Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading positions in construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows have been made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 may not be indicative of Arcosa's expected business, financial condition, and results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2024.
These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board") authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.
Construction Products
The Construction Products segment recognizes substantially all revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Engineered Structures
Within the Engineered Structures segment, revenue is recognized for wind towers and certain utility structures over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed. In addition, we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of September 30, 2024, we had a contract asset of $77.3 million related to these contracts, compared to $66.8 million as of December 31, 2023, which is included in receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract asset is attributed to timing of deliveries of finished structures to customers during the period. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Transportation Products
The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
8
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of September 30, 2024 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2024 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2024:
Unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2024
Total
Amount		Percent expected to be delivered in 2024
 (in millions)
Engineered Structures:
Utility, wind, and related structures$1,264.6 20 %
Transportation Products:
Inland barges$244.7 32 %
Of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for utility, wind, and related structures, 47% are expected to be delivered during 2025 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2028. All of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges are expected to be delivered during 2025.
Income Taxes
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected credit losses. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. To accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to third parties. The Company has no recourse to these receivables once they are sold but may have continuing involvement related to servicing and collection activities. The impact of these transactions in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was not significant. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
9
Derivative Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices, or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. When derivative instruments are in place, the Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties to mitigate the risk of loss due to counterparties' non-performance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company will adopt additional disclosure requirements within its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2024 and its interim reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not adopted as of September 30, 2024
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for public companies during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Although ASU 2023-09 only modifies the Company's required income tax disclosures, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2024 Acquisitions
On October 1, 2024, we completed the acquisition of the construction materials business of Stavola Holding Corporation and its affiliated entities ("Stavola") for $1.2 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. Stavola, which will be reported within the Construction Products segment, is an aggregates-led and vertically integrated construction materials company primarily serving the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") through its network of five hard rock natural aggregates quarries, twelve asphalt plants, and three recycled aggregates sites. We are currently in the process of finalizing the accounting for this transaction and expect to complete the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration in the fourth quarter of 2024. The acquisition was financed with a combination of a $600 million issuance of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes that closed in August 2024 following the announcement of the acquisition and a $700 million borrowing of a variable-rate secured term loan that closed on October 1, 2024 concurrent with the completion of the acquisition. See Note 7 Debt for additional information.
In July 2024, we completed the acquisition of a Phoenix, Arizona based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $35.0 million.
10
In April 2024, we completed the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products LLC ("Ameron"), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered, premium concrete and steel poles for a broad range of infrastructure applications, including lighting, traffic, electric distribution, and small-cell telecom, for a total purchase price of $180.0 million. With operations in Alabama, California, and Oklahoma, Ameron is included in our Engineered Structures segment. The acquisition was funded with $160.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities ("Level 3" inputs). The preliminary valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $56.5 million of property, plant, and equipment, $27.1 million of customer relationships, $18.1 million of inventory, $12.8 million of technology, $12.0 million of accounts receivable, $8.9 million of trademarks and $42.8 million of goodwill in our Engineered Structures segment. The goodwill acquired, which is tax-deductible, primarily relates to Ameron's market position and existing workforce. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of property, plant, and equipment, customer relationships, and technology.
2023 Acquisitions
In December 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Lake Point Holdings, LLC and Lake Point Restoration LLC, (collectively "Lake Point") a Florida based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $65.1 million. The acquisition was funded with $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The preliminary valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $13.2 million of property, plant, and equipment, $19.1 million of mineral reserves, $11.5 million of permits, and $15.4 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of mineral reserves, permits, and property, plant, and equipment.
In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business and the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Florida based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.
In September 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Houston, Texas based stabilized sand producer in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
In March 2023, we completed the stock acquisition of a Houston, Texas based shoring, trench, and excavation products business in our Construction Products segment. In February 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.
Divestitures
On August 16, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its steel components business. The steel components business, previously reported in the Transportation Products segment, is a leading supplier of railcar coupling devices, railcar axles, and circular forgings. The total consideration for the divestiture was $110.0 million consisting of $55.0 million in cash, a $25.0 million seller's note and a $30.0 million earnout of which the estimated fair value as of September 30, 2024 was $14.1 million. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $23.0 million on the sale of the business which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenues and operating profit (loss) of the steel components business were $87.8 million and $(20.9) million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $117.6 million and $8.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we completed the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities of a single-location asphalt and paving operation in our Construction Products segment and the sale of a non-operating facility in our Engineered Structures segment. The total consideration for these divestitures was $27.3 million. The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $12.5 million which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
There were no divestitures completed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
11
Other
In June 2023, the Company settled a $15.0 million holdback obligation from the 2021 acquisition of Southwest Rock Products, LLC upon the extension of a certain mineral reserve lease. Based on final negotiations with the seller, the holdback was settled for $10.0 million and paid during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $5.0 million difference between the settlement amount and the amount accrued at the time of acquisition was recorded as a reduction in cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:
Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.
Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Debt.
Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration relates to estimated future payments expected from businesses previously acquired or sold. We estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration using a model appropriate for the structure of the contingent consideration, which may include discounted cash flow models, Monte Carlo simulations, or option pricing models. The fair values are sensitive to changes in the forecast of the performance metrics and in other metrics such as discount rates and volatility. The fair value is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions used in our latest projections.

Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to increase our revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to $600.0 million, extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility from January 2, 2025 to August 23, 2028, and refinance and repay in full the remaining balance of the term loan then outstanding under our prior credit facility.
On August 15, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to, among other things, (i) increase our revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $700.0 million, (ii) collateralize the amended revolving credit facility with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions), (iii) make the applicable margin for revolving borrowings, letters of credit and the commitment fee rate be based on our consolidated net leverage ratio (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), (iv) modify the margin for SOFR-based revolving borrowings and letters of credit to range from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, (v) modify the margin for base rate revolving borrowings to range from 0.25% to 1.50%, (vi) modify the commitment fee that accrues on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility to range from 0.20% to 0.45%, and (vii) modify the maximum permitted leverage to include a net debt concept (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), and to provide that such ratio shall be no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the next two fiscal quarters, 4.50 to 1.00 for the next following two fiscal quarters, and 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter (however, this maximum permitted leverage ratio may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for up to four fiscal quarters if a material acquisition is entered into). These amendments did not become effective until the closing of the Stavola acquisition on October 1, 2024. The amended revolving credit facility's maturity date of August 23, 2028 remains unchanged.
16
As of September 30, 2024, we had $240.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under our revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount of outstanding loans borrowed increased $80.0 million primarily due to $160.0 million borrowed in April 2024 to fund, in part, the acquisition of Ameron, of which $60.0 million was repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, as of September 30, 2024, prior to the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement, there were approximately $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility that will expire in 2025, which left $359.3 million available for borrowing. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
The interest rate for revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are variable based on the daily simple or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus 10-basis points, or an alternate base rate, in each case plus a margin for borrowing. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The margin for revolving borrowings and commitment fee rate are determined based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as measured by a consolidated funded indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash up to a maximum amount not to exceed $150.0 million, to consolidated EBITDA ratio). As of September 30, 2024, prior to the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement, the margin for borrowing based on SOFR was set at 1.50% and the commitment fee rate was set at 0.25%.
The revolving credit facility portion of the Amended Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company. On October 1, 2024, we collateralized our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions).
The carrying value of revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million. As of September 30, 2024, total unamortized debt issuance costs related to the prior and amended revolving credit facilities were $2.2 million. These costs are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Term Loan
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a new secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million. The Term Loan was funded on October 1, 2024 with the closing of the Stavola acquisition, of which $100.0 million was used to pay down the Company's revolving credit facility. The Term Loan requires, among other things, (i) mandatory prepayments from excess cash flow on an annual basis, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, (ii) mandatory prepayments with proceeds of certain asset sales and debt issuances, and (iii) quarterly principal amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the initial Term Loan. The Term Loan has a maturity date of October 1, 2031. The interest rate for the Term Loan is based on SOFR plus 2.25% per year. The Term Loan is prepayable at any time without penalty, except, in the event of a voluntary repricing in the first six months after closing, in which case a premium in the amount of 1.0% of the initial Term Loan is payable. The Term Loan is guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of the Company, that guarantee our revolving credit facility, and the Term Loan is secured on a pari passu basis with our revolving credit facility.
Senior Notes
On August 26, 2024, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior unsecured notes (the "2024 Notes") that mature in August 2032. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in February and August. In April 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes (the "2021 Notes", and together with the 2024 Notes, the "Senior Notes") that mature in April 2029. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semiannually in April and October. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our Amended Credit Agreement. The terms of each indenture governing the Senior Notes, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and each of its subsidiaries to create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. The terms of each indenture also limit the ability of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur certain types of debt.
17
The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in each applicable indenture) occurs, the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The estimated fair values of the 2024 Notes and 2021 Notes as of September 30, 2024 were $628.6 million and $383.9 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices in a market with little activity (Level 2 input).
In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes and the 2021 Notes, the Company incurred $8.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs.
The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of September 30, 2024 are as follows(1):

(1) The $700 million Term Loan was funded on October 1, 2024 concurrent with the closing of Stavola, of which $100 million was used to pay down the revolving credit facility. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures.
In connection with the agreement to acquire Stavola, on August 1, 2024 the Company entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders to provide a senior secured 364-day bridge loan facility of up to $1.2 billion for the purpose of providing the financing necessary to fund the acquisition. No funds were drawn upon the bridge loan facility, which terminated upon the closing of the Stavola acquisition. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $1.5 million of debt issuance costs related to the bridge loan facility, all of which is reflected in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Interest rate hedges
In December 2018, the Company entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company's committed credit facility. In conjunction with the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as a benchmark for borrowings under our credit facility, on July 1, 2023 the swap instrument transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR. The instrument effectively fixed the SOFR component of borrowings under our credit facility at a monthly rate of 2.71% until such instrument's termination. The interest rate swap instrument expired in October 2023 and no new interest rate swap instrument has been entered into in connection with the Term Loan.

Note 8. Leases
We have various leases primarily for office space and certain equipment. At inception, we determine if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. For leases that contain options to purchase, terminate, or extend, such options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Some of our lease arrangements contain lease components and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Note 10. Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. We have open tax years from 2014 to 2023 with various significant tax jurisdictions.
Our effective tax rates of 13.1% and 15.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to Advanced Manufacturing Production ("AMP") tax credits, compensation-related items, state income taxes, statutory depletion deductions, and tax effects of foreign currency translations. Our effective tax rates of 17.4% and 17.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to AMP tax credits, tax effects of foreign currency translations, compensation-related items, state income taxes, and statutory depletion deductions.

The Company contributed $0.5 million and $1.3 million to the multiemployer plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company contributed $0.4 million and $1.1 million to the multiemployer plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Total contributions to this plan for 2024 are expected to be approximately $1.7 million.

Note 14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income remaining after allocation to participating unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the weighted average net impact of nonparticipating unvested restricted shares. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.1 million and 1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.1 million and 1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Note 15. Contingencies
The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters including commercial disputes, alleged product defect and/or warranty claims, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, employment and/or workplace-related matters, and various governmental and environmental regulations. The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when probable losses can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2024, the reasonably possible losses and any related accruals for such matters were not significant.
Estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings, including those related to the environment or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:
•Company Overview
•Market Outlook
•Executive Overview
•Results of Operations
•Liquidity and Capital Resources
•Recent Accounting Pronouncements
•Forward-Looking Statements
Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” “Company,” “we,” or “our”) and related Notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Company Overview
Arcosa, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading positions in construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Market Outlook
•Within our Construction Products segment, market demand remains healthy overall when seasonal weather conditions have been normal, supported by increased infrastructure spending and private non-residential activity. The outlook for single-family residential housing continues to be impacted by higher interest rates and home affordability, which has negatively impacted volumes. We have been successful in managing inflationary cost pressures through proactive price increases.
•Within our Engineered Structures segment, our backlog as of September 30, 2024 provides good production visibility for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of these orders. In utility structures, order and inquiry activity continues to be healthy, as customers remain focused on grid hardening and reliability initiatives. The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") on August 16, 2022, which included a long-term extension of the Production Tax Credit for new wind farm projects and introduced new Advanced Manufacturing Production (“AMP”) tax credits for companies that domestically manufacture and sell clean energy equipment in the U.S., is a significant catalyst for our wind towers business. As demonstrated by more than $1.1 billion of new orders for delivery through 2028, which we have received since the passage of the IRA, our wind towers business is at the beginning stages of a market recovery. A large portion of these orders will support wind energy expansion projects in the Southwest. As a result, we have opened a new plant in New Mexico and started delivering towers from this facility late in the second quarter of 2024.
•Within our Transportation Products segment, our backlog for inland barges as of September 30, 2024 was $244.7 million and extends into 2025. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of these orders. Our barge business is recovering from cyclical lows resulting from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when order levels fell sharply due to high steel prices throughout 2022 and 2023. Over this time, customer inquiries have remained healthy, initially for dry barges and more recently for tank barges. The fleet continues to age as new builds have not kept pace with scrapping, and utilization rates are high. We have been successful in filling orders when we can strategically source steel. During the third quarter, we received orders of $75 million for tank and hopper barges.

Executive Overview
Recent Developments
In October 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the construction materials business of Stavola Holding Corporation and its affiliated entities ("Stavola") for $1.2 billion in cash. Stavola, which will be reported within the Construction Products segment, serves the New York-New Jersey MSA through its network of five hard rock natural aggregates quarries, twelve asphalt plants, and three recycled aggregates sites. The purchase price was funded with a $700.0 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) that matures in October 2031 and $600.0 million of 6.875% senior notes (the "2024 Notes") that matures in August 2032.
In August 2024, the Company completed the sale of its steel components business. Previously reported in the Transportation Products segment, the steel components business is a leading supplier of railcar coupling devices, railcar axles, and circular forgings. The total consideration for the divestiture was $110.0 million consisting of $55.0 million in cash, a $25.0 million seller's note and a $30.0 million earnout of which the estimated fair value as of September 30, 2024 was $14.1 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $23.0 million on the sale of the business which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In April 2024, we completed the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products, LLC ("Ameron"), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered, premium concrete and steel poles for a broad range of infrastructure applications, including lighting, traffic, electric distribution, and small-cell telecom, for a total purchase price of $180.0 million. With operations in Alabama, California, and Oklahoma, Ameron is included in our Engineered Structures segment. The acquisition was funded with $160.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

Other Investing and Financing Activities
Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan, and Senior Notes
In August 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("the Credit Agreement") to increase our revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to $600.0 million, extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility from January 2, 2025 to August 23, 2028, and refinance and repay in full the remaining balance of the term loan then outstanding under our prior credit facility. On August 15, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to, among other things, (i) increase our revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $700.0 million, (ii) collateralize the amended revolving credit facility with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions), (iii) make the applicable margin for revolving borrowings, letters of credit and the commitment fee rate be based on our consolidated net leverage ratio (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), (iv) modify the margin for SOFR-based revolving borrowings and letters of credit to range from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, (v) modify the margin for base rate revolving borrowings to range from 0.25% to 1.50%, (vi) modify the commitment fee that accrues on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility to range from 0.20% to 0.45%, and (vii) modify the maximum permitted leverage to include a net debt concept (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), and to provide that such ratio shall be no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the next two fiscal quarters, 4.50 to 1.00 for the next following two fiscal quarters, and 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter (however, this maximum permitted leverage ratio may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for up to four fiscal quarters if a material acquisition is entered into). These amendments did not become effective until the closing of the Stavola acquisition on October 1, 2024. The amended revolving credit facility's maturity date of August 23, 2028 remains unchanged.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $240.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under our revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount of outstanding loans borrowed increased $80.0 million primarily due to $160.0 million borrowed in April 2024 to fund, in part, the acquisition of Ameron, of which $60.0 million was repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, as of September 30, 2024, prior to the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement, there were approximately $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility that will expire in 2025, which left $359.3 million available for borrowing. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
The interest rate for revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are variable based on the daily simple or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus 10-basis points, or an alternate base rate, in each case plus a margin for borrowing. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The margin for revolving borrowings and commitment fee rate are determined based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as measured by a consolidated funded indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash up to a maximum amount not to exceed $150.0 million, to consolidated EBITDA ratio). As of September 30, 2024, prior to the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement, the margin for borrowing based on SOFR was set at 1.50% and the commitment fee rate was set at 0.25%.  
The revolving credit facility portion of the Amended Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company. On October 1, 2024, we collateralized our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions).
33
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a new secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million. The Term Loan was funded on October 1, 2024 with the closing of the Stavola acquisition. The Term Loan requires, among other things (i) mandatory prepayments from excess cash flow on an annual basis, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, (ii) mandatory prepayments with proceeds of certain asset sales and debt issuances, and (iii) quarterly principal amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the initial Term Loan. The Term Loan has a maturity date of October 1, 2031. The interest rate for the Term Loan is based on SOFR plus 2.25% per year. The Term Loan is prepayable at any time without penalty, except in the event of a voluntary repricing in the first six months after closing, in which case a premium in the amount of 1.0% of the initial Term Loan is payable. The Term Loan is guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee our revolving credit facility, and the Term Loan is secured on a pari passu basis with our revolving credit facility.
On August 26, 2024, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes (the "2024 Notes") that mature in August 2032. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in February and August. In April 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes (the "2021 Notes", and together with the 2024 Notes, the "Senior Notes") that mature in April 2029. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semiannually in April and October. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility. The terms of each indenture governing the Senior Notes, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and each of its subsidiaries to create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. The terms of each indenture also limit the ability of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur certain types of debt.
We believe, based on our current business plans, that our existing cash, available liquidity, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund necessary capital expenditures and operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Dividends and Repurchase Program
In September 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share that is scheduled to be paid on October 31, 2024.
In December 2022, the Board authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There has been no material change in our market risks since December 31, 2023 as set forth in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 9 Other, Net to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect and record the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), to process, summarize, and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, in a timely fashion. The Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining these disclosure controls and procedures and evaluating their effectiveness (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15l under the Exchange Act). Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures that took place as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
As permitted by the SEC Staff interpretive guidance for recently acquired businesses, management's assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of the Ameron business acquired in April 2024. Ameron represents approximately 5% of consolidated total assets and 2% of consolidated revenues as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

THIS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of August 1, 2024, by and among (i) ARCOSA MS9, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), (ii) STAVOLA HOLDING CORPORATION, a New Jersey corporation (“Stavola NJ”), (iii) STAVOLA HOLDINGS PENNSYLVANIA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Stavola PA” and, together with Stavola NJ, the “Equity Sellers”), (iv) STAVOLA TRUCKING COMPANY, INC., a New Jersey corporation (“STC”), (v) STAVOLA MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC., a New Jersey corporation (“SMC”), (vi) STAVOLA REALTY COMPANY, a New Jersey general partnership (“SRC” and, together with STC and SMC, the “Asset Sellers” and, together with the Equity Sellers, the “Sellers”), (vii) Stavola NJ, solely in its capacity as representative for the Sellers and the Owners (the “Sellers’ Representative”), (viii) solely for purposes of Section 1.5, Article 4, Section 6.3(b), Section 6.6, Section 6.11, Section 6.15, Section 6.16, Article 7, Section 9.2(b), Section 11.5, Section 11.13 and, as necessary to give effect to these enumerated provisions, Article 10 and Article 11, certain of the DIRECT AND INDIRECT EQUITY OWNERS OF THE SELLERS SET FORTH ON Annex A hereto (each, a “Founder” and collectively, the “Founders”), and (ix) solely for purposes of Section 6.3(a) and Section 11.16, and, as necessary to give effect to these enumerated provisions, Article 10 and Article 11, ARCOSA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer Parent”).

Article 1.
SALE AND PURCHASE OF PURCHASED INTERESTS
1.1Agreement to Sell and Purchase; Excluded Assets; Assumed Liabilities; Non-assignable Assets.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) Stavola NJ shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer, free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens under applicable securities Laws), and the Buyer shall purchase from Stavola NJ, at the Closing, all rights, title and interests in and to the NJ Purchased Interests, (b) Stavola PA shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer, free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens under applicable securities Laws), and the Buyer shall purchase from Stavola PA, at the Closing, all rights, title and interests in and to the PA Purchased Interests, (c) STC shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all rights, title and interests in and to the STC Assets, and the Buyer shall purchase from STC, at the Closing, all rights, title and interests in and to the STC Assets, (d) SMC shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all rights, title and interests in and to the SMC Assets, and the Buyer shall purchase from SMC, at the Closing, all rights, title and interests in and to the SMC Assets, and (e) SRC shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all rights, title and interests in and to the SRC Assets, and the Buyer shall purchase from SRC, at the Closing, all rights, title and interests in and to the SRC Assets.
(b)Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is not purchasing, nor has any expectation to receive, pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby any rights, title or interests in any Excluded Asset.
(c)At the Closing, the Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities, and agree to pay, discharge, satisfy and perform when due, all of the Assumed Liabilities. The Buyer will execute and deliver (i) an assignment and assumption agreement, the form of which is set forth hereto as Exhibit A (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), (ii) a bill of sale, the form of which is set forth hereto as Exhibit B (the “Bill of Sale”), (iii) a purchased interest assignment
2

agreement, the form of which is set forth hereto as Exhibit C (the “Purchased Interest Assignment Agreement”), and such other agreements and instruments as the Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request to further evidence such assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, and agreement to pay, discharge, satisfy and perform when due, all of the Assumed Liabilities.
(d)The Buyer shall not assume or be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Excluded Liability, and the Asset Sellers agree that they shall remain liable to pay, discharge, satisfy and perform all of the Excluded Liabilities, as and when due, and shall not have any expectation to receive, pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, any recourse from the Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Companies) for such Excluded Liabilities. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict that may arise in the application or interpretation of the definitions of “Assumed Liabilities” and “Excluded Liabilities,” the explicit inclusion of an item on any Schedule referred to in either definition shall take priority over any textual provision of either definition that would otherwise operate to include or exclude such liability from the applicable definition.
(e)Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an assignment or transfer of any Purchased Asset, (i) which by its terms or applicable Law is not assignable or transferable without the consent of a third party that is not a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement) or a Governmental Authority or (ii) that is cancelable by a third party or Governmental Authority in the event of an assignment or transfer (“Non-assignable Asset”), unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. A list of Non-assignable Assets is set forth on Schedule 1.1(e) hereto. Following the Closing, at the applicable Asset Seller’s sole cost and expense, until the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, such Asset Seller and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent for each Non-assignable Asset. Notwithstanding such cooperation and commercially reasonable efforts, in the event consents to the assignment or transfer thereof cannot be obtained, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties will cooperate, at the applicable Asset Seller’s sole cost and expense, in any Lawful and economically feasible arrangement pursuant to which Buyer shall have the benefit of such Non-assignable Asset(s) as if it had been assigned to Buyer and bear the burden and obligations of such Non-Assignable Asset as if it had been assumed by Buyer. To the extent the Parties cannot agree on such an arrangement, such Non-assignable Asset(s) shall be held, as of and from the Closing, by the applicable Asset Seller in trust for the Buyer, at the applicable Asset Seller’s sole cost and expense, and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by the Buyer, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for the Buyer’s account. The applicable Asset Seller shall take or cause to be taken at such Asset Seller’s expense such actions as the Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide the Buyer with the benefits of the Non-assignable Asset(s) and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Non-assignable Asset(s), and such Asset Seller shall promptly pay over to the Buyer all money or other consideration received by it or any of its Affiliates in respect of all Non-assignable Asset(s). As of and from the Closing, the applicable Asset Seller authorizes the Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Non-assignable Asset(s), to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of such Asset Seller under the Non-assignable Asset(s), and the Buyer agrees to be solely responsible for any breach of warranty for goods or services provided by the Buyer thereunder or any related repurchase, indemnity or service obligations owed to the third-party contract party under any such Non-
3

assignable Asset(s) arising out of the Buyer’s performance thereof. If the applicable consent is obtained following the Closing, then the Parties shall promptly enter into an assignment and assumption agreement or other appropriate transfer documentation for such Non-assignable Asset, in substantially the form of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, to the extent relevant, and thereafter such Non-assignable Asset(s) shall be deemed to be a “Purchased Asset” for all purposes under this Agreement. The Buyer agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of a Seller or Owner contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document shall be breached or deemed breached, and except as otherwise expressly contemplated in this Agreement, no condition to the Buyer’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed not satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any such Consent or any Proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain such Consent.
1.2Purchase Price.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Interests and the Purchased Assets shall equal the Purchase Price (which shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.3), and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. For purposes of calculating the Estimated Purchase Price, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative has delivered to the Buyer a statement (A) certifying that the Initial Closing Statement was prepared based on the records of the Companies and in accordance with this Agreement and (B) setting forth (in reasonable detail) a good faith calculation of the (1) Estimated Net Working Capital, (2) Estimated Net Cash, (3) Estimated Indebtedness, and (4) Estimated Transaction Expenses and, on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price, after deducting the amount of any Tax Escrow that is required to be withheld by the Buyer to cover a Deficiency under Section 6.10 (the “Initial Closing Statement”). Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Net Cash and Estimated Indebtedness shall be calculated in accordance with (x) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (y) to the extent consistent with the foregoing clause (x), GAAP, consistently applied and (z) to the extent consistent with the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), the accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, and classifications that were used in the preparation of the Financial Statements as of March 31, 2024, in each case above, subject to any policies set forth on Exhibit G (the accounting principles as described in this sentence, the “Applicable Accounting Principles”). The Buyer shall have the opportunity to review and comment on the Initial Closing Statement, and the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will work together in good faith to resolve any questions, comments or disputes related thereto; provided, however, that in the event any such question, comment or dispute remains unresolved as of the Closing, the estimates set forth in the Initial Closing Statement shall be the applicable amounts set forth in the Initial Closing Statement provided by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 1.2(a), adjusted to resolve any manifest error and otherwise for any questions, comments or disputes raised by the Buyer with which the Sellers’ Representative agrees, in its sole discretion, pursuant to this sentence.
(b)At the Closing, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by the Sellers’ Representative for further distribution to (i) the Asset Sellers, an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Asset Seller Consideration, minus (B) any Tax Escrow required under Section 6.10, and (ii) the
4

Equity Sellers, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Interest, an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Estimated Purchase Price, minus (B) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, minus (C) the Indemnity Escrow Amount, minus (D) the Asset Seller Consideration, minus (E) any Tax Escrow required under Section 6.10.
(c)Concurrent with the Initial Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Buyer (i) the Certificate of Indebtedness, and (ii) the Certificate of Transaction Expenses.
(d)The Parties acknowledge that prior to the date hereof, the Parties made the HSR Filing, and that the Buyer has paid the cost of any filing fees in connection with the HSR Filing.
(e)The Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”) with PNC Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among, and mutually agreed by, the Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be paid out pursuant to Section 1.3(c) and Section 1.3(d). The fees of the Escrow Agent relating to the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be paid by the Buyer.
(f)The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be paid out pursuant to Section 9.2(b). The fees of the Escrow Agent relating to the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be paid by the Buyer.
1.3Adjustments to Closing Date Cash Purchase Price.
(a)As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement setting forth (in reasonable detail) a good faith calculation (together with reasonably detailed supporting information) of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) the Closing Net Cash Amount, (iii) the Closing Indebtedness and (iv) the Transaction Expenses, and on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Purchase Price, after giving effect to any portion of the Tax Escrow that was released to the Sellers’ Representative under Section 6.10 (the “Final Closing Statement”). As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall also prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement setting forth (in reasonable detail) a good faith calculation (together with reasonably detailed supporting information) of the Buyer’s calculation of the Aggregate Capital Expenditures (the “CapEx Closing Statement”). All components of the Final Closing Statement shall be calculated in accordance with the defined terms set forth in this Agreement and the Applicable Accounting Principles. Each Asset Seller shall give the Buyer reasonable access, during normal business hours, to any relevant information under such Asset Seller’s control that is not under the control or otherwise available to the Buyer or the Companies that is necessary for the Buyer’s preparation of the Final Closing Statement and reasonably requested by the Buyer. From and after the delivery of the Final Closing Statement, upon reasonable advance notice from the Sellers, the Buyer shall provide the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives, during normal business hours, with reasonable access to, and the right to make copies at the Sellers’ Representative’s expense of, the
5

records (including work papers, schedules and calculations) that are under the control of the Buyer or its Affiliate, subject to Section 6.3(b) hereof, and the employees of the Companies. The Buyer shall direct the employees and Representatives of the Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Companies) to cooperate in a timely manner and in all reasonable respects with the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives in connection with its review of such work papers and other documents and information relating to the calculations in the Final Closing Statement and the CapEx Closing Statement as the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall reasonably request. When the Buyer delivers the Final Closing Statement and the CapEx Closing Statement, as applicable, the Buyer shall also deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a certificate signed by the Vice President of Finance and Business Development of the Buyer (or if such position is not then filled or the individual serving in such position is unavailable to sign, another employee of the Buyer serving in a comparable position) (i) certifying that the Final Closing Statement or the CapEx Closing Statement, as applicable, was prepared based on the records of the Companies and other information then available and in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) containing (A) the Buyer’s good faith calculation (the “Buyer’s Proposed Calculations”) of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Net Cash Amount, the Closing Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses or (B) the Aggregate Capital Expenditures, as applicable.
(b)If, within thirty (30) days after their receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative disputes any aspect of the Final Closing Statement or any of the Buyer’s Proposed Calculations, the Sellers’ Representative shall, on or prior to such thirtieth (30th) day, deliver to the Buyer a written notice setting forth such dispute in reasonable detail (the “Dispute Notice”) together with Sellers’ Representative’s proposed alternative calculations (the “Sellers’ Proposed Calculations”) of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Net Cash Amount, the Closing Indebtedness, and the Transaction Expenses. If the Sellers’ Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice and the Sellers’ Proposed Calculations to the Buyer on or prior to such thirtieth (30th) day after its receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Final Closing Statement delivered by the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(a) shall be final and binding on the Parties; provided that, if the Sellers’ Representative (acting in good faith) notifies the Buyer in writing, prior to such thirtieth (30th) day, that the Sellers’ Representative is unable to do so as a result of the Buyer’s failure to provide requested access to records and/or employees in a timely manner, the Sellers’ Representative will have ten (10) Business Days following the date on which Buyer makes such requested access (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.3(a)) available to the Sellers’ Representative, after which time, if the Sellers’ Representative has not delivered a Dispute Notice and the Sellers’ Proposed Calculations to the Buyer, the Final Closing Statement delivered by the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(a) shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Sellers’ Representative timely delivers a Dispute Notice and the Sellers’ Proposed Calculations to the Buyer pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any further disagreements within thirty (30) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Notice and the Sellers’ Proposed Calculations. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative within such thirty (30)-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative have not resolved all such disputed items by the end of such thirty (30)-day period, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall submit in writing for resolution to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC (if such firm is willing and able to serve), or in any case such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm, other than the Sellers’, the Buyer’s or their respective Affiliates’ independent accountant or
6

auditor, upon which the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative may hereafter agree (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), the remaining disputed items (the “Remaining Disputed Items”), and within thirty (30) days after its engagement, the Independent Accounting Firm shall (x) conduct its own review of the Final Closing Statement and thereafter select either the Buyer’s Proposed Calculations of the Remaining Disputed Items or the Sellers’ Proposed Calculations of the Remaining Disputed Items or an amount between the two and (y) deliver to the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative a revised Final Closing Statement (with a worksheet containing material supporting calculations) reflecting the Independent Accounting Firm’s final determination of the Remaining Disputed Items pursuant to clause (x), which Final Closing Statement (as adjusted to reflect the resolution of the Remaining Disputed Items) shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Once appointed, the Independent Accounting Firm shall have no ex parte communication with any of the Parties, and no Party shall submit any documentation other than its respective written position. The Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement shall be limited to the resolution of the Remaining Disputed Items, which resolution shall be in accordance with this Agreement, and no other matter relating to the Final Closing Statement shall be subject to determination by the Independent Accounting Firm except to the extent affected by resolution of the Remaining Disputed Items. In resolving any Remaining Disputed Items, the Independent Accounting Firm (x) shall not assign a value to any Remaining Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Remaining Disputed Item claimed by the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative or less than the smallest value for such Remaining Disputed Item claimed by the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative in the Final Closing Statement or Dispute Notice, respectively and (y) shall act as experts and not arbitrators and shall base their determinations solely on the submissions by the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative, and not by independent review. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including, with respect to the Buyer, the Companies after the Closing Date) and Representatives to, cooperate diligently and in good faith with any reasonable request of the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve any Remaining Disputed Items as soon as reasonably possible after the Independent Accounting Firm is engaged, including giving the Independent Accounting Firm access to all data and other information it reasonably requests for purposes of such resolution, other than such data or information that is covered by attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product doctrine or similar protections; provided, however, that no Party will disclose to the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Independent Accounting Firm will not consider for any purpose, any settlement discussions or settlement offer made by either Party. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand, so that the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses paid by each Party bears the same proportion to the total fees and expenses as the aggregate dollar amount of items unsuccessfully disputed by such Party, if any (as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm), bears to the total dollar amount of items in dispute (e.g., if One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) were contested by the Sellers’ Representative, and of that amount the Independent Accounting Firm awarded Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) to the Buyer and Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), then the Buyer would be responsible for twenty-five percent (25%), and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) would be responsible for seventy-five percent (75%) of the costs, fees, and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm). The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error or fraud.
7

(c)Upon the final determination of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 1.3(b), the Purchase Price shall be recalculated using the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Net Cash Amount, the Closing Indebtedness and the Transaction Expenses, each as set forth on the Final Closing Statement (subject to Section 1.3(d)) (the “Final Adjustment”). If the Purchase Price as so recalculated in the Final Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative, for further distribution to the Equity Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Interest, the amount of such excess. If the Purchase Price as so recalculated in the Final Adjustment is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then such difference shall be paid to the Buyer out of the Adjustment Escrow Account. Subject to any other amounts payable to the Buyer out of the Adjustment Escrow Account under this Section 1.3, once the Final Adjustment has been completed, any remaining amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account will be paid to the Sellers’ Representative for further distribution to the Equity Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Interests. In the event that the Adjustment Escrow Amount is insufficient to pay the amount owed to the Buyer, then the Equity Sellers (through the Sellers’ Representative) shall pay to the Buyer such excess in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Interests.
(d)With respect to this Section 1.3(d) and the determination of the Aggregate Capital Expenditures:
(i)the Parties shall not separately account for it in the Estimated Purchase Price or the Initial Closing Statement;
(ii)the dispute, settlement and payment mechanics (including recourse through the Adjustment Escrow Account and timeframes for objection and response) in this Section 1.3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the determination of the Aggregate Capital Expenditures as though it were an adjustment to Purchase Price;
(iii)while the Parties do not intend for any payment to the Buyer under this Section 1.3(d) with respect to an adjustment concerning the Aggregate Capital Expenditures be treated as an adjustment to Purchase Price, the Parties have agreed to calculate and settle any difference between the Aggregate Capital Expenditures and the CapEx Make-Whole Cap Amount in this manner for administrative convenience; and
(iv)In the event that the amount of the Aggregate Capital Expenditures does not equal or exceed the CapEx Make-Whole Cap Amount, the shortfall amount (i.e., the amount of the CapEx Make-Whole Cap Amount less the amount of the Aggregate Capital Expenditures), if any, will be payable by the Sellers to the Buyer solely out of the Adjustment Escrow Account. Subject to any other amounts payable to the Buyer out of the Adjustment Escrow Account under this Section 1.3, once the amount of each of (A) the Aggregate Capital Expenditures and (B) the Final Closing Statement is fully and finally determined, any remaining amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account will be paid to the Sellers’ Representative for further distribution to the Equity Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Interests.
(e)Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (based on the wiring instructions provided to the applicable
8

party at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment) within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment pursuant to Section 1.3(c).
1.4Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer (and any other Person that has any withholding obligation with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement any amount as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other provision of Tax Law; provided, that (other than in the case of applicable payroll withholdings and deductions, including withholding for income, social security, employer and other payroll Taxes), the Buyer or such other Person, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Sellers’ Representative with reasonable notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to withholding any amounts pursuant to this Section 1.4, and the Parties shall work in good faith to minimize or eliminate any such withheld amounts to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be timely paid over to the appropriate Tax authority as required by applicable Law. To the extent that the amounts are so deducted or withheld by Buyer or such other Person, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.
1.5No Liability for Direct Payments; Holdback by Sellers’ Representative. Each Seller hereby irrevocably directs the Buyer to make the payments or deliveries that such Seller is entitled to pursuant to this Agreement to the Sellers’ Representative. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement: (a) none of the Buyer or its Affiliates shall have any liability relating to any payment or allocation of such amounts by the Sellers’ Representative or any other Person to any Seller (and no such Seller shall have any claim with respect to such Seller’s payment against any source other than by payment by the Sellers’ Representative); and (b) none of the Buyer or its Affiliates shall have any liability to make or cause to be made any payments to any Seller individually. Without limiting the foregoing, upon receipt of any consideration by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, neither the Buyer nor its Affiliates shall be liable to any Seller for any damages resulting from such Seller not receiving any further distribution or remittance of such consideration. In calculating any amounts payable to any Seller or the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely conclusively on information set forth on Schedule 1.5 hereto as conclusive evidence of the Asset Seller Consideration and each Equity Seller’s Pro Rata Interest, and neither the Buyer nor its Affiliates shall have any liability relating to any payment or allocation made to any Seller or the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the Asset Seller Consideration or Pro Rata Interests as set forth on Schedule 1.5 hereto. The Equity Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Sellers’ Representative shall hold back and retain the amount of $10,000,000.00 in the Sellers’ Representative Account from the cash proceeds otherwise distributable to each Equity Seller hereunder, and shall use such amount to pay Sellers’ Representative Expenses as provided in Section 11.13, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Any amounts remaining in the Sellers’ Representative Fund on the date which is the second anniversary of the Closing Date, less a reasonable reserve for any existing or potential fees, costs, expenses or liabilities (as established by the board of directors of the Sellers’ Representative), shall be distributed to the Equity Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Interest.
9

1.6Purchase Price Allocation. The Sellers and the Buyer shall allocate the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3(c), plus the amount of any liabilities of the Companies treated as assumed for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, among the assets of the Companies. The Buyer shall prepare and submit to the Sellers’ Representative a draft allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Companies (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) (which shall be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any comparable or similar provisions of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate) within sixty (60) days following the date that the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3(c). The Sellers’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Buyer’s draft Purchase Price Allocation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to review and provide to the Buyer its comments to such draft Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties agree to use good faith efforts to agree upon a final version of the Purchase Price Allocation and the Parties shall report the transaction on all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, information returns and supplements thereto required to be filed under Section 1060 of the Code) in a manner consistent with such mutually agreed-upon Purchase Price Allocation, if any, provided that if the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer are unable to agree upon the Purchase Price Allocation, each Party shall be permitted to report the fair market value of such items on their Tax Returns as determined by such Party.

OF THE EQUITY SELLERS WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPANIES AND OF THE ASSET SELLERS WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS
The Equity Sellers, jointly and severally, and only where specifically stated below, SMC, STC and SRC, severally and not jointly, represent and warrant to the Buyer that the statements contained in this Article 3 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (unless a specific date is set forth in such representation or warranty, in which case such representation or warranty must be true and correct as of such specific date), except as set forth in the Schedules hereto; for the avoidance of doubt, references in this Article 3 to a “Company” or “Subsidiary” shall include all predecessors thereto (including, with respect to any Company or Subsidiary that was converted into a limited liability company as part of the Restructuring, such Company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, both prior to and after such conversion into a limited liability company as part of the Restructuring).
3.1Organization; Authority; Binding Effect. Each Company is (or will be, as a result of the Restructuring) a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of its jurisdiction of formation. Each Company (a) has delivered to the Buyer complete and correct copies of the Governing Documents and all amendments thereto of such Company that are in effect on the date hereof, and such Company is not in default under or in violation of any provisions of such Governing Documents as of the date hereof, and (b) will deliver to the Buyer prior to the Closing complete and correct copies of the Governing Documents and all amendments thereto of such Company that are created or adopted after the date hereof in connection with the consummation of the Restructuring, and such Company is not in default under or in violation of any provisions of such Governing Documents as of the Closing Date. Each Company is qualified to do business as a foreign entity in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 3.1 hereto. Each Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (or of comparable status) under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Business taken as a whole. Each Company has all requisite power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as such business is now
15

conducted. Each Company has all requisite power and full legal right to enter into the Ancillary Agreements (as well as documents relating to the Restructuring) to which it is a party in accordance with their terms. Each Company has obtained all membership or other necessary approvals for the execution and delivery of the Ancillary Agreements (as well as documents relating to the Restructuring) to which it is a party by such Company and for the consummation by such Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Restructuring). The Ancillary Agreements (as well as documents relating to the Restructuring) to which each Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Company and, assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery of such documents by the other parties thereto (other than the Owners and the Sellers’ Representative), constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Company, enforceable against such Company in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent such enforceability is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other Law affecting or relating to creditor’s rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a Proceeding in equity or at Law).
3.2Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.2 hereto sets forth a list of all Subsidiaries that each Company will have after giving effect to the Restructuring. After giving effect to the Restructuring, no Company will have any Subsidiary that is not also a Company.

(a) The issued and outstanding equity interests of each Company and the name of record and beneficial holder of such equity interests (i) as of the date hereof and (ii) after giving effect to the Restructuring are set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereto. The Purchased Interests constitute all of the authorized, issued and outstanding equity interests of each Company that is a direct Subsidiary of an Equity Seller. Schedule 3.3 hereto sets forth all of the authorized, issued and outstanding equity interests of each Company. All of the Purchased Interests and all of the equity interests of each Company that is not a direct Subsidiary of an Equity Seller are, and will be, after giving effect to the Restructuring, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, derivatives, convertible securities, conversion rights, exchange rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any securities of any of the Companies. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.3 hereto, there are no proxies, voting rights, shareholder agreements, registration rights agreements, buy-sell agreements or other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting or transfer of the equity securities of any of the Companies (including Contracts relating to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, right of first offer, co-sale rights or “drag-along” rights). No holder of Indebtedness of any of the Companies, nor any other Person, has any right to convert or exchange such Indebtedness for any equity securities of any of the Companies. None of the outstanding equity securities of any of the Companies were issued in violation of any Laws, options, warrants, derivatives, convertible securities, conversion rights, exchange rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any securities of such Company, the Governing Documents of such Company or any Contract to which such Company is a party or by which it is bound.
(b)No former direct or indirect holder of any equity interests of any of the Companies, has any claim or right against any Company that remains unresolved or to which any Company has or may have (now or in the future) any material liability and no such claim is currently pending or threatened.
16

The Buyer shall, and shall direct its Representatives to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.2, and the Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties and their Representatives harmless from and against any Losses (including interest, reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of the Buyer’s or its Representatives access to any Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property during the Interim Period except to the extent such Losses were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Sellers, the Companies, their respective Affiliates, or their respective Representatives. The Companies, and the Affiliates and Representatives of the Sellers and the Founders, are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions in this Section 6.2.
6.3Confidential Information.
(a)The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated June 13, 2023, entered into by and between Buyer Parent and Stavola NJ (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential (and to cause its Affiliates to keep confidential), in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) provided or made available to the Buyer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, that any potential Debt Financing Sources, Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ lenders and noteholders and their respective representatives shall be deemed to be Representatives of Buyer for purposes of such agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing for any reason, then the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the later of (i) two (2) years after the date of such termination, notwithstanding any earlier termination of the Confidentiality Agreement according to its terms, and (ii) the termination of the Confidentiality Agreement according to its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
57

(b)For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date (except with respect to information that constitutes a trade secret, in which case the period shall extend until the information no longer constitutes a trade secret under applicable Law), the Sellers and the Founders shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, hold in confidence and shall not use in any manner any confidential and proprietary information, whether written or oral, to the extent concerning the Companies or the Purchased Assets (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Excluded Liabilities); provided, however, that the Sellers, the Founders and their respective Affiliates may disclose any such information to their respective Representatives who have a reasonable need to know such information, are informed of the confidential nature of such information and have obligations with respect to such information that are consistent with the terms of this Section 6.3(b), and may use any such information (i) as may be reasonably required by such Persons in connection with any insurance Proceedings or Tax audits against, or Proceedings concerning, any such Persons and (ii) to comply with obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. If a Seller, an Founder or any of their respective Affiliates is requested or compelled to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information by judicial or administrative process by any Governmental Authority or by other requirements of Law, such Person shall, if legally permitted, promptly notify the Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information that such Person is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that such Person shall cooperate with the Buyer, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in the Buyer’s efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.3(b) to the contrary, (A) the provisions of this Section 6.3(b) shall not apply to any information which has come within the public domain, except that which has come in the public domain through a breach of this Section 6.3(b) by any of the Sellers, the Founders or their respective Affiliates or Representatives (B) the Asset Sellers may retain (subject to the confidentiality obligation in this Section 6.3(b)) any data that is not practicable to identify and extract subject to using commercially reasonable efforts to so identify and extract such materials and providing the Buyer with copies of the portions thereof that relate to the Business, and (C) all right, title, and ownership of the confidential and proprietary information described in this Section 6.3(b) shall remain with the Buyer, and nothing in this Agreement or otherwise is intended to grant any license or right to use all or any of such confidential and proprietary information. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no Founder shall be liable to the Buyer (or its Affiliates) for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by any other Founder in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any covenant in this Section 6.3 or in Section 6.6.
6.4Tax Matters.
(a)Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.4(a), the Buyer shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Companies and the Subsidiaries in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any Straddle Period) and that are due following the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, all pre-Closing Tax Returns of the Companies that pertain to U.S. federal, state, or local Income Taxes of each Company for its taxable year that includes the Closing Date and shall report on such Tax Returns all items of income, deduction, credit, gain or loss attributable to the Companies through the end of the day on the Closing Date.
58

(b)The Buyer, each Company, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any audit, action, claim or proceeding regarding Taxes (a “Tax Audit”). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other parties’ request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any Tax Audit and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Buyer, each Company, the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative shall (i) retain all books and records in their possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to such Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date and (ii) give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other parties so requests, shall allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and records. The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).
(c)In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes (other than property or ad valorem Taxes) for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the Closing Date. In the case of any property or ad valorem Taxes that are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. To the fullest extent permitted by Law as determined by each Party’s Tax Return preparer on a “more likely than not” basis, Tax deductions for Transaction Expenses shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period on any Tax Return filed for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period.
(d)Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.10, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Restructuring) shall be borne and paid by the Sellers, and the Sellers shall, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Buyer and the Companies shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation; provided, however, (i) the first $50,000.00 of “Mansion Tax” payable to the State of New Jersey, if any, shall be borne and paid by the Buyer (and any excess amount shall be borne and paid by the Sellers), and (ii) the “controlling interest” Transfer Taxes payable to the State of New Jersey or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, if any, shall be borne and paid by the Sellers, and the Sellers shall, at their own expense, file all necessary documentation with respect to all “controlling interest” Transfer Taxes.
(e)For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the parties agree to treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a purchase by the Buyer, and a sale by the Sellers, of
59

all of the assets of the Companies on the Closing Date. The Parties shall (y) file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing treatment and (z) not take any position inconsistent with the foregoing tax treatment, in each case, except as required by applicable Law.
(f)Without the consent of the Seller’s Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), the Buyer shall not file any Tax Return or amended Tax Return for any Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, voluntarily initiate any discussions with a taxing authority with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns for the Sellers, the Owners or the Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or make any Tax election with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, which would be reasonably likely to increase the amount of Taxes for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to this Section 6.4. The Buyer shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates (including the Companies) to, take any action outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date after the Closing except as is expressly contemplated by this Agreement or that would not reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of the Sellers or the Owners.
6.5Employee Matters.
(a)Prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer (or any Affiliate of the Buyer) shall offer employment, effective as of the Closing Date, on a continuous basis, to all employees of SMC listed on Schedule 6.5(a) hereto, who constitute all of those individuals who primarily provide services as employees to the Business, regardless of whether or not on leave status, in each case effective upon, and conditioned on the occurrence of, the Closing (each such employee, an “Offer Employee”). The Buyer shall provide each Offer Employee with an offer of continuous employment and employment terms in accordance with the Buyer’s covenants in this Section 6.5, contingent on the Closing and satisfactory results from the Buyer’s standard pre-employment background check and Form I-9 process; provided, however, that such background check process shall not delay the Offer Employee’s hiring on a continuous basis. In addition, each offer of employment pursuant to this Section 6.5(a) shall provide for (i) a position that is comparable in responsibilities to the position held by the applicable Offer Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) other employment terms that are (A) substantially similar in the aggregate to the status, benefits (other than severance and retiree medical coverage), pay and other terms and conditions applicable to such employment immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (B) in any event, sufficient to avoid notice and/or similar obligations under any applicable Law, including federal and state WARN Acts. Each Offer Employee who becomes an employee of the Buyer (or any Affiliate of the Buyer) is hereinafter referred to as a “Transferred Employee.”
(b)The Buyer (or any Affiliate of the Buyer), shall provide each Non-Union Employee who is employed by any one or more of the Companies immediately prior to the Closing date and who remains employed by one or more of the Companies on and after the Closing Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”) and each Transferred Employee with: (i) a base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the applicable Company immediately prior to the Closing Date; (ii) annual target cash bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which are no less than the annual target cash bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by the applicable Company immediately prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) retirement and welfare benefits (other than severance benefits and retiree medical coverage) that are substantially similar, in the aggregate (and giving effect to the Buyer’s
60

benefits policies), with those provided by the applicable Company under the Seller Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date. With respect to all of the foregoing obligations of the Buyer for each Union Employee, to the extent such obligations apply, the Buyer (or its Affiliate) shall abide by the terms and conditions of whatever Collective Bargaining Agreement covers such Union Employee’s employment position until the expiration, modification or termination of such Collective Bargaining Agreement in accordance with its terms or applicable Law.
(c)With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by the Buyer or its Affiliate (collectively, “Buyer Plans”) in which any of the Transferred Employees and Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Closing Date, the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) shall, or shall cause the Companies (or their Affiliates) to, provide each Transferred Employees and Continuing Employee with credit for service performed for all of the Companies or SMC, in the case of Transferred Employees (as if such service were performed for the Buyer (or for any of its Affiliates)), for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Buyer Plan in which each such Transferred Employee and Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Seller Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent commercially reasonable and subject to the required consent of any third parties, the Buyer (or its Affiliate) shall, or shall cause the Companies to, (i) waive for each Transferred Employee and Continuing Employee (and their dependents) any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively at work requirement or any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under any Buyer Plans covering any Transferred Employee and/or Continuing Employee to the extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively at work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to such Transferred Employee and Continuing Employee under the terms of the Seller Plans, (ii) waive any and all evidence of insurability requirements with respect to the Transferred Employees and Continuing Employees to the extent such evidence of insurability requirements were not applicable to the Transferred Employees and the Continuing Employees under the Seller Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) give full credit under any Buyer Plans covering each Continuing Employee and Transferred Employee (and their dependents) for all co-payments and deductibles set forth in the Seller Plans which are satisfied prior to the Closing Date in the same plan year as the Closing Date, and for any lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.
(d)From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall cause each Company to perform any obligations to which it is subject under a Collective Bargaining Agreement including, while such obligations are in effect, taking all actions necessary to provide similar retirement and health and welfare type plans in which the Union Employees participate as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of such Collective Bargaining Agreement such that there is no gap, lapse, or interruption in participation under any type of plan covered under such Collective Bargaining Agreement. Should any such Company, after the Closing Date, fail to make contributions required to be made by the Company under a Collective Bargaining Agreement to a Multiemployer Plan or otherwise withdraw from any Multiemployer Plan, thereby resulting in a withdrawal liability claim against that Company by the Multiemployer Plan under Title IV of ERISA, the Buyer shall be responsible for such withdrawal liability claim.
61

(e)Except as provided below, SMC will provide continued health and medical coverage as required under Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and/or any other applicable federal, state or local Law or ordinance to all current and former eligible employees and independent contractors of any and all of the Companies, as well as all Offer Employees (and to their spouses, dependents and beneficiaries) with respect to whom a “qualifying event” (as such term is defined under Sections 4980B(f)(3) of the Code or 603 of ERISA) or other triggering event described under the applicable federal, state or local Laws or ordinances occurred or occurs before or on the Closing Date. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that SMC and its ERISA Affiliates (i) may, at any time, terminate their obligations to provide COBRA continuation coverage to the extent permitted by Law and (ii) will have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse the Buyer and/or its Affiliates from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, Taxes, interest, penalties and expenses (but excluding indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages (unless such indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages are direct damages or otherwise awarded to a third party) (hereinafter, collectively, “Losses”) resulting therefrom.
(f)This Section 6.5 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties, and nothing in this Section 6.5, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any Person whether or not a party to this Agreement (including any employee of a Company) any right to continued employment with a Company or any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.5. Except as provided in Section 6.5(h), nothing contained in this Section 6.5, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any Seller Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement or require the Buyer to continue or amend any Buyer Plan and any Buyer Plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.
(g)Prior to the Closing Date, none of the Sellers, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall issue any communication (including any electronic communication) to any employee of a Company or any Offer Employee relating to such continued employment and/or offers of employment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Employment Matters”) without the prior written mutual approval of (a) the Sellers’ Representative, in the case of a communication by the Buyer or its Affiliate, or (b) the Buyer, in the case of a communication by the Sellers or their Affiliates, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The Sellers’ Representative, the Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall mutually consider and agree to the contents, scope, form and timing of any communications by the Buyer with the employees of the Companies or the Offer Employees on all Employment Matters. At any time following the Parties’ agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Sellers or their Affiliates may participate in any communication sessions relating to Employment Matters organized by the Buyer or its Affiliate prior to the Measurement Time (“Employee Sessions”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Sellers and the Buyer agree that at all times (i) both the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall consult with each other prior to the Sellers or the Buyer carrying out any Employee Sessions or otherwise effecting any communications to the employees of the Companies or the Offer Employees relating to Employment Matters prior to the Measurement Time. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the Sellers and the Companies from communicating with their employees in the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date.
62

(h)Prior to the Closing Date, the Companies or, with respect to the Business, the Sellers shall fully and timely satisfy all notice, information, consultation, bargaining or consent obligations owed to any Union representing any employee of the Companies or any Offer Employee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any notice to any such Union that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Sellers shall give reasonable consideration to any comments of Buyer, before it is delivered to the Union.
(i)With respect to the WARN Act and any other applicable Law relating to notice or payments in connection with plant closings or mass layoffs (such as a state WARN Act), the Buyer agrees that it shall comply with any notice or payment obligations under the federal WARN Act or any applicable state WARN Act that occur after the Closing Date. The Parties agree that the intention of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are not intended to trigger notice and/or payment obligations under WARN Acts and will not cause “employment losses” or “termination of employment” as those terms are defined under applicable WARN Acts.
(j)    Prior to Closing, the Sellers shall pay out, to all Transferred Employees and Continuing Employees who are not covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement, any vacation or paid time off (together, “PTO”) days that they accrued but did not use as of the Closing Date.  With respect to Union Employees who have accrued but have not used PTO days, any assumption of, carry-over or payout of such unused PTO days shall be the responsibility of the Buyer consistent with the requirements of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements.
6.6Restrictive Covenants.
(a)Each Seller and Founder hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Company possesses trade secrets and other confidential information, that the relevant Company may be irreparably damaged if such Seller or Founder were to provide services, directly or through any Affiliate or other Person, competing with such Company during the “Restrictive Period” (as defined below) in the “Restrictive Territory” (as defined below), and that such competition by such Seller or Founder may result in a significant loss of goodwill by such Company. Each Seller and Founder further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 6.6 were a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that the Buyer would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the Parties if any Seller or Founder materially breached the provisions of this Section 6.6. Therefore, in further consideration of the Purchase Price payable to the Sellers hereunder (from which the Sellers and Founders shall derive substantial direct and indirect benefit), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Seller and Founder hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(b)From the Closing Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restrictive Period”), except as set forth on Schedule 6.6(b) hereto, each Seller and Founder shall not directly or indirectly own any interest in, individually or in conjunction with any other person, manage, control, participate in (whether as an officer, manager, director, employee, partner, agent, representative, consultant, contractor or otherwise), consult with, render services for, acquire, establish or own any financial, beneficial or other interest in, or in any other manner engage (or assist any other entity to engage) in any business that competes with or is known to the Seller or
63

Founder (following due inquiry) to provide services to any Person competing with the Business as conducted in the twelve (12)-month period prior to the Closing Date, in each case, in the States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, Delaware, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maryland (the “Restrictive Territory”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit a Seller, a Founder or their respective Affiliates from being a passive owner of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as none of such Persons has any active participation in the business of such corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.6(b) shall not limit or restrict the right of any Seller or Founder to own or operate any quarries or other business located outside of the Restrictive Territory.
(c)During the Restrictive Period, no Seller or Founder shall directly or indirectly through another Person, without the Buyer’s written consent, (i) induce, or attempt to induce, any current employee or independent contractor of any Company (other than those employees and independent contractors set forth on Schedule 6.6(c)) to leave the employ or services of such Company, or interfere with the relationship between such Company and any employee or independent contractor thereof, (ii) solicit for hire any person who was an employee or independent contractor of such Company at any time during the six (6)-month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any employee or independent contractor, or (iii) call on or solicit any client, customer, distributor, supplier, service provider, licensee, licensor, investor or other business relation of any of the Companies in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business, or materially diminish the business conducted, with such Company in the Restrictive Territory, or interfere with the relationship between any such client, customer, distributor, supplier, service provider, licensee, investor or business relation and such Company in the Restrictive Territory (including publicly making any negative or disparaging statements or communications regarding such Company, or any of its Affiliates).
(d)The Parties agree that money damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Section 6.6. Therefore, in the event of a breach of this Section 6.6, the Buyer, each Company and/or their respective successors and assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof.
(e)If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 6.6 and in Section 6.3(b) (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope, area or other restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope, area or other reasonable restrictions under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope, area or other respective restrictions and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law. Each Seller and Founder has consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Companies’ Business and the substantial investment in each Company made by the Buyer hereunder. Each Seller and Founder
64

further acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are being entered into by it in connection with the direct or indirect sale by it of the goodwill of the Companies’ Business pursuant to this Agreement and not directly or indirectly in connection with its employment or any other relationship with any of the Companies.
(f)In the event of any material breach or material violation by any Seller or Founder of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant shall be tolled for the period of such breach or violation.
6.7Consents, Filings and Conditions to Closing. During the Interim Period, the Sellers and the Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein) to take such actions as are necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and/or relating to the Restructuring as promptly as practicable, including to (i) obtain from Governmental Authorities all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and/or relating to the Restructuring, including any Required Consents, and (ii) expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article 7, and shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with each other Party in connection therewith; provided, however, in no event shall any Party or any of their respective Affiliates be (i) obligated to initiate any Proceedings in connection with obtaining any required consent, authorization, order or approval, or (ii) required to pay any material cost or expense in connection therewith, except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent Environmental Permits listed on Schedule 3.13(d) or water registrations listed in Schedule 3.32(f) are to be transferred or modified to effectuate the transfers contemplated herein: (a) prior to Closing, Sellers will undertake such actions necessary to transfer or modify such permits as needed; (b) Sellers and Buyers will cooperate to effectuate such transfers or modifications; and (c) if such modifications or transfers are not effectuated prior to the Closing, Sellers will authorize Buyers to continue operations under such permits or approvals in conformance with such permits or approvals and Sellers will diligently pursue the effectuation of such transfers or modifications. The Sellers and the Buyer shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The transfer of all such Permits, so long as the transfer process has been initiated and diligently pursued by Sellers, shall not be a condition to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer will be responsible for any amounts to be paid to third parties in connection with obtaining any new Permits; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that Sellers shall be responsible for any amounts imposed by ISRA and/or necessary to achieve compliance with ISRA to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.14.
6.8D&O Provisions.
(a)The Buyer acknowledges that (i) each Person that prior to Closing served as a director, officer or manager of a Company or who, at the request of a Company, served as a director, officer or manager of another Person (collectively, with such Person’s heirs, executors, or administrators, the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) may be entitled to indemnification, expense reimbursement, and exculpation to the extent provided in the Governing Documents of a Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement (“D&O Provisions”), (ii) such D&O Provisions are rights of Contract and (iii) for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, no amendment or modification to any such D&O Provisions shall materially and adversely affect in any manner the
65

D&O Indemnified Persons’ rights, or such Company’s obligations, set forth in the applicable Governing Documents as of the date hereof, with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing Date. The Buyer shall cause each applicable Company to comply with this Section 6.8.
(b)The obligations of the Buyer under this Section 6.8 (including to cause the applicable Companies to comply with this Section 6.8) shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Person to whom this Section 6.8 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Person (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Persons to whom this Section 6.8 applies are hereby made express and intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, this Section 6.8).
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no D&O Indemnified Persons shall have any claim against a Company or the Buyer, whether against any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or otherwise, in respect of any breach by such D&O Indemnified Persons of a post-Closing covenant in this Agreement.
(d)Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, the Sellers shall use best efforts to cause the Companies to purchase, at the Buyer’s cost and expense (either directly or as a Closing credit to Sellers), from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current insurance carrier of the Companies and their respective Subsidiaries with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, a prepaid extended reporting endorsement (i.e., “tail coverage”) which provides “directors and officers” insurance coverage for each of the individuals who were officers, directors, managers, partners or similar functionaries of any of the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as the policy or policies maintained by the Companies and their respective Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of such individuals for an aggregate claims reporting or discovery period of not less than six (6) years from and after the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such policy the “D&O Tail Policy”); provided that in no event shall the annual premium for the D&O Tail Policy exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the most recent aggregate annual premium allocation of the Companies and their respective Subsidiaries; and provided further that if the annual premium of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Buyer shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing, for a cost not exceeding such amount.
6.9Access to Books and Records. Except as provided in Section 6.4 with respect to Taxes, from and after the Closing Date for a period of six (6) years, the Buyer shall, and shall cause each Company to, provide the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative and their respective representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying), during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, (x) to the books and records of the Companies with respect to periods or occurrences prior to the Closing Date and (y) reasonable access, during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, to employees (if any) of each of the Companies, in each case to the extent necessary to facilitate compliance with any applicable financial reporting or regulatory requirements or any other bona fide reasonable business purpose; provided, that such access (a) does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Buyer or the Companies, (b) shall be subject to customary confidentiality requirements, (c) does not
66

violate any applicable Law (d) does not breach any obligation of confidentiality or other obligation owed to any Person, (e) does not jeopardize the health and safety of any employee of the Buyer, the Companies or their respective Affiliates, and (f) does not jeopardize any attorney-client privilege protection under the work product doctrine or other legal privilege of the Buyer or a Company (provided, that the Buyer or such Company, as the case may be, shall cooperate with the Sellers to make any commercially reasonable alternative arrangements requested by the Sellers to, if possible, provide such access or information in a manner that does not waive or violate such privilege or protection). Except as provided in Section 6.4 with respect to Taxes, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Sellers’ Representative, the Buyer and the Companies shall preserve and retain, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, the books and records of the Companies relating to the conduct of the Business and operations of the Companies prior to the Closing Date.
6.10Additional Real Estate Matters. The Sellers and the Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) comply with the provisions of Annex C. Further, with respect to the Purchased Real Property:
(a)The Parties acknowledge that the transfer tax laws of the State of New Jersey require that portions of the Purchase Price be allocated to the specific properties constituting the Purchased Real Property for the purpose of computing the applicable transfer taxes. The Parties agree that the allocations set forth in Schedule 6.10 hereto are reasonable allocations and agree to use such allocations in preparing and submitting transfer tax documents for the Purchased Real Property at Closing.
(b)Except as set forth in Section 6.4(d), the applicable Asset Seller (or the Sellers’ Representative on its behalf) shall pay all applicable transfer taxes with respect to the sale of the Purchased Real Property.
(c)As of the Closing Date, real estate taxes and assessments affecting the Purchased Real Property shall be apportioned between the applicable Asset Seller and the Buyer.
(d)The Buyer shall have the right to comply with N.J.S.A. 54:32B-22(c) and N.J.S.A. 54:50-38 (the “Bulk Transfer Statutes”) and the applicable Asset Seller (or the Sellers’ Representative on its behalf) shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with such compliance. In furtherance thereof, the Buyer may deliver a Notification of Sale, Transfer, or Assignment in Bulk (Form C-9600) in the then-current form prescribed by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Taxation (the “Division”) (and such other forms as the Division may require to be delivered by a purchaser), together with a fully executed copy of this Agreement (the “Tax Notification”) to the Division so that such Tax Notification is received by the Division not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing. The applicable Asset Seller (or the Sellers’ Representative on its behalf) shall provide all information requested by the Buyer to enable the Buyer to complete the Tax Notification within three (3) Business Days of the Buyer’s request. If, at any time prior to Closing, the Division informs the Buyer that a possible claim (the “Tax Claim”) for taxes of any nature imposed or to be imposed on the applicable Asset Seller (or the Sellers’ Representative on its behalf) exists and the amount thereof (the “Deficiency”), then the Closing shall take place as scheduled, and the Buyer shall withhold the portion of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the Deficiency, which amount so withheld shall be placed in an escrow account (the “Tax Escrow”), which Tax Escrow shall be held and disbursed by the Buyer’s Title
67

Company (in such capacity, the “Tax Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement in a form mutually agreeable to the applicable Asset Seller (or the Sellers’ Representative on its behalf), the Buyer and the Tax Escrow Agent. The applicable Asset Seller (or the Sellers’ Representative on its behalf) shall have the right to negotiate directly with the Division regarding the Tax Claim and the Deficiency, provided, however, that (i) the Buyer and the Tax Escrow Agent shall be entitled to comply with all instructions of the Division, including paying to the Division such amounts from the Tax Escrow as requested by the Division, and (ii) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result thereof. If a revised tax escrow letter or tax clearance letter is issued by the Division or if the Division otherwise informs the Buyer or the Tax Escrow Agent in writing (including by fax or email) that the Division will not assert liability or has revised its assertion of liability against the Buyer pursuant to the Bulk Transfer Statutes in connection with the transfer of the applicable Purchased Real Property, then the Tax Escrow Agent shall promptly release any and all amounts remaining in the Tax Escrow to the Sellers’ Representative after paying to the Division the amount determined by the Division to be due. This Section 6.10(d) shall survive the Closing.
(e)With respect to the Bound Brook Quarry and the Oldwick Quarry which are being purchased by the Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Stavola NJ or its designee shall have an option to repurchase the Bound Brook Quarry and the Oldwick Quarry for one dollar ($1.00) each, pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement which is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit H. The Option Agreement shall be recorded by the Sellers in the land records of Somerset County, New Jersey and Hunterdon County, New Jersey upon the Closing.
6.11Restructuring. At or prior to the Closing, the Sellers and the Founders shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates (including the Companies) to complete the Restructuring, including any actions that are reasonably necessary for the Restructuring and in accordance with Schedule 6.11 hereto. The Sellers’ Representative shall keep the Buyer and its Representatives reasonably apprised with respect to the status of the Restructuring and provide copies of all related documentation upon the Buyer’s reasonable request, which documentation shall be in the form made available to the Buyer prior to the date of this Agreement unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Sellers and the Buyer.
6.12Bulk Sales Laws. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.10, the Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.13Financing Cooperation; Financial Statements Assistance.

Further, until the earlier of (i) the filing via EDGAR of Buyer Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025 and (ii) the due date for such Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations, upon reasonable request of Buyer Parent, the Sellers agree to use reasonable best efforts, in each case at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to cause the present and former independent accountants for the Sellers or the Companies to provide reasonable assistance to Buyer Parent in connection with any registration statement, report or other filing with the SEC or any offering of securities, in each case consistent with their customary practice (including providing accountants’ comfort letters and consents from such independent accountants to the extent required or customary).
(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.13(a)(i), in no event shall Sellers or any of their respective Representatives be required to (A) bear any cost or expense or pay any fee in connection with the Debt Financing or any other obligation required under, or action taken pursuant to, Section 6.13(a)(i), (B) enter into any Contract (other than customary
69

authorization and representation letters, which shall, if requested, include a customary 10b-5 representation with respect to information given in writing by the Sellers and shall include customary limitations, the Companies or their Subsidiaries contained therein) or make any binding commitment that is not expressly conditioned on the consummation of the Closing and that does not terminate without liability to Sellers upon termination of this Agreement (other than liability for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses for which Sellers are reimbursed or indemnified as provided in this clause (ii)), (C) take any actions to the extent such actions would, in Sellers’ reasonable judgment, (x) unreasonably and materially interfere with the normal business or operations of Sellers or the Companies, (y) subject any director, manager, officer or employee of a Seller or a Company to any actual or potential personal liability, or (z) result in a failure of any condition to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transaction unless a Seller has knowingly and willfully breached its obligations under this Section 6.13(a), (D) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, (E) commit to take any action under any certificate, document or instrument that is not contingent upon, or becomes effective prior to, the Closing, except for customary authorization and representation letters, (F) take any actions that the Sellers reasonably believe would (i) result in a violation of any Material Contract, confidentiality agreement or any Law, or the loss of any legal or other privilege, (ii) conflict with or violate the Governing Documents of any of the Sellers or the Companies, or (iii) cause any representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation of Sellers or the Founders in this Agreement to be breached or cause any condition set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement to fail to be satisfied, (G) take any actions to the extent such actions would involve the consenting to the pre-filing of any UCC-1 financing statement or other instrument which would serve to create a Lien on any of the assets of the Sellers or the Companies prior to the Closing, (H) take any actions to the extent such actions would require creating the obligation to indemnify any third party, including, without limitation, any Financing Source, or (I) provide access to or disclose information that Sellers reasonably determine would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, the Sellers, the Companies, the Founders, or the Owners, or any officer, director or employee thereof. Buyer shall be responsible for all costs, fees and expenses related to the Debt Financing, including the compensation of any professionals, contractors or advisors of any Seller or Company directly related to actions taken pursuant to this Section 6.13(a). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall promptly, upon written request by a Seller, reimburse such Seller for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable and documented compensation or other fees of any professional, contractor or advisor) incurred in connection with the Debt Financing incurred by such Seller and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives in connection with the Debt Financing, including the cooperation of such Seller and the Subsidiaries thereof contemplated by this Section 6.13(a), and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Representatives from and against any and all claims against, and losses suffered or incurred by, any of them in connection with this Section 6.13(a), the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any information used in connection therewith, in each case, except to the extent suffered or incurred as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by any Seller or Company or, in each case, their respective Representatives.
(iii)Each Seller and Company hereby consents to the use of the trademarks, service marks and logos of Buyer and its Subsidiaries in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing.
70

(iv)From the date of this Agreement, the Sellers and Companies agree that: (i) Buyer and its Affiliates may initiate contact with and, pursue and provide the information contemplated by Section 6.13(b) below to, in each case, potential Debt Financing Sources in connection with the Debt Financing and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) Buyer and its Affiliates may initiate contact with their lenders and noteholders, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.
(v)For avoidance of doubt, in the event Buyer obtains any Alternative Financing, this Section 6.13(a) shall apply in its entirety.
(vi)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not have the right to assert any default, breach or non-compliance by Seller with the covenants set forth in Section 6.13(a) (any, a “Cooperation Default”) unless Buyer has provided written notice to Sellers’ Representative specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Cooperation Default and the relevant Seller has not cured such Cooperation Default within five (5) Business Days after Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of such notice (the “Seller Cure Period”), in which case the Closing shall be postponed until the date that is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Seller Cure Period. However, if the relevant Seller fails to cure the Cooperation Default by the last day of the Seller Cure Period, Buyer may exercise any and all remedies available to it in connection with such Cooperation Default on the next Business Day following the last day of the Seller Cure Period.
(vii)Each of the Sellers (on behalf of themselves and, in the case of the Equity Sellers, on behalf of the Companies), and the Founders expressly authorizes the use and disclosure of the Financial Statements, the Required Information and all material non-public information provided by and with respect to the Sellers and the Companies, only (A) to the Debt Financing Sources who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information and have professional obligations of confidentiality, other potential sources of capital, rating agencies and prospective lenders during syndication and marketing of the Debt Financing or any permitted replacement, amended, modified or Alternative Financing, and (B) by Parent to the extent it determines that it is reasonably required by applicable state or federal securities Laws; provided, however, with respect to any such disclosure being made under (B) above, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the Sellers’ Representative before making any such disclosure and no such disclosure will include detailed customer or pricing information, including, without limitation, the identity of the customers of the Companies without the express written consent of the Sellers’ Representative.
(b)Covenants of Buyer.
(i)Until the earliest to occur of (x) the Closing Date, (y) the valid termination of this Agreement and (z) the consummation of alternative financing transactions or asset sales generating net cash proceeds sufficient, when taken together with Other Sources, to pay all amounts payable in cash by Buyer under this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer shall (A) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the Debt Financing as promptly as practicable, including using reasonable best efforts to (1) maintain in full force and effect the Commitment Letter and to negotiate and execute definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing, which shall not
71

include terms that in any respect expand on the conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing at the Closing or reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing available to be funded on the Closing Date below the amount necessary (when taken together with Other Sources) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Financing Agreements”) and (2) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions and covenants applicable to the Buyer in the Commitment Letter and such Financing Agreements that are to be satisfied by the Buyer at or prior to the Closing and to consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, unless such Commitment Letter and/or Financing Agreements terminate in accordance with their terms upon the consummation of alternative financing transactions or asset sales generating net cash proceeds sufficient, when taken together with Other Sources, to pay all amounts payable in cash by Buyer under this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (B) comply with their obligations under the Commitment Letter and the Financing Agreements. The Buyer shall keep Sellers informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of any material developments concerning the status of the Debt Financing.
(ii) In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter (other than the consummation of alternative financing transactions or asset sales generating net cash proceeds sufficient, when taken together with Other Sources, to pay all amounts payable in cash by Buyer under this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Debt Financing that is available, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay all related fees and expenses (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and to obtain, and when obtained, to provide Sellers with a copy of, a new financing commitment that provides for such Alternative Financing (the “Alternative Financing Commitment Letter”); provided, that Buyer shall not be required to obtain financing that includes terms and conditions materially less favorable to Buyer relative to those in the portion of the Financing being replaced. If applicable, any reference in this Agreement to “Debt Financing” shall include “Alternative Financing”, any reference to “Commitment Letter” shall include the “Alternative Financing Commitment Letter” and any references to “Financing Agreements” shall include the definitive documentation relating to any such Alternative Financing.
(iii)The Buyer shall promptly (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days) notify Sellers in writing (A) of any actual breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any other party to the Commitment Letter or Financing Agreement, (B) of the receipt by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Representatives of any notice or other communication from any Debt Financing Source, any lender or any other Person with respect to any (1) actual, threatened or alleged breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement or any provision of the Debt Financing contemplated pursuant to the Commitment Letter or Financing Agreements (including any proposal by any Debt Financing Source, or lender or other Person to withdraw, terminate or make a material change in the terms or the conditions of (including the amount of Debt Financing contemplated by) the Commitment Letter), or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Commitment
72

Letter or any Financing Agreement, (C) if for any reason the Buyer believes in good faith that there is a material possibility that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements and (D) of the termination or expiration of the Commitment Letter or Financing Agreement, in each case, that would result in, or is a result of, a Restricted Commitment Letter Amendment (as defined below); provided that, with respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C), in no event shall the Buyer be under any obligation to deliver or disclose any information that would reasonably be expected to waive the protection of attorney-client privilege or similar legal privilege or breach any duty of confidentiality. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after a Seller delivers to Buyer a written request, the Buyer shall provide any information reasonably requested by such Seller relating to any of the circumstances referred to in this Section 6.13(b)(iii).
(iv)The Buyer shall not permit or consent to (A) any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to be made to the Commitment Letter if such amendment, replacement, supplement or modification would (1) change, expand or impose new conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing from those set forth therein on the date hereof, (2) change the timing of the funding of the Debt Financing thereunder or reasonably be expected to impair, delay or prevent the availability of all or a portion of the Debt Financing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (3) reduce the aggregate cash amount of the Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing) or (4) otherwise materially adversely affect the ability of the Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the timing of the Closing (collectively, the “Restricted Commitment Letter Amendments”) (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 6, the Buyer may amend the Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof (but not to make any other changes), but only if the addition of such additional parties, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in the occurrence of a Restricted Commitment Letter Amendment), (B) any waiver of any provision or remedy available to the Buyer under the Commitment Letter or (C) early termination of the Commitment Letter (other than in connection with an amendment or replacement of the Commitment Letter in a manner that is not a Restricted Commitment Letter Amendment); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the termination of, or reduction of commitments under, the Commitment Letter pursuant to the terms thereof (including any amendment, modification or agreement to reflect such termination or reduction) as a result of alternative financing transactions or asset sales generating net cash proceeds sufficient, when taken together with Other Sources (including any remaining commitments under the Commitment Letter), to pay all amounts payable by the Buyer under this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall not constitute a Restricted Commitment Letter Amendment or otherwise be prohibited under this clause (iv). For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Commitment Letter” shall include such document as permitted or required by this Section 6.13 to be amended, modified or waived, in each case from and after such amendment, modification or waiver.
73

(c)Costs, Fees and Expenses of the Sellers. The costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers under this Section 6.13 shall be paid on behalf of Sellers, or reimbursed to Sellers, in addition to the Reimbursement Fee. For purposes of clarification, if the Reimbursement Fee becomes due at a time when fees, costs or expenses due to the Sellers under this Section 6.13 are outstanding, the Reimbursement Fee will not satisfy those outstanding expenses which must be satisfied in addition to the Reimbursement Fee.
6.14Industrial Site Recovery Act.
(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that some of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and/or relating to the Scheduled Real Property may impose obligations under ISRA in respect of certain of the Owned Real Property, Leased Real Property and/or the operations thereon. To the extent applicable, with respect to each affected Owned Real Property and/or Leased Real Property, the Sellers shall, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense:
(i)Retain a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (as such term is defined under the Administrative Rules for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites, N.J.A.C. 7:26C et. seq. (the “ARRCS”)) (the “Sellers’ LSRP”) and submit to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the “NJDEP”), or cause the Sellers’ LSRP to prepare, certify and submit, as appropriate, to the NJDEP, the submissions required to be made prior to the Closing pursuant to ISRA in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and/or relating to the Scheduled Real Property (the “ISRA Cases”), including but not limited to, (A) a General Information Notice (as such term is defined under ISRA) within five (5) calendar days of execution of this Agreement and (B) no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date for any or all of the ISRA Cases: either (1) a Response Action Outcome (as such term is defined under the ARRCS) (“RAO”) issued by the Sellers’ LSRP in the form of: (x) an entire site RAO when an entire tax lot is subject to ISRA; or (y) an Area of Concern RAO when only a portion of a tax lot is subject to ISRA (the “ISRA RAO(s)”) or (2) (i) a Remediation Certification (as such term is defined under ISRA) designating the Sellers as the Person Responsible for Conducting Remediation (as such term is defined under the ARRCS) under ISRA with respect to any and all ISRA Cases for which an ISRA RAO was not issued by the Sellers’ LSRP earlier than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (ii) a Remediation Cost Review and Remediation Funding Source/Financial Assurance Form (as such terms are defined under the ARRCS); and (iii) a Remediation Funding Source (as such term is defined under the ARRCS) in form and amount acceptable to the NJDEP and the Sellers’ LSRP. Such ISRA RAOs may be subject to an “Engineering Control,” and/or “Institutional Control” as those terms are currently defined at N.J.A.C. 7:26E, provided such Engineering Control or Institutional Control is appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Sellers’ LSRP, is acceptable to the NJDEP, does not consist of or entail groundwater remedial action (other than natural attenuation groundwater remedial action), does not result in costs to or liability of Buyer or its Affiliates in excess of $100,000 in any twelve month period and does not unreasonably interfere with or limit the continued use of the area subject to such Engineering Control or Institutional Control for operations consistent with the current use of such area.
(ii)After Closing, the Sellers shall be solely responsible, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, to take all actions necessary to achieve compliance with ISRA, including all
74

investigation and remediation required by Environmental Laws and within the required timeframes with respect to environmental conditions on, at, under and/or emanating from the affected Owned Real Property and Leased Real Property in order for the Sellers’ LSRP to issue an ISRA RAO for each of the ISRA Cases, and to maintain in full force and effect all Remediation Funding Sources and Financial Assurance in accordance with NJDEP requirements. The Sellers shall deliver any such ISRA RAO to the Buyer promptly upon issuance of the same by Sellers’ LSRP. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Sellers shall, at their cost and expense, respond to, and comply with all obligations imposed by, the NJDEP and/or the Sellers’ LSRP in connection with any audit, rescission, or invalidation of any ISRA RAO, including the performance of additional investigatory and/or remedial actions required by the NJDEP and/or the Sellers’ LSRP to allow the Sellers’ LSRP to issue new, amended or replacement ISRA RAO(s); provided, however, that the Sellers shall have no responsibility to obtain a new, amended, or replacement ISRA RAO to the extent any rescission or invalidation by the NJDEP and/or the Sellers’ LSRP is the result of Buyer’s non-compliance in any material respect with any Engineering Control or Institutional Control upon which such ISRA RAO is conditioned.
(iii)After Closing, and after the issuance of an ISRA RAO pursuant to this Section 6.14 and the establishment of any Engineering Control or Institutional Control to which such ISRA RAO is subject, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for maintaining any such Engineering Control or Institutional Control, including any Remedial Action Permit (as such term is referenced at N.J.A.C. 7:26C) and any financial assurance required thereunder; provided that the Sellers shall be solely responsible for establishing any such Engineering Control or Institutional Control. At no cost to the Buyer other than to post the minimum financial assurance required, the Sellers shall initiate and effectuate the transfer of any existing Remedial Action Permit for those properties being transferred under the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with regard to such transfer.
(b)In connection with any and all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.14, including the preparation and filing of any forms, filings or documents required by ISRA, compliance with ISRA, and any environmental investigations related thereto, Sellers shall provide the Buyer prior written notice of, and the opportunity to attend, telephone discussions or meetings with Governmental Authorities (including NJDEP), the opportunity for prior review of and comments to (provided, that the Sellers shall reasonably consider any such comments) any report or submission made to any Governmental Authorities (including NJDEP), and copies of correspondence with any Governmental Authorities (including NJDEP).
6.15Stavola Name. Except as set forth below, after the Closing, neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Companies) shall have any right to use the Stavola Marks (including as part of any internet domain names) in connection with Business in the Territory. For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date (the “Use Period”), the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Companies) shall be fully permitted, with no restrictions, to use the Stavola Marks, including internet domain names that include the Stavola Marks, solely in connection with their operation of the Business. As soon as reasonably practicable following the expiration of the Use Period, but in no event later than January 1, 2030 (such period of time, together with the Use Period, the “Transition Period”), Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Companies) to, (i) cease all use of the Stavola Marks, including internet domain names that include the Stavola Marks, (ii) take
75

necessary actions to replace materials, including internet domain names, signage, stationery and promotional and other customer-facing materials in any media (including digital and electronic) that bear the Stavola Marks, and (iii) cause each of its Affiliates whose corporate, trade or other names include the Stavola Marks, as applicable, to change its name to remove such Stavola Marks from such name and internet domain name. Effective as of the Closing Date, each Seller and Founder grants to the Buyer and the Companies a non-exclusive, non-assignable (which may be sublicensed only to their respective vendors and other service providers solely in connection with the operation of the Business, and not for the independent use of such sublicensee) royalty-free license during the Transition Period to use the Stavola Marks in the operation of the Business. For clarity, nothing shall restrict the Buyer or its Affiliates from using or referencing the Stavola Marks at any time after the Closing in (A) a non-trademark manner to describe or provide information regarding the history of the Business, (B) historical, legal or business documents or similar materials or (C) as required by applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 6.15 shall not limit or restrict the rights of the Buyer or the obligations of the Sellers and the Founders under Section 6.6. Prior to Closing, for the domain name “stavola.com”, Seller shall provide evidence of update of the Account Holder email address to a Company employee email address, and Primary and Administrative users to Company employees and email addresses. Before the end of the Transition Period, Buyer shall (and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Companies) to) promptly assign and transfer its right, title, and interest to the domain name "stavola.com", to Joanne Stavola or her designee.

Each Seller, on behalf of itself and the other Seller Releasors, agrees that this release shall act as a release of all Seller Released Claims, whether such Seller Released Claims are currently known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or absolute, asserted or unasserted, and each Seller, on behalf of itself and the other Seller Releasors, intentionally and specifically waives any statute or rule which may prohibit the release of future rights or a release with respect to unknown claims. The Buyer Releasees are intended third-party beneficiaries of this release, and this release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Buyer Releasees hereunder.

The Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Releasors, agrees that this release shall act as a release of all Buyer Released Claims, whether such Buyer Released Claims are currently known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or absolute, asserted or unasserted, and the Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Releasors, intentionally and specifically waives any statute or rule which may prohibit the release of future rights or a release with respect to unknown claims. The Seller Releasees are intended third-party beneficiaries of this release, and this release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Seller Releasees hereunder. If any provision of this release is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this release will remain in full force and effect.
6.17Wrong Pocket. For a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing, if any Party or any of its Affiliates receives any (i) funds or payments intended for or otherwise the property of the other Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the receiving Party shall promptly (A) notify and (B) transfer, or cause to be transferred, such funds to, the other Party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that there is no right of offset with respect to such funds, whether in connection with a dispute under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise) or (ii) mail, courier package, facsimile transmission, purchase order, invoice, service request or other document intended for or otherwise the property of the other Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the receiving Party shall promptly (A) notify and (B) forward such document to the other Party.
6.18Insurance. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain or cause to be maintained the Insurance Policies in full force and effect until the Closing. From and after the Closing, the Companies shall not be entitled to make claims on, claim benefits from or seek coverage under any Seller Insurance Policies except that: (i) with respect to any claim asserted against, or loss incurred by, any of the Companies or with respect to the Purchased Assets after the Closing arising out of an act, claim, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss occurring prior to the Closing (“Post-Closing Claims”), the Companies may access coverage under the occurrence-based Seller Insurance Policies issued or in place prior to the Closing under which any of the Companies or the Purchased Assets is or was insured (“Pre-Closing Occurrence Based Policies”) to the extent such insurance coverage exists; and (ii) after the Closing, any of the Companies (or the Buyer on its behalf) may seek coverage for any Post-Closing Claim under any applicable Pre-
77

Closing Occurrence Based Policy to the extent such insurance coverage exists and Seller and its Affiliates shall cooperate with the applicable Company and the Buyer in connection with tendering or pursuing such claims; provided, however, that (A) the Buyer or the Company shall reasonably promptly notify Sellers’ Representative of all such Post-Closing Claims and (B) without limiting any indemnity obligation of the Sellers under Section 9.2, the Buyer and the Company shall be responsible for the satisfaction or payment of any applicable retention, deductible or retrospective premium with respect to any Post-Closing Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all insurance coverage under all of the Insurance Policies as it relates to the Companies or the Purchased Assets will be terminated by the Sellers at and as of the Closing.
6.19Vehicle Liens. With respect to the vehicles included in the Purchased Assets for which any of the Asset Sellers’ respective lenders has recorded a Lien on the title for such vehicles, the applicable Asset Seller shall, or shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its lender to, within 30 days following the Closing Date, manually execute the Lien release on the original paper titles or submit any other documentation necessary to release the Liens with respect to the assets listed on Section 6.19 of the Disclosure Schedule, and each such Asset Seller shall take any reasonable steps to assist the Buyer in obtaining the release of any Lien on title and new original titles for such assets upon the release of Liens pursuant to this Section 6.19.

TERMINATION
8.1Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
(a)by mutual written consent of the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer;
(b)by the Buyer by written notice to the Sellers’ Representative if:
(i)the Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in, or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any Seller or Founder pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article 7 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by such Seller or Founder by November 1, 2024 (the “Drop-Dead Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to the Buyer if the failure of the Buyer to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of such breach, inaccuracy or failure, or if the conditions in Article 7 are not capable of being satisfied because there is then a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement; or
(ii)any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall not have been fulfilled by the Drop-Dead Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, or conditions of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing.
(c)by the Sellers’ Representative by written notice to the Buyer if:
(i)the Sellers and the Founders are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in, or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article 7 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by the Buyer by the Drop-Dead Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) shall not be available to the Sellers’ Representative if the failure of the Sellers or the Founders to fulfill any of their obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of such breach, or if the conditions in Article 7 are
80

not capable of being satisfied because there is then a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by the Sellers or the Founders in this Agreement; or
(ii)any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 shall not have been fulfilled by the Drop-Dead Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Sellers or the Founders to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, or conditions of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by them prior to the Closing.
(d)by the Buyer or the Sellers if, (A) despite such terminating Party’s full compliance with its obligations under Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as applicable, (i) there shall be any Law that makes the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited, or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order shall have become final and non-appealable, or (B) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Drop-Dead Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (B) of this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to a Party if the failure of such Party to perform any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement, to act in good faith or to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby has been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to be consummated on or before such date.
8.2Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article 8, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party except:
(a)the Buyer’s obligations under the second to last sentence of Section 6.2, Section 6.3(a), Section 8.2(c) and Section 8.2(d) hereto, and, as necessary to give effect to these enumerated provisions, the Buyer Parent’s obligations under Section 11.16, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement;
(b)this Article 8, Article 11 (other than Section 11.5) or Annex B, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement;
(c)in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than by the Buyer solely under Section 8.1(b)(i), the Buyer shall reimburse the reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses (up to a maximum of $2,000,000 in the aggregate) incurred or paid by or on behalf of the Sellers, the Owners, the Sellers’ Representative and/or the Companies, and their respective Affiliates, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance hereof and thereof (the “Reimbursement Fee”); provided, however, that if the Closing occurs after the Reimbursement Fee is paid to Sellers, the Buyer shall receive a credit toward the Purchase Price paid at Closing in the amount of the Reimbursement Fee previously paid by the Buyer. Such Reimbursement Fee shall be paid to the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Sellers’ Representative’s written request therefore to the Buyer, such request to include reasonable detail regarding which fees and expenses are included in the calculation of the Reimbursement Fee, including background support therefor; and
81

(d)to the extent not previously paid by the Buyer to the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) under the amendment to the LOI, dated June 21, 2024, by and between Arcosa, Inc. and Stavola NJ, the Buyer shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket Auditor Expenses (as defined below) to the extent such Auditor Expenses are incurred by Stavola NJ or its Affiliates during the period prior to the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement, pursuant to its terms, if applicable) at the express direction of the Buyer or its designated advisors in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Restated Financial Statements or any financial statements set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Required Information” (in each case even if any such financial statements are ultimately not required as a result of when the Marketing Period ended under the definition of “Marketing Period”). The Buyer will pay such unpaid Auditor Expenses from time to time within thirty (30) days of its receipt from Stavola NJ of an itemized invoice for such provider of such services, for all or any portion of such Auditor Expenses, with a request by Stavola NJ for payment. As used herein, “Auditor Expenses” means expenses of Stavola NJ or its Affiliates owed to (a) their current independent auditors/accountants (Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. and CBIZ MHM, LLC), (b) their current legal counsel (Sills Cummis and Gross P.C.) (to the extent that services provided by such legal counsel reasonably relate to the services provided by such current independent auditors or accountants at the express direction of the Buyer or its designated advisors in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Restated Financial Statements or any financial statements set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Required Information” (in each case even if any such financial statements are ultimately not required as a result of when the Marketing Period ended under the definition of “Marketing Period”), and as recorded to a billing matter separate from such counsel’s representation of Stavola NJ in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby more broadly), and/or (c) other independent auditors/accountants, so long as Stavola NJ has received the Buyer’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Buyer fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or this Section 8.2(d), then the Buyer shall reimburse the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers and the Owners) for the reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of outside counsel) incurred in connection with any collection suit or action for such overdue amounts in which the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers and the Owners) is the prevailing party, plus interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate of interest set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made; for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Reimbursement Fee be payable on account of any such fees directly paid by or on behalf of, or previously reimbursed by, the Buyer;
(e)subject to Annex B hereto, nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any Party from liability for such Party’s Fraud or Willful Breach, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Article 9.
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION; REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY INSURANCE
9.1Survival. Except in the cause of Fraud, none of the representations and warranties in Article 3, Article 4 and Article 5 of this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Closing and each such representation and warranty shall terminate on and as of the Closing, and no claims may be brought with respect to such representations or warranties from or after the Closing (it
82

being understood that nothing in this Section 9.1 is intended to affect or limit the Buyer’s ability to recover under any RWI Policy for any matters covered thereunder). The pre-Closing covenants of the Sellers and the Founders and the Companies contained in this Agreement shall terminate as of the Closing (except that the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing for 90 days). The pre-Closing covenants of the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall terminate as of the Closing. Those covenants and agreements that by their terms contemplate performance in whole or in part after the Closing shall survive the Closing until the applicable date specified by their terms, or if not so specified, until performed in accordance with their respective terms.
9.2Indemnification by the Sellers.
(a)From and after the Closing, the Sellers shall, subject to Section 6.5(e) and the requirements and limitation set forth in this Article 9, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners, direct and indirect equityholders, employees, agents and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses to the extent arising out of or resulting from:
(i)any Excluded Liability;
(ii)any breach or non-performance of Section 6.1;
(iii)any breach or non-performance of the Sellers’ obligations pursuant to Section 6.14 hereof; and
(iv)any matter scheduled on Schedule 9.2(a)(iv).
The Buyer Indemnified Parties are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.2 (subject to the other provisions of this Article 9).
(b)All funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account will be retained by the Escrow Agent and may provide recourse to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a), and not for any other claim any Buyer Indemnified Party may have. If, on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, no notice has been given regarding an alleged indemnifiable matter under Section 9.2(a), and no pending, unresolved claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party in respect thereof has been made, all remaining amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be paid to the Sellers’ Representative for further distribution to the Equity Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Interest; otherwise, the Indemnity Escrow Account shall remain open in the amount of the unresolved claim or claims pending resolution of such matter(s) or claim(s) with such amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account and then shall be settled and released to the applicable Party upon final settlement of same. The balance in the Indemnity Escrow Account not subject to unresolved claims shall be released to the Sellers. The aggregate liability of Sellers under Section 9.2(a) (other than in the event of Fraud) shall in no event exceed the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Escrow Account and no claim for indemnification hereunder may be brought following the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Founders shall have no liability of any type or kind under this Agreement (other than for Fraud or a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.6 and, in such case, the Founders shall be liable severally and not jointly for any such Fraud or breach).
83

9.3Indemnification by the Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall, subject to the requirements and limitation set forth in this Article 9, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers, the Founders, and their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners, direct and indirect equityholders, employees, agents and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of or resulting from (i) any Assumed Liability, (ii) any breach or non-performance of the Buyer of its indemnification obligations in the second to last sentence of Section 6.2; the last sentence of Section 6.13(a)(ii); Section 6.5(e); Section 6.5(d); or 6.5(j); and (iii) any Losses incurred by any of the Sellers under the New Jersey or federal WARN Acts as a result of the actions of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates under Section 6.5(a) and/or Section 6.5(b). The Seller Indemnified Parties are third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.3 (subject to the other provisions of this Article 9).
9.4Procedure and Limitations.
(a)In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (as applicable, the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement as a result of a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice thereof to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly (and in any event, within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of such Third-Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail (i) the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the estimated amount or anticipated method of computation of the amount of such claim, to the extent known, and (iii) the nature of the breach of covenant or agreement with respect to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to indemnification hereunder (all of the foregoing, the “Claim Information”), and shall provide any other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request to the extent available; such written notice shall, until resolved, toll survival of the applicable covenant or other indemnifiable category and such covenant or indemnifiable category shall continue to survive. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 9 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure.
(b)The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (i) for which any portion of the relief sought is an injunction, restraining order or specific performance, or (ii) which relates to any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make separate representation advisable, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the
84

reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) counsel to such Indemnified Party in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, employees, pertinent books and records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) possession or under the Indemnified Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party, in each case, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice and subject to customary terms of confidentiality. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the exclusive right to agree to a settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Claim with the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; provided, that the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent shall not be required if such settlement, compromise or discharge (A) does not impose any equitable or other non-monetary remedies or obligations on the Indemnified Party, (B) does not involve a finding or admission of wrongdoing or any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, and (C) results in the full and general release, in customary form, of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities arising or related to or in connection with the Third-Party Claim (for the avoidance of doubt, any settlement, compromise or discharge that would fail to satisfy any of the foregoing criteria in clauses (A), (B) or (C) shall require the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, to be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not agree to a settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.
(c)In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice of such claim containing the Claim Information to the Indemnifying Party promptly after the Indemnified Person’s discovery of the applicable Losses reasonably likely to give rise to such claim, and shall provide any other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; such notice shall, until resolved, toll survival of the applicable covenant or other indemnifiable category. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 9 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall (and shall cause it Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such cooperation shall include making available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, employees, pertinent books and records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) possession or under the Indemnified Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party, in each case, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice and subject to customary terms of confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall not be required to provide access to any information to the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnified Party determines, in its reasonable
85

discretion, that (i) such access would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, or (ii) such access would contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof; provided that the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such impediments to the provision of access as contemplated hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to commence any Action against the Indemnifying Party for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.4 unless the Indemnified Party has first provided notice of the claim to the Indemnifying Party as set forth herein.
(d)The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under Section 9.2 or Section 9.2(b) shall be limited to the Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party and shall be computed net of (i) any insurance or other proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Losses (net of any associated insurance deductibles and associated recovery costs), other than under the RWI Policy and (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other payment or monetary recoupment received, realized, or retained by the Indemnified Party as a result of the events giving rise to the claim (net of any fees, costs or expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party associated with such recoupment). If any recovery from a third party (including any net insurance recovery other than from the RWI Policy) is realized by an Indemnified Party within a eighteen (18)-month period after having previously received indemnification proceeds under Section 9.2, such Indemnified Party will promptly tender to the respective Indemnifying Party an amount equal to such recovery from a third party (including any insurance recovery other than from the RWI Policy), not to exceed the amount of the indemnification proceeds paid by the Indemnifying Party.
(e)Any indemnification amount that is agreed or determined to be due and owing to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall be effected solely by, and the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 9.2(a) shall be, a release of funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Account, to the extent available (in which case, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the amount owed, to the extent of remaining funds, to the Buyer). Any indemnification amount that is agreed or determined to be due and owing to the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall be effected by a wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Buyer (based on the wiring instructions provided by the Sellers’ Representative at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment) within five (5) Business Days after a determination thereof that is binding on the Buyer.
(f)Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon obtaining actual knowledge of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
9.5RWI Policy.
(a)The Buyer has executed a conditional binder agreement (the “Binder Agreement”), attached as Exhibit F, with respect to a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein (the “RWI Policy”), which the Buyer has provided the Sellers’ Representative with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide reasonable comments to. The Buyer shall cause the RWI Policy, if obtained, to expressly provide that (i) each insurer issuing the RWI Policy has waived or otherwise
86

shall not pursue any subrogation, contribution, or other recourse against any Seller, any Founder or any other Seller Indemnified Party, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except in the case of Fraud (in which case, recourse may be pursued only against such Person and each Seller and Founder shall be severally, and not jointly, liable only for Fraud committed by such Seller or Founder, as the case may be) (the “Subrogation Waiver”), (ii) the Buyer shall have no obligation to pursue any claim against any Seller or Founder in connection with any Losses, and (iii) each of the Sellers, the Founders and the other Seller Indemnified Parties may rely upon and enforce the Subrogation Waiver as express third-party beneficiaries thereof. From and after the issuance of the RWI Policy, the Buyer shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) amend, modify, or otherwise change, terminate, or waive the Subrogation Waiver without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. The Buyer shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with a true and complete copy of the final and issued RWI Policy as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing.
(b)The Buyer shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of obtaining the RWI Policy, including all premiums, surplus line taxes, premium taxes, underwriting fees, and any related brokers’ fees and commissions (the “RWI Policy Costs”). From and after Closing, the Buyer shall be responsible for the costs of maintaining the RWI Policy and for any associated deductible or retention amounts, and the RWI Policy shall not provide for any “seller retention” (as such phrase is commonly used in the representation and warranty insurance policy industry). The Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to the Buyer a true and correct copy of contents of the Data Room on a USB drive or other electronic means as soon as reasonably practical (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the Closing.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the RWI Policy is not a condition for the Buyer to proceed to Closing, and the Buyer shall remain obligated, subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement regardless of whether the RWI Policy becomes effective. The absence of coverage under the RWI Policy or the failure of the RWI Policy to be in full force and effect for any reason shall not expand, alter, amend, change, or otherwise affect the liability of any Seller, any Founder, or any other Seller Indemnified Party under this Agreement.
Article 10.

(a)By the execution of this Agreement, each Seller and Founder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Sellers’ Representative as the representative, agent, proxy, and attorney in fact for such Seller, the Owners and such Founder for all purposes authorized under this Agreement, including the full power and authority on such Seller’s, the Owners’ and such Founder’s behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein; (ii) to incur and pay Sellers’ Representative Expenses (whether incurred or paid on or after the date hereof); (iii) to disburse any funds received hereunder to such Seller or the Owners (including from the Tax Escrow); (iv) to endorse and deliver any certificates or instruments representing the Purchased Interests and execute such further instruments of assignment or transfer of the Purchased Interests or Purchased Assets as the Buyer shall reasonably request; (v) to execute and deliver, as the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of such Seller or Founder any amendment or waiver hereto and any other agreements contemplated hereby; (vi) (A) to dispute or refrain from disputing, or to deliver instructions, on behalf of such Seller or Founder relative to any amounts to be received by such Seller or the Owners under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, any claim made by the Buyer under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, (B) to negotiate and compromise, on behalf of such Seller or Founder, any dispute that may arise under, and exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, including under the Escrow Agreement, (C) to execute, on behalf of such Seller or Founder, any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy, and (D) to establish an interest-bearing bank account (the “Sellers’ Representative Account”) in the initial amount held back by the Sellers’ Representative out of the Purchase Price under Section 1.5 to provide the Sellers’ Representative a source of funds to pay Sellers’ Representative Expenses and for all other purposes specified or contemplated by this Section 11.13 (it being understood that the Sellers’ Representative Account shall be for the sole benefit of the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers, and that Buyer shall not have any right to receive payment from such account or any other right of any kind or nature with respect thereto); (vii) to engage, consult with and receive services from attorneys, accountants, agents or consultants on behalf of Seller or Founder in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby and pay any fees relating thereto (on behalf of the Sellers, Owners and Founders); (viii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Seller, the Owners or such Founder in
112

connection herewith; and (ix) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which the Sellers, Owners and Founders individually or collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative shall not have the authority to agree to any amendment of this Agreement or enter into any agreement or take any of the foregoing actions that would disproportionately favor any Seller or Owner over any other Seller or Owner or materially and adversely affect the Sellers and Owners, in the aggregate, including, without limitation, the expansion of the covenant of any Founder under Section 6.6. Each of the Sellers and Founders agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any such Seller or Founder. If any Seller or Founder dies or becomes incapacitated, disabled or incompetent (such deceased, incapacitated, disabled or incompetent Seller or Founder being a “Former Seller Party”) and, as a result, the agency and power of attorney conferred by this Section 11.13(a) is revoked by operation of law, it shall not be a breach by such Former Selling Party under this Agreement if the heirs, beneficiaries, estate, administrator, executor, guardian, conservator or other legal representative of such Former Selling Party (each a “Successor Selling Party”) confirms the appointment of the Sellers’ Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for such Successor Selling Party. All decisions and actions by the Sellers’ Representative (to the extent authorized by this Agreement) shall be binding upon all Sellers and Founders, and none of the Sellers, Owners or Founders shall have the right to object, dissent, and protest or otherwise contest the same.
(b)In the event of the bankruptcy or dissolution of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers and Founders shall appoint a substitute Person (which may or may not be a Seller or a Founder) to act as “Sellers’ Representative” hereunder with all rights, powers and authority to act on behalf of the Sellers and Founders as the initial Sellers’ Representative has pursuant to this Section 11.13, subject to the approval of a simple majority of the Founders. The Sellers’ Representative agrees that he, she or it shall not voluntarily resign as Sellers’ Representative without providing to the Buyer and each of the Sellers and Founders prior written notice of his, her or its intention to do so. Such notice shall include a substitute Person (which may or may not be a Seller or a Founder) appointed by the Sellers’ Representative to act as “Sellers’ Representative” hereunder with all rights, powers and authority to act on behalf of the Sellers and Founders as the initial Sellers’ Representative has pursuant to this Section 11.13, subject to the approval of a simple majority of the Founders.
(c)The Parties agree that any notice given to the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement will constitute notice to each and all of the Sellers and the Founders at the time notice is given to the Sellers’ Representative. Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Sellers and the Founders. Each Seller and Founder agrees that the Buyer and any and all other Persons shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf such Sellers or Founder pursuant to Section 11.13(a) (an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each such Seller and Founder as fully as if such Seller and Founder had taken such Authorized Action. The Buyer agrees that the Sellers’ Representative, as the representative of the Sellers and the Openers hereunder, shall have no liability to the Buyer for any Authorized Action, except to the extent that such Authorized Action is found by a court of
113

competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or willful misconduct. Each of the Founders agrees, on behalf of the Owners, that each of the Owners shall severally, but not jointly, based on such Owner’s Pro Rata Interest, as set forth on Schedule 1.5 hereto, indemnify and hold harmless, the Sellers’ Representative from any and all losses, liabilities and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) arising out of or in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s execution and performance (solely in his, her or its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative and not in his, her or its capacity as a Seller or Owner, if applicable) of this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such execution and performance is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or willful misconduct by the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with such advice, the Sellers’ Representative will not be liable to the Sellers, the Owners or the Founders. In no event will the Sellers’ Representative (solely in his, her or its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative and not in his, her or its capacity as a Seller or Owner) be liable hereunder or in connection herewith to any of the Sellers or the Founders for any indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages.
(d)All fees, expenses or liabilities incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the exercise of any power or authority hereby conferred on the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, shall be reimbursed to the Sellers’ Representative by the Owners severally, but not jointly, based on such Owner’s Pro Rata Interest, as set forth on Schedule 1.5 hereto, upon request (such fees, expenses and liabilities, including any legal and other fees and expenses incurred to enforce the rights and remedies of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, related solely to the transactions contemplated hereunder, being referred to collectively as “Sellers’ Representative Expenses”). Without limiting the Sellers’ Representative’s right to recover Shareholder Representative Expenses directly from the Owners, the Sellers and the Founders agree that the Representative shall have the right to use the entirety of the funds in the Sellers’ Representative Account to fund Sellers’ Representative Expenses and to satisfy, settle or otherwise manage in any way any and all obligations of the Sellers and the Founders under the this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated hereby, it being agreed by the Sellers and the Founders that at any time and from time to time, the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to unilaterally disburse all or a portion of the then remaining funds in the Sellers’ Representative Account to the appropriate Persons to fund or reimburse Sellers’ Representative Expenses, satisfy, settle or otherwise manage in any way such obligations of the Sellers and the Founders and/or make distributions or cause distributions to be made from the Sellers’ Representative Account to (or as directed by) the Sellers.
(e)The Sellers’ Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller, Owner or Founder, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Seller or Owner, as the case may be. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller, Owner or Founder for any action taken or omitted by him, her or it or any agent employed by him, her or it hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be relieved of any liability that is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller, Owner or Founder for any apportionment or
114

distribution of payments made by the Sellers’ Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Seller or Owner to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the other Sellers or Owners any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Neither the Sellers’ Representative nor any agent employed by him, her or it shall incur any liability to any Seller, Owner or Founder by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Sellers’ Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of his, her or its other duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions that are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or bad faith. All of the indemnities, reimbursement obligations, immunities and powers granted to the Sellers’ Representative under this Section 11.13 shall survive the Closing Date and/or any termination of this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated hereby.
(f)The Board of Directors of the Sellers’ Representative in its capacity as such, and not individually, shall (i) act on behalf of the Seller’s Representative in all respects, and (ii) be entitled to all of the protections and rights afforded to the Seller’s Representative hereunder, under the Governing Documents of the Sellers’ Representative and by operation of Law.
11.14Waiver of Conflicts.
(a)The Buyer hereby agrees, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, members, partners, officers and employees (including, following the Closing, the Companies), and their respective successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that Sills Cummis & Gross P.C. (or any successor) (the “Legal Advisors”) may represent any or all of the Sellers or the Founders, or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees, trustees or Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Group”) in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby adverse to the Waiving Parties or any other Person, notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of the Companies. The Buyer, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest, breach of duty or any other objection arising therefrom or relating thereto.
(b)The Buyer, on behalf of its itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications, written or oral, between any Company or any Person in the Seller Group and its counsel, including the Legal Advisors, 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 or any Ancillary Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications that do not pass to the Buyer or any Company (or if held by a Company at Closing shall be deemed to have been transferred and assigned to the Sellers) notwithstanding purchase and sale of the Companies or the Transferred Assets, and instead survive, remain with and arc controlled by the Sellers (the “Privileged Communications”), without any waiver thereof.
115

(c)The Buyer, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby further agrees (i) that no Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email server of a Company or otherwise (including in the knowledge of the officers and employees), in any dispute or other Proceeding against or involving any of the Parties after the Closing, (ii) not to assert that any privilege has been waived as to the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email server of a Company or otherwise (including in the knowledge of the officers and employees) and (iii) not to take any action that would result in any subsequent waiver of the privilege respecting the Privileged Communications.
(d)The Legal Advisors are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions in this Section 11.14.
11.15Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parties on behalf of itself and each of its respective controlled Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim, suit, investigation or any other proceeding of any kind or description (whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise), involving the Debt Financing Sources, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America, in each case, sitting in New York County and any appellate court thereof (each such court, the “Subject Courts”) and each Party irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (except to the extent (a) relating to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or (b) expressly specified otherwise in any agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing) to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Subject Court and agrees that any such dispute shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, (b) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its respective controlled Affiliates to bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim, suit, investigation or any other proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any Subject Court, (c) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim, suit, investigation or other proceeding of any kind or description in any such Subject Court, (d) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable legal requirements trial by jury in any legal action brought against the Debt Financing Sources in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (e) agrees that none of the Debt Financing Sources will have any liability to any of the Sellers or Owners or their respective controlled Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder and that none of the Sellers or Founders or their respective controlled Affiliates shall bring or support any legal action, including any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim, suit, investigation or other proceeding of any kind or
116

description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Debt Financing Sources relating to or in any way arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (f) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim, suit, investigation or any other proceeding of any kind or description involving any Debt Financing Source or the transactions contemplated hereby, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Subject Courts as described herein for any reason, (g) agree that service of process upon any Party in any such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim, suit, investigation or any other proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 11.2, (h) agree that no Debt Financing Source shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortious nature and (i) agrees (x) that the Debt Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions in this Section 11.15 (or the definitions of any terms used in this Section 11.15), Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 and (y) to the extent any amendments to any such provisions (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would not modify the substance of this Section 11.15) are adverse to the Debt Financing Sources, such provisions shall not be amended or waived in any way without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 11.15 shall in any way affect any Party’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ rights and remedies under any binding agreement between a Debt Financing Source and such Party.
11.16Buyer Parent Guarantor.
(a)In consideration of, and as an inducement to, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sellers and the Founders, and as a material inducement of such execution and delivery, the Buyer Parent hereby unconditionally, absolutely, continuingly and irrevocably guarantees to the Sellers and the Founders (on behalf of the Owners) the full, complete, and timely payment and performance by the Buyer of all of the obligations, liabilities of the Buyer arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in accordance with their terms. The Buyer Parent consents and agrees that if the Buyer shall fail to pay in full when due any of Buyer’s obligations hereunder, the Buyer Parent shall promptly (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the due date) pay the same, at the place and in the manner specified herein. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The Buyer Parent hereby agrees that (i) no formal change, amendment, modification, or waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (ii) no extension in whole or in part of the time for the performance by the Buyer of its liabilities under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (iii) no settlement, compromise, release, surrender, modification, or impairment of, or exercise or failure to exercise any claim, right, or remedy of any kind or nature in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and (iv) no voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Buyer or the marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings or any other inability to pay or perform affecting the Buyer or any of its assets, in each case shall affect, impair, or discharge, in whole or in part, the liability of the Buyer Parent for the
117

full, prompt, and unconditional performance of the liabilities of the Buyer under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
(b)The liability of the Buyer Parent under this Agreement is absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, irrespective of any circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The Buyer Parent agrees that this guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time all or part of any payment of any obligation under this guaranty is voided, rescinded, or recovered, or must otherwise be returned by the Sellers’ Representative, a Seller, an Owner or any other party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Buyer. This guarantee of the Buyer Parent shall be a continuing guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the liabilities and obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are discharged and paid in full or cease to be liabilities or obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (whether by termination of this Agreement or otherwise) and the Ancillary Agreements. The Buyer Parent waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against the Buyer in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 11.16.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading positions in construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows have been made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 may not be indicative of Arcosa's expected business, financial condition, and results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2024.
These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board") authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.
Construction Products
The Construction Products segment recognizes substantially all revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Engineered Structures
Within the Engineered Structures segment, revenue is recognized for wind towers and certain utility structures over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed. In addition, we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of September 30, 2024, we had a contract asset of $77.3 million related to these contracts, compared to $66.8 million as of December 31, 2023, which is included in receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract asset is attributed to timing of deliveries of finished structures to customers during the period. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Transportation Products
The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of September 30, 2024 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2024 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2024:
Unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2024
Total
Amount		Percent expected to be delivered in 2024
 (in millions)
Engineered Structures:
Utility, wind, and related structures$1,264.6 20 %
Transportation Products:
Inland barges$244.7 32 %
Of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for utility, wind, and related structures, 47% are expected to be delivered during 2025 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2028. All of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges are expected to be delivered during 2025.
Income Taxes
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected credit losses. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. To accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to third parties. The Company has no recourse to these receivables once they are sold but may have continuing involvement related to servicing and collection activities. The impact of these transactions in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was not significant. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices, or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. When derivative instruments are in place, the Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties to mitigate the risk of loss due to counterparties' non-performance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company will adopt additional disclosure requirements within its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2024 and its interim reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not adopted as of September 30, 2024
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for public companies during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Although ASU 2023-09 only modifies the Company's required income tax disclosures, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions and Divestitures
2024 Acquisitions
On October 1, 2024, we completed the acquisition of the construction materials business of Stavola Holding Corporation and its affiliated entities ("Stavola") for $1.2 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. Stavola, which will be reported within the Construction Products segment, is an aggregates-led and vertically integrated construction materials company primarily serving the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") through its network of five hard rock natural aggregates quarries, twelve asphalt plants, and three recycled aggregates sites. We are currently in the process of finalizing the accounting for this transaction and expect to complete the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration in the fourth quarter of 2024. The acquisition was financed with a combination of a $600 million issuance of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes that closed in August 2024 following the announcement of the acquisition and a $700 million borrowing of a variable-rate secured term loan that closed on October 1, 2024 concurrent with the completion of the acquisition. See Note 7 Debt for additional information.
In July 2024, we completed the acquisition of a Phoenix, Arizona based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $35.0 million.
In April 2024, we completed the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products LLC ("Ameron"), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered, premium concrete and steel poles for a broad range of infrastructure applications, including lighting, traffic, electric distribution, and small-cell telecom, for a total purchase price of $180.0 million. With operations in Alabama, California, and Oklahoma, Ameron is included in our Engineered Structures segment. The acquisition was funded with $160.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities ("Level 3" inputs). The preliminary valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $56.5 million of property, plant, and equipment, $27.1 million of customer relationships, $18.1 million of inventory, $12.8 million of technology, $12.0 million of accounts receivable, $8.9 million of trademarks and $42.8 million of goodwill in our Engineered Structures segment. The goodwill acquired, which is tax-deductible, primarily relates to Ameron's market position and existing workforce. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of property, plant, and equipment, customer relationships, and technology.
2023 Acquisitions
In December 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Lake Point Holdings, LLC and Lake Point Restoration LLC, (collectively "Lake Point") a Florida based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $65.1 million. The acquisition was funded with $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The preliminary valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $13.2 million of property, plant, and equipment, $19.1 million of mineral reserves, $11.5 million of permits, and $15.4 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of mineral reserves, permits, and property, plant, and equipment.
In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business and the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Florida based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.
In September 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Houston, Texas based stabilized sand producer in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
In March 2023, we completed the stock acquisition of a Houston, Texas based shoring, trench, and excavation products business in our Construction Products segment. In February 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.
Divestitures
On August 16, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its steel components business. The steel components business, previously reported in the Transportation Products segment, is a leading supplier of railcar coupling devices, railcar axles, and circular forgings. The total consideration for the divestiture was $110.0 million consisting of $55.0 million in cash, a $25.0 million seller's note and a $30.0 million earnout of which the estimated fair value as of September 30, 2024 was $14.1 million. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $23.0 million on the sale of the business which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenues and operating profit (loss) of the steel components business were $87.8 million and $(20.9) million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $117.6 million and $8.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we completed the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities of a single-location asphalt and paving operation in our Construction Products segment and the sale of a non-operating facility in our Engineered Structures segment. The total consideration for these divestitures was $27.3 million. The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $12.5 million which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
There were no divestitures completed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Other
In June 2023, the Company settled a $15.0 million holdback obligation from the 2021 acquisition of Southwest Rock Products, LLC upon the extension of a certain mineral reserve lease. Based on final negotiations with the seller, the holdback was settled for $10.0 million and paid during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $5.0 million difference between the settlement amount and the amount accrued at the time of acquisition was recorded as a reduction in cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:
Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.
Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Debt.
Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration relates to estimated future payments expected from businesses previously acquired or sold. We estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration using a model appropriate for the structure of the contingent consideration, which may include discounted cash flow models, Monte Carlo simulations, or option pricing models. The fair values are sensitive to changes in the forecast of the performance metrics and in other metrics such as discount rates and volatility. The fair value is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions used in our latest projections.

The increase in Engineered Structures goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is due to the acquisition of Ameron. The decrease in Transportation Products goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is due to the divestiture of the steel components business in August 2024.

Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to increase our revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to $600.0 million, extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility from January 2, 2025 to August 23, 2028, and refinance and repay in full the remaining balance of the term loan then outstanding under our prior credit facility.
On August 15, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to, among other things, (i) increase our revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $700.0 million, (ii) collateralize the amended revolving credit facility with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions), (iii) make the applicable margin for revolving borrowings, letters of credit and the commitment fee rate be based on our consolidated net leverage ratio (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), (iv) modify the margin for SOFR-based revolving borrowings and letters of credit to range from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, (v) modify the margin for base rate revolving borrowings to range from 0.25% to 1.50%, (vi) modify the commitment fee that accrues on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility to range from 0.20% to 0.45%, and (vii) modify the maximum permitted leverage to include a net debt concept (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), and to provide that such ratio shall be no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the next two fiscal quarters, 4.50 to 1.00 for the next following two fiscal quarters, and 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter (however, this maximum permitted leverage ratio may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for up to four fiscal quarters if a material acquisition is entered into). These amendments did not become effective until the closing of the Stavola acquisition on October 1, 2024. The amended revolving credit facility's maturity date of August 23, 2028 remains unchanged.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $240.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under our revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount of outstanding loans borrowed increased $80.0 million primarily due to $160.0 million borrowed in April 2024 to fund, in part, the acquisition of Ameron, of which $60.0 million was repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, as of September 30, 2024, prior to the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement, there were approximately $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility that will expire in 2025, which left $359.3 million available for borrowing. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
The interest rate for revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are variable based on the daily simple or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus 10-basis points, or an alternate base rate, in each case plus a margin for borrowing. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The margin for revolving borrowings and commitment fee rate are determined based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as measured by a consolidated funded indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash up to a maximum amount not to exceed $150.0 million, to consolidated EBITDA ratio). As of September 30, 2024, prior to the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement, the margin for borrowing based on SOFR was set at 1.50% and the commitment fee rate was set at 0.25%.
The revolving credit facility portion of the Amended Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company. On October 1, 2024, we collateralized our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions).
The carrying value of revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million. As of September 30, 2024, total unamortized debt issuance costs related to the prior and amended revolving credit facilities were $2.2 million. These costs are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Term Loan
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a new secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million. The Term Loan was funded on October 1, 2024 with the closing of the Stavola acquisition, of which $100.0 million was used to pay down the Company's revolving credit facility. The Term Loan requires, among other things, (i) mandatory prepayments from excess cash flow on an annual basis, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, (ii) mandatory prepayments with proceeds of certain asset sales and debt issuances, and (iii) quarterly principal amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the initial Term Loan. The Term Loan has a maturity date of October 1, 2031. The interest rate for the Term Loan is based on SOFR plus 2.25% per year. The Term Loan is prepayable at any time without penalty, except, in the event of a voluntary repricing in the first six months after closing, in which case a premium in the amount of 1.0% of the initial Term Loan is payable. The Term Loan is guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of the Company, that guarantee our revolving credit facility, and the Term Loan is secured on a pari passu basis with our revolving credit facility.
Senior Notes
On August 26, 2024, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior unsecured notes (the "2024 Notes") that mature in August 2032. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in February and August. In April 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes (the "2021 Notes", and together with the 2024 Notes, the "Senior Notes") that mature in April 2029. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semiannually in April and October. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our Amended Credit Agreement. The terms of each indenture governing the Senior Notes, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and each of its subsidiaries to create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. The terms of each indenture also limit the ability of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur certain types of debt.
The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in each applicable indenture) occurs, the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The estimated fair values of the 2024 Notes and 2021 Notes as of September 30, 2024 were $628.6 million and $383.9 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices in a market with little activity (Level 2 input).
In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes and the 2021 Notes, the Company incurred $8.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs.
The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of September 30, 2024 are as follows(1):

(1) The $700 million Term Loan was funded on October 1, 2024 concurrent with the closing of Stavola, of which $100 million was used to pay down the revolving credit facility. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures.
In connection with the agreement to acquire Stavola, on August 1, 2024 the Company entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders to provide a senior secured 364-day bridge loan facility of up to $1.2 billion for the purpose of providing the financing necessary to fund the acquisition. No funds were drawn upon the bridge loan facility, which terminated upon the closing of the Stavola acquisition. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $1.5 million of debt issuance costs related to the bridge loan facility, all of which is reflected in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Interest rate hedges
In December 2018, the Company entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company's committed credit facility. In conjunction with the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as a benchmark for borrowings under our credit facility, on July 1, 2023 the swap instrument transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR. The instrument effectively fixed the SOFR component of borrowings under our credit facility at a monthly rate of 2.71% until such instrument's termination. The interest rate swap instrument expired in October 2023 and no new interest rate swap instrument has been entered into in connection with the Term Loan.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We have various leases primarily for office space and certain equipment. At inception, we determine if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. For leases that contain options to purchase, terminate, or extend, such options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Some of our lease arrangements contain lease components and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Future minimum lease payments for operating and finance lease obligations as of September 30, 2024 consisted of the following:

Income Taxes Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. We have open tax years from 2014 to 2023 with various significant tax jurisdictions.
Our effective tax rates of 13.1% and 15.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to Advanced Manufacturing Production ("AMP") tax credits, compensation-related items, state income taxes, statutory depletion deductions, and tax effects of foreign currency translations. Our effective tax rates of 17.4% and 17.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to AMP tax credits, tax effects of foreign currency translations, compensation-related items, state income taxes, and statutory depletion deductions.

Earnings per Common Share Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income remaining after allocation to participating unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the weighted average net impact of nonparticipating unvested restricted shares. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.1 million and 1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.1 million and 1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading positions in construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows have been made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 may not be indicative of Arcosa's expected business, financial condition, and results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2024.
These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board") authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.
Construction Products
The Construction Products segment recognizes substantially all revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Engineered Structures
Within the Engineered Structures segment, revenue is recognized for wind towers and certain utility structures over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed. In addition, we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of September 30, 2024, we had a contract asset of $77.3 million related to these contracts, compared to $66.8 million as of December 31, 2023, which is included in receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract asset is attributed to timing of deliveries of finished structures to customers during the period. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Transportation Products
The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of September 30, 2024 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2024 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2024:

Of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for utility, wind, and related structures, 47% are expected to be delivered during 2025 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2028. All of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges are expected to be delivered during 2025.
Income Tax
Income Taxes
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected credit losses. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. To accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to third parties. The Company has no recourse to these receivables once they are sold but may have continuing involvement related to servicing and collection activities. The impact of these transactions in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was not significant. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices, or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. When derivative instruments are in place, the Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties to mitigate the risk of loss due to counterparties' non-performance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company will adopt additional disclosure requirements within its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2024 and its interim reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not adopted as of September 30, 2024
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for public companies during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Although ASU 2023-09 only modifies the Company's required income tax disclosures, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
