ITEM 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 9, 2020, Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of March 9, 2020 with its wholly owned subsidiary, OSC Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), TAS Energy Inc. (“TAS Energy”), and Element Partners II, L.P., in its capacity as the exclusive representative of the stockholders of TAS Energy (“TAS Stockholders”). The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will merge with and into TAS Energy and each outstanding share of TAS Energy capital stock will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the merger consideration (described below) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Upon the consummation of this merger, TAS Energy will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, the Company has agreed to pay to the TAS Stockholders an initial aggregate purchase price comprised of $106 million payable in cash, subject to working capital and certain other adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement, and $14 million aggregate principal amount of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) bearing interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum and to be paid in full on the second anniversary of the consummation of the merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for an additional earn-out amount to become payable by the Company to the extent that TAS Energy’s EBITDA (as defined in an agreement included as an exhibit to the Merger Agreement) during the periods from closing until June 30, 2021 and from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 exceeds certain thresholds (the “Earn-Out Payments”). The Company retains certain rights to offset in respect to any indemnity claims made pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. The consummation of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement and the above description have been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, TAS Energy or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of the dates specified therein, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each contracting party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should be aware that the representations, warranties and covenants, or any description thereof, may not reflect the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, TAS Energy or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company or TAS Energy. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company and TAS Energy and their respective subsidiaries that the Company includes in reports, statements and other filings that it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Article 1
THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Such time and date are referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. Subject to the provisions of Article 7 of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger on the date and time and at the place determined pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall not result in the termination of this Agreement and shall not relieve any party to this Agreement of any obligation under this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall be the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each share of common stock of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become, and shall thereupon represent, one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as each share so converted, and shall thereupon constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Company Capital Stock; Company Treasury Stock; Dissenting Shares.

(i) Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Company Stockholder, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.7 and throughout this Agreement, (A) each outstanding share of Series AA Preferred Stock (other than Company Treasury Stock and Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and converted automatically into (1) the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to (i) for each Company Stockholder possessing Series AA Preferred Stock shall receive the amount set forth opposite their name in Section 1.7(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Series AA Preferential Amount Per Share”); (2) the Per Share Closing Participation Consideration for such share, (3) the right to receive upon payment of the Note and subject to Article 6, the Note Amount Per Share for such share, and (4) the right to receive the Earn-Out Amount Per Share at the time and on the terms set forth in the Earn-Out Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Earn-Out Agreement”); and (B) each outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Company Treasury Stock and Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and converted automatically into (1) the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the Per Share Closing Participation Consideration for such share, (2) the right to receive upon payment of the Note and subject to Article 6, the Note Amount Per Share for such share, and (3) the right to receive the Earn-Out Amount Per Share at the time and on the terms set forth in the Earn-Out Agreement, in each case of subsection (A) and (B) above subject to reduction for applicable Tax withholding, upon the surrender of the applicable Certificate (or alternatively, a Lost Instrument Affidavit and a Lost Instrument Indemnity Agreement), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein. From and after the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock that is canceled and converted into the right to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration by virtue of the Merger pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(i) shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate formerly representing each such share of Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock evidenced by such certificate pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(i) (subject to reduction for applicable Tax withholding), upon the surrender of the applicable Certificate (or alternatively, a Lost Instrument Affidavit and a Lost Instrument Indemnity Agreement) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein. For purposes of calculating the amount of cash payable to each Company Stockholder in respect of such Company Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(i), (A) all of the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall be aggregated on a certificate-by-certificate basis, if applicable, and (B) the amount of cash payable in respect of each such certificate shall be rounded down to the nearest cent.

- 4 -

(ii) Company Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, each share of Company Capital Stock that is outstanding and owned by the Company as treasury stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Company Treasury Stock”) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall thereupon cease to exist.

(iii) Dissenting Shares.

(A) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time eligible under Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) to exercise appraisal rights and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand, and properly demands, appraisal of such shares pursuant to Section 262, and complies in all respects with the provisions of Section 262 and has not effectively withdrawn or lost the right to demand relief as a dissenting stockholder under the DGCL as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i), and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders under Section 262. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.7(b)(iii)(A), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal under Section 262, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be canceled and converted into and represent only the right to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i), without interest, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

(B) The Company shall (1) comply with the requirements of Section 262, (2) give Parent prompt notice of any written demand received by the Company pursuant to Section 262 and of withdrawal of any such demand, and provide copies of any documents or instruments served with respect thereto pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company, and (3) give Parent the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer.

(C) Any amount paid by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent to any Person with respect to Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 in excess of the amount payable pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i) for each such Dissenting Share, and all interest, costs, expenses and fees as incurred by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent in connection with the exercise of all rights under Section 262, shall constitute Losses for purposes of this Agreement, and the Surviving Corporation and Parent, as the case may be, shall, without limiting any other rights, be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 and to recover such Losses, without limitation.

- 5 -

(c) Company Options and Company Warrants. No Company Options (whether vested or unvested) and no Company Warrants (whether or not exercisable or vested) shall be assumed by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation and all issued and outstanding Company Options and Company Warrants shall be terminated or canceled prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Merger Consideration as Maximum Payment Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the aggregate amounts payable by Parent hereunder with respect to all outstanding Company Capital Stock shall not exceed the Merger Consideration.

1.8 Merger Consideration Adjustment (Transaction Expenses & Indebtedness).

(a) Pre-Closing Adjustment Statement. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Adjustment Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimates of (i) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Transaction Expenses accrued but unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”).

(b) Final Adjustment Statement. As soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Company’s Adjustment Statement”) setting forth the Stockholder Representative’s good faith calculations of (i) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Closing Indebtedness”) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Transaction Expenses accrued but unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Transaction Expenses”).

(c) Following receipt of Company’s Adjustment Statement, Parent shall either accept Company’s Adjustment Statement, which statement shall then be deemed the final statement (“Final Adjustment Statement”) or certify to the Stockholder Representative its alternate calculation of the Final Closing Indebtedness and/or the Final Transaction Expenses, as applicable (“Parent’s Adjustment Statement”). If Parent fails to accept the Company’s Adjustment Statement or deliver to the Stockholder Representative Parent’s Adjustment Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Company’s Adjustment Statement, the Company’s Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding on the parties. If Parent timely delivers Parent’s Adjustment Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall then make good faith efforts to meet and resolve the differences between the Company’s Adjustment Statement and Parent’s Adjustment Statement. If within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Stockholder Representative of Parent’s Adjustment Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative have been unable to reach agreement, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may engage the Accounting Firm to determine which calculation of the Final Closing Indebtedness and/or the Final Transaction Expenses, as applicable, is more accurate, the Company’s Adjustment Statement or Parent’s Adjustment Statement, and shall certify the Accounting Firm’s choice as the Final Adjustment Statement. The Accounting Firm shall certify this decision in writing to Parent and the Stockholder Representative; the Accounting Firm shall have no other choice but to select either the Company’s Adjustment Statement in its entirety or Parent’s Adjustment Statement in its entirety. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Firm, including any attorneys’ fees related thereto, shall be borne by (i) the Company Stockholders if Parent’s Adjustment Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note, or (ii) Parent if the Company’s Adjustment Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate.

(d) Once the Final Adjustment Statement has been determined pursuant to Section 1.8(c), the following shall occur: (i) if the Final Adjustment Statement reflects that the sum of the Final Indebtedness plus the Final Transaction Expenses is greater than the sum of the Estimated Closing Indebtedness plus the Estimated Transaction Expenses set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Statement, then the Company Stockholders shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds the amount equal to the surplus within ten (10) Business Days; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note; and (ii) if the Final Adjustment Statement reflects that the sum of the Final Indebtedness plus the Final Transaction Expenses is less than the sum of the Estimated Closing Indebtedness plus the Estimated Transaction Expenses set forth in the Estimated Adjustment Statement, then Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders, an amount equal to such shortfall by wire transfer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days.

1.9 Merger Consideration Adjustment (Working Capital Adjustment). Following the Closing, and after seventy-five (75) days, the Stockholder Representative shall undertake and prepare a look-back analysis that, in accordance with GAAP, shall determine what the Company’s Working Capital was on the Closing Date. The Stockholder Representative and Parent agree that the Working Capital shall be calculated as set forth on Section 1.9 of the Disclosure Schedule hereto. Pursuant to this Section 1.9, the Stockholder Representative shall provide Parent with its proposed calculation of the Company’s Working Capital as of Closing, and reasonable supporting information relating to its determination of the Working Capital all as set forth in writing by the Stockholder Representative and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 (the “Company’s WC Statement”).

(a) Following receipt of Company’s WC Statement, Parent shall either accept Company’s WC Statement, which statement shall then be deemed the final statement (“Final WC Statement”), or provide to the Stockholder Representative its alternate calculation of working capital (“Parent’s WC Statement”). If Parent fails to accept the Company’s WC Statement or deliver to the Stockholder Representative Parent’s WC Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Company’s WC Statement, the Company’s WC Statement shall be final and binding on the parties. If Parent timely delivers Parent’s WC Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall then make good faith efforts to meet and resolve the differences between the Company’s WC Statement and Parent’s WC Statement. If within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Stockholder Representative of Parent’s WC Statement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative have been unable to reach agreement, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may engage the Accounting Firm to determine which calculation of Working Capital is more accurate, the Company’s WC Statement or Parent’s WC Statement, and shall certify the Accounting Firm’s choice as the Final WC Statement. The Accounting Firm shall certify this decision in writing to Parent and the Stockholder Representative; the Accounting Firm shall have no other choice but to select either the Company’s WC Statement in its entirety or Parent’s WC Statement in its entirety. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Firm, including any attorneys’ fees related thereto, shall be borne by (i) the Company Stockholders if the Parent’s WC Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note, or (ii) Parent if the Company’s WC Statement is selected by the Accounting Firm as more accurate.

- 7 -

(b) Once the Final WC Statement has been determined pursuant to Section 1.9(a), the following shall occur: (i) if the Final WC Statement reflects Working Capital greater than the Required Working Capital, then Parent shall pay the Company Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days following determination of the Final WC Statement, an amount equal to such surplus less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of the payment of such surplus; and (ii) if the Final WC Statement reflects Working Capital less than the Required Working Capital, then the Company Stockholders shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent within ten (10) Business Days following determination of the Final WC Statement, an amount equal to such shortfall by wire transfer in immediately available funds; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving payment from the Company Stockholders, Parent may in its sole discretion elect to offset an amount equal to such amount from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note.

(c) For clarification of the above, it is the intent of the parties that at the Effective Time the Working Capital shall be at least equal to the Required Working Capital as of the Closing Date. If any payment owed pursuant to this Section 1.9 is not made when due pursuant to Section 1.9(b), interest shall accrue on the amount outstanding at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum until final payment is made.

1.10 Merger Consideration Adjustment (WIP Adjustment).

(a) As promptly as practical after the end of each of the first two calendar years following Closing Date and then after the commencement of the warranty period under all Contracts entered into before the close of business on the Closing Date (collectively, the “WIP Projects”), Parent shall perform an analysis with respect to the WIP Projects (each such analysis prepared after the end of a calendar year and after the completion of all such Contracts, the “WIP Analysis”). Each WIP Analysis shall show the amount by which the Company’s net earnings as of the Closing were overstated or understated by reason of any improper accruals of revenue and expenses on the WIP Projects as of the Closing for such period (as if the final amounts had been known as of the Closing) (the “WIP Adjustment”). Each WIP Adjustment shall be determined on an aggregate basis netting out over and under accruals for such period. The WIP Adjustment shall be calculated on a contract-by-contract for such period basis based on the methodology set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto.

- 8 -

(b) Within sixty (60) days after completion of each such period, Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representative with its proposed calculation of the applicable WIP Adjustment in writing by Parent to the Stockholder Representative and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 (each, the “Proposed WIP Statement”), and the Stockholder Representative shall either accept the applicable Proposed WIP Statement, which will then be deemed final and binding on the parties, or certify to Parent the Stockholder Representative’s alternate calculation of the applicable WIP Adjustment (each, the “Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement”). If the Stockholder Representative fails to accept the applicable Proposed WIP Statement or deliver to the Parent the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for such period within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Proposed WIP Statement, the applicable Proposed WIP Statement shall be final and binding on the parties.

(c) If the Stockholder Representative timely delivers the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for an applicable period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall make good faith efforts to meet and resolve any differences between the Proposed WIP Statement and the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for such period. If within thirty (30) days after receipt by Parent of the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement for such period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative have been unable to reach agreement, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may engage the Accounting Firm to calculate the WIP Adjustment, and request the Accounting Firm to make its determination within thirty (30) days of its engagement. The WIP Adjustment determined by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties; provided, that the WIP Adjustment amount calculated by the Accounting Firm shall be either the WIP Adjustment amount set forth in the Proposed WIP Statement or the Parent’s WIP Statement for such period. The Accounting Firm shall certify its decision in writing to Parent and the Stockholder Representative. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by (i) the Company Stockholders if the Proposed WIP Statement is determined by the Accounting Firm as the more accurate, or (ii) Parent if the Stockholder Representative’s WIP Statement is determined by the Accounting Firm as the more accurate.

(d) After a WIP Adjustment for an applicable period (each, the “Final WIP Adjustment”) has been determined as final and binding on the parties, the following shall occur: if the Final WIP Adjustment for such period is (i) a negative amount, the Company Stockholders shall (X) first offset an amount equal to such amount (as a positive number) from the amount owed by Parent pursuant to the Note and (Y) after the Note has been exhausted or paid in full, pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent an amount equal to such amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days following the determination of the Final WIP Adjustment; and (ii) a positive amount, Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, within ten (10) Business Days following the determination of the Final WIP Adjustment, the total amount reflected by the Final WIP Adjustment less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of the payment of such Final WIP Adjustment. If any payment owed pursuant to this Section 1.10 is not made when due, interest shall accrue on the amount outstanding at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum until final payment is made.

1.11 Payment Procedures.

(a) Closing Payments. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall distribute the Closing Cash Merger Consideration to Company Stockholders in accordance with the Payment Spreadsheet. All interest and other earnings from any investment of funds held from time to time with respect to the Merger Consideration shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such interest or other earnings shall accrue to or for the benefit of any Company Stockholders.

(b) Payment Procedures. Prior to the Closing and after receiving the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company shall mail to each Company Stockholder a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Transmittal Letter”), which Transmittal Letter shall (A) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificate(s) representing shares of the Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) that are being converted into the right to receive payment pursuant to Section 1.7 shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Parent (B) include an agreement that such holder shall receive its portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i), (C) be in such form and have such other reasonable provisions not inconsistent with this Agreement as Parent may specify, (D) include IRS Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN or any successor form, and (E) include instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates for that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof under this Agreement. The payment of the appropriate Stockholder Closing Payment to any Company Stockholder is expressly conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Transmittal Letter, properly completed and duly executed by each such Company Stockholder. After the Effective Time, and within five (5) business days after Parent receives a Certificate, properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer, formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock held by any Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with a properly completed and duly executed Transmittal Letter, Parent shall pay to such Company Stockholder (A) that portion of the Merger Consideration payable to such Company Stockholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Certificates, less (B) that portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock that is required to be withheld from such Company Stockholder under applicable Tax withholding laws, if any, (such amount less such deductions, with respect to each such Company Stockholder, being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Closing Payment”), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of any portion of the applicable Stockholder Closing Payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment (A) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, and shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid, or (B) shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable. From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.11(b) each Certificate shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein.

- 10 -

(c) No Liability. The Company Stockholders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements), and only as general creditors thereof, with respect to the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of any shares of Company Capital Stock that have not be properly tendered pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.11(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Company Stockholder for any amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to and in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by a Company Stockholder one (1) year after the Effective Time (or such earlier date (if any), which is immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of Parent, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d) Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the payment of any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. To the extent that such amounts are not so deducted and withheld, such Person shall indemnify Parent and its affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), for any amounts imposed by a Governmental Authority, together with any related Losses.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Instruments. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the Company Stockholder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (a “Lost Instrument Affidavit”), Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall pay such Company Stockholder the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled to pursuant to Section 1.7; provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and/or a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity, against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed (the “Lost Instrument Indemnity Agreement”).

- 37 -

(ii) Parent, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Post-Closing Tax Periods, including for such purposes, any Straddle Period (the “Parent Prepared Returns”) provided Parent Prepared Returns shall exclude Form 1120 to be filed by or on behalf of the Company for its final tax period before entering the consolidated group of Parent. Parent shall utilize (and cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to utilize) mutually agreed accounting firm to prepare the Tax Returns for any Straddle Period of the Company and its Subsidiaries. To the extent that a Parent Prepared Return relates to a Straddle Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect as of the Closing Date to the extent permitted by applicable law, using the same tax preparers as were used prior to the Closing and, to the extent applicable, the conventions provided in Section 4.15(a)(iv).

The Stockholder Representative and Parent shall (and Parent shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) assist in any audit or other proceeding with respect to the Tax Returns or Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iv) provide any information required to allow the Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with any information reporting contained in the Code or other applicable Laws; and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Returns, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax. All obligations of all Persons under this Section 4.15(c) shall end after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations from all periods or portions thereof that include the Closing Date or any prior date.

(d) Transfer Taxes. The Company Stockholders will pay, and will indemnify and hold Parent harmless against, any documentary, stamp, stock transfer, or similar Tax imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company Stockholders as a result of the Merger and any related penalties or interest (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”).

- 40 -

(iv) If the Stockholder Representative does not control or participate in a Tax Contest (whether by election or otherwise) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (1) Parent shall control, or cause the applicable Company or Subsidiary, to control such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith; (2) Parent shall keep the Stockholder Representative reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; and (3) if requested by the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall settle (or cause the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to settle) the Tax Contest on terms acceptable to the applicable Governmental Authority and the Stockholder Representative (provided, however, that such settlement will not result in any Parent Indemnitee incurring any material Taxes that the Company Stockholders are not required to pay under this Agreement).

(f) Tax Refunds. All refunds of Taxes (including refunds of Transfer Taxes) of Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Tax Refund” and, collectively, “Tax Refunds”) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 4.15(b)) (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable) shall be the property of the Company Stockholders to the extent such Tax Refund was not included as an asset in the computation of the Final Working Capital or arises as a result of a Transaction Deduction. To the extent that Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives a Tax Refund that is the property of the Company Stockholders, Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders the amount of such Tax Refund (and interest received from the Governmental Authority) less all reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with obtaining such Tax Refund incurred by Parent and/or the Company. The amount due to the Company Stockholders shall be payable to the Company Stockholders ten (10) days after receipt of the Tax Refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the Tax Refund is in the form of credit or offset, ten (10) days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset). Parent shall cooperate with Stockholder Representative to claim (and cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable to claim) any refunds that will give rise to a payment to, or on behalf of, the Company Stockholders under this Section 4.15(f).

4.16 No Solicitation of Transactions. Except as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action to (a) solicit, initiate or facilitate any Acquisition Proposal, (b) enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or (c) participate in any way in negotiations with, or furnish any information to, any Person in connection with, or the making of any proposal that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal other than in connection with the Merger.

4.17 Indemnified Receivables Title Transfer. If the Company Stockholders indemnify Parent pursuant to Section 6.2(f) for Indemnified Receivables, then Parent shall promptly transfer to the Stockholder Representative (for the benefit of the Company Stockholders) title to such Indemnified Receivables and the Stockholder Representative may seek to collect such Indemnified Receivables; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative is obligated to exercise reasonable care with regard to the overall continuing business interests of the Company and Parent in attempting to collect such Indemnified Receivables.

- 41 -

4.18 Employees. Parent may, in its sole discretion, continue any Company Benefit Plan or employee policy or program in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (each a “Pre-Merger Plan”), including a 401(k) plan or medical plan, for any period of time after the Closing for the benefit of any employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Employees” and, each individually, a “Company Employee”). To the extent Parent does not continue a Pre-Merger Plan applicable to a Company Employee, such Company Employee shall be eligible, subject to the provisions herein, to participate in any corresponding Employee Benefit Plan maintained by Parent providing benefits to any Company Employee after the Closing Date (the “Post-Merger Plans”) to the extent such Post-Merger Plan replaces similar coverage under such Pre-Merger Plan. Parent will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, give Company Employees full credit under any such Post-Merger Plan for their years of service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the corresponding Pre-Merger Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility and vesting (excluding vesting in equity based awards, eligibility for post-employment welfare benefits and benefit accruals, including without limitation, any benefit accruals under any defined benefit person plan that is a tax qualified plan under Code Section 401(a)). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18, the value of the compensation and benefits provided under the Pre-Merger Plans or the Post-Merger Plans, as applicable in accordance with the foregoing, to Company Employees, taken as a whole, after the Closing Date shall be substantially equivalent to the value of the compensation and benefits provided under the Company Benefit Plans (determined without regard to awards under the Company Incentive Plans) to the Company Employees, taken as a whole, immediately prior to the Closing Date. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Post-Merger Plans to the extent coverage under such Post-Merger Plan replaces coverage under any Pre-Merger Plan; provided, however, to the extent such Company Employee is not covered by a Pre-Merger Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date due to failure to satisfy the applicable waiting period, such Company Employee shall be subject to the waiting time applicable to a Parent employee with respect to the corresponding Post-Merger Plan that replaces such Pre-Merger Plan (giving full service credit for service by such Company Employee with the Company in satisfying such waiting time); provided further, to the extent a Company Employee is covered by a Pre-Merger Plan but does not satisfy the service requirements for the corresponding Post-Merger Plan, the Post-Merger Plan may allow such Company Employee to participate in such Post-Merger Plan or Parent shall continue the Pre-Merger Plan for such Company Employee or otherwise provide comparable substitute coverage; and (ii) for purposes of each Post-Merger Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Merger Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Pre-Merger Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding Post-Merger Plan begins to be taken into account under such Post-Merger Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Post-Merger Plan. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any Benefit Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

From and after the Closing Date, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold each of the Company Stockholders, the Stockholder Representative and their respective successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnitees”) harmless from, against and in respect of any Losses sustained or incurred by such Stockholder Indemnitee to the extent relating to, resulting from, or arising out of, or of any allegation by any third party of:

(a) the failure of any representations or warranties contained in Article 3 in this Agreement to be true and correct on the Closing Date (or with respect to representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date, the failure to be true and correct as of such date); or

(b) any breach, nonfulfillment or noncompliance by Parent of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith.

6.4 Limitations on Indemnification of Parent Indemnitees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of Parent Indemnitees to indemnification under this Agreement are limited as follows:

- 48 -

(a) Basket; Cap. Parent Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to Section 6.2(a), (b) (except for any breach, nonfulfillment or noncompliance of or with the obligations set forth in Sections 4.14), (d) or (g) until the total of all such Losses suffered by Parent Indemnitees exceeds $300,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Parent Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the Basket up to a maximum of the R&W Liability Cap; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations will not apply to claims in respect of breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization; Good Standing; Qualification and Power), 2.2 (Capitalization), 2.4 (Power and Authority) or 2.17 (Taxes) or claims based on Fraud. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, for individual Losses, the aggregate amount of such Loss for which any Company Stockholder shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be the lesser of (i) its Pro Rata Percentage of such Loss or (ii) the portion of the Merger Consideration which such Company Stockholder was actually paid. For avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which any Company Stockholder shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be the portion of the Merger Consideration which such Company Stockholder was actually paid.

(b) Reduction; Subrogation. Parent Indemnitees’ right to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement on account of any Losses shall be reduced by (i) all insurance or other proceeds recovered by Parent Indemnitees from third parties, including pursuant to indemnification obligations of third parties in favor of the Company or its Subsidiaries in each case, net of (x) any related costs and expenses, including the costs and expenses of pursuing any such claims, and (y) any deductibles and any increase in premiums in connection with any such claims (such amount, the “Net Settlement Amount”), and (ii) any accruals or reserves on the Financial Statements or the calculation of Company’s Working Capital with respect to which such Losses relate and (iii) any Taxes included in the definition of Transaction Expense with respect to which such Losses relate. If any Parent Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) receives any Net Settlement Amount after receiving an indemnification payment for the related Loss, Parent shall pay to the Company Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages the amount of such proceeds to the extent such proceeds did not reduce the indemnity payment for the Loss within ten (10) days of the receipt of such proceeds.

(c) No Claims. Parent Indemnitees shall not have any claim for Losses under this Agreement (i) to the extent that any Liability or obligation arises as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent, and after the Closing Date, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (ii) in respect of any Losses caused by or resulting from any action required or permitted by this Agreement (including Section 4.1) and (iii) to the extent such claim for Losses was specifically reflected in the Final WC Statement or was resolved pursuant to the post-Closing Cash Merger Consideration adjustment procedures set forth in Section 1.8, 1.9 or 1.10. Parent Indemnitees shall not be indemnified for the same Loss more than once under this Agreement, even if a claim for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement.

- 49 -

(d) Knowledge of Breach. The right to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6 will not be affected by any investigation conducted by Parent or its representatives with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Parent or its representatives at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty (as may be modified by any Disclosure Schedule), or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, unless such waiver expressly states that it includes a waiver of rights to indemnification under this Article 6. No party shall be required to demonstrate the actual or constructive knowledge of any other party as a condition of indemnification for any claim.

(e) Materiality Scrape. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for the purposes of determining the amount of any Losses, but not liability for indemnification, with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty, any qualifications by the words “Material Adverse Effect” and “material” shall be disregarded.

6.5 Exclusive Remedy; Express Negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 and other than in the case of Fraud, the parties agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties to this Agreement and Parent Indemnitees and the Stockholder Indemnitees, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of Contract, warranty, tortuous conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, equity, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) arising out of or based upon the matters set forth in this Agreement and the Merger, are the indemnification obligations of the parties set forth in this Article 6. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights and claims for Losses it may have against any other party arising under, based upon or relating to this Agreement, any applicable Law, common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 6). The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action under Section 8.13 to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 6 ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PARTY (INCLUDING THE PARTY FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR PROVES THE CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PARTY SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR THE CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED UPON THE PARTY SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY SUCH PARTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO PARTY SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY FOR THE VALUE ASSIGNED TO SUCH OTHER PARTY’S CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE.

- 50 -

6.6 Procedures. The following procedures shall apply to all claims for indemnification and reimbursement pursuant to this Article 6, other than those relating to Tax matters, which are governed by Section 4.14:

(a) Notice of Losses by Parent Indemnitee.

(i) Indemnity Claims. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, if any Parent Indemnitee believes in good faith that it has a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnity Claim”), Parent shall, promptly after it becomes aware of such Indemnity Claim but in any event prior to the Indemnification Termination Date, notify the Stockholder Representative of such Indemnity Claim by means of a written notice specifying the nature, circumstances and amount of such Indemnity Claim accompanied by an affidavit of an officer of Parent setting forth with reasonable particularity the underlying facts actually known or in good faith believed by the affiant to exist sufficient to establish, as of the date of such affidavit, the basis for the Indemnity Claim and setting forth the Parent’s good faith calculation of the Losses incurred by the applicable Parent Indemnitee with respect thereto, and including copies of all written documentation in the possession of Parent Indemnitees relating to the circumstances or events giving rise to such Indemnity Claim (an “Indemnity Claim Notice”). The failure by Parent to promptly deliver an Indemnity Claim Notice under this Section 6.6(a)(i) will not adversely affect the applicable Parent Indemnitee’s right to recovery except to the extent that the Stockholder Representative or any Company Stockholder is materially prejudiced thereby.

(ii) No Disputes. If Parent delivers an Indemnity Claim Notice in accordance with the terms in Section 6.6(a)(i) and the Stockholder Representative does not object to the terms of the Indemnity Claim as set forth in the applicable Indemnity Claim Notice, (A) the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall mutually agree to an offset against the Note in the amount set forth in such Indemnity Claim Notice and (B) after the Note has been exhausted or paid in full, each Company Stockholder shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Percentage of such amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days.

(iii) Disputes. If Parent delivers an Indemnity Claim Notice in accordance with the terms in Section 6.6(a)(i) and the Stockholder Representative objects to the terms of the Indemnity Claim as set forth in the applicable Indemnity Claim Notice, the Stockholder Representative may dispute the related Indemnity Claim by delivery of a notice to Parent in writing, within thirty (30) days following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of such Indemnity Claim Notice, that the Stockholder Representative objects to the Indemnity Claim (or the amount of Losses set forth therein) asserted in such Indemnity Claim Notice (a “Dispute Notice”). Following receipt by Parent of the Dispute Notice, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall promptly use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute as to whether and to what extent Parent Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification on account of such Indemnity Claim. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after Parent receives such Dispute Notice, then the dispute must first be submitted to non-binding mediation to be held in Houston, Texas. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are still unable to reach agreement within forty-five (45) days after the first (1^st) meeting with the mediator, then the dispute may only be submitted to, and settled by, an individual arbitrator mutually selected by the Stockholder Representative and Parent (if the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to agree upon the arbitrator, they shall each select an arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as the arbitrator). The arbitration shall be held in Houston, Texas pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with the then-prevailing International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable, the award rendered by the arbitrator in respect of a dispute pursuant to this Section 6.6(a)(iii) shall be final and binding (absent intentional Fraud or manifest error), and any arbitration award may be enforced by judgment entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the mediator and the arbitrator shall be allocated between the Company Stockholders, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the mediator or arbitrator, as the case may be, that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. For all purposes of this Article 6, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall reasonably cooperate with the other party and its representatives (including to the extent appropriate and permitted by applicable Law, providing information, records and data), and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution of such disputes.

- 51 -

(b) Notice of Losses Provided by Stockholder Indemnitee. As soon as is reasonably practicable after a Stockholder Indemnitee obtains knowledge of any matter which has or may result in Losses, such Stockholder Indemnitee shall give written notice of such matter (a “Claims Notice”) to Parent describing the matter in reasonable detail, and indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the applicable Stockholder Indemnitee. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by such Stockholder Indemnitee to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that such Stockholder Indemnitee has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve Parent or the Company of their obligation to indemnify the applicable Stockholder Indemnitee except to the extent that they are materially prejudiced thereby.

(c) Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. In the event of any claim by a third party against any Parent Indemnitee or Stockholder Indemnitee for which indemnification is or may be available under this Article 6 (whether pursuant to a lawsuit, other legal action or otherwise, a “Third Party Claim”), the party against whom indemnification may be sought hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be entitled and, if it so elects, shall at its own cost and expense, (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim and (ii) pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice reasonably acceptable to the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) to handle and defend such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but not obligated), if it so elects, to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.6(c), the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.6(c) within fourteen (14) days after delivery of the Claim Notice in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any resulting settlement of such Third Party Claim and for any final judgment with respect thereto (subject to any right of appeal), if any, but only to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Sections 6.4 and 6.5 hereof). In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and in the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

(d) To the extent this Section 6.6 is inconsistent with Section 4.15(e) with respect to any Tax matter, the provisions of Section 4.15(e) shall control.

6.7 Mitigation. Each party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. Each of the parties shall cooperate with the others with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by using reasonable best efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability; provided, however, that such party shall not be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party. In the event that any party shall fail to use reasonable best efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then (unless the proviso to the foregoing sentence shall be applicable) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the other party shall not be required to indemnify or reimburse any Person for any Losses that could have been avoided if such party had made such efforts.

or to such other Person or address as any party shall specify by notice in writing to the other party. All such notices, requests, demands, waivers and communications shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date on which so hand-delivered, (ii) on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date on which so mailed and (iii) on the date on which the facsimile or e-mail is confirmed, except for a notice of change of address, which shall be effective only upon receipt thereof.

8.3 Exhibits and Schedules. Any matter, information or item disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or in any Exhibit attached hereto, under any specific representation or warranty or section number hereof, shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement to which the matter relates, so long as the description of such matter in the Disclosure Schedule reasonably indicates its relevance to the pertinent section. The mere inclusion of any matter, information or item in any Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability by the Company or any other Person to any third party or otherwise imply that any such matter, information or item is material or creates a measure for materiality for the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no such inclusion of a possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

8.4 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. Except as provided in Section 4.12, this Agreement, including any Exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule, may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement signed by Parent and, if before the Closing, the Company, and if after the Closing, the Stockholder Representative. Any failure of the Company to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by Parent, and any failure of Parent to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived by the Stockholder Representative, at any time by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such other party, but such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply. Further, neither the waiver by any of the parties of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

- 56 -

8.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits, and other documents referred to herein (including the Confidentiality Agreement), and which form a part hereof, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, with respect to its subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement).

8.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement for any reason is declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect and the application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Upon such declaration that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Merger be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

8.7 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns, but except as contemplated herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may execute and deliver any such written consent on behalf of the Company Stockholders. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8.7 shall be void.

8.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) the Stockholder Representative, (ii) current and former, stockholders, members, managers, officers, directors and employees of the Company pursuant to Section 4.13 and (iii) as provided in Article 6 with respect to Parent Indemnitees and the Stockholder Indemnitees, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person (including any employee or former employee of the Company) or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.9 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Article 1 and Sections 4.14 and 6.6(a)(iii), whether or not the Merger is consummated pursuant hereto, each party hereto shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement, and the consummation of the Merger. Company Stockholders shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by the Company prior to the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (delivery of which may be by facsimile or via email as a portable document format (.pdf)), each of which will be deemed an original, and it will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one (1) of such counterparts.

8.11 Interpretation. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any cost estimates, Projections or other forward-looking statements contained or referred to in this Agreement or in the Disclosure Schedule or Exhibits hereto or in any materials that have been provided to Parent by or on behalf of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates are not and shall not be deemed to be representations or warranties of the Company. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Disclosure Schedule and any other Schedules and Exhibits hereto, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. The words “party” or “parties” shall refer to parties to this Agreement. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The words “dollar” or “$” shall mean U.S. dollars. The word “threatened” or any variation thereof means “threatened in writing”. The word “day” means calendar day unless Business Day is expressly specified. The term “written” in respect of Contracts shall be interpreted to mean handwritten, typed or printed Contracts (as opposed to oral) that have been executed by two counterparties pursuant to a handwritten signature, and shall not be deemed executed by virtue of an oral, electronic or email acknowledgement or signature. Any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include such other genders and any reference to the singular or plural shall include the other, in each case unless the context otherwise requires. If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first (1^st) succeeding Business Day thereafter. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and neither for nor against any party hereto irrespective of which party caused such provisions to be drafted. Each of the parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement.

8.12 Legal Representation. Parent hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, managers, stockholders, members, partners, officers and employees, and each of their successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that Porter Hedges and Goodwin Procter LLP (or any successor thereof) (the “Law Firm”) may represent the Stockholder Representative, the Company Stockholders and each of their respective Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby and the consummation of the Merger and thereby (such representation, the “Current Representation”), and the Law Firm may represent the Seller Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Seller Group, in each case in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including under Sections 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 and Article 6, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger or thereby (any such representation, the “Post-Closing Representation”) notwithstanding such representation (or any continued representation) of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and Parent on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest or any objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Parent acknowledges that the foregoing provision applies whether or not the Law Firm provides legal services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. Parent, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Seller Group and their counsel, including the Law Firm, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications between the Seller Group and such counsel and neither Parent, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Parent or any of the Waiving Parties, will seek to obtain the same by any process. From and after the Closing, Parent shall and shall cause the Company to, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, waive and not assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between the Law Firm and any Person in the Seller Group occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation.

8.13 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with the specific terms thereof or otherwise breach such provisions, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy, even if available. The parties accordingly agree (on behalf of themselves and the third party beneficiaries of this Agreement provided in Section 8.8) that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7, the Company, the Company Stockholders (and the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company and the Company Stockholders) and Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

8.14 Forum; Service of Process. Each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Houston, Texas, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each of the parties agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.2; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.14 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

- 59 -

FORM OF JOINDER AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

THIS JOINDER AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and among Comfort Systems USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), TAS Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Element Partners II, L.P. (“Element”), solely in its capacity as the representative of the Company Stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Stockholder Representative”), and the undersigned holder (the “Holder”) of Company Capital Stock, as set forth on the signature page hereto. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 9, 2020, by and among Parent, OSC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), the Company, and the Stockholder Representative, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that each of the Company Support Stockholders, and Company Stockholders holding at least ninety percent 90% of the Fully-Diluted Shares (inclusive of the Company Support Stockholders) execute and deliver this Agreement as a condition to the Closing;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Holder will, as a result of the Merger, be entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration as a holder of Company Capital Stock; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, the Holder is willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to each of Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

B-7

(a) Organization and Standing. If the Holder is an entity, the Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

(b) Authority.

(i) If an entity, the Holder has all requisite power and authority or, if an individual, the Holder has the capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Holder and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Holder, and no further action is required on the part of the Holder to authorize this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other party hereto, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Legal Requirements now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(ii) The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time or both), or give rise to any payment obligation or a right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, (A) if applicable, any provision of the organizational documents of the Holder, each as amended to date and currently in effect; or (B) any Contract to which the Holder is a party or by which any of the Holder's properties or assets may be bound; or (C) any Legal Requirement applicable to the Holder or any of the Holder's properties or assets (whether tangible or intangible). There is no Contract to which the Holder is a party or by which any of Holder’s properties or assets may be bound which would prevent the carrying out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement or the agreements contemplated hereby or thereby, including the compliance by Holder with the provisions of the Merger Agreement applicable to Indemnifying Parties in their capacity as such.

(c) Ownership of Company Capital Stock. The Holder is the sole record and beneficial owner of, and has the sole right to vote (as applicable) and to dispose of, the Company Capital Stock set forth on the signature page hereto (subject to, in the case of individuals, applicable community property laws, if any), and such Company Capital Stock (and any shares of Company Capital Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Company Capital Stock) are, other than as provided in the Terminated Contracts (as defined below), and as of the Closing will be, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, mortgage, charge, claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, voting trust or agreement, understanding, arrangement, right of first refusal, limitation on disposition, adverse claim of ownership or use or encumbrance of any kind. Neither such Company Capital Stock (and any shares of Company Capital Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Company Capital Stock) nor any respective interest therein has been sold, assigned, endorsed, transferred, pledged, pawned, hypothecated, deposited under any agreement or disposed of in any manner by the Holder. The Company Capital Stock set forth on the signature page hereto constitute the Holder’s entire interest in Company Capital Stock, and Holder does not own or hold, beneficially or of record, any other Company Capital Stock.

B-2

(d) Brokers and Finders. No Person has acted on behalf of the Holder or any of Holder’s “affiliates” or “associates” (as those terms are defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in such manner (other than Lazard Middle Market LLC on behalf of, and pursuant to the terms of its engagement letter with, the Company) as to give rise to any valid claim against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective affiliates for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions, fees related to investment banking or similar advisory services or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, nor will Parent, the Company or their respective affiliates incur, directly or indirectly, any such liability based on arrangements made by or on behalf of the Holder.

(e) Reliance; Opportunity to Discuss; Access to Information. The Holder acknowledges and understands that the representations, warranties and covenants by the Holder set forth herein and any covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement applicable to the Holder in his, her or its capacity as an Indemnifying Party are a material inducement for Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and shall be relied upon by Parent, the Company, and their respective affiliates and counsel, and that substantial losses and damages may be incurred by such Persons if the Holder’s representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein and any covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement applicable to the Holder in his, her or its capacity as an Indemnifying Party are inaccurate or are breached. The Holder has carefully read this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, understands the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and has discussed the requirements of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement with the Holder’s legal, tax, investment, financial, and/or other professional advisors to the extent the Holder has deemed necessary. The Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of and obtain any additional information reasonably available to Parent, the Company and Merger Sub with respect to this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the Holder has received all such information as the Holder deems necessary and appropriate to enable the Holder to evaluate the risks and merits of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger, and Holder’s indemnification obligations under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

2. Joinder as Party to the Merger Agreement.

(a) The Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it is a Company Stockholder for purposes of the Merger Agreement, a Payee for purposes of the Note and a Seller for purposes of the Earn-Out Agreement and, accordingly, agrees to be bound by, solely in the Holder’s capacity as an Company Stockholder, Payee or Seller, as appropriate, and as fully as though the Holder were a signatory thereto, the terms of the Merger Agreement, Note and Earn-Out Agreement expressly applicable to Company Stockholder, Payee or Seller, as appropriate. In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, the Holder further acknowledges and agrees that, as a Company Stockholder, the Holder will be severally and not jointly liable with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Company Stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of, and subject to the limitations of, Article 6 of the Merger Agreement; provided that, in the case of Fraud committed by such Holder, there shall be no limit to the amount that may be recovered from the Holder for losses arising from such Fraud.

B-3

(b) The Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) at the Closing, Parent shall issue the Note to the Stockholder Representative and deliver the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount to the Stockholder Representative, each pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Note and the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount, if any, and in each case only as and when such amount is payable to the Holder in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement or the Note; and (iii) the Holder’s right to receive any portion of the Note and/or the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount are contingent rights that are subject to Sections 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 of the Merger Agreement, as well as the indemnification and other related provisions of the Merger Agreement.

3. Stockholder Representative. The Holder hereby agrees to (i) the appointment of Element as the Stockholder Representative and authorizes Element to act or refrain from acting and to exercise the power, authority and discretion as the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, Note and Earn-Out Agreement, and (ii) to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Note and the Earn Out Agreement, including without limitation the provisions regarding the Stockholder Representative in Section 8.17 thereof.

4. Termination of Certain Agreements. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that to the extent the Holder is a party to any Contract listed on Annex A (each a “Terminated Contract” and collectively the “Terminated Contracts”), the Holder consents and agrees that each Terminated Contract shall be deemed amended by the Company and the “Requisite Holders” or the “Preferred Investor Approval”, as applicable, and as such terms are defined in the respective Terminated Contracts, to permit the termination of the Terminated Contracts with the prior written notice of the “Requisite Holders” or the “Preferred Investor Approval”, as applicable, in connection with the consummation of a change of control of the Company (which Holder acknowledges includes the Merger). The Holder consents and agrees (i) to the termination of each such Terminated Contract contingent upon the consummation of the Merger and effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and agrees that any rights and obligations the Holder may have under each such Terminated Contract shall terminate immediately prior to, but conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time, and (ii) that the terms of this Agreement shall, in the event of any conflict with the terms of any Terminated Contract, supersede such conflicting terms and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holder hereby agrees that the Terminated Contracts are hereby amended to give effect to the foregoing). The Holder hereby waives, and agrees that it will take no action with regard to pursuing, any rights (including any notice rights) or claims pursuant to or arising under any such Terminated Contract. Furthermore, the Holder and the Company each hereby acknowledges and agrees that to the extent any Terminated Contract may, by its terms, only be amended or terminated pursuant to an agreement or other instrument, written or otherwise, between the Company and one or more other parties thereto, this Agreement, together with the other Joinder Agreements entered into by other holders of the Company’s equity securities in connection with the Merger Agreement who are also parties to such Terminated Contract, shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument for purposes of satisfying the termination or amendment requirements set forth in any such Terminated Contract, and the Company hereby consents to each such termination.

B-4

5. Confidentiality. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Holder agrees to at all times keep confidential and not disclose (other than to his, her or its spouse, officers, directors, limited partners, shareholders, employees, attorneys and other advisors with a bona fide need to know; provided, that such Persons have agreed to confidentiality restrictions substantially consistent with those contained herein) (a) the existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (b) matters regarding the interpretation, performance, breach or termination hereof or thereof, and (c) all confidential or proprietary information of the Company, including, without limitation, Intellectual Property used or owned by the Company, obtained by the Holder or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives prior to the Closing, except to the extent that (i) such information has otherwise been made public through no fault or action of the Holder; (ii) any such information that is reasonably necessary for enforcing the Holder’s rights hereunder or thereunder is disclosed to any Governmental Authority in connection with any legal proceedings involving a dispute between the Holder and Parent; (iii) if the Holder is an investment fund or vehicle, the Holder may disclose such information to its affiliates and its affected partners, members, managers, officers, investors and prospective investors; or (iv) the Holder is required by applicable Law to divulge or disclose any such information, in which case the Holder shall promptly notify Parent in writing in advance of disclosing such information and use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent to limit such disclosure to the extent so required by applicable Legal Requirements. In furtherance of, but subject to, the foregoing, Parent acknowledges that each institutional investor will report the economic terms of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to its current and prospective limited partners.

6. General Release. Effective for all purposes as of the Effective Time, the Holder acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and each of the Holder’s current or former affiliates, officers, directors, employees, managers, partners, principals, advisors, agents, stockholders, members, investors, equity holders or other representatives (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors), family members, heirs, beneficiaries, estates, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns, in each case solely in their capacity as such (each, a “Releasor”) that:

(e) “Maturity Date” means [_____ __], 2022.

(f) “Parent Indemnitees” shall have the meaning set forth in the Acquisition Agreement.

(g) “Payee” means individually each Person set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and “Payees” means collectively, all Persons set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and any successors or assigns of any Payee’s rights, powers, remedies, liens, benefits and privileges accruing and to accrue hereunder to Payees.

(h) “Pro Rata Percentage” means, with respect to each Payee, the percentage set forth opposite the name of such Payee on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

C-1

2. Payments of Principal and Interest.

(a) From the date hereof until the date when the principal under this note has been paid in full, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this note at the rate of three and one half percent (3.50%) per annum, and shall be paid quarterly in arrears in cash. Such interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Interest on the unpaid balance shall accrue from the date hereof and quarterly payments shall be due and payable in cash, in arrears, on the fifth (5th) calendar day following the end of each calendar quarter until all outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and any other costs and fees are paid in full as provided for herein. The first payment of interest shall be due on July 6, 2020. All accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of this note shall be due and payable at the Maturity Date. In the event that any amount under this note is not paid when due, then interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at a rate of ten percent (10.00%) per annum (the “Default Rate”) until such unpaid amount is paid in cash.

(b) The entire unpaid principal balance of this note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this note, less any offset pursuant to Section 5, less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of such payment, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to the Maturity Date (i) the Company effects a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party, (ii) Maker effects a sale of the Company to a third party, (iii) Maker effects a merger or consolidation of the Company or other transaction involving the Company, in each case which results in at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company being owned by a third party or (iv) Maker or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Maker or the Company seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of its debts under any applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, within thirty (30) days after such event, Maker shall pay to the Payees in accordance with each Payee’s Pro Rata Percentage in full the remaining payments of principal and interest the Payees would have been entitled to through the Maturity Date within five (5) days of such event, less any offset pursuant to Section 5, less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of such payment.

(d) All payments of principal and interest due under this note shall be paid to Payees in accordance with each Payee’s Pro Rata Percentage by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated on the Payment Spreadsheet.

3. No Usury Intended; Spreading. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this note, it is expressly provided that in no case or event shall the aggregate of (i) all interest on the unpaid balance of this note, accrued or paid from the date hereof and (ii) the aggregate of any other amounts accrued or paid pursuant to this note, which under applicable laws are or may be deemed to constitute interest upon the indebtedness evidenced by this note from the date hereof, ever exceed the highest lawful amount permissible under the then-applicable usury laws. In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this note shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate. Maker or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this note shall never be liable for interest in excess of such maximum legal amount. If, for any reason whatever, the interest paid or received on this note during its full term produces a rate which exceeds the maximum legal amount, the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Payees, shall credit against the principal of this note (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Payees shall refund to the Maker) such portion of said interest as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid on this note to produce a rate equal to the maximum legal rate. All sums contracted for, charged or received by the Payees for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, to the extent required to avoid or minimize usury and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of this note so that the interest rate does not exceed the maximum legal rate. The provisions of this Paragraph shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between Maker and the Payees.

C-2

4. Default and Remedies in Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under this note, whereupon the Stockholder Representative, may, at its option, by notice in writing to Maker, declare the principal of this note and accrued interest to the date of such declaration to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration by the Stockholder Representative, such amounts shall become immediately due and payable, and may otherwise exercise any or all rights, powers and remedies afforded by law:

(a) any part of the Debt, including any interest thereon, is not paid when due, whether by lapse of time or acceleration or otherwise, unless such default is fully cured within fifteen (15) calendar days after such due date, or

(b) any proceeding is instituted by or against the Maker under any present or future bankruptcy or insolvency statutory or similar law and, if involuntary, the same are not stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days, or the Maker makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver, trustee, conservator or other judicial representative is appointed for the Maker.

All powers and remedies afforded to the Stockholder Representative by this Section 4, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of other remedies available to the Stockholder Representative, whether hereunder or by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the observance or performance of the covenants and agreements contained in this note. No delay or omission by the Stockholder Representative to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default hereunder shall impair such right or power or shall be construed as a waiver or acquiescence therein. Every power and remedy given to the Stockholder Representative by this Section 4 or by law may be exercised by the Stockholder Representative from time to time and as often as the Stockholder Representative shall deem expedient.

5. Offset Rights. The parties hereto agree that if Payees shall become liable to (i) the Parent Indemnitees for indemnification under the Acquisition Agreement (as finally determined by a written settlement or a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) Maker for any payment under Section 1.8, Section 1.9 and Section 1.10 of the Acquisition Agreement (as finally determined by a written settlement or a court of competent jurisdiction), Maker has the right, in addition to its other rights under the Acquisition Agreement, at law or in equity, to offset any amounts owed to Maker under this note until such liability is satisfied in full.

C-3

6. Subordination.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of Maker in respect of the payments due under this note and any other amounts due under this note (the “Subordinated Debt”) shall be and are fully subordinate and junior in right and time of payment to any and all Senior Debt (as hereinafter defined). No payments or prepayments under this note (a “Payment”), shall be made except in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6. If any Payment is made to the Payees in violation of this provision, then each Payee shall hold the portion of such Payment paid to it in trust for Senior Lender (as hereinafter defined) and shall, after written notice to the Payees, immediately deliver such Payment paid to it in the form received to such Senior Lender. If there is more than one Senior Lender at the time such payments from Payees are due to Senior Lender hereunder, the Payees shall severally make such Payments based on a written certification of priority delivered to the Payees among the entities constituting Senior Lender provided by Maker. If the Payees are required pursuant to the foregoing provisions to deliver any such Payment to Senior Lender, then to the extent Maker received credit for such Payment against amounts due under this note, such credit shall be immediately reversed upon the delivery of such Payment to Senior Lender and such amounts shall once again be due and payable hereunder and evidenced hereby. Seller Representative and the Payees hereby acknowledge and agree that the subordination of this note specifically includes, but is not limited to the Wells Fargo Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined).

(b) The Payees shall be entitled to be paid the amounts due under this note in conformity with the specific payment terms of this note set forth in Section 2, as long as no event of default exists under the agreements executed in connection with the Senior Debt and the making of such Payment would not cause, directly or indirectly, a default or event of default to occur under the terms of the agreements executed in connection with the Senior Debt.

(c) If there should occur any receivership, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement with creditors (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other insolvency laws); a default under the terms of the documents executed in connection with any Senior Debt; sale of all or substantially all of the assets, dissolution, liquidation or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Maker, or if this note shall be declared due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default under this note, then (i) no amount shall be paid by Maker in respect of the Debt, unless and until the principal of and interest on the Senior Debt then outstanding shall be indefeasibly paid in full, and (ii) no claim or proof of claim shall be filed by the Stockholder Representative or the Payees that shall assert any right to receive any payments in respect of the principal of and interest on this note, unless and until the principal of and interest on the Senior Debt then outstanding shall be indefeasibly paid in full; provided that the Stockholder Representative or the Payees may file a proof of claim in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Maker, as long as such filing indicates Payees’ subordination hereunder and directs the payment of any amounts payable under such claim to Senior Lender until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full.

C-4

(d) Subject to the rights of Senior Lender under this Section 6 to receive cash, securities or other properties otherwise payable or deliverable to the Payees, nothing contained in this Section 6 shall impair, as between Maker and the Stockholder Representative or the Payees, the obligation of Maker, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to pay to the Payees the principal hereof and interest thereon as and when the same became due and payable, or shall prevent the Stockholder Representative upon an event of default hereunder, from exercising all right, powers and remedies otherwise provided herein or by applicable law.

(e) By its acceptance of this note, the Stockholder Representative agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Maker or Senior Lender in order to implement or clarify the provisions of this Section 6. In addition, the Stockholder Representative and Maker further agree that Senior Lender is a third party beneficiary to the provisions of Section 6 of this note and may enforce the terms thereof against the Stockholder Representative, the Payees, or Maker.

(f) For purposes of this note, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows:

i. “Senior Debt” means the aggregate amount of any and all (A) indebtedness of Maker and its subsidiaries to any third-party financial institution (specifically including all indebtedness and obligations arising under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility), whether or not represented by bonds, debentures, notes or other securities, for the repayment of borrowed money, (B) all indebtedness of Maker and its subsidiaries secured by any lien on any property of such person, whether or not indebtedness secured thereby has been assumed, (C) all obligations of Maker and its subsidiaries with respect to interest rate swap agreements, (D) all other sums now or hereafter payable by Maker and its subsidiaries under the documents reflecting the foregoing indebtedness, including all principal, interest, fees (including attorneys’ fees), charges, costs, expenses and other amounts, and (E) and any and all extensions, replacements, renewals or refinancings of the same; whether existing as of the date hereof or hereafter incurred by Maker and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, entered into from time to time in the future and the increasing of the amount of such facilities and obligations or extending the maturity date thereof).

ii. “Senior Lender” means collectively, the holders of any Senior Debt from time to time, including their successors and assigns, and specifically including, without limitation, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the other lenders under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, and their respective successors and assigns.

iii. “Wells Fargo Credit Facility” means the revolving lines of credit, letters of credit and other credit facilities that may be provided to the Maker from time to time pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 16, 2010 between the Maker, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, as such has been amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

In addition, for purposes of calculating the Earn-Out, EBITDA for any applicable period shall be: (i) reduced by any amounts accrued for payment to Stockholder Representative by Purchaser for the WIP Adjustment for the applicable period of computation, or (ii) increased by any amounts accrued for payment to Purchaser by Stockholder Representative for the WIP Adjustment for the applicable period of computation. It is the express intention of the Parties that EBITDA shall be calculated in a manner to fairly reflect the true economic return of the Company as an incremental and separate part of Purchaser and calculated in a manner consistent with the Company’s historical practices as set forth on Exhibit A. The Parties shall use the same financial information and accruals for calculation of the Earn-Out hereunder as they use for calculation of the WIP Adjustment under the Merger Agreement.

(c) Purchaser’s obligation to pay any Earn-Out payment in accordance with this Agreement is an independent obligation and is not otherwise conditioned or contingent upon the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to any preceding or subsequent Earn-Out. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the condition precedent to the payment of the Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2021 is not satisfied, but the condition precedent to the payment of the Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2022 is satisfied, then Purchaser would be obligated to pay such Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2022, and not the Earn-Out for the period ended June 30, 2021.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the combined total of all Earn-Out payments made pursuant to this Section 1, shall not exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars and No Cents ($25,000,000.00).

(e) Purchaser acknowledges that the possibility of the Company receiving the Earn-Out payments comprises a material inducement for the Company and the Sellers to enter into the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. During the period of time from the Closing Date through June 30, 2022: (i) the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be operated as a separate business unit of the Purchaser, (ii) the Purchaser, and after the Closing, the Company and the Sellers who are Continuing Employees, shall not take, or fail to take, any action for the primary purpose or with the primary intent of augmenting, avoiding or reducing the Earn-Out payments, and (iii) the Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, make any material change in the accounting principles in place at the Company at the Closing Date that negatively effects the calculation of EBITDA other than any change required to be implemented by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

D-3

(f) In the event that prior to June 30, 2022 (i) the Company effects a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party, (ii) the Purchaser effects a sale of the Company to a third party, (iii) the Purchaser effects a merger or consolidation of the Company or other transaction involving the Company, in each case which results in at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company being owned by a third party or (iv) the Purchaser or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Purchaser or the Company seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of its debts under any applicable Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, within thirty (30) days after such event, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers in full the remaining Earn-Out payments the Sellers would have been entitled to through June 30, 2022 within ten (10) days of such event.

SECTION 2 Payment of Earn-Out. Within ten (10) days after the Earn-Out for a period is finally determined pursuant to Section 3 herein, Purchaser will pay the Earn-Out for such period, if any, less the aggregate amount of any additional Change in Control Payments triggered as a result of the payment of such Earn-Out, to the Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated on the Payment Spreadsheet. If any Earn-Out is not paid by Purchaser to the Sellers when due hereunder, such amount shall accrue interest from and including the date such payment was due through the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 5%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding. Subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in Article VI of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right to set-off any indemnifiable Losses for which Sellers are responsible against any Earn-Out otherwise due and payable hereunder.

SECTION 3 Procedures to Determine Earn-Out.

(a) On or before sixty (60) days following the end of each period described in Section 1(a), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a proposed written calculation of the Earn-Out earned, if any, as certified in writing by the Purchaser and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. Purchaser shall provide, and cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide, the Stockholder Representative and his representatives with access to the personnel, financial information, books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries, and shall otherwise cooperate with and reasonably assist the Stockholder Representative in taking such acts as may be necessary to allow Stockholder Representative to prepare all deliverables required or contemplated by this Agreement, the Note and the Merger Agreement and make all necessary calculations in accordance with this Agreement, the Note and the Merger Agreement .

D-4

(b) If Stockholder Representative disputes the Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn-Out, Stockholder Representative shall so notify Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of Purchaser’s written calculation referred to in Section 2, and submit to the Purchaser the Stockholder Representative’s proposed calculation of the Earn-Out in writing certified by the Stockholder Representative and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. If Stockholder Representative does not dispute the Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn-Out and provide Purchaser with Stockholder Representative’s calculation within such 30-day period, the Purchaser’s calculation of the Earn-Out shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Stockholder Representative disputes Purchaser’s calculation and provides Purchaser with Stockholder Representative’s calculation within such 30-day period, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser shall then make a good faith effort to meet and resolve the difference between Stockholder Representative’s calculation and the Purchaser’s calculation. If within thirty (30) days after receipt of Stockholder Representative’s calculation, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser have been unable to reach agreement, Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser within fifteen (15) days thereafter shall jointly select an independent certified public accounting firm, or if they are unable to do so, within twenty (20) days thereafter either Stockholder Representative or the Purchaser shall request the American Arbitration Association to designate a firm of independent certified public accountants having no past or current affiliation with Stockholder Representative, Stockholder Representative’s Affiliates, the Sellers, or the Sellers’ Affiliates (such selected accounting firm being referred to herein as the “Arbitrator”), to determine whether Stockholder Representative’s or the Purchaser’s calculation is most accurate. The Arbitrator shall certify this decision in writing to the Parties, and shall have no choice but to select either the Stockholder Representative’s calculation in its entirety or the Purchaser’s calculation in its entirety (there shall be no award of pre-judgment interest). The Arbitrator’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Arbitrator, including any attorneys’ or experts’ fees related thereto, shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party.

SECTION 4 Modification and Waiver of Breach. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless it is in writing signed by the Purchaser and Stockholder Representative. No waiver of a breach hereof shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of a future breach, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature.

SECTION 5 Assignment. The rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may, without the consent of the Stockholder Representative, be assigned by Purchaser, in its sole and unfettered discretion, (a) to any subsidiary or Affiliate of Purchaser, provided that in the event of any such assignment Purchaser must guarantee all obligations hereunder, (b) to any transferee, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, that directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of Purchaser, provided that in the event of any such assignment Purchaser must guarantee all obligations hereunder, or (c) as collateral to any lender or provider of financing to the Purchaser or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Purchaser. Except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, no Party may directly or indirectly assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

The masculine and neuter genders used in this Agreement each includes the masculine, feminine and neuter genders, and the singular number includes the plural, each where appropriate, and vice versa. Wherever the term “including” or a similar term is used in this Agreement, it shall be read as if it were written “including by way of example only and without in any way limiting the generality of the clause or concept referred to.” The descriptive headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 9 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Facsimile or scanned and emailed (i.e., Portable Document Format (pdf)) transmission of any signed original document or retransmission of any signed facsimile or scanned and emailed (pdf) transmission shall constitute enforceable original documents and will be deemed the same as delivery of an original.

In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or void, it shall, to the extent possible, be modified and/or interpreted in such manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable, but so as to most nearly retain the intent of the Parties, and if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement, and in either case, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

EXHIBIT E
SAMPLE WIP ADJUSTMENT CALCULATION

The WIP Adjustment shall be calculated on a contract-by-contract basis using the following formula:

WIP Adjustment

Final Revenue Earned

(

Cost to Date @ Closing Date
Final Total Costs

)

Revenue Earned @ Closing Date

Any loss that would have been accrued as of Closing Date in accordance with GAAP

For example, if at the Closing the Company has earned $800,000 of revenue and accrued $600,000 of expenses with respect to a particular project and upon commencement of the project’s warranty period, total revenue is $1,000,000 and total costs are $650,000, the WIP Adjustment with respect to that project would be positive $123,077, reflecting the additional margin that would have been reflected as of the Closing. Also, for example, if at the Closing, the Company has recognized $800,000 of revenue and incurred $600,000 of expenses with respect to a particular project, and upon commencement of the project’s warranty period, total revenue earned is $1,000,000 and total expenses are $1,100,000, the WIP Adjustment with respect to that project would be negative $300,000, composed of $200,000 in margin that had been incorrectly recognized as of the Closing plus $54,546 representing the amount of the loss that had been spent before the Closing, plus $45,454 representing the amount of expected loss that would have been accrued pursuant to GAAP as of the Closing for the project.

1. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificate(s). This Letter of Transmittal filled in and signed, must be used in connection with the delivery and surrender of the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s). A Letter of Transmittal and the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s) must be received by Parent, in satisfactory form, in order to make an effective surrender. Delivery of the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s) and other documents shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title to the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s) to Parent. The method of delivery of the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s) and other documents is at the election and risk of the stockholder. If such delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Surrender may be made by mail, by hand or by overnight courier to Parent at the address shown above. Upon surrender of the Certificate(s) and Warrant(s), any Shares issued subsequent to such surrender and prior to the closing of the Merger shall be deemed to be surrendered for payment.

2. Terms of Conversion of the Shares. Each Share and Warrant (as shown in the box on the first page of this Letter of Transmittal) was converted at the Effective Time of the Merger into the right to receive cash merger consideration, without interest, and subject to applicable withholding, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

3. Guarantee of Signature. The Certificate(s) need not be endorsed and stock powers and signature guarantees are unnecessary unless (a) the Certificate(s) is(are) registered in a name other than that of the person surrendering the Certificate(s) or (b) such registered holder completes the Special Payment/Delivery Instructions on the first page of this Letter of Transmittal or requests payment to a name other than the registered holder. In the case of (a) above, any such Certificate(s) must be duly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed stock power with the signature on the endorsement or stock power and on the Letter of Transmittal guaranteed by a participant in the Security Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Guarantee Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (each, an “Eligible Institution”). In the case of (b) above, only the signature on the Letter of Transmittal should be similarly guaranteed.

4. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares and Warrants surrendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If any of the Shares and Warrants surrendered hereby are registered in different names on several Certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Certificates.

If any of the Shares and Warrants surrendered hereby are held of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If this Letter of Transmittal or any Certificate or stock power or Warrant is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to Parent of the authority of such person so to act must be submitted.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares and Warrants listed and surrendered hereby, no endorsements of Certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be issued in the name of a person other than the registered holder(s). Signatures on any such Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Shares and Warrants evidenced by Certificates listed and surrendered hereby, the Certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the Certificates. Signature(s) on any such Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

5. Stock Transfer Taxes. The registered holder(s) will bear liability for any stock transfer taxes applicable to the delivery of checks in payment for surrendered Shares and Warrants; provided, however, that if any such check is to be issued to any person(s) other than the registered holder(s) of the surrendered Shares and Warrants, it shall be a condition of the issuance and delivery of such check that the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s) or such person(s)) payable on account of the transfer (or transfers) of the surrendered Shares and Warrants shall be delivered to Parent or satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or nonapplicability thereof shall be submitted to Parent before such check will be issued.

6. Validity of Surrender, Irregularities. All questions as to validity, form and eligibility of any surrender of Shares and Warrants hereby will be determined by Parent (which may delegate power in whole or in part to Parent), and such determination shall be final and binding. Parent reserves the right to waive any irregularities or defects in the surrender of any Shares, and its interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and of this Letter of Transmittal (including these instructions) with respect to such irregularities or defects shall be final and binding. A surrender will not be deemed to have been made until all irregularities have been cured or waived.

7. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. Indicate the name and address to which payment for the Shares and Warrants is to be sent if different from the name and/or address of the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal.

8. Requests for Information or Additional Copies. Information and additional copies of this Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from Parent by writing to the address on the front of this Letter of Transmittal.

If the Certificate(s) has (have) been lost or destroyed, such fact should be indicated on the face of this Letter of Transmittal. In such event, Parent will forward additional documentation and instructions necessary to be completed in order to effectively surrender the Shares and Warrants represented by such lost or destroyed Certificate(s) (including instructions relating to payment by holder of such lost or destroyed Certificate of an indemnity/surety bond fee equal to 2.25% of the cash value of the Shares and Warrants represented by such Certificate with a minimum of $150.00.

The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historic in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) concerning future developments and their effect on the Company.

The Company’s forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions that could cause actual future results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the use of incorrect estimates for bidding a fixed-price contract; undertaking contractual commitments that exceed the Company’s labor resources; failing to perform contractual obligations efficiently enough to maintain profitability; national or regional weakness in construction activity and economic conditions; financial difficulties affecting projects, vendors, customers, or subcontractors; the Company’s backlog failing to translate into actual revenue or profits; failure of third party subcontractors and suppliers to complete work as anticipated; difficulty in obtaining or increased costs associated with bonding and insurance; impairment to goodwill; errors in the Company’s percentage-of-completion method of accounting; the result of competition in the Company’s markets; the Company’s decentralized management structure; material failure to comply with varying state and local laws, regulations or requirements; debarment from bidding on or performing government contracts; shortages of labor and specialty building materials; retention of key management; seasonal fluctuations in the demand for mechanical systems; the imposition of past and future liability from environmental, safety, and health regulations including the inherent risk associated with self-insurance; adverse litigation results; an increase in our effective tax rate; an information technology failure or cyber security breach; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause the Company’s results to differ from its projected results, please see its filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
