the Lease, as all such rights and options are retained by Sublessor and may be exercised or waived in Sublessor’s sole and absolute discretion. Sublessor shall enforce any such retained rights at Sublessee’s request to the extent enforcement thereof is reasonably necessary for Sublessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Subleased Premises.

(d) Sublessor Obligations. Sublessor shall not take any action or fail to take any action (unless required to be performed by Sublessee hereunder) which would be considered a default under the Lease. Sublessor shall not terminate the lease or amend or modify the lease in any manner that would increase the burdens on or otherwise be adverse to Sublessee, without the prior written consent of Sublessee.

(e) Lessor’s performance under Lease. Sublessee recognizes that Sublessor is not in a position to render any of the services or to perform any of the obligations required by Lessor by the terms of the Lease. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessee agrees that performance by Sublessor of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, the Lessor’s obligations under the Lease are conditional upon due performance by the Lessor of its obligations under the Lease, and Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for any default of the Lessor under the Lease, unless such default is the result of Sublessor’s default as Tenant under the Lease (and not as a result of a default of Sublessee hereunder). Sublessee shall not have any claim against Sublessor by reason of the Lessor’s failure or refusal to comply with any of the provisions of the Lease, unless such failure or refusal is a result of Sublessor’s breach of the Lease (and not as a result of a default of Sublessee hereunder), and Sublessee shall pay Rent and all other charges provided for herein without any abatement, deduction or set-off whatsoever. Sublessee covenants and warrants that it fully understands and agrees to be subject to and bound by all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of the Lease.

2. Subleased Premises. Subject to Lessor’s prior written approval of this Sublease in accordance with Section 7 of the Lease, Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby subleases from Sublessor, the Subleased Premises.

3. Term. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, this Sublease shall be in force for a term (“Initial Sublease Term”) commencing on the date of this Sublease and expiring on December 31, 2014 (“Initial Sublease Termination Date”). Subject to Sublessor’s approval in writing prior to any renewal, the term of this Sublease shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms, provided that Sublessee shall not be in default in any of its obligations under this Sublease or the Lease at the time of exercise of such option or at the time the renewal term would begin and provided further that Sublessee does not provide written notice to Sublessor 60 days prior to the expiration of the prior term stating its intent not to renew the term. The final renewal term shall terminate on the termination date set forth in the Lease (“Lease Termination Date”). The Initial Sublease Term along with any and all renewal terms are collectively referred to herein as the “Sublease Term”. If Sublessor obtains an offer from Lessor to terminate the Lease on a date that is earlier than the Lease Termination Date, then Sublessor shall promptly notify the Sublessee in writing of such offer, such notice to include the material terms of the offer. During the 30 days after receipt of such notice from Sublessor, Sublessee shall have the right to renew this Sublease until the Lease Termination Date by notifying Sublessee in writing of its agreement to do so, provided that Sublessee shall have no such right if it is in material default of any of its obligations under this Sublease or the Lease at the time of such notification to Sublessor.

4. Use Of Subleased Premises. Sublessee may use the Subleased Premises only for the purposes set forth in Section 3.1 of the Lease. Sublessee may not assign this Sublease or further sublet any part of the Subleased Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent.

5. Reduction and Relocation. If Sublessee is required to relocate its operations, plant, equipment and/or other improvements based on Lessor’s exercise of the Reduction and Relocation option set forth in Section 4 of the First Amendment to Land Lease, as modified by Section 2 of the Second Amendment to Land Lease, Sublessor shall pay or reimburse Sublessee for any reasonable and documented costs actually incurred by Sublessee in connection with any such relocation during the Initial Sublease Term and such costs shall be limited to those for moving, utility fees, restoration, and loss of profits associated with any contract actually awarded as of the date hereof. Any claim for payment or reimbursement hereunder SHALL NOT INCLUDE PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, DAMAGES BASED ON A MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS BASED ON THE LOSS OF PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE NOT THE SUBJECT OF A CONTRACT ACTUALLY AWARDED AS OF THE DATE HEREOF. Any such relocation shall be organized so as to minimize any interference with Sublessee’s operations.

6. Condition of Subleased Premises. Subject to the representations and warranties in the Contract, Sublessee accepts the Subleased Premises in its present condition and state of repair at the commencement of the Sublease. Upon termination, Sublessee shall surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublessor in a condition no worse than its condition on the date hereof, except normal wear and tear and any casualty loss.

7. Alterations. Sublessee may not alter the Subleased Premises or install improvements or fixtures without the prior written consent of the Sublessor.

8. Insurance. During the term of this Sublease, Sublessee shall continue to maintain insurance on the Subleased Premises in accordance with the requirements of Section 9 of the Lease. Further, Sublessee shall maintain general liability insurance for occurrences on the Subleased Premises and Lessor or Sublessor shall be listed as an additional insured thereunder. Upon written request of Sublessor, Sublessee shall provide Sublessor evidence that the above insurance requirements have been satisfied.

9. Inspections. Sublessor may enter at reasonable times to inspect the Subleased Premises upon reasonable notification of Sublessee or Sublessee’s designated representative.

10. Laws. Sublessee shall comply with all applicable laws, restrictions, ordinances, rules and regulations with respect to the Subleased Premises.

11. Repairs and Maintenance. During the Term, Sublessee shall bear all expense of repairing and maintaining the Subleased Premises as set forth in Section 12 of the Lease, provided, however, that Sublessee shall have no obligation to pay for, repair or maintain the Subleased Premises with respect to any conditions that existed as of the date hereof or any condition that would constitute a breach of a representation or warranty under the Contract. Sublessee shall promptly repair at Sublessee’s expense any damage to the Subleased Premises caused during the term directly or indirectly by any act or omission of the Sublessee or any person other than the Sublessor, Sublessor’s agents or invitees.

12. Indemnity. Subject to the accuracy of Sublessor’s representations and warranties contained in the Contract, Sublessee indemnifies Sublessor from the claims of all third parties for injury

or damage to the person or property of such third party arising from the use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Sublessee. This indemnification includes reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor in the defense of any suit derived from any claim indemnified hereunder and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease. Sublessor and Sublessee shall follow the procedures set forth in Sections 10.01(c), (d) and (e) of the Contract with respect to indemnification claims asserted hereunder.

13. Default; Remedies. A default by Sublessee with respect to the terms of the Lease shall be a default hereunder. Sublessee shall be entitled to the notice and cure periods set forth in the Lease. Sublessor shall thereafter be entitled to the remedies set forth in the Lease. Sublessor shall give Sublessee prompt notice of any notice alleging default of the Lease by Sublessor.

14. Holding Over. Sublessee shall surrender possession of the Subleased Premises upon termination of this Sublease. Any possession by Sublessee after termination creates a tenancy at sufferance and will not operate to renew or extend this Sublease. Sublessee shall pay $300 per day during the period of any possession after termination as damages, in addition to any other remedies to which Sublessor is entitled to and the amounts required to be paid by Sublessee under Section 1(b) hereof.

15. Attorney’s Fees. The prevailing party in any legal proceeding brought under or with respect to this Sublease is entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all costs of such proceeding and reasonable attorney’s fees.

16. Effect. Nothing contained herein shall in any way supersede, modify, replace, amend, change or waive the provisions of the Contract, each of which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given: (i) if personally delivered, when so delivered; (ii) if mailed, five (5) business days after having been sent by first class, registered or certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the intended recipient as set forth below; (iii) if given by facsimile, once such notice or other communication is transmitted to the facsimile number specified below, provided that (A) the sending facsimile generates a transmission report showing successful completion of such transaction, and (B) if such telecopy is sent after 5:00 p.m. local time at the location of the receiving facsimile, or is sent on a day other than a business day, such notice or communication shall be deemed given as of 9:00 a.m. local time at such location on the next succeeding business day; or (iv) if sent through a nationally-recognized overnight delivery service that guarantees next day delivery, the business day following its delivery to such service in time for next day delivery:
