ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February 19, 2018, by and between RG Onion Creek, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation (“Buyer”). Article XIII contains definitions, or references to the definitions, of the capitalized terms used in this Agreement. Seller and Buyer are each referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

Seller is the owner of those certain lots, parcels or pieces of land, together with all improvements thereon, commonly known as Onion Creek, or portions thereof, located in the City of Austin in Travis County, Texas, and more particularly described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5, the “Land”).

(f) all liabilities and obligations under the Other Contracts, whether such obligation or liability has accrued prior to the Closing or accrues following the Closing (except to the extent such liabilities or obligations, but for nonperformance or a breach or default of such other Contracts by Seller or its Affiliates, would have been paid, performed or otherwise discharged on or prior to the Closing Date or to the extent the same arises out of any such nonperformance, breach or default);

(g) Buyer’s agreement to pay directly, or reimburse Seller for, certain fees, expenses, Taxes or other items, but only if and to the extent expressly contemplated in this Agreement;

(h) all trade accounts payable and other operating liabilities of Seller and included as liabilities assumed by Buyer on the Closing Statement (including any such payables or liabilities that have accrued prior to the Closing); and

1.4 Excluded Liabilities. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer is not assuming, and will not be liable for, any liability or obligation of any nature of Seller, whether mature or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, or whether arising out of acts or occurrences before, on or after the Closing Date (such liabilities other than the Assumed Liabilities, the “Excluded Liabilities”), including, without limitation:

(a) any liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates (i) relating to any of the Excluded Assets, including any Removed Real Property, or (ii) arising prior to the Closing (other than as set forth in Section 1.3(b), 1.3(f) or 1.3(h));

(b) any litigation, arbitration, mediation and other claims or demands of any nature involving, related to or arising from any Removed Real Property;

(c) all liabilities for Taxes of Seller for any Tax period (including any liability for the Taxes of any other Person under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar

provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by Contract (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding such Taxes attributable to any period after the Closing Date under ordinary course lending, lease or commercial agreements being transferred to or assumed by Buyer) or otherwise) or Taxes arising out of Seller’s operations or ownership of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date;

(d) all costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with this Agreement or any Seller Transaction Document, including all claims for payment of fees and/or expenses as a broker or finder in connection with the origin, negotiation or execution of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of the Transaction based upon any agreement, arrangement or understanding between the claimant and Seller or any of its agents or Representatives;

(e) all Indebtedness of Seller;

(f) all liabilities arising from or relating to any employees, employee-related or employee benefit-related plans of Seller;

(g) all intercompany accounts payable in respect of the Purchased Assets that are owed by Seller to any of its Affiliates;

(h) all liabilities and obligations under the Other Contracts, to the extent accruing or arising out of any nonperformance or a breach or default of such Other Contracts by Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date;

(i) Seller’s agreement to pay directly, or reimburse Buyer for, certain fees, expenses, Taxes or other items but only if and to the extent expressly contemplated in this Agreement;

(j) all trade accounts payable and other operating liabilities of Seller, to the extent accruing or arising prior to the Closing Date and not included as liabilities assumed by Buyer on the Closing Statement; and

(k) all liabilities and obligations arising pursuant to Environmental Laws relating to any Owned Real Property, to the extent accruing or arising prior to the Closing Date.

1.5 Land Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby acknowledges that Seller has entered into certain Home Sale Contracts whereby certain portions of the Owned Real Property may be sold to buyers thereunder on or before the Closing, and therefore, such portions of the Owned Real Property closed on or before the Closing (collectively, the “Removed Real Property”) will not be included in the Transaction and will not constitute Purchased Assets. Accordingly, the Parties agree to amend Exhibit A hereto to exclude the Removed Real Property, and to adjust the Estimated Purchase Price in accordance with Article II on account thereof.

1.6 Nonassignable Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any Purchased Asset is not assignable to Buyer without the consent, approval, waiver, agreement or action of any other Person (other than Seller or its Affiliates), pursuant to

Contract or otherwise (each such asset, a “Nonassignable Asset”), there will be no assignment or attempted assignment by Buyer of such Nonassignable Asset at the Closing under this Agreement in the absence of such Person’s consent, approval, waiver, agreement or action, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, and this Agreement will not be deemed to constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof. In the case of each Nonassignable Asset, for a period ending six months following the Closing, the Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent, approval, waiver, agreement or action of such Person to the assignment of such Nonassignable Asset to Buyer. If any such consent, approval, waiver, agreement or action is not obtained from such Person prior to the Closing, then the Parties will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, cooperate with each other to agree to a reasonable arrangement whereby, from and after the Closing, (i) Seller provides or causes to be provided to Buyer and for the benefit of Buyer, any rights of Seller or its Affiliates in respect of such Nonassignable Asset and (ii) Buyer pays, performs and discharges all of the liabilities arising from or related to such Nonassignable Asset, and Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates with respect to any Losses incurred thereby in connection with such liabilities or enforcement of such rights on behalf of Buyer; provided, however, that once such consent, waiver, agreement or action is obtained (if ever), such Nonassignable Asset will promptly be assigned by Seller or its Affiliates at no additional cost to Buyer. For so long as Seller is deemed to hold any Purchased Asset pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Seller shall not amend, modify or otherwise alter any material terms of any Purchased Asset that is a Nonassignable Asset without Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

1.7 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. From and after the date hereof, Seller will, from time to time, at the reasonable request of Buyer and without further consideration, reasonably cooperate with Seller to do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, and assurances as may be reasonably required to confirm the conveyance and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and otherwise give effect to the intent of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties (a) acknowledge and agree that certain Assigned Contracts related to development of the Land or the construction of the Housing Units may have been entered into by one or more of Seller’s Affiliates for the benefit of Seller and may relate to both Purchased Assets and Excluded Assets, and (b) agree, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to cooperate with each other to ensure, from and after the Closing, that Seller or its Affiliates be provided, without cost to Buyer, the rights and benefits arising from or relating to such Assigned Contracts to the extent related to any Excluded Assets, and Buyer and its Affiliates agree to enforce, without cost to Buyer, upon the written request of Seller and for the benefit of Seller, any rights of Seller or its Affiliates in respect of such Assigned Contracts.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING

2.1 Purchase Price.

(a) Subject to such further credits, adjustments, and prorations as set forth herein (including any adjustments with respect to Removed Real Property in accordance with Section 1.5), the “Estimated Purchase Price” for the Purchased Assets will be equal to: (i) $10,297,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”); (ii) minus the Escrow Amount; (iii) plus the Estimated Net Asset Value Increase, if any; (iv) minus the Estimated Net Asset Value Decrease, if any. The Estimated Purchase Price will be further adjusted pursuant to Section 2.2.

(b) At the Closing, Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (without any withholding or deduction of any kind except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or otherwise required by Law, which amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated for all Tax and other applicable purposes as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding or deduction was made):

(i) to the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount for deposit into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”), to be held for the periods and distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement; and

(ii) to Seller, to the account or accounts specified in writing by Seller prior to the Closing Date, the Estimated Purchase Price.

2.2 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Closing Statement. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the Closing is scheduled to occur, Seller will prepare and furnish to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) reflecting Seller’s good faith estimates of (i) the Net Asset Value as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Asset Value”), and (ii) Seller’s calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price.

(b) Closing Statement. As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days, after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculations of (i) the Net Asset Value as of 11:59 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Net Asset Value”), and (ii) Buyer’s calculation of the Final Purchase Price. Following delivery of the Closing Statement, and upon reasonable request of Seller, Buyer will provide Seller and its advisors with access to Buyer’s employees, books and records to the extent reasonably related to Seller’s evaluation of the Closing Statement. If Buyer fails to deliver the Closing Statement within such sixty (60)-day period, Seller will deliver to Buyer its calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Final Purchase Price, and Seller’s calculation will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(c) Dispute Notice. If Seller disagrees with the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.2(b), Seller may, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice to Buyer (a “Dispute Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail each item or amount that Seller disputes (the “Disputed Items”), the amount in dispute for each Disputed Item and the reasons supporting Seller’s positions. Seller will be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement that are not Disputed Items. If Seller fails to deliver a Dispute Notice within such sixty (60)-day period, Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value and the Final Purchase Price will be deemed accepted by Seller and will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties.

(d) Resolution Period. If a Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(c), Buyer and Seller will, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery (the “Resolution Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Disputed Items or amounts in order to determine the amount of the Closing Net Asset Value and/or the Final Purchase Price, as applicable. If Buyer and Seller are able to reach agreement with respect to any Disputed Items, Buyer will promptly revise the Closing Statement to reflect such agreement.

(e) Independent Accounting Firm. If, upon the conclusion of the Resolution Period, or any mutually-agreed upon extension of the Resolution Period, Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement on all of the Disputed Items, they will jointly engage and submit the unresolved Disputed Items (the “Unresolved Items”) to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(e). The Independent Accounting Firm (i) will act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller and not by independent review, only the Unresolved Items, (ii) will make a determination with respect to the Unresolved Items only and in a manner consistent with this Section 2.2(e), (iii) will use the definitions set forth in this Agreement with no consideration given to any modification of such definitions, (iv) will be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Closing Statement to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and (v) will make a determination of the Unresolved Items within the range of Buyer’s and Seller’s disagreement. Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items as the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably request and will be afforded an opportunity to discuss the Unresolved Items with the Independent Accounting Firm at such hearing as the Independent Accounting Firm will request or permit; provided, that (y) each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Independent Accounting Firm and (x) no Party (or any of its Affiliates or Representatives) will engage in any ex parte communication with the Independent Accounting Firm at any time with respect to the Unresolved Items. The Independent Accounting Firm will deliver to Buyer and Seller as promptly as practicable, and will be instructed to deliver no later than thirty (30) days after its engagement, a written report setting forth such calculation. Such determination of the Independent Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller (absent fraud or manifest error) and Buyer will promptly revise the Closing Statement to reflect such determination upon receipt of such report. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be borne pro rata as between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based on the proportionate deviation of the respective adjustment amounts for the Unresolved Items proposed by Buyer and Seller, as set forth in the Closing Statement in the case of Buyer and the Dispute Notice in the case of Seller, from the determination of the final adjustment amounts made by the Independent Accounting Firm. The date on which the Closing Net Asset Value and Final Purchase Price are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.2 is referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(f) Adjustment to Purchase Price. The “Adjustment Amount” means an amount equal to (i) the Final Purchase Price (as finally agreed upon or determined pursuant to this Section 2.2), less (ii) the Estimated Purchase Price. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive amount, then promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller, the Adjustment Amount. If the Adjustment Amount is a negative amount, then promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, Seller will pay or cause to be paid to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount.

(g) No Adverse Actions. Buyer and Seller agree that, following the Closing and until the Adjustment Amount becomes final and binding upon the parties to this Agreement, Buyer will not take any actions with respect to the accounting books and records constituting Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date on which the Closing Statement is to be based that are not consistent with the accounting practices, principles, policies, judgments and methodologies used in the sample calculation of the Estimated Net Asset Value pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and Exhibit C to the extent any such actions would affect the calculation or determination of the Closing Net Asset Value.

2.3 Closing. The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, located at 400 South Hope Street, 18^th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties set forth in Article IX (other than those conditions with respect to actions the respective Parties will take at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as will be agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller; provided, however, to the extent Title Company, Seller and Buyer so agree, documents may be delivered and exchanged at the Closing by facsimile, PDF, or other electronic means, with originally executed signature pages to be exchanged immediately following the Closing, as appropriate. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” The parties to the Agreement agree to mutually instruct the Title Company to forward to the appropriate Recorder’s Office on the Closing Date the Deed with instructions to record the same.

2.4 Purchase Price Allocation. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Buyer and Seller will use good faith efforts to mutually agree upon an allocation of the Final Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under the Tax Code) among the Purchased Assets for applicable Tax purposes, including such modifications as are appropriate to reflect any adjustments in the Final Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement (the “Allocation”). If the Parties are able to reach agreement on the Allocation, the Parties shall prepare and file their respective Tax Returns consistent with the Allocation and shall take no positions contrary thereto in any Tax Return or other Tax filing or proceeding unless otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Seller (or their Affiliates) from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Buyer nor Seller (or their Affiliates) shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by

any Governmental Authority challenging such Allocation. If, after good faith efforts, the Parties are unable to reach an agreement on the Allocation, each of Buyer and Seller shall be free to determine its own Allocation for applicable Tax purposes.

Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer or Seller, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE VII

PRORATIONS

7.1 Property Taxes. In the case of real property Taxes, personal property Taxes, and special assessments relating to the Purchased Assets (collectively, “Property Taxes”), Seller will pay, on or prior to the Closing Date, all such Property Taxes payable with respect to any year prior to the year of Closing. Property Taxes for the year of Closing will be pro-rated as of the Closing Date based on the number of days included in the portion of such year deemed to end on the Closing Date and the number of days included in the remaining portion of such year, respectively (except that the cost or benefit of any reassessments or revaluations of property resulting from the Buyer’s purchase of the Purchased Assets will be allocated entirely to Buyer). Property Taxes for the year of Closing will be prorated on the following basis: (i) if a tax bill for the year of Closing is available, then proration will be based upon the current bill; (ii) if the assessment for the year of Closing is available, but not the actual tax bill, then proration will be based upon the assessment; and (iii) if neither the assessment for the year of Closing nor the tax bill is available, then proration will be based upon the prior year’s tax bill. If Tax statements for any Purchased Assets are sent directly to Seller by a Tax authority or other Governmental Authority after the Closing Date, Seller will cause such statements to be forwarded promptly to Buyer. Certified municipal non ad valorem liens and pending municipal liens for which work has been substantially completed as of the Closing will be paid by Seller and any other pending liens will be assumed by Buyer, provided that if any such non ad valorem assessment liens relate to special taxing districts for municipal services that are payable in installments, then Seller will only be responsible for the installment currently payable which will be prorated in the same manner as taxes. At the Closing, the foregoing items will be prorated and adjusted as indicated and reflected in a property tax statement to be prepared by the Title Company and approved by Buyer and Seller. If subsequent to the Closing, Taxes for the year of Closing are determined to be higher or lower than as prorated, a reproration and adjustment will be made at the request of Buyer or Seller upon presentation of actual tax bills, and any payment required as a result of the reproration will be made within ten (10) Business Days following demand therefor. This provision will survive the Closing.

7.2 Transfer Taxes. Buyer will pay all transfer, documentary, conveyancing, or similar Taxes or expenses and all recording fees that may be imposed as a result of the sale and transfer

of the Owned Real Property under this Agreement (collectively, “Real Estate Transfer Taxes”). Buyer and Seller will cooperate in timely submitting all filings, returns, reports and forms required to comply with applicable Real Estate Transfer Tax laws.

7.3 Utilities. All utilities will be apportioned pro-rata at the time of Closing with the understanding that Seller will be deemed the owner of the Owned Real Property until 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Closing Date and Buyer will be deemed the owner of the Owned Real Property as of 12:00 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain final utility readings, if applicable, prior to Closing. Any errors, omissions or adjustments required in computing the foregoing adjustment will be corrected within a reasonable time following Closing.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms of this Article X, Seller will indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, employees, agents, Representatives, successors and permitted assigns (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless against and in respect of any and all Losses, which such Buyer Indemnified Party has suffered, incurred or become subject to arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Article III of this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Seller under this Agreement;

(d) any Excluded Liabilities.

For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder, the terms “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifiers or monetary qualifiers to similar effect shall be disregarded.

10.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the terms of this Article X, Buyer will indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, trustees, employees, agents, Representatives, successors and permitted assigns (each a “Seller Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless against and in respect of any and all Losses which such Seller Indemnified Party has suffered, incurred or become subject to arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Article IV of this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Buyer under this Agreement;

(d) any liability arising out of the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets and the condition of the Owned Real Property, or any portion thereof, following the Closing (in each case except to the extent any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification for such Losses under Section 10.1(a)).

10.3 Claims.

(a) Inter-Party Claims. In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnified Party will notify the other Party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing promptly after the occurrence of the event giving rise to such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of such claim (an “Inter-Party Claim”); provided, however, that failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure, or the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party are materially increased as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records and assets of the Indemnified Party which evidence or support such claim or the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such Inter-Party Claim and the right, upon prior notice during normal business hours, to interview at a mutually convenient time any employee of the Indemnified Party related to the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such Inter-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to any such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute will be resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Third-Party Claims. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person (other than by an Indemnified Party, which claims are addressed in Section 10.3(a)) against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim (which notice will specify in reasonable detail the events giving rise to such Third Party Claim) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party are materially increased as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. If a Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof. The Indemnifying Party may also assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (subject to the limitations set forth below) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party reasonably acceptable to and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in such defense and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

Indemnifying Party will be liable for the fees and expenses of one outside counsel and any local counsel reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim (and not any fees and expenses allocated to any internal counsel) employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party will have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above), and the fees and expenses of such counsel will constitute Losses for purposes of this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the Indemnified Parties will reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect to, settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense if the Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal liability, (iii) in the case that Seller is the Indemnifying Party, seeks Losses that will not be fully satisfied by the Escrow Amount (or so much thereof as is then remaining on deposit in the Escrow Amount) or (iv) involves a claim that, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably recommend and that by its terms (A) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim and (B) releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates completely in connection with such Third Party Claim.

10.4 Survival. The respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement, and the rights of the Parties to seek indemnification with respect thereto, will survive the Closing; provided, however, that, (a) except in respect of any claims for indemnification as to which written notice will have been duly given pursuant to Section 10.3 prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “General Indemnification Period”), and subject to the other provisions of this Article X, such representations and warranties, and the rights of the Parties to seek indemnification with respect thereto, will expire at the end of the General Indemnification Period, except that the Fundamental Representations and the representations in Section 3.11 (Taxes) (the “Tax Representations”) will survive for the applicable statute of limitations plus sixty (60) days and (b) except in respect of any claims for indemnification as to which written notice will have been duly given pursuant to Section 10.3, and subject to the other provisions of this Article X, such covenants and agreements will survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms until performed by the respective Party.

10.5 Certain Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of Losses (except for Losses based upon actual common law fraud) that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to any and all claims for indemnification made

under Section 10.1(a) will be limited, individually and in the aggregate, to an amount equal to $514,850 (the “Indemnification Cap”). All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement will first be sought and satisfied from the Escrow Amount.

(b) Seller will have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Losses under Section 10.1(a), unless the aggregate amount of Losses is greater than $51,485 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties will, subject to Section 10.5(a), be entitled to indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible will not apply to Losses based on a breach of the Fundamental Representations or the Tax Representations or in the case of actual common law fraud of Seller, for which there will be no minimum threshold before recovery (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 10.1(b) through Section 10.1(d)).

10.6 Certain Other Restrictions on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnified Party will have any right to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) such Losses (i) arise solely out of changes after the Closing Date in applicable Law or interpretations or applications thereof (provided that this clause (i) shall not apply with respect to any Taxes with respect to a Purchased Asset for (or allocable to) any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on the Closing Date), or (ii) are duplicative of Losses that have previously been recovered hereunder.

(b) No Buyer Indemnified Party will have any right to assert any claim against any Indemnifying Party with respect to any Loss, cause of action or other claim to the extent such Loss is a Loss, cause of action or claim with respect to which such Buyer Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates has taken action (or caused action to be taken) with the primary intent of accelerating the time period in which such matter is asserted or payable in order to cause a claim to be made prior to the applicable expiration date set forth in Section 10.4.

(c) Buyer and Seller agree to treat any indemnification payments received pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

10.7 Calculation and Mitigation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article X will be net of any amounts recovered by such Indemnified Party under insurance policies or other collateral sources with respect to such Losses in excess of the sum of (i) reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to collection under such policies or other collateral sources, and (ii) the deductible associated therewith to the extent actually paid. The Indemnified Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such insurance policies or collateral sources (which efforts will not require the initiation of litigation or pursuit (or continued pursuit) to the extent such claim is reasonably determined by the Indemnified Parties to not be covered and payable under or by such insurance

policies or collateral sources), and in the event the Indemnified Parties actually receive any recovery, the amount of such recovery will be applied first, to refund any payments made by the Indemnifying Parties in respect of indemnification claims pursuant to this Article X which would not have been so paid had such recovery been obtained prior to such payment, if any (provided that if such payments were made out of the Escrow Account and the Escrow Account is still in effect, such amounts will be returned to the Escrow Account), and second, any excess to the Indemnified Parties. If a Buyer Indemnified Party fails to pursue recoveries under any “occurrence” based insurance policies or other collateral sources, then Seller will have the right of subrogation to pursue such insurance policies or other collateral sources (to the extent consistent with the terms of such policies) and may take any reasonable actions necessary to pursue such rights of subrogation in their name or the name of the party from whom subrogation is obtained. Buyer will reasonably cooperate, and cause its Representatives and Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, with Seller to pursue any such subrogation claim.

(b) Each Party’s right to indemnification hereunder will be subject to its obligations under applicable Law, including under common law, to mitigate damages.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of the other Indemnified Parties that, from and after the Closing, except as provided in Section 12.16, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X and in the Holding Indemnity Agreement (other than claims and causes of action based on actual common law fraud). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, on behalf of itself and each of the other Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than rights, claims and causes of action based on actual common law fraud) it may have against any other Parties arising under or based upon any applicable Law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X), including, but not limited to, its right to pursue any action or claim other than as expressly stated in this Agreement.

10.9 Special Rule for Fraud. Nothing in this Article X will operate to limit the common law liability of a Party (the “Liable Party”) to another Party for Losses arising from the fraud of such Liable Party if such Liable Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed actual common law fraud against such other Party.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date as follows:

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

(b) by Buyer or Seller, if (i) the Closing does not occur on or before April 1, 2018 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause will not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this

Agreement resulted in the failure of the Closing to be consummated by the Termination Date or (ii) consummation of the Transaction would violate any non-appealable final order, decree, or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction; provided, that Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) if such Party’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a material cause of such order, decree, or judgment;

(c) by Buyer if either (i) there has been a material breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Article III or (ii) Seller has breached or violated any covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement, in each case, where such breach or violation (x) would result in the failure to satisfy a condition set forth in Section 9.1 and (y) cannot be, or has not been, cured by the date that is thirty (30) days after Buyer notifies Seller in writing of the breach or violation; provided, that Buyer will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(c) if Buyer is then in breach of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(d) by Seller if either (i) there has been a material breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article IV of this Agreement or (ii) Buyer has breached or violated any covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement, in each case, where such breach or violation (x) would result in the failure to satisfy a condition set forth in Section 9.2 and (y) cannot be, or has not been, cured by the date that is thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Buyer in writing of such breach or violation; provided, that Seller will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(d) if Seller is then in breach of its obligations under this Agreement

Nothing in this Article XI will be deemed (a) to release any Party from any liability for any material breach by such Party of this Agreement or fraudulent acts by such Party, the remedies for which will not be limited by the provisions of this Section 11.2, or (b) to impair the right of either Party to compel specific performance by the other Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

11.3. Return of Confidential Information. If the Transaction is terminated, all Confidential Information received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates will be kept confidential and subject to the terms of Section 5.3, and destroyed or returned upon Seller’s request, except that Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives will be entitled to retain copies of the Confidential Information and will not be required to erase electronically stored Confidential Information that has been saved to a back-up file, to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law or such Person’s compliance with bona fide internal document retention policies, which copies will at all times remain subject to the confidentiality and use terms of Section 5.3, which terms will survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to any copies retained by such Persons.

ARTICLE XII

12.5 Due Diligence Review; No Additional Representations and Warranties. Buyer is an informed and sophisticated purchaser, and, together with Buyer’s Representatives, is

experienced in the evaluation and purchase of assets such as the Purchased Assets. Buyer acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that, (a) Buyer has completed to its satisfaction its own due diligence investigation, and based thereon, formed its own independent judgment with respect to the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (b) Buyer has been furnished with, or given full access to, such documents and information about Seller and the Purchased Assets as Buyer and its Representatives have deemed necessary to enable Buyer to make an informed decision with respect to the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (c) in entering into this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis and the representations and warranties by Seller expressly set forth in Article III, (d) except as expressly set forth in Article III, no representation or warranty has been or is being made by any Person as to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided or made available to Buyer or its Representatives and (e) neither Seller nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Buyer and its Representatives and Affiliates, or Buyer’s or any of its Representatives’ or Affiliates’ use, of any written or oral information, and any information, documents or material made available to Buyer and its Representatives in any form (including any Projections). Buyer acknowledges that it and its Representatives have been provided access to the Data Room and have reviewed the materials contained therein.

12.6 Disclaimer Regarding Projections. In connection with Buyer’s investigation of the Purchased Assets, Buyer and its Representatives have received from Seller (directly or through their Representatives) certain projections, estimates and other forecasts and certain business plan information (collectively, the “Projections”). Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make the Projections, that it is familiar with such uncertainties, that it is making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all of the Projections so furnished to it and any use of, or reliance by, it on the Projections will be at its sole risk, and without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, that it will have no claim against anyone with respect to the Projections; provided, however, that the foregoing will not be interpreted to waive any rights that Buyer has with respect to recovery for breaches of the representations and warranties made by Seller in Article III.

12.7 Interpretation.

(a) Except as otherwise provided or unless the context otherwise requires, whenever used in this Agreement, (a) any noun or pronoun will be deemed to include the plural and the singular, (b) the use of masculine pronouns will include the feminine and neuter, (c) the terms “include” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation,” (d) the word “or” will be inclusive and not exclusive, (e) all references to Sections or Articles refer to the Sections or Articles of this Agreement, all references to Schedules refer to the Schedules attached to or delivered with this Agreement, as appropriate, and all references to Exhibits refer to the Exhibits attached to this Agreement, each of which is made a part of this Agreement for all purposes, (f) each reference to “herein” means a reference to “in this Agreement,” (g) each reference to “$” or “dollars” will be to United States dollars, (h) each reference to “days” will be to calendar days, and (i) unless otherwise specified, each reference to any Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time.

(b) The provisions of this Agreement will be construed according to their fair meaning and neither for nor against any Party irrespective of which Party caused such provisions to be drafted. Accordingly, any rule of law or legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by an attorney in connection with the preparation and execution of the Transaction Documents.

(c) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the measure of a period of one (1) month or one (1) year for purposes of this Agreement will be that date of the following month or year corresponding to the starting date; provided, however, that if no corresponding date exists, the measure will be that date of the following month or year corresponding to the next day following the starting date. For example, one (1) month following February 18th is March 18th, and one (1) month following March 31 is May 1.

(d) The Disclosure Schedule is hereby incorporated into this Agreement to the same extent as though fully set forth in this Agreement (provided, that in no event will any information or disclosures therein be deemed or interpreted to broaden or otherwise amplify the representations and warranties in this Agreement). The Disclosure Schedule is arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement, and the disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule will qualify each other section and subsection in this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably apparent from a reading of the text of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other section and subsection. Information in the Disclosure Schedule under any particular schedule or section therein will be deemed disclosed with respect to all other schedules or sections therein and any representations, warranties or covenants therein of Seller or Buyer where the applicability of such information to such other schedules or sections or representations, warranties or covenants is reasonably apparent, regardless of whether a cross-reference to the applicable section or schedule is actually made. Any matter disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed an admission or representation as to the materiality of the item so disclosed, and matters disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, to any third party or will confer or give to any third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right.

12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement is made pursuant to, and will be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of the principal place of business, residence or domicile of the Parties, and without giving effect to otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of Law that would give effect to the Laws of another jurisdiction.

12.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS A PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH

THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.9. EACH OF THE PARTIES MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES TO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

12.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if subject matter jurisdiction in that court is not available, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if neither the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware nor the United States District Court for the District of Delaware has subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) for purposes of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction. Each Party hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such dispute, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (a) such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, (b) such Party’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, (c) such Party and such Party’s property are immune from any legal process issued by such courts or (d) any Proceeding commenced in such courts is brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 12.10, a Party may commence a Proceeding in a court other than the above-named courts exclusively for the purposes of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

12.11 Section Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced pursuant to any applicable Law or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement (or remaining portion of such provision) will nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, to the end that the Transaction as originally contemplated is fulfilled to the extent possible.

12.13 Counterparts, Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or PDF transmission, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of such counterparts together will be deemed to be one and the same agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and, except as set forth in Article X, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Disclosure Schedule and the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the Transaction and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no warranties, representations, or other agreements between the Parties hereto, or on which any of them has relied in connection with the subject matter hereof, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

12.15 Attorneys’ Fees. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute related to or based upon this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover from the other Party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

12.16 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise were breached or violated. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the other Parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement in any claim, action, cause of action or suit (whether in Contract or tort or otherwise), litigation (whether at law or in equity, whether civil or criminal), controversy, assessment, arbitration, investigation, hearing, charge, complaint, demand, notice or proceeding to, from, by or before any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity, and that Party agrees to cooperate fully in any attempt by the other Parties in obtaining any such equitable remedy. Each Party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate or that the consideration reflected in this Agreement was inadequate or that the terms of this Agreement were not just and reasonable.

12.17 Incorporation of Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

12.18 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agree that they shall sign such additional and supplemental documents as may be necessary to implement the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement when reasonably requested to do so by any Party.
