The Proposed Closing Date Statement of Net Working Capital, the Proposed Closing Date Statement of Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Proposed Purchase Price Calculation shall collectively be referred to herein from time to time as the “ Proposed Closing Date Calculations .” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Company fails to timely deliver any of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, then the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price shall represent the Final Statement of Purchase Price and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, unless the Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, notifies the Purchaser in writing no later than 90 days after the Closing Date that the Seller elects to retain a nationally recognized independent accounting firm to review the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 , which determination by such accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto; provided, however that the Seller reserves any and all rights granted in this Agreement and all remedies available to the Seller under this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make its books and records, to the extent reasonably required, available to such accounting firm in connection with its services, and all fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

               Section 2.3.3.2 From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller, the Seller’s Equityholders, and any of their respective accountants and advisors, reasonable access to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ accounting personnel (including the chief financial officer, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ and the Purchaser’s accountants), and the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and any other documents relating to the preparation of the Proposed Closing Date Calculations for the purposes of completing the Final Statement of Purchase Price. The Purchaser agrees that following the Closing Date and prior to the completion of the Final Statement of Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, preserve and not alter or destroy any of the books and records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on which the calculation of the Purchase Price or any component thereof are to be based, or which would reasonably be

expected to be useful or helpful to the Seller, Seller’s Equityholders or any of their respective accountants or advisors to calculate the Final Statement of Purchase Price.

               Section 2.3.3.3 If the Seller does not give written notice of dispute (a “ Dispute Notice ”) to the Purchaser within 30 days of receiving the Proposed Closing Date Calculations, the Seller and the Purchaser agree that (A) the Proposed Closing Date Statement of Net Working Capital shall be deemed to set forth the Net Working Capital as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, (B) the proposed Closing Date Statement of Cash and Cash Equivalents shall be deemed to set forth the Cash and Cash Equivalents and (C) the Proposed Purchase Price Calculation shall be deemed to set forth the Purchase Price; provided that, in the event the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not provide any papers or documents reasonably requested by the Seller during such 30-day period within five (5) days of request therefor (or such shorter period as may remain in such 30-day period), such 30-day period shall be extended by one day for each additional day required for the Purchaser, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to fully respond to such request. If the Seller gives a Purchase Price Dispute Notice to the Purchaser within such 30-day period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any extended period pursuant to the preceding sentence), the Purchaser and the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute during the 15-day period (the “ Discussions Period ”) commencing on the date that the Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to Purchaser. During the Discussions Period, each of the Purchaser and the Seller and their respective accountants shall have reasonable access to the working papers of the other prepared in connection with the Proposed Closing Date Calculations or the Dispute Notice, as the case may be, and to the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the extent relating thereto. If the Seller and the Purchaser do not obtain a final resolution within the Discussion Period, then the items remaining in dispute may be submitted thereafter by the Seller or the Purchaser to PricewaterhouseCoopers or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to handle such dispute, another nationally-recognized, independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser (the “ Accounting Firm ”). The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between the Seller and the Purchaser, and any associated engagement fees shall initially be borne 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Purchaser; provided , that such fees shall ultimately be allocated in accordance with Section 2.3.3.4 . The Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a determination of the applicable dispute within 15 days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm (or as soon thereafter as practically possible) in writing to each of Seller and the Company setting forth therein, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. In making its determination regarding such applicable dispute, the Accounting Firm shall select, with respect to each item in dispute, an amount between or equal to the Purchaser’s position as set forth in the Proposed Closing Date Calculations or the Seller’s position as set forth in the Dispute Notice. In connection with the resolution of any dispute, the Accounting Firm shall have access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel of the Seller, the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries necessary to make its determination. Each party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material such party deems relevant to the determination and shall have a continuing opportunity to discuss the matter and its position with the Accounting Firm, but no such presentation of materials or communication shall be on an ex parte basis. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Seller, the Purchaser and the other parties hereto and, subject to Section 10.5 , Section 10.6 and Section 10.14 , each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to enforce such determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. The

Company will revise the Proposed Closing Date Calculations as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3.3.3 . The “ Final Statement of Purchase Price ” shall mean the Proposed Purchase Price Calculation together with any revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3.3.3 .

               Section 2.3.3.4 In the event the Seller and the Purchaser submit any unresolved objections to the Accounting Firm for resolution as provided in Section 2.3.3.3 , the responsibility for the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm shall be as follows:

                    (A) if such Accounting Firm resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of the Purchaser’s position (the Purchase Price so determined is referred to herein as the “ Low Value ”), then all of the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm shall be paid by Seller;

                    (B) if such Accounting Firm resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of the Seller’s position (the Purchase Price so determined is referred to herein as the “ High Value ”), then all of the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Purchaser; and

                    (C) if such Accounting Firm neither resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of the Purchaser’s position nor resolves all of the remaining objections in favor of the Seller’s position (the Purchase Price so determined is referred to herein as the “ Actual Value ”), then that fraction of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm equal to (x) the difference between the High Value and the Actual Value over (y) the difference between the High Value and the Low Value shall be paid by the Seller, and the Purchaser will be responsible for the remainder of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm.

          Section 2.3.4 Adjustment to Estimated Purchase Price .

               Section 2.3.4.1 If the Actual Adjustment is a positive amount, the Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller such positive amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller, within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3.3 .

               Section 2.3.4.2 If the Actual Adjustment is a negative amount, the Seller will pay to the Purchaser such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3.3 .

          Section 9.2.2 After the Closing, each of the Purchaser and the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Seller, its members, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and/or agents (each a “ Seller Indemnitee ” and together the “ Seller Indemnitees ”) harmless from any Loss suffered or paid, directly or indirectly, as a result of, in connection with, or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in this Agreement contained in Article V , (ii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein, and (iii) any breach by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing.

          Section 9.3.1 If a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party (other than a Tax claim which shall be governed by Section 6.7 ) (a “ Third Party Claim ”) is made against any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to Section 9.2 (an “ Indemnified Party ”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity or reimbursement with respect thereto under this Article IX , such Indemnified Party shall promptly provide written notice to the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (or, in the case of a Purchaser Indemnitee seeking reimbursement, such Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Seller) (such notified party, the “ Responsible Party ”) of such claims; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall identify specifically the basis (with reference to the specific provision of this Agreement) under which indemnification or reimbursement is sought pursuant to Section 9.2 and enclose true and correct copies of any written document furnished to the Indemnified Party by the Person that instituted the Third Party Claim. The Responsible Party shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel selected by the Responsible Party at the expense of the Responsible Party, of the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that the Responsible Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by

such Indemnified Party, provided, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party. So long as the Responsible Party is contesting any such claim diligently and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim without the Responsible Party’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim without the Responsible Party’s consent; provided, that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity or reimbursement therefor by the Responsible Party or from the Escrow Account, as the case may be, for such claim unless the Responsible Party shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement. If the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim without the Responsible Party’s consent but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity or reimbursement therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The Responsible Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement that does not include an unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties who are parties to such claim from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment.

          Section 9.3.2 The Responsible Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought hereunder and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

      Section 9.4 Response Actions . With respect to any claims for indemnification under this Agreement, the Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitee or the Company with respect to any environmental sampling, analysis, investigation, reporting, monitoring, clean-up, containment, restoration, removal or other investigative, corrective or response action at the Leased Property taken by or on behalf of Purchaser or with respect to any Losses arising from conditions or events discovered or identified by or as a result of any of the foregoing actions (collectively, “ Response Actions ”) unless such Response Action is affirmatively (i) required under any applicable Environmental Law; (ii) required by a Governmental Authority, other than as a result of a report to a Governmental Authority made voluntarily by or on behalf of Purchaser that was not required under Environmental Law or by a Governmental Authority; (iii) reasonable in order to defend against a Third Party Claim alleging a Release of Hazardous Materials; (iv) required under, or to demonstrate compliance with, any applicable lease agreement for a Leased Property or this Agreement; (v) required as part of a bona fide construction, renovation, or demolition project by or on behalf of the Company; or (vi) necessary to address a bona fide material threat to human health, safety or the environment; and in each case such indemnification obligation shall be only to the extent required to attain compliance with standards applicable under Environmental Law for the continued industrial use of the relevant property or facility in a cost- effective manner, employing where applicable risk-based remedial standards and institutional controls, where such standards or controls would not unreasonably interfere with ongoing industrial operations at the relevant property or facility, provided that such level and extent of Response Actions is acceptable, to the extent applicable, to the Governmental Authority or, to the extent applicable, satisfies the terms under any Lease Agreement.

      Section 9.5 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The rights of the Purchaser Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2.1 are subject to the following limitations:

          Section 9.5.1 the amount of any and all Losses will be determined net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Purchaser Indemnitees under insurance policies or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses, provided that the Purchaser Indemnitees shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to recover under such insurance policies or other collateral sources, and (ii) any Tax benefits recognized with respect to such Losses;

          Section 9.5.2 in valuing a Loss, no adjustment shall be made as a result of any multiple, increase factor, or any other premium over fair market value, book or historical value which may have been paid by the Purchaser for the Common Stock whether or not such multiple, increase factor or other premium had been used by the Purchaser at the time of, or in connection with, calculating or preparing its bid, its proposed purchase price for the Common Stock or its final purchase price for the Common Stock;

          Section 9.5.3 the Purchaser Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2.1(i) until the total amount which the Purchaser Indemnitees would recover under Section 9.2.1(i) (as limited by the provisions of Sections 9.5.1 and 9.5.2 , but for this Section 9.5.3 ), exceeds $375,000 (the “ Deductible ”) and then only for the excess over the Deductible; provided , however , that the Deductible shall not apply to recovery for a breach of any Fundamental Representation;

          Section 9.5.4 the Purchaser Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2.1 (i) if the aggregate claims actually paid by the Seller on account thereof exceed $7,000,000 (the “ Cap ”); provided , however , that the Cap shall not apply to recovery for a breach of any Fundamental Representation;

          Section 9.5.5 in no event shall the Seller be liable for indemnification claims under this Agreement, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of the Purchase Price;

          Section 9.5.6 notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no party shall be liable for any consequential damages, including loss of revenue, income or profits, punitive, special or indirect damages, relating to any breach of this Agreement; and

          Section 9.5.7 in the event that the Purchaser fails, upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonable be expected to give rise to any Loss indemnifiable hereunder, to take reasonable steps to mitigate or prevent such Loss, the Purchaser shall be entitled to recover such Loss, but shall not be entitled to recover additional Losses directly resulting from such failure by the Purchaser to mitigate.

In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee recovers under insurance policies or from other collateral sources any amount in respect of a matter for which such Purchaser Indemnitee was indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2.1 of this Agreement, such Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to the Seller the amount so recovered but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid to or on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnitee in respect of such

matter, and (ii) any amount expended by the Seller in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

      Section 9.6 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as provided in Section 6.7 and Section 10.13 , after the Closing, (i) indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties hereto for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby (including with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters, including those arising under CERCLA or any other Environmental Laws or any other environmental matters or Tax matters), and (ii) any amounts owing from the Seller pursuant to Section 6.7 and or this Article IX shall first be made from the Escrow Account to the extent of available funds therein prior to any amounts being funded directly by the Seller.

Compass Diversified Holdings Acquires Liberty Safe and Security
Products, Inc.

Expands Family of Niche Leading Businesses with Accretive Acquisition

Westport, Conn., April 1, 2010 — Compass Diversified Holdings (Nasdaq: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”) an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today that on March 31, 2010, it entered into an agreement to acquire and consummated the acquisition of Liberty Safe and Security Products, Inc. (“Liberty”).

Based in Payson, Utah and founded in 1988, Liberty is the premier designer, manufacturer and marketer of home and gun safes in North America. From its over 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility, the company produces a wide range of home and gun safe models in a broad assortment of sizes, features and styles. Products are marketed under the Liberty brand, as well as a portfolio of licensed and private label brands, including Remington, Cabela’s and John Deere. The company’s products are the market share leader and are sold in various sporting goods, farm and fleet, and home improvement retailers. Liberty also has the largest independent dealer network in the industry. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Liberty reported revenue of $73.8 million.

CODI paid approximately $70 million to purchase Liberty, funding the acquisition with drawings under CODI’s revolving credit facility. In addition, CODI paid approximately $1.5 million in expenses associated with this transaction. CODI’s initial ownership position in the company is approximately 96%.

Commenting on the acquisition, Joe Massoud, CEO of Compass Diversified Holdings, said, “Liberty represents an ideal addition to our family of niche leading businesses. The company possesses those important characteristics that we seek in all of our businesses, including strong industry positioning, experienced management, stable cash flows and favorable macro trends. Demand among avid shooting sports enthusiasts remains healthy and we expect to benefit from increasing awareness of the need for safe storage of firearms. In addition, we believe that there is a largely untapped market

for premium home safes that represents an important growth avenue for the company going forward. We are enthusiastic about the prospect of working with the Liberty management team.”

Mr. Massoud added, “We expect the acquisition of Liberty to immediately provide our owners with ten to fifteen cents per share of cash flow accretion on a full year basis. Furthermore, we are optimistic that in the current environment, we will have additional opportunities to acquire businesses attractively on behalf of our shareholders.”

Jeff Talley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Liberty, will continue to serve in the same capacity at the company.
